KI : Bedroom Olympics

SALLY:
How was your bedroom olympics last night?

JULIE:
The opening ceremony wasn't great. Pizza, cheap plonk and pirated copy of The Hangover 2 recorded by someone with a nervous twitch. Pretty lame compared to Bejiing.

SALLY:
Everything seems better when you're on holiday. Any good events?

JULIE:
The diving was ok.

SALLY:
(laughing) Is John still trying to persuade you to join a 4x4 relay? I must admit, the only game I'd be up for playing with another couple is Bridge.

JULIE:
He's living in a dream world, the dirty bugger. He's not very good at it either. We had a practice, but he never tells me he's when he's passing me his baton, and I ended up dropping it because it was so slippy.

SALLY:
How about the pole vault. You normally really like that.

JULIE:
John called it off.

SALLY:
Why?

JULIE:
Slipped discus.

This is all a bit Carry On..., I thought. There's no real point to the sketch and I can't figure out what you're trying to say here.

Dan

I agree with Dan. sorry

It was an attempt at a different spin on the olympics, which looks like it didn't quite work. Ah well, one for the bin I think. Thanks for the comments.

Try re-working it Ishy with a misunderstanding of meaning between the two people. So the double entendres are innocent on the one side. Never bin anything unless it is rubbish.

Don't give up on this Ishy. There is a funny idea here waiting to get out. Agree with Mark P. The "one dirty" vs "one innocent" conversation about the "bedroom Olympics" could work really well.

Marc and David, thanks for the advice. I did detect a slight nostril twitch in this particular horse, as I was flogging it this morning, so here goes

VARIATION 1 - aka, the misunderstanding

JULIE: (sounding sultry)
That was a lovely meal. Do you, erm, want to come back to my flat? I've heard the bedroom olympics is on at the moment.

STEVE:
Sounds intriguing. What events did you have in mind?

JULIE (whispering)
Some breaststroke maybe, or some diving and if you're really lucky some pole vaulting.

STEVE(trying to sound sultry):
Yeah. Sounds great. And then maybe some steeplechase, or an exhausting 1500 m. And if YOU'RE really lucky, the shot put. Yeah.

JULIE:
Grief. You're rubbish at this aren't you. I'll try again. Do you want to come back to my flat for intercourse?

STEVE:
Erm, yes please.

VARIATION 2 - the voyeur

JIM:
Saw some quality breaststroke and some excellent diving last night.

BOB:
Sounds like you had a better time than me. I spent four hours rebuilding my shed after the wife demolished it with her mobility scooter.

JIM:
Don't worry. It didn't end well. The pole vault was about to start, but the lady saw me watching her from across the road and shut her curtains. Got home, and the only thing on the bloody telly was the Olympics.

Postpone the trip to the pet food factory?

I'm afraid for me the innuendo is a little obvious and not quite sure the 'bedroom' idea is strong enough, even in the new formats.

Is there a different 'unveil' where one person thinks they are talking Olympics and the other thinks they are talking of something else? Sexual references just seem to have been done quite a bit before.

Thanks for reading them Stephen. In terms of the first sketch, I deliberately made the innuendo obvious, the twist being the bloke tries to do the same, but his double entendres aren't double entendres at all.
