Rise of the sketches from hell! Page 2

What is the purpose of this sketch? I was merely pointing out a certain irony about it. I haven't called you bitchy or implied you have a grudge. You have however called me morally devious and cowardly, and now guilty of character assassination. I give up!

Wow, I've never seen Sootyj being direct and serious, I may have to take a picture - or - remember that this is on the internet and not a fleeting moment. (Not a snide comment just being cheeky :) )

Anyway. I liked the sketch, calling a character 'Skirt' made me smile, it does parody and satirise all the NJ and KI posts nicely without, I thought, attacking them. Honestly one the best things I've seen Sootyj write sketch wise. I liked it. Though I do see where Badge is coming from but to me this sketch is just wimsy.

Like all my sketches to amuse pure and simple.

if it includes a single passing topical remark on BCG then so be it.

Periodically you do seem to feel the need to in an unamusing and unironic manner lay into me.

I wish I knew why.

What did I do?! :O

eh?

I was doing that funny thing you can do in conversations (but apparently doesn't work on forums) where you cut into a conversation pretending it's all about you - you posted after my post to Badge and I pretended it was at me - ha ha - just trying to lighten the mood but that might be misplaced

lighten away lighten away

nb did you ever hear from Margaret?

Yeah, she's broken her foot so is out of action for a little while. Happened just after the Fringe.

f**k sticks I'll wish her well

It's ok I suppose but I can't see it getting onto NJ or KI. Also, the direction for them to laugh for an hour is hardly realistic now is it?

I don't know. I'd settle for an hour of laughter in the KI show. Thanks for submitting, we'll take it under consideration. By the way, you missed KI: in the title but our script eds can take care of that :)

And that makes it even more surreal than Kall's stuff... ;)

Is it bitchy? I was merely making fun of 1970s dystopian scifi shows with their limited budgets. And issues of nascent sexual politics.

More a cheery satire on both Doomwatch and UNIT era Dr Who.

Though it does remind me of how I used to stick all my topical skits in one thread.

Dana is becoming a powerful force in eurosceptic, conservative politic in Ireland.

She's positively international since 1998.

I'm not sure why this got quite so snappy but reading it I would believe it was about KI/NJ

Set up - there's a mystery invasion
3 instances of what it might be
& then the KI/NJ line is the reveal.

If it was just a throwaway funny line and not the point of the skletch then it may have been in the wrong place.

But that's just how I read it.

Im more than a little sad at thw tetchiness of the ki krew at what was no morw rhan than a passing gag. I joke at most passong trends most often myself but also podfasts what ever. And generalgly people take it in the tone intnded but yo guys seem to have thinner skins and a higher sense of entitlement. Where do you get that fom?
