Oops sorry head been out of newsjack game for some time.
Rise of the sketches from hell! Page 4
I like the injokey sketches on here
*Looks for Johnny Titter link
The sketch itself was fine & funny enough.
What came after wasn't.
And I'll accept my equal share of the blame for getting involved
Hey no problem.
It's the comedic equivalent of wrestling naked down the pub to settle arguments.
I don't get invited down the pub very often.
I am currently proposing suggestions for novelty Mitt Romney condom slogans.
My fave to date

You've clearly never been to my local!
Its funny SootyJ has highlighted something I've been struggling with this past week or so - I work a hell of a lot harder on NJ sketches/jokes than Treason/NR. Which goes back to me not putting stuff up in critique because I've "moved on" my work ethic needs to be changed and my catch phrase can no longer be "it'll do".
The odds between NR and NJ are radically different. At some times NR will have 30-40 writers and at other times as few as 10-15 factor in the fact you may be one of the most experienced writers at the time.
NJ is maybe 200-300 writers.
So odds are against you on NJ.

Thanks Stylee - classy 
But I don't think you know me well enough to pass judgement. So let's leave it at that.

No worries - you deserved it.

All I've got to go on is what people post (and then delete - classy), so..
Of course, there is also the complication that whenever an open submission show starts airing, negative criticism disappears. You'd think that some people might not like some parts of them, seeing as that's what's happened with every other thing throughout history.
I sniggered at 'minor smelling mistakes'. Had to wrack my brains for the Dana reference though! Was 2367 a random high-sounding number or do you actually know how many sketches you've written that involve a miner smelling steak?
Just to add my tuppenth, you do often do these sort of sketches but it really could be seen as directly bitchy by people who aren't used to your style, at a time when the boards have a lot of new posters tentatively and bravely sharing material- and is a bit cheeky from you as you were bemoaning the lack of material on critique!
Um, so, where would one purchase tickets for the Sooty-Sunshine Naked Pub Wrestling? 
Having rolled on the cobbles outside many a pub I would like to referee this bout. I have no idea where either contestant lives so may I suggest the car park outside Aston Villa's ground as it works for FA Cup semis.
If the fight goes ahead I suggest gawkers bring their own sandwiches as Birmingham cafes are badly managed and f**king stink.
I say this in order to upset brummie bap butterers in the hope of getting on the bill myself and having the chance to demonstrate my skill at scuttling opponents with the lesser known martial art of Scouse side swiping.
Well, this thread has taken a few funny turns since I opened the batting with some critique - critique that I'm happy to stand by even though it has been misinterpreted by some, including Sootyj who seems to consider it a personal slight. It's critique, folks! One opinion, and others have theirs. But I'm not going to let the fallout from one throwaway sketch spoil my general admiration for Sootyj's naked wrestling and I look forward to sharing some NQB time with him soon, when I hope we will attempt to reconstruct the hour-long stage direction from the sketch.
