6,000,000 SHEKEL MAN

VO
Ariel Sharon Prime minister, warrior, was crippled by a freak Shwarma accident, well several Shwarma accidents. But we can rebuild him, stronger, bionic, possibly slightly smaller. Ariel Sharon is the 6,000,000 shekel man

GRAMS
The $ 6,000,000 theme tune plays.

VO
Meanwhile somewhere in the Middle lands UK.

BRIT1
Oh my Gosh the village will be flooded, and we might not be adequately insured.

BRIT2

Don’t worry the Israeli government has sent some one special to help us, there he is now.

BRIT1

Wow it’s the 6,000,000 shekel man, look he’s so bionic he’s running in slow motion.

BRIT2
No erm that’s just how fast he runs, he’s a pretty big guy.

BRIT1
He’s building an enormous wall all around the village we’re saved.

ENTER SHARON

SharonMy British friends my enormous wall has saved your village.

BRIT1

Hoorah, we can return home.

SHARON
May not be that easy, you could be working in collaboration with the flood water, helping smuggle it in a bit at a time, so you’ll need to get a pass and…

VO

Next week Ariel Sharon can Ariel Sharon defeat global warming by building an enormous wall somewhere.

an odditity i wrote for a jeiwsh stage show

Nice idea, Joel, but I feel sure I've seen it done before. Maybe with rupees?

yes that was the 6,000,000 ruipee man on goodness gracious me, i like to think the strucutre, punchline, and humor is diferent. it's a thin line between tribute and copy right theft, I like to think I walk that line

I quite like it...it would work well as a comic strip idea as well.

He doesn't need to be the 6million shekel man I suppose, he could be another type of superhero who solves problems by building walls.

Also Benjamin Netanyahu has a much funnier name, but obviously that would make it less accurate satire.

Perhaps next week you could have Hammas firing hundreds of Katyushas at a bloked drain.

or maybe yasser arab-hat a villain who has an uneding supply of gadget hats hidden under his kefiyah?

i chose sharon, as a big guy my self there is something rather funny about some one who is

Sharon Tate and her unborn child were murdered, she was stabbed sixteen times and that's not funny...

.....

erm are you suggesting that one can never joke about nay one called sharon ever?

i'd better give up my plans to change my name to manson, and open a chain of fmaily butchers

Class, Joel!
Really liked this.

I'd like to see you continue this theme, preferably with increasing cruelty towards Sharon. Maybe featuring a showdown between him and Arab-hat

this is good, would like to see it performed.
