OVER RIDING THE TRANSLATOR DAD REPLIES IN YOUTH SPEAK

DAD

BOYS LOOK SHOCKED

FRIEND

DAD
Safe

ENDS

Top notch, made me laugh out loud.
Safe Bro me crease me face

That's good and funny.

I think it's a little unclear who's translating in the last few lines though.

Very good.

I did like this one. I think the translator needs to translate both ways all the way through though -- that could be a good source of comedy.

Also the potential for a couple of sketches like this (with a bit more action -- him going to the shops with it or something) followed by a third with it malfunctioning (after spilling something on it) could be awesome.

I did enjoy the translations but I thought the dad speaking "youth" at the end was a bit obvious and I saw it coming a mile off.
