2 new topicals from the house of Sootyj

I'm a tad out of practise do your worst!

THE GREEN CROSS CODE MAN IS ADRESSING THE AUDIENCE.

GREENCROSS
Hello I'm David Prowse and this is a refresher on your highway code. I used to be Darth Vader.
1 Always observe the speed limit, 2 always adjust your mirror and 3 never run against Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe.

ROBERT MUGABE WALKS ON.

ROBERT MUGABE
Or you'll have an accident. Next week how voting for opposition powers can give you cholera and a broken arm.

2 WHITE HOUSE ADVISERS ARE TALKING.

WH1
Help help oh God I've made such a mistake. I've mixed up Barrack's diary.

WH2
Shh calm down let's have a look at his diary. 8am plan new strategy for Pakistan.

WH1
Oh we did that tippex out all mention of Iraq and Afghanistan in Bush's old speeches and replace with Pakistan.

WH2
9am prepare speech on how the economy is getting better and there is still hope.

WH1
Yes it only took a gram of cocaine this morning to actually get him to smile.

WH2
Oh this is the problem one. 11am tell Gordon Brown to piss off he can sort his own mess out. 12pm visit home for the mentally ill and cheer up a delusional manic depressive.

WH1
Did I get it the wrong way round?

GORDON BROWN WALKS ON SMILING

GB
Jings and crivens the special relationship is back me and Barrack against the world!

WH2
Great Barracks going to have us collecting his dogs plops for the next year.

WH1
Could be worse you could be the UK chancellor.

WH1
No one should have to take that much shit.

Liked the first one, especially Mugabe's line. Not so sure of the second.

Agree with Ponderer - First one is great.

Second one doesn't quite work for me. Although did like tell Gordon Brown to piss off and sort his own mess out!

Echo the above. I'd have Mugabe push Prowse out the way and Prowse shout dejectedly "I used to be Darth Vader, you know." rather than interject it into the centre of his intro, where it appears more random than natural.

Second - some nice lines but not as strong. But at least there's some more material from the Sootsmeister.

Second one not brilliant.

First one excellent. I don't even think you need Mugabe -- it's a great one-liner.

Thanks for the feedback people. You're right the second one does suck I'm out of practise, I may go off and work on it.

I do like the idea that the reason Barack is so upbeat is cocaine and he doesn't actually know who Gordy is.

In agreement with above comments. First one was top, but couldn't really get my head around the second

No-one's quite said it but... second one was pants :)

First one was v good, though, which is only 16.7% behind Meatloaf. I agree with SlagA that you waste the Darth Vadar line as a random element when it could get much more later on as a genuine part of the sketch.
