Not the parrot sketch.

A SURLY CUSTOMER ASSISSTANT IS BEHIND THE COUNTER OF A GENERIC PET SUPERMARKET.
A MAN OBVIOUSLY DRESSED LIKE JOHN CLEESE COMES IN WITH A CAGE WITH A DEAD PARROT IN IT.

MAN
Hello Miss.

ASSISSTANT
Piss off.

MAN
You're supposed to say I'm not a miss.

ASSISSTANT
Piss off.

MAN
This parrot I bought off you not 2 hours ago it's dead.

ASSISSTANT
Student are you? Bit of post modern ironic banter? Bet you've got one of your mates filming this for YouTube?

MAN
Service in this country you've got to complain till your...

ASSISSTANT
You're even getting the lines wrong. This is not the parrot sketch.

MAN
Too right it isn't.

ASSISSTANT
Eh?

MAN OPENS THE CAGE THE SLEEPING PARROT FLYS OUT AND ATTACKS THE ASSISSTANT.
MAN OPENS TILL AND HELPS HIMSELF

MAN
It's a robbery.

Oh yes! A great re-work. You dared to parody (parroty?) the Parrot Sketch and pull it off. Very clever & very funny!

What are you on? Can I have some?

Nicely done.

Brilliant sketch with a great ending.

I want some of that too sooty, whatever it is.

Soots, you are a continual revelation. Top. I thought I knew where it was going but you twist the end so well.

I hope all your detractors are forced to read this three times a day.

Nice one Soot. I thought this was very good!

Its different from your normal stuff, just straight, direct and funny.

Do more like this!!!

Ouch! I always I try to be straight to the point.

C'monthat's good clever shit! I enjoy the more random sketches of yours than the topical stuff.

*coughs*

Top work.

It's a yes from me.
You're through to the next round.

I think I wouldn't have released the parrot. When he said too right I would have just got him to take out a gun and say it's a robbery.

And perhaps the parrot should say 'it's a stick up'. I do need to get out more. This actually had me sat on the toilet thinking about it. Shit (so to speak).

I don't think there's enough laugh out loud moments along the way to justify paying for a CGI parrot.

There wasn't a CGI parrot in my head. Just a parrot. I liked it.
