A hospital staffed entirely by graduates from McDonald's' diploma school is experiencing some technical difficulties.

Hope you like.

Some really great lines in there :)

Nice idea, liked the googling line and supersize ones especially. Good stuff.

For the ending half expected the meltdown line to mention cheese somewhere

That was fun.

I have watched a couple of the Slag bros links on here recently.
And they are always of a good standard.
I did like the plaster on the face explanation, made me laugh.

So the one with the dreadlocks in the picture is Slag B, and you're the other one.
It's always nice to put the gas mask to the name.

Do you ever appear in the videos?

Thanks for the comments so far. Rob, the cheese line is a nice suggestion too.

Cheers. I never appear in the vids, terminal shyness and an inability to string together a coherent sentence in real life, let alone in front of a camera. I prefer the writing side.
:D

Made me laugh! Nice to SlagB playing it straight(ish), I think you should explore that more (from a safe distance, of course).

I'm sure I said before, but, outstanding lads!

Good stuff again.

I like a lot. The supersize with fries for the breast implants is genius. The Google line too.

Just one problem: is that Comic Sans? Come on, Slaggs, surely you know better!

:)

*Slags.

(sorry, you know what the rule-maker is like)

I believe Slaggs is the collective term.

I believe there was a name change when a big group of girls in Essex in tight, white skirts and no knickers threatened to sue...

Some nice gags there (I liked the doctor's deadpan "knee" line a lot) but like Rob0 I think you missed a trick with the ending. I thought "cheese" as soon as I head the word "melt".

I'd like to see you guys mess with the format a little, directing wise. Just about every video of yours I've seen uses the 'two guys in the frame talking back and forth' technique, and while it suits some sketches it can end up looking amateur in others. Have you tried shooting each character in CU (experimenting with some 'dirty' over the shoulder shots) then shooting the whole thing again in mid? It'll give you a lot more scope in the editing suite. You might want to try wrestling the cam off the tripod occassionally too - see if the handheld technique works for you.

PS. and for God's sake don't go spreading Comic Sans about! Graphic designers the world over are vomiting in displeasure.

Yes, I was quite surprised too by the Comic Sans.
