A very silly sketch.

HOW HITLER GOT HIS TASH.

1. INT. HITLER'S PRIVATE BATHROOM. DAY.

ADOLPH IS LATHERING UP HIS FACE AND LOOKING IN THE MIRROR. HE HAS A LARGE, IMPRESSIVE MOUSTACHE. HE BEGINS TO SHAVE HIS FACE, CAREFULLY AVOIDING HIS BEAUTIFUL 'TACHE.

THERE'S A SUDDEN LOUD KNOCK AT THE DOOR AND HITLER JUMPS, SLICING A SMALL PART OF HIS MOUSTACHE OFF ON THE LEFT.

HITLER:
Gott in Himmell… yes, what is it?

GEORRING: (OOV)
Herr Hitler, the foreign ambassadors are here. We are ready to begin the peace talks.

HITLER:
Coming, just freshening up!

HE EXAMINES HIS LOPSIDED TASH.

HITLER:
Damn. Better even it out.

HE QUICKLY BEGINS SHAVING THE OTHER SIDE TO EVEN IT OUT. THERE'S ANOTHER KNOCK AT THE DOOR. HITLER JUMPS AGAIN AND SLICES MORE OFF HIS TASH THAN HE INTENDED.

HITLER:
Jesus…

GOERRING: (OOV)
Will you be much longer, Fuhrer? The peace talks cannot continue without your wise and serene counsel.

HITLER:
I said I'll be there in a second, okay?

GETTING INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED, HE BEGINS TO EVEN OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF HIS TASH. IT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT.

HITLER:
Oh no, look at the state of that…

HE QUICKLY TRIES THE OTHER SIDE BUT IT JUST MAKES IT WORSE.

HITLER:
Oh for f.…

CUT TO:

2. INT. HITLER'S WAR ROOM. DAY.

HERR GOERRING AND A FEW OTHER NAZI OFFICERS ARE ASSEMBLED. HITLER WALKS OUT OF THE BATHROOM DOOR WITH HIS RIDICULOUS TINY MOUSTACHE.

EVERYONE STARTS TO LAUGH AND POINT. GOERRING PUTS A COMB END BENEATH HIS NOSE AND SALUTES.

HITLER:
(RAGING) Right, f**k the peace talks! Just for that I'm invading Poland!

It will perhaps be difficult at the start of the sketch to realise that the person is Hitler.

I thought it was very funny although a touch predictable. I'm sure I've seen a similar shaving incident miss-hap type sketch before. The 'just for that I'm invading Poland' line made me laugh out loud.

Nice one! Laughing out loud

Just a slight ajustment IMO:

HITLER:
(RAGING) Right, f**k you and f**k the peace talks! (HE GRABS A MAP AND POINTS ON IT) Right - where's f**kin' Poland?!

Lovely uncontrived silliness. I liked it.

I read this the other day and meant to say 'nice one'. Enjoyed much-lee.
:)

I like it, and yeah it's predictable, but not in a bad way. It did make me laugh Hitler saying oh for f...

and f**k the peace talks.
Very good. I' don't really think it would be hard to show it was hitler, if he's dressed as a nazi, or if the sketch starts with him opening a letter addressed to him, or even if someone calls him hitler. anyway it's also funny if you don't realise it's Hitler straight away.
