Beach huts

Can anyone help? I'm thinking of a variety of visual gags based on beach huts. For instance, looking inside one, what might be funny to see?
Or if the camera panned along a line of two huts, and then the third was something unusual, what might it be?

Wasn't sure if this should be on writers' discussion or not.

It could be the Tardis and Doctor Who comes out in Bermuda shorts and sunglasses a towel underarm and Hard Evidence in his hand to read on the beach.

Yeah, or the third hut could just be a massive, blown up, standee version of Hard Evidence. Rolling eyes

Given how much beach huts sell for nowadays I would expect that they are filled with gold and diamonds.

But you could put anything inside them; an eskimo warming up, stoats dancing to drum 'n' bass, a Vincent Price look-alike in a wig staring at a lonely widow.

Yeah that would work very well too.

Or maybe something more subtle.

Is that what passes as a beach in your parts?

Thanks for all the helpful responses* so far.

Well my Tardis suggestion was alright.

And the thing about beaches is... (sighs I don't know, city folk, shakes head) that when the tide is right in there is no beach, and when the tide is out there is. :) In this pic as you can see it is high tide and it is in! :D

Sometimes, but not true down here in Brighton.
Yes, the Tardis was a good suggestion, thank you, and a quick Google brings up no results of it having already been done IRL. I wonder why?

Because I am a comedy genius. Unrecognised, but still.

Inside a brightly blue painted one, a couple of smurfs having a tea party.

I call my tumesent penis "Hard Evidence"

Is it a hard back or soft cover?

What about a group of power suited businessmen and women having a business meeting together with flip charts and pie graphs etc.

The next one the camera looks in and we see a paddling pool set up with people in it.

how about one with a brick wall inside

i think a bloody great pile of ashes would be more accurate,it's almost as bad as owning a holiday home in wales, down where I am.

Or could do workmen inside digging up the ground.

I was thinking perhaps the Queen in a recumbent position with legs akimbo, receiving oral pleasure from a corgi and reading Hard Evidence.
