Mivea - Pro Rapid Aging Cream Sketch

Youth #1 walks into a pub.

NARRATOR:When it comes to old age we think about deep wrinkles and pissing the bed, but what happens when you're too young?

He asks for a pint and is rejected.

NARRATOR: That's why 'Mivea' has introduced its new 'Pro Rapid Aging Cream' enriched with patented bioplexic flexi-metrodocixal quantum spheres… and twigs. Now you too can have that older, shrivelled look.

Youth #2 speaks towards the camera. Her parents are in the foreground.

YOUTH #2:I bought 'Pro Rapid Aging Cream' now I tell my parents when to go to bed.

She points upwards. Her parents get up and leave the room.

Youth #3 speaks towards camera,

YOUTH #3:Me? ID? How about kiss my arse.

Youth #2 pulls trousers down to reveal an old saggy arse.

NARRATOR:Voted product of the year, "10/10" "Furrow-tastic" say users. So what are waiting for? Buy 'Pro Rapid Aging Cream' today!

NARRATOR: (fast)Users 17 years and younger. Old age cannot be reversed.

NARRATOR:Why be old tomorrow, when you can be old today!

Youth #1 has an old face and full beard he picks up his pint, raises his glass and winks towards the camera.

I like this idea CKY88, it's funny.

Not sure about the "kiss my arse bit" though. I thought the bit when the girl sent her parents up to bed was good though and more in keeping with the benefits of the cream.

Can see plenty of scope for this along with add on products like voice enhancement cream, teeth yellowing and Just for Teens hair products for that distinguished look.

Thanks for the feedback James, I agree the 'kiss my arse' bit is not so good.

Nice. I like the idea and I like the "...and twigs" bit.

I agree with the 'arse' bit not being so good. Same for "furrow-tastic". Doesn't sit quite right for some reason - you could come up with something better in there.

Echoing Afink.

This is really excellent.

This line is a joy to read on here. Short AND funny:

YOUTH #2:I bought 'Pro Rapid Aging Cream' now I tell my parents when to go to bed.

The whole thing is a bit scrappy and you could probably lose the stuff after the disclaimer but this is really good.

Thanks all for the feedback, It was just a quick first draft idea but I will go back and make the necessary changes

Thought of this as a possibility instead of the whole arse gag then I remembered kids travel for free nowadays anyway :/

EXT.BUS STOP.DAY

BOY (16YRS) TALKS TOWARDS CAMERA.

BOY:After just three application I can ride the bus for free!

BUS LOWERS ITSELF AND HE STEPS ON.

hmmmm what are the possible pro's of being well old... Fish n chips OAP Special?

Yep, agree with what most of the others have said.

Very good and with a bit of tightening very very good.

I loved the and twigs after the "science bit"

Pension money
Pushing in at bus stops
People being more patient while you are are telling stories
People talking more loudly at you
Neighbour visits during the winter
Winter fuel money
Not having to visit the toilet when you need to go and others not minding as much
Becoming more right wing
Libraries
Grand Kids
Playing Father Christmas

Sorry, all probably very obvious thoughts!

Roodeye wrote a really nice sketch a while back, before he got banned, based on a '10 Years Younger' shop and people were going in and coming out younger and younger until a baby came out, kind of similar idea to this. Some nice lines but some not so nice lines, so will probably be improved greatly with a bit of editing.

Another possibility....

INT.BUS STOP.DAY

BOY: (TO CAMERA)After just three applications I felt full of wisdom.

He turns to an old lady sitting beside him.

BOY:A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

OLD LADYervert!

What you think?

Or should I just scrap it and just have one testimony?

PRODUCT SLOGAN:
Mivea 'Pro Rapid Aging Cream' adds wrinkles to winkles.

I liked this but echo the echo of it needing a bit more work. Idea is excellent and the sending of the parents to bed is brill.

The 'kiss my arse' bit might not be great but the ID thing is a good idea (ie being in a shop saying 'Don't you need to see my ID?' 'What for, Grandad?' and he winks at camera, beaming)

Dan

Thats a nice little idea maybe how they make you show ID when you buy scissors or a knife in a shop.
