Yob's Trust Sketch

Another little sketch...

MUSIC – SORROWFUL PIANO

CHARLIE: Hi, I'm Charlie and I live here at 'Yobs Trust' with my mate Gary.

GARY: Arite

CHARLIE: Sponsoring a Yob has never been so easy, from as little as £1 a week you can teach a yob that there's more to life than kicking trolleys and drinking cheap cider. Take Bianca, she was abandoned after her mum was chased out of Pound land by security.

F/X HURRIED FEET CRASHING OF SHELVES

SECURITY: Oi you! Come back here!

CHARLIE: She'd lost all hope but then a miracle happened, she was brought into us at 'Yobs Trust'. She was pale, comatose and 'up the duff'. Fortunately, here at 'Yobs Trust' we never put an antisocial Yob down – apparently that's against the law. We have an on going selection of social delinquents waiting to be sponsored.

F/X ROWDY TEENAGERS

CHARLIE: There are scruffy ones and huffy ones, spotty ones and potty ones. Whether they're high as kite or 'blinged' out in gold, young or old... we have the Yob for you!

(Continued)

By sponsoring a Yob not only will you receive up to date mug shots but also a monthly letter, subject to educational ability. So what are you waiting for? Call 0800 HUG A HOODIE and sponsor a Yob today.

'Yobs Trust' , 'up the duff'and 'hug a hoodie', etc., kills it for me. Why not just 'Youth Trust' - or even 'Prince Harry's Trust' - you could conjure up some laughs from that, bearing in mind Prince Harry's night-life history!

I think you should have Charlie and Gary doing their level best to use 'proppa' words and to be nice and polite, like. innit - but despite their efforts, their yobbishness shows through. That's where you'll get the comedy.

Good area for comedy, but agree with Morrace,

I liked this, I thought 'Yobs Trust' was fine as it appears to be a play on 'Dogs Trust'. I particularly like the 'monthly letter, subject to educational ability'.

Thanks for the feedback people :) Yeah Yobs trust was there to sound like Dogs trust.

The 'HUG A HOODIE' bit I didn't like but the rest of it was great. On to a winner in my opinion:)
