Write a funny advert.

Stylo gave me an idea. Bless his cotton socks. So how about as a little exercise we all do a funny advert. It can be advertising anything you like.

I have not done mine yet so :P.

If this thread doesn't get any replies lets all do Stylo. It's all his fault.
Come on it will be fun.

I know we are all busy with this sitcom project and your own one's but hey sometimes it can give you all sorts of new ideas, and its good to take a wee break.

Huh? Wave

We all know nappies for grown-ups (especially the elderly) exist - so why not advertise them as much as the baby ones....

VOICE OVER
Not as dry as you should be?
Embarrassed by small dark patches on your clothing?
Why not try new 'Dampers'.

CUT TO VARIOUS SHOTS OF VERY OLD SAGGY BOTTOMS BEING PRESSED BY YOUNG FINGERS. WE HEAR THE OLD PEOPLE GIGGLING WHEN THEY GET TOUCHED.

VOICE OVER
New 'Dampers' - they even pass the 'kissable test'.

CUT TO VERY SAGGY BOTTOM BEING KISSED BY A YOUNG ADULT WHOSE FACE IS SCREWED UP IN DISGUST AT HAVING TO DO SO.

VOICE OVER
'Dampers' - we take the piss.

I don't do sketches but here is one:

WOMAN SAT TALKING TO THE CAMERA IN ONE OF THOSE COMPENSATION ADVERTS, WITH OCCASIONAL RECONSTRUCTIONS.

WOMAN: i was walking through the ware house, and every thing seemed quiet, this forklift truck drove backwards around the corner and hit me at some speed, it knocked me to the floor, the thought rushed through my head that i would have to take months off work and have to sue for compensation to make ends meet, i was carried to the hospital where a x-ray revealed what i was dreading, i had nothing wrong with me and i could keep on working, bollocks".

Product Shot of a tin of Baked Beans. Big booming voice over cockney gangster style.

V.O
Buy it!!

SITTING PRIME MINISTER ONLY
(a take on the Nationwide Building Society adverts)

TONY BLAIR AND GORDON BROWN ARE SITTING OPPOSITE EACH OTHER.

BLAIR:Fire away then Gordon.

BROWN:Well, Tony, I’ve been Chancellor for ages now and….

BLAIR:(ANIMATEDLY) Smashing!

BROWN:Yes, that’s right, and I’ve now decided that I want to be where you are.

BLAIR:Ah, well, that’s for a sitting Prime Minister only.

BROWN:Yes, I know, and that’s why and I want the keys to number 10.

BLAIR:Sorry, sitting Prime Minister only.

BROWN:But what about all those freebie holidays?

BLAIR:Sitting Prime Minister only.

BROWN:Or mixing it with all the Hollywood celebs.

BLAIR:Sitting Prime Minister only.

BROWN:Declare war on everyone?

BLAIR:Sitting prime Minister only.

BROWN:Well I’d like to try the Prime Minister's chair out for size.

BLAIR:What, this chair?

BROWN:Yes, that chair.

BLAIR:Sorry. Sitting Prime Ministers only.

BROWN:(TRY HARD TO KEEP CALM) But I only want to try it out for size!

BLAIR MOUTHS “FOR SITTING PRIME MINISTERS ONLY”.

BROWN:Oh this is ridiculous! I’m going to speak to the editor of The Sun.

BLAIR:He only speaks to the sitting Prime Minister.

BROWN:I’ll email.

BLAIR:Begins with ‘only’ and ends with ‘speaks to the sitting Prime Minister’.

BROWN:Super.

BLAIR:Fine.

BROWN:Great.

BLAIR:Sitting…..

BROWN:Wanker.

BLAIR:Prime Minister…..

BROWN:Bastard.

BLAIR:Only.

GORDON BROWN WALKS OFF IN A STROP.

V/O:Whether you’re a member of the cabinet or Gordon Brown, shouldn’t the Premiership be available to everyone in New Labour? Tony Blair, proud to be a git.

I encourage you to write more sketches Baumski.

I'm too tired to write a sketch today. But my idea for a funny advert would be a McDonalds advert being shot in one of their restaurants with a good-looking, slim family eating carrot sticks (or whatever token healthy food they put on the menu).

And then in the background a big fat family are trying to sit down to eat their burgers and you see a producer is trying to usher them out of the shot.

I have one more that i have taken from some stand up i did.

WOMAN IN SUIT: Hello, have you crippling debts?, and no way of paying these debts off?, then ring debt releif today.

WOMAN IN DEBT: i went to debt releif with a debt of £300,000 and told them i had recently been fired from my job and had no savings, they suggested one easy way to solve these debts in one easy step, and here is that easy step.

WOMAN IN DEBT, STEPS OFF OF A BRIDGE HOLDING A ROCK, WE HEAR A SPLASH.
