4Laughs - Death competition entry

EXT. JUST INSIDE THE PEARLY GATES OF HEAVEN, LOTS OF CLOUDS, ANGELS ETC.

ALAN
Hello, welcome to Heaven.

DAVE
Thank you.

ALAN
How did you get here? Car?

DAVE
No, I was hit by a Bus.

ALAN
Ooh very cliched. I hope you were wearing clean underpants?

DAVE
I was actually, but it turned out to be fairly pointless.

ALAN
Why's that? Because you can't take your earthly possessions with you, no matter how clean they are?

DAVE
No. It's because when you see a Bus coming towards you at 40mph you tend to soil them anyway.

ALAN
Ewww!

DAVE
How about you? How did you die?

ALAN
Chuck Norris caught me in bed with his wife.

DAVE
Blimey! I bet that was painful.

ALAN
And the rest! Still, it makes for an interesting story.

DAVE
Wait a minute! If you committed adultery then how come you're here?

ALAN
Ah, a lot of people ask that question. Moses made a bit of a Cock up with the Ten Commandments. Apparently we were allowed five free passes each.

DAVE
No way!

ALAN
Yep, Moses is not very popular around here I can tell you!

DAVE
The bastard!

ALAN
I committed adultery four times, worshiped a false idol and I'm still in!

DAVE
Which false idol did you worship?

ALAN
My neighbours wife's bottom. So that was a two for one deal really.

DAVE
I've lived a good Christian life, I don't regret that. But I do feel slightly cheated now.

ALAN
That's perfectly normal, come on. I'll show you where Moses lives.

END.

A very understated and witty exchange between Dave and Alan.

Lol, loved the first joke. Nice on ShoePie.

Very good Liked it very Witty not explosion comedy "look at me I'm unicycling while juggling chainsaws in a feild full of small fluffy rabbits!" Very subtle natural Top stuff mate

Thanks for the comments! Witty eh? That's a first for me!! :)

It's hard to imagine what the best medium for this sketch is. It's definitely not animation, and i get the feeling it's funnier read than if it were performed!! Which is a bit of a stumbling block!!

Anyway thanks again!!! :) And if anyone can tell me where the apostrophes go on:

"neighbour's wife's bottom"

I'd apreciate it. Is it two apostrophes or one?

Well done, good sketch, nicly written and great characters.

Couldn't we stick this in the sitcom project? May fit in. Or are you putting it in to 4Laughs?

It could go in both, I will probably use it as one of my submissions to the TSP too. If we can find someone with a lounge that looks like Heaven!! And a bit of post-pro work.

Two. It's right as you've done it. Though you did spell 'appreciate' wrong ;-)

Like the sketch. It's witty and made me giggle.

The lack of action and a big 'juggling unicycling' ending means you're not going to appeal to the Channel 4 judges though! You know that, don't you?

(Our sense of humours are so different, I honestly don't think they even *read* mine!!)

Dan

Thanks, it looks a little odd to me with two apostrophes but thats probably because I've been doing it wrong all my life!!

Yeah I don't do that well on 4laughs. I'd still like to build on my 1 measly point some day though!! :)

Why would you want to put apostrophe's on your neighbour's wife's bottom?

Seems a bit strange to me.
