VOX POPS

MIDDLE AGED WOMAN)
I never used to be any good at taking strangers home for meaningless sex, but that all changed the day I discovered Drugs n Shit.

YOUNG MAN)
It was always so difficult to get up in the morning after a big night on the piss. Then one day a friend suggested I gave Drugs n Shit a try, now I'm the first one up every day, with a rolled up fiver & a big smile on me face. Thank you Drugs n Shit.

YOUNG WOMAN)
I was so glad when I first heard about Drugs n Shit, other low quality drugs were turning me into a bit of a Crack Whore, but now thanks to Drugs n Shit I feel more like a Crack princess.

VOICEOVER:
So there you have it! Don't just take our word for it, Take some Drugs!

LITTLE GIRL:
Mummy Mummy, why are your teeth so soft?

MUMMY:
Oh darling, it's because I take lots of Drugs.

VOICEOVER:
Drugs n Shit - We make em - You take em.

I thought this was funny, Steve. I reckon, if filmed, you could do quite a lot with the idea.

Testimonials are always fun to write. Wanted more from the sketch though, needs a twist of some sort.

Very good indeed. Just the right length too. The only thing I can think of that would perhaps make this funnier would be if it were shot as a 1950's educational reel.

This is a great idea. Very funny. I like Bussells idea of setting it in the 50's but if you did I think you would have to change the name to maybe 'Drugs Inc' or something.

I like it. Some classic sunshine-isms in there like 'yes or no'. IMHO Bussell is right that this would be funny old-style but I don't think you should do that though because it would be too Harry Enfield.

Thought this was funny. Fairy liquid-style vox-pop was great. Don't know if it's because of the pilots from Armstrong and Miller, or because of that vox-pop, but I very much imagine "drugs n shit" being said in an upper-class accent.

Cheers all.

I think it was meant to be kind of Chirpy, like an advert for a juicemaker or something.
But serious & austere could work just as well.
The Company name was meant to be quiet incongruous with the style of the advert in any case.

Still think it works as you intend, I can hear it that way. As I said, I think it was mainly because I've heard other ones where they contrast "yoof" talk with posh voices. Might be better not to do the same.

Nice very nice but agree on the 50s jive.

Nice flow to this Steve. Easy to picture.

Really nice sketch. If I HAD to stick my big oar in though I would suggest that the second to last line needs a tweak and maybe lose the last VO and replace it with a title instead? I.E

MUMMY:
Just ask Drugs N Shit!
