Zombie cliches

BIFF AND JEN ARE COWERING IN A BOARDED UP BUILDING

BIFF
When hell is full the dead will walk the earth!

JEN
Except they're not walking, they seem to be hopping.

OOV ZOMBIE
Euuurrgghh! Wheeeeee! Euurrrggghhh! Wheee!

BIFF
Look at them go. They can hop 5 meters up, I mean granted they don't move very forward but you couldn't hide up a tree or anything.

DENZIL STAGGERS IN THROUGH A HOLE IN THE WALL HE HAS A MOP WITH A RUBBER GLOVE ON THE END THE FOREFINGER OF WHICH IS FILLED SO IT STICKS OUT

DENZIL
I can't believe, fellow humans. Oh thank the Lord I thought I was the last human.

JEN
Hey I'm Jen, what the hell is that stick for?

DENZIL
Aha I found their weakness, their achille's heel the chink through which we will win.

DEN
It's their brains isn't it?

DENZIL
No. It's their bottoms. A quick poke up the chuff and they finally damn die. Damn them all! Damn them back to hell!

JEN
But that's not much help, I mean how can 3 of us hold off that whole hord?

OOV ZOMBIES
Euuurrggghh! Bottoms! Euurrggghh! Wheee!

DEN
Oh it's over, it's hopeless.

JEN
Oh Den.

DENZIL
Is it? Have you seen where we're hiding out?

THEY LOOK AND SEE THEY'RE HIDING IN A MALL A SIGB READS "Atkinson's world of trampolines and extremely pointy stick warehouse, for all your pointy stick and trampoline needs."

JEN
And the skylights open!

There was some nice visual stuff in this although maybe if there was a reason as to why the zombies were hopping it may have made more sense.

They're hopping mad!

More I'm trying to have some fun with all the zombie stuff out there at the moment and how they all have to do have a little tweak on a cliched idea.

So I thought hopping zombies with sensitive bottoms?

Fun?

No?

Sod you then, I'm on pills for me nerves.

Ah well, fair play to you for trying a different angle.

Personally, I'd like to see zombies wearing high-visiblity clothing as they are hazardous to us humans.

Write that skit!

Soots. This sketch was well imagined, somewhat well written and a bit odd.
