The Effects of Global Warming

TWO PENGUINS ARE HAVING A CHAT ON A SHEET OF ICE

Penguin 1:
So you're not worried about all this Global Warming then?

Penguin 2:
Not really mate.To be honest I look much more graceful in water than I do on land anyway.. always have

Penguin 1:
You're not really looking at the big picture, if the Icecaps continue to melt at their current rate then this time next year I guarantee that we are going to be inundated with Camera Crews

Penguin 2:
That's not a problem is it?

Penguin 1:
It is when we don't get any money for it! It'll be like March of the bleeding penguins all over again. Humans never give us our fair share.

Penguin 2:
Yeah we did get a bit screwed over on that, that's why I still have to do the Zoo work y'know just to make ends fish

Penguin 1:
Not only that but we've started getting Polar Bears down here looking for a piece of the action. Look at that one floating on that Block of Ice! "Stop posing, you're not fooling anyone!"

Penguin 2:
He should have stayed on the Mints, that's where the money was.

Penguin 1:
We need to let these humans know that they are not welcome here!

Penguin 2:
Between you & me, I don't think the Seals are helping much, all that applause.
If they could just slow it down enough to make it seem more sarcastic

Penguin 1:
I think the main problem is us to be honest mate. We're far too cute for our own good.

Penguin 1:
No wonder they love us! We could always try to be a bit meaner I suppose

THEY BOTH TRY TO LOOK MEAN & LOOK EVEN CUTER

Penguin 1:
Awww

Penguin 2:
Look at you!

Penguin 1:
Ok Ok That's not going to work Well in that case. we just need to make sure that when they do come next time that we get a fair deal. Get someone to negotiate properly

Penguin 2:
Oh really? Like you did with those Chocolate Biscuits eh?

Penguin 1:
You had to bring that up didn't you, sometimes you are such a p p p p p

Penguin 2:
Penguin

I like the p-p-p-punchline. The rest was not up to the highest Sunshine standard I'm afraid - a bit lacking in purpose. If it's about humans exploiting them, focus on that point and play it up further, I think.

I agree with Badge, and I don't think this line makes sense.

Surely, if anything, it should be "...to make fish meet".

To make fish ends meet?

I also agree with Badge. Good payoff, but the rest isn't up to much.

Fair enough
It's not very clear, or thought through really.

Cheers for reading.

Worth doing something with though - there are some very good lines in there.

I agree with Timbo, some great, funny lines in here. My favourite being this one

:)

Cheers Timbo & Ishy
I'll put this one back in the unfinished pile for the time being

Put it in Showcase Steve! :)

Laughing out loud

I can see this in my minds eye working well as an animation,a sort of pencil sketch cartoon type thing, Id chop it down a bit though. I like the reference to the 'Foxs Glacier mints' polar bear and the punch line is great.

Good one! Though you've kinda stolen Steve's thunder now. You should put your post in Showcase, it wouldn't make sense on it own, but it doesn't matter.

what get's posted in Showcase stays in Showcase!
