You eat fat bastards sketch

So I found the start of a sitcom I started to write ages ago deep inside my computer, I can't be arsed to go back to it, so I thought I'd see if it makes a good sketch on it's own?

INT. WHITE STUDIO

A DEPRESSED MAN SITS SLUMPED ON A STOOL AS ANOTHER MAN AND A WOMAN STAND EACH SIDE OF HIM LEANING OVER IN JUDGMENT.

MAN
You’re an idiot.

WOMAN
You’re ugly.

MAN
You’re fat.

WOMAN
You stink.

MAN
I hate you.

WOMAN
I hate you.

MAN AND WOMAN
We hate you.

DR. SMITH WALKS IN FRONT OF THE SCENE.

DR. SMITH
Hello, I’m Dr. Smith. I’m a life coach. Does this sound familiar? Well if it does, I’m here to help you and this loser sort his life out. I only have one day to help him, but I’m confident I can do it, you hear that fatty? Confident.

INT. FLAT - DAY

JOHN SITS ON HIS COUCH EATING SOME CRISPS AND WATCHING DR. SMITH ON THE TELEVISION.

DR. SMITH (O.S.)
Do you watch a lot of television?
(John shrugs his shoulders.)

Do you eat a lot of junk food?
(John puts his crisps down.)

Do you smell bad?
(John smells his armpit and reacts in disgust, he then runs his fingers through his hair.)

Is your hair greasy?
(John looks at his hand in disgust.)

If you answered yes, you are a loser.

JOHN
(Picks up the remote and switches channel.)
Piss off!

END

That's the way to treat them!

Bit of a disappointing ending. Felt a bit tired. I'm sure it could be livened up.

I like the sniffing of the armpits and rubbing it through his hair -- that was good!
