Cake car

INT. CAR FACTORY - DAY

LIKE THE SKODA ADVERT. A MAN ATTACHES THE JELLY HEADLIGHT. A WOMAN CLEANS THE ICING FROM AROUND THE MAKERS BADGE AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR. EVERYONE STANDS BACK TO APPRECIATE THE DESIGN. ROY THE GENERAL MANAGER WALKS UP LOOKING DISTRAUGHT.

ROY
What have you done? (WE NOW SEE THE FACTORY IS FULL OF CAKE CARS) You were only meant to make one for the advert!.

ALL THE WORKERS LOOK AT ONE ANOTHER LIKE 'OH SHIT'

END

It's a fantastic idea for a sketch but...

"You were only meant to make one for the advert!" is the biggest laugh/punchline and then the sketch carries on going. IMO either cut it there or have a funnier ending.

I like the idea maybe though have them doing saftey tests for the end, Just exploding cake.

Thanks, I've cut it.

Good sketch. Agree with cut, but could you have a beat of embarrassed silence at the end and a liquorice wheel rolling past which their gazes follow, shame-faced

Good suggestion :D

And if you wanted to make a cake car so you can film your work, I will help with the 'clean up' (nom)

Excellent short, but agree with the cut too. Cut the cake geddit?!! ;)

Comments about this being a brill sketch are right

As are the ones about it needing to finish at the reveal.

That is all.

Thanks for telling me what you all thought. Wave

You can't have your cake and panel beat it Corey.

Good one, Mark. Whistling nnocently

Few tiny points:

- Think the reveal needs to come after Roy finishes talking.

- Maybe at 1st Roy should appear to be happy with what the workers have done before shouting at them (e.g. "Wow, that's really great guys, but...").

- 'MAKERS' should be 'MAKER'S'.
