Prison NJ Reject

Justin - "Virtual Prison" is not waiting for a girl you fancy to accept your friend request on facebook but is the governments new scheme that will allow judges to hand down tougher non-custodial punishments. This has affected an unlikely area - the remake of a classic sitcom

F/X prison doors slamming shut. Keys turning

Judge - Norman Stanley Fletcher, you have pleaded guilty to the charges brought by this court. I am imposing the minimum sentence - you will go to virtual prison

Norman - What does that mean?

Judge - Well we'll take your credit cards, so you'll have no money and you'll have to stay in the house for sixteen hours a day. Basically you'll be a student

Norman - So I'm not going to become a reluctant father figure to another likeable criminal with heart warming yet hilarious consequences?

Judge - Not unless you're planning a house share

Norman - If you let me go I'll just be back again

Judge - I'm sure you will. After all you are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts virtual imprisonment in the same casual manner.

Great line.

Couple of good lines but you did not land the punch, perhaps something like:

you are an habitual criminal, who accepts arrest as an occupational hazard, and presumably accepts watching daytime TV in a slanket in the same casual manner.

This is a great idea, but just spoof the beginning of the original using the judge's voiceover and end on the theme tune.

thanks dan. I was thinking of doing that but not sure of rules on theme music. I know they don't like using music because of hassle of copyright etc but beyond that no idea so I played it safe and avoided any music
