A couple of very short sketches

Here is a couple of short sketches I wrote last night, looking at them now they are kind of similar and perhaps the first one is not that original, but I enjoyed writing them, feedback would be appreciated.

"Arthur"

(solemnly)I regret to to be the one to inform you all but Arthur has hung himself (excited) up on hard work so he can finish and present the completed project this afternoon

FADE OUT

(solemnly)At 11.15 a.m today sadly Arthur was buried (excited) under a pile of work so he could have the presentation ready for you this afternoon

FADE OUT

(solemnly)I hate to say it but Arthur has been crucified (excited) by this article in the company newsletter

FADE OUT

(excited) Arthur Jones was found in the act of onanism, wearing ladies make up with an orange in his mouth...oh....dead....well there's no coming back from this one is there...

"Spanish drug addict"

"Mi nombre es John
y soy un drog adicto"

Group Leader (GL) "In english please John"

"My name is John and I am a drug addict
sorry but I can't speak spanish unless I am high"

GL "well you shouldn't be high at an addicts anonymous meeting"

John "What, I'm meant to be teaching a spanish class tonight....oh I did it again didn't I, that's Tuesday nights....well let's get on with this then....my name is John...."

The first one is nice, but I'm afraid it's been done a few times - I seem to recall "Family Guy" stretched the "sounds as though the doctor's going to say they're dead" routine out for about 5 minutes.

The second one doesn't quite make sense yet, but there could be something in it.

thanks Gappy, I had a feeling the first gag had been done before, the second is just meant to be a short skit about how a Spanish teacher keeps getting high and confusing the night he teaches (for which he has to be high) with the night he should be attending addicts anonymous, your right it needs more dialogue, although writing about it now I', m not sure if its funny anymore, isn't it weird how things can be so funny in your mind but not when on paper.

Would that Spanish teacher be you by any chance, Julio? (Yo vivo en EspaƱa)

Haha Beaky, well Julio is a character I created, but yes he would be an extension of Julio (or me), mucho gusto Beaky, donde vives en espana?

Malaga ciudad.

Que suerte! when can I come visit?!
