British Comedy Guide

Is this the right forum for an argument

When I was reading through the replies of an earlier post, I thought they were worthy of a little sketch. I hope those involved don't mind me taking the liberty.

INTERNAL DAY - LIVING ROM - CARLOSMANWELLY IS SEATED AT THE COMPUTER, HE IS IN A FORUM CALLED BRITISH COMEDY GUIDE

CARLOS POSTS THE FOLLOWING IN THE CRITIQUE SECTION:

MOTHER AND 5 YEAR OLD SON SITTING ON THE SOFA WATCHING TV.

Son: Mammy, why can't aunty Delyth use her back door?

Mammy: I don't know boy, she hasn't told me anything is wrong with it, why do you ask?

Son: Because daddy told her yesterday that he wanted to smash her back doors in.

END OF POST

BEGINNING OF REPLIES:

Tursiops: That is an unnecessarily crude variant on a very old joke.

Carlosmanwelly: Thanks Tursiops, I think I know it is but I couldn't stop myself anyway

AngieBaby: I agree with Tursiops. Don't you have a twitter account for these types of jokes Carlos?

Carlos: I agree with you both, it was just an exercise, I do have a twitter account but there was to many characters for twitter.

Stephen Goodlad: An exercise in trimming excess fat would easily make it fit on twitter

Carlos: Thanks, I like twitter for that reason so I Just tried that and this is what I came up with :

Mammy why can't aunty may use her back door? I don't know she hasn't said anything why? cause daddy said he wants to smash her back doors in

AngieBaby: In future I would suggest you use critique for original jokes you want advice on improving, and use your twitter account for recycling other people's jokes.

Carlos: Thanks for the feedback I am writing out a hundred lines now. I must use critique for original jokes and use my twitter account for recycling other people's jokes.

AngieBaby: Why not try writing a 100 original jokes instead? Would be good practice.

Carlos: Thanks again AngieBaby, I get where your coming from and I appreciate your feedback. Can we stop now please.

StephenGoodlad: She's on the blob

AngieBaby: So that's why she's letting him smash her back doors in...Oh no, wait a minute.... your implying I'm on my period... I thought it was only female comedians who make jokes about that?

Carlos: I am not getting involved, but just let me know if this is the five minute argument or the full half hour, I can turn off my notifications if it is the full half hour. And it was all a big mistake, Aunty Delyth did actually lose her keys, there was nothing naughty going on.

NOT TO BE CONTINUED...

Tim Azure: I didn't like this, I was not in it.

(Nor was zooo, Aaron, David Smith, James Cotter, etc. etc.)

This sketch is BCGist.

Sorry Tim, you snooze you lose. Ben I do apologise

Carlos you're usually a charming poster with a wide range of entertaining low key skits and videos.

Seeing you're stuff is generally a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

You are currently typing like a troll with haemorroids whose off of his brain pills.

Are you ok?

This suggests that BCG is work...

There's not much character in the piece, if you want an argument...

Sooty, thank you for that it is nice of you to say so and notice. I like to reply to someone if they take the time to read my postings and also take the time to provide feedback, and I always say thanks, and am thankful.

This sketch is not having a go at anyone or anything seriously, it is an observation, some of the replies on here especially when people go for it, is comedy, (I come at it from all angles, I see a sketch in everything) because we all like writing, we are all probably over 40, there is a sitcom in this here forum, if you look at some of the replies and the characters behind them.

I am ok, and I apologise if I seem trollish, I don't mean to be, and thanks for giving me a nudge.

I don't think anybody has ever made a sitcom based around an internet forum (or if anyone would want to for that matter)But if they were to make one, this would be a good place to start, the scripts practically write themselves, and then the bits in between when someone posts something what they do, make a cup of tea, tell the wife, punch a bag, it's great.

There was a Radio sit com called (unfortunately) On The Blog, which was primarily made up of exchanges from various sites, such as social networking. Or at least, the episode I heard was.

Can I be Sooty's annoying neighbour? Or is that David Smith?

We sweat blood over these posts you know!

Thanks for the input guys, If this was a sitcom my favourite episode would have to be the Hunka wunda thread.

No.

Pretty sure there was a sitcom pilot about an internet forum; and I certainly remember seeing one in critique.

It's a rubbish idea. :)

And by the sounds of it not original either

I was thinking I can't have been the only one to see the humour in it, although I am odd

Drama is about people interacting in real life and exaggerated... an internet forum is the opposite of that. I'm sure a scientist could draw a graph or some such but I can't be arsed! :)
