The Revolutionary Teen

This isn't snobbery, this is me last year before I understood the distinction between LA REVOLUTION! and socialism.

The Revolutionary Teen

A middle-class family is eating down to dinner. The teenage boy wears a Che Guevara T-shirt and a peaked cap with a hammer and sickle stitched to it.

Father
Pass the patatoes down, dear.

Teenage Revolutionary
Oh yes, I suppose you do expect the woman of the family to cater to your every need, you fascist!

*Pause*

Mother
Could you pass the salt please, dear.

Teenage Revolutionary
Do it yourself, nazi. I bet you'd like to bleed the workers while you preen yourself?

*Pause*

Mother
I thought that we could go to the seaside at the weekend...

Teenage Revolutionary
Oh shut up you..you f**king bourgeoisie pig!

*Pause*

*The Teenage Revolutionary drops his fork.*

Teenage Revolutionary
HOW CAN YOU ALL SIT IN SILENCE WHILE THE PROLETARIAT DIE?

I like it. Good work, mate.
I know a few people like this - and they're all male. How's that work then

I like this. There's huge scope for a series of sketches.

I'm not sure, but I think that most teenage revolutionaries are mainly interested in enforcing the maxin that 'skateboarding is not a crime'. It's good that there wasn't skating in eighteenth century France or the Ancien Regime would still be in power, but they'd have nardy ramps.

Could you explain it to Aaron then

I liked the concept but i felt that the boys lines had to be a bit more pompous. Sort of like Fraiser. Give and intellectual/philosophicla answer over something completely irrelevant. Something like 'Its just like the Capitalist Pig to try and surpress the common man with potatoes.' Just make the lines bigger and more exaggerated so the comedy is easier to spot. Vivian off The Young Ones is also a good character to emulate.

Yes very good Cin.

Yep, good. This would fit well into a script of 'Outnumbered' for that oldest boy kid (the one with the curly hair) to be the 'teenage revolutionary'

8 or 9 is the new 14 btw (just to update you..)
