The First Haircut

INT. CAVE - DAY

Caveman1 walks in looking rather pleased with his new haircut.

Caveman1: What do you think?

Caveman2: About what?

Caveman1: Do you notice anything different?

Caveman2: I'm not sure?

Caveman1 flicks his hair.

Caveman2: Wow! Very nice.

Caveman1: I call it a haircut.

Caveman2: Lookin' good mate.

Caveman1: Well remember you are married.

Caveman2: What exactly are you suggesting?

Caveman1: I don't know, but I saw Caveman3 doing something very similar and it wasn't for me.

END

The ending didnt do it for me. But 3/4 good.

Cheers for the feedback.

I agree with Nigel on that one. I was smiling in anticipation as I love the concept but it didn't quite make it at the end. It's not far off, though, mate. I like it a lot. Pleased

To me it seemed as though it was going somewhere but stopped short of its potential. Also, the self-aware 'caveman 3' bit would only work on paper.

I have it in mind as a "bit" for a stand-up routine. I only wrote it as a sketch because I don't know how to note ideas down, yes, it's true lol.

Thanks for the feedback.

I liked the opening too but felt the ending wasn't strong enough. I'd consider an alternative ending.. one may come to you when you least expect it.. I contantly rewrite my stuff with the expectation that it might end up funny one day, perhaps by chance!
