Cheeky Monkey On Board


SCENE 1. EXT. OUTSIDE OF A CAR - DAY

WE SEE THE REAR WINDOW OF A CAR, IN IT THERE IS A STICKER SAYING “CHEEKY MONKEY ON BOARD”.

CUT TO:

SCENE 2. INT. INSIDE OF THE CAR - DAY

WE SEE A MAN IN A MONKEY COSTUME DRIVING THE CAR, BOTH HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND A FAG IN HIS MOUTH.

OUT OF VISION WE HEAR A SCREECH THEN A CAR HORN.

THE MONKEY TAKES THE CIGARETTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH.

MONKEY:
Whore!

END OF SKETCH

Enjoyed this. Nicely laid out, well written directions.

In the context of a sketch show, I think everyone will anticipate Scene 2.
Also, he's not very cheeky. Perhaps he could show his red arse.

Best.

It's difficult to get a laugh with the word 'whore' because it's such a dreadfully offensive name to call a woman.

The 'Cheeky Monkey' might be funnier if, instead of the above Scene 2, we DON'T immediately see the man in the monkey suit. Instead, we see the car pull over to the kerb, the driver beckons to a woman pedestrian and as she leans down to the window, we THEN see the man in the monkey suit smile and say to her . . . "Nice tits".
