Nice Day Sketch

Int. Reception Area

Rich (32) is stood behind a counter. James (30) enters and walks up to the counter.

James: Hello there!

Rich: I BEG YOUR PARDON?!

James: I, uh, I said “Hello there!”.

Rich: OUR SWEET LORD JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US! HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT HIM?!

James: No, I think you’ve misunderstood. I was trying to-

Rich: A BOLLARD? WITH MY MOTHER?!

James: Sorry, I didn’t mean to-

Rich: YOU SICK BASTARD! HE’S MY BROTHER!

James: Look, is the company headquarters for ‘DEAF UK’?

Rich: I’m sorry?

James: I SAID “IS THIS THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS FOR DEAF UK?”.

Rich: No, that’s next door.

James: Where am I then?

Rich: Well where else do you come for nonsensical ranting?

Rich indicates to look upwards. The camera pans up to reveal a logo/sign which reads “CONSERVATIVE PARTY HEADQUARTERS”

ENDS

Reminded me of the Monty Python argument sketch for a bit and thought it was heading for a great punchline. But then I thought the Conservative Party punchline was just a bit cheap.

Although I love any jab at any Conservative party I think this sketch has potential to be even funnier if you gave it a different ending. Perhaps he asks "where am I then?" and Rich says something nonsensical and perhaps rude. James could walk outside annoyed and trying to get around a whole lot of the same people arguing with themselves in a crazy fashion. Arguing nonsensically about everything from sandwiches to religion. Perhaps then we could flash to a couple in the car and the one says to the other "Wake up were at the Conservative Party headquarters" and the other responds with a "No you're a dirty liberal!"

Good sketch, it is one of those which could have many different endings and you decided on the conservative party.

Good show.

Thought this was going to be a bit naff, but you made more of it and I quite like it. I'd get rid of "he's my brother", especially as it's jostling with the mother line, and change the ending a little so it's less artificially expository, something like this:

James: I SAID “IS THIS THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS FOR DEAF UK?”.

Rich: No, that’s next door.

James: So why all the nonsensical ranting?

Rich shrugs uncomprehendingly and hands James a flyer. The camera pans up to reveal a logo/sign which reads “CONSERVATIVE PARTY HEADQUARTERS”

I also think you could (possibly) make the "So why all the nonsensical ranting?" a bit funnier too, maybe get in that it's like they're talking a different language or something. I don't know. I liked it anyway.
