Binge

Binge 20/2/2008

Two guys standing on stage looking glum (Tim, and Pat).

Tim
All my mates at school have stabbed some one, but I’m to sensible.

Pat
I wish I could beat my wife, but I love her to much.

Walks on an advertiser

Advertiser
Then why not try new Binge, from the makers of Happy Slaps cider, and Pop you in the face alcopop.

Tim
But what’s in it?

Advertiser
It 50% neat vodka, 25% sugar, and 25% gorilla testosterone.

She hands them a bottle of brightly coloured fluid.

They drink and look at each other.

Tim and Pat
Are you looking at me, right then.

They brawl.

Advertiser
Listen to this celebrity endorsement.

Boris Johnson walks on.

Boris
After one bottle of binge, I was pissed I voted for my self, and shagged my own wife.

I like the concept of that sketch (not the drink obviously!!). Think it'd work really well.

Little bit confused as to why one is married and one is at school as I presumed they are mates.
Or is it for the interest of the advert that it shows the drink appeals to a wider demographic?
If that's the case then add another character or two and make one of those female.

And finally.....

Boris
After one bottle of binge, I was pissed, I voted for my self and had sex with someone from the North.

THE END

Yes the concept is cool.
A female is a good idea too.
Fine sketch Sootyj.

How about the wife beater being a woman?

Thanks for feedback.

Person from North could work, or maybe Ken Livingstone.

Ken and Boris getting jiggy, well thats my nightmares sorted for the week.

This is funny and could easily be part of a TV show.

I'd make two changes: change 'gorilla testosterone; to 'testosterone' and change Boris's line to "After one bottle of binge, I shagged my own wife".

Good stuff.

Imho, keep as is, very good. In my mind 'gorilla testosterone' is a comic combination.

Only thing that confused me was the direction: Walks on an advertiser.

I thought maybe someone stepped on a newspaper called the Advertiser, 'til the advertiser spoke. Not sure if that's the way to announce a stage entrance but:

An Advertiser enters.

is clearer in my mind.
