Chavs Bedsit skit

POKEY BEDSIT. DAY.

A TEENAGE CHAV COUPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAVING NO MONEY AND NOT BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THAT WEEKS RENT.

TRACY: Bloody 'ell, Wayne! What are we gonna tell the landlord? We can't hide under the bed again - all your comics are under there.

THERE'S A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.

WAYNE: (WHISPERING) Uh-oh. Let's keep schtum and pretend we're out.

THE LANDLORD THUMPS ON THE DOOR HARDER.

LANDLORD: Come on! I know you're in there - I can smell the weed!

WAYNE: Hey, I had a baff on Tuesday you cheeky...Ow!

TRACY HITS WAYNE FOR GIVING THE GAME AWAY. WAYNE GOES AND ANSWERS THE DOOR.

WAYNE: Oh, hello Mr Landlord. How nice of yer to visit.

LANDLORD: Don't gimme that - where's the rent, boy?

WAYNE: He lives upstairs but if it helps clear the arrears I'll try anything.

WAYNE TURNS ROUND DROPS HIS TROUSERS SHOWING HIS ARSE. THE LANDLORD AT FIRST LOOKS SURPRISED AND THEN STARTS UNBUCKLING HIS BELT.

END

I thought there would be more to it than that, I thought you might just make a punchline on the situation of them being chavs ect.

didn't do much for me...

Don't see what it has with them being chavs either. They just seem poor.

Cool name though and i have to say that the landlord had extremly soft hands and was very gentle.

Typical! When I try and restrict the ramble it's too short! I'm not too disheartened as I starting writing it about 15 minutes before I posted. It was all about fitting a sketch around the 'where's the rent, boy?'/'where's the rentboy?' line.

C- Must try harder!

Drop the last line and it's a good un!

I could see it coming - so to speak - but still funny.

It's good, but you could reduce it to the where's the rent boy interaction, and it would still work.

Seems too contrived. Also, Phantasm aside, boy is very rarely used in the singular form as a greeting. He could say where's the rent, boys and it would sound better, but it's still just a weak joke about students being smelly and smoking weed with a rent boy jibe tacked on.

Landlord: Where's the rent boy?

Wayne: You're too early. He'll be home at three.

And chav stuff is a bit 2002.

I'd say it was more 2003/2004.

Victoria Wood was on Radio 5 the other day and one of the presenters mentioned that she was the first comic to come up with a chav character along the lines of 'Yeah, but no, but'.
