Builder Sketch

Another Idea i've just had. Dont know if this one works. Let me know please. Was thinking (if it works) that this could work as a running sketch.

TWO BUILDERS (BOTH COCKNEYS) ARE STANDING ON THE SCALFOLDING AND ARE TALKING. THEIR NEW BOSS IS WALKING OVER TO THEM. THEIR BOSS IS POSH AND IS WEARING A SUIT. ALL THREE MEN HAVE HARD HATS ON.

1st Builder
Yeah (LAUGHS) Look at her tits. (POINTS AT WOMAN WHO IS TALKING TO HER MATES IN THE STREET)

2nd Builder
Blimey! (LAUGHS)

1st Builder
I'd do her given half the chance. (LAUGHS) Anyway, shut up here's the boss. Talk about something clever. We want to impress him don't we?

Boss
Hi guys, what you talking about?

(2ND BUILDER LOOKS AT 1ST BUILDER)

1st Builder
Erm..... I was just saying to Keith, the overheads here must be rising with the delays that were suffering from. Wern't I Keith?

2nd Builder
What? Oh yeah.

Boss
Really?

1st Builder
(NODS) Yeah.

Boss
Wow, I'm impressed guys. But have you seen her? (POINTS AT SAME GIRL)

1st Builder
(LOOKS AT 2ND BUILDER) Yeah?

2nd Builder
Have we seen her? Of course we have. Have you seen the tits on her? (SHOUTS TO GIRL) Hey love get ya tits out!

1st Builder
(SMILES)

Boss
What? Stop that!

1st Builder
(SMILE DISAPPEARS) Yeah pack it in Keith.

2nd Builder
(LOOKS AT 1ST BUILDER AND THEN PUTS HANDS ON CHEST TO LOOK LIKE BOOBS) Massive tits.

Boss
Maybe (SHAKES HEAD) but Keith?

2nd Builder
What? This isn't the time for that? I know I'll stop.

Boss
No, that's my daughter. (WALKS OFF)

1st Builder
Well done Keith (TURNS AND STARTS TO WORK AGAIN)

Wait, didn't you write that cracking Lighter joke? How did this happen? This was just awful. A more obvious punchline hasn't been served up here in a long while. I hate you.

PS. I didn't think it was very good.

Fair enough David. I'll blame this on writing it while tired lol. Thanks for the feedback and this one is heading for the bin.

maybe work if it was the builder's daughter? i.e. the builders leer at first. then boss comes. they shut up. the boss, wanting to be in with the lads, starts to leer. reveal is the girl delivering her father's (builders) sandwiches. think that works better?

Agree with the other posters about it not quite working.

How about something like:

BUILDER 1
I offloaded most of my M&S stock last night. Put the money into BP instead.

BUILDER 2
Good move I reckon. Any of your oil companies are going to be making a killing over the next few years. Safe as houses.

BUILDER 1
Not one of ours!

POSH BOSS APROACHES

BOSS
I say, boys, have you seen the tits on her?

BUILDERS 1 & 2 SHAKE THEIR HEADS AND THE BOSS WALKS AWAY EMBARASSED.

Yes Steve, I was originally going to do that but changed my mind. I think i'll change it to that ending. Thanks for the feedback guys.
