In the words of Manotvanni, I'll cry all the way to the bank.
Far as I'm concerned everything's funny, including rude words.
The punch is often, as in this case a way of changing pace to show the end of a sketch. Actually quite important, if you've ever actually watched an audience.
Shouldn't the punchline be the very last line? The current last line is:
Journalist
Na's? Oh Nazis.
I don't mean to get picky.
It's got more than one punch.
I am the octopus of skit comedy.

Well, I hope you keep your hectocotylus to yourself.
Quote: sootyj @ April 30 2008, 1:44 PM BSTI called him a c**t in the Treason show, and it received laughter, and applause. Perhaps I should be more specific?
A slimy, two faced, Blair wanna be, sexually ambiguous, creepy, probably want to rape your cat, face of how every thing's going to get worse, c**t?
C**t just seemed to be much neater.
Brown stinks, but is overall more wholesome. Hence he's an arsehole.
Haha the slimy etc comment was one of the funniest thing I've seen you write!
As for the "an arseholes more wholesome than a...", suggestion, as a woman I am deeply offended to have that part of me 1) thought of as less wholesome than an arsehole, and 2) (and more importantly) to be compared to that man. I'm sure you can agree 
How about calling Nick Clegg a prick. A faintly ridiculous looking pink, that jumps up when ever it gets excited, but collapses in to a wrinkly heap of skin in the face of a threat? Thinks it's impressive, but when he comes out in public, he's just an embarrassment people laugh at?
Galloway is an anal wart. He just is.
Galloway is a white-head ready to burst: defiant, dominant, angry, a blemish on the map of others' insecurities.
Haha! I shall never look at Clegg the same way again.
i think if you were doing standup and the audience was with you and you called mandela or mo molem a c**t you'd get a cheer.
I'm from newcastle and i don't think he's a c**t.
never voted for him but wouldn't mind if he got in.
Big on green down on iraq. Probably just trying to be popular but if that's what it takes.
Oh well to go veering off topic. It's when a really good interviewer gets there hands on him, he starts to fall apart. Improved services, lowered tax, but where's the money coming from. Inefficiency savings? Where are they going to be made? Targets, monitoring, and tendering to public companies? It's the mess Thatcher got us into, then Blair, then Brown.
I don't like Cameron cos he's like the kind of contender who wins the Apprentice. Sits back quietly and lets the big boys tear themselves to pieces. Then when they win, every one thinks ooh they are a bucket of crap, they just didn't really say anything.
That said Brown is a big wasteful disappointment, and having piddled in the sand pit of the Labour party. He ought to clear off, and let the grown ups clear up.
sootyj,
let's face it, you think Cameron's a c**t 'cos he's leader of the Tories.
If he was labour leader I'm sure he wouldn't seem half as bad.
Why do you expell your vitriol on subjects you plainly know very little about (based on your nonsensical rants)?
The word C**t is as funny as it is offensive and no matter who the target is it will always be so.
So, no, this isn't very good at all.
My some one is a bit sour. I think you'll find I spread my bile fairly evenly. I truly believe if one's serious about satire, you pick on every one equally.
It happens it was the Daily Mail, not the Guardian doing it's own little bit of rebranding. Making it about Brown would have just been nonsensical.
I voted for Ken, but still take pleasure in poking fun in his grumpy, drunken demeanour.
But seriously what's the beef?
n.b. can I just reiterate what ever I think of Cameron, I despise Brown. He's killing the Labour party, and he's a worse Thatcherite than Thatcher. Damn you PFI.
The only two decent politicians I'd vote for are that right wing rapper running for Mayor, and Red Ken.
A decent comedian shouldn't like any one.

I'm not sure calling someone you believe is a c**t.....a c**t, is very satirical is it?

Now that's funny!
I remember asking my Grandad, who lives in London, in 2000 who he was going to vote for in the mayoral elections and he said "Not that Livingston. He's a communist". He's old though, so he doesn't trust the communists, but hey, who does.
