Another 3 silent visual skits.

12 A TEACHER IS TAKING A CLASS HE, STOPS AND POINTS AT ONE PARTICULARLY QUIET LOOKING BOY, AND BECKONS FOR HIM TO COME CLOSER. HE DOES, AND THE TEACHER HANDS HIM A BUCKET, AND A TROWEL.

THE BOY BEGINS TO CRY.

WE SEE FROM THE WAIST DOWN HE IS A CENTAUR, WITH THE FOUR LEGS OF A HORSE.

HE SADLY RETURNS TO HIS DESK WHERE THERE IS A BIG PILE OF HORSE POO ON THE FLOOR.

13 A MAN IN A SUIT, WITH UNION JACK WAIST COAT, IS WAVING A FINGER AT THE AUDIENCE.

HE TURNS TO A FLIP CHART, AND TURNS OVER THE FIRST PAGE.

THERE IS A PICTURE OF A WOMAN, A WOMAN IN A BURKA AND A QUESTION MARK.

A WOMAN WITH A BURKA WALKS ON. HE WHIPS IT OFF OF HER.

UNDERNEATH ARE 2 MIDGET NINJAS, THEY CHASE HIM OFF WITH NUNCHAKS.

14 A SMALL BOY IS WATCHING A CIRCUS WITH HIS DAD, A CLOWN COMES ON AND HE BEGINS TO CRY.

LATER THE RINGMASTER LEADS HIM BACK STAGE, THE CLOWN IS THERE WITH A BUCKET OF SOAPY WATER, HE STARTS TO WASH HIS FACE.

THEN HE RAISES HIS FACE, AND HIS MAKE UP IS STILL THERE.

THE BOY TURNS, AND SEE'S HIS FATHER AND THE RING MASTER WASHING THEIR FACES, UNDER THEIR HUMAN SKIN IS CLOWN MAKE UP

HE TURNS TO RUN BUT THE CIRCUS MASTER SITS HIM IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR IN A TIGHT EMBRACE

HE SHUTS HIS EYES, BUT HIS FATHER PULLS BACK HIS EYE LIDS.

THE CLOWN DESCENDS ON HIM WITH A FLANNEL, THE BOY SCREAMS IN TERROR

13 was bizarre but I liked it. The other ones weren't as appealing to me.

I liked 14.

But it was scary rather than funny.

A bit League-ified. Like when Papa Lazarou was putting his human makeup over his black and white face. Which is an awesome scene.
