Inappropriate places to break wind

Writers note:

This really is a visual joke, it would depend heavily on the action. The task of writing it down in black and white most liely kills the joke but try and visualise it

Inappropriate places to break wind

FADE IN:

A man is up a ladder, only his waist downwards can be seen. He is hanging a sign up in a supermarket

A little old lady walks past man. A she walks next to him so his bottom is directly next to her head he farts loudly which badly startles her

I hope this is a typo. You mean 'ladder' right? As it stands that'd never get on TV! ha ha. Well, maybe it would in Sweden.

As for the actual sketch, a bit too juvenile for me.

LOL, yeah its meant to be ladder!!! Ill change that now

Haha! On the typo, there's a sketch in itself.

Yeah, I agree with Mark. If you took the same setup but changed it to something else other then farting, it might be pretty good.

lol, the only reason i got this idea is because it actually happened, years ago I worked as a sign writer at a big store and my collegue did exactly this, not on purpose but it still happened

What other inappriopiate things could one do up a ladder to inconveince passerbys

The main problem is it isn't enough.

Think in terms of a Lecture on Social Customs (or similar) as the framework, showing quickly on screen a few of such instances, eg, your ladder one and say a fireman farting in a fire and a diver farting in a decomprsssion chamber etc & then finish with a draw back from the screen & the lecturer farting and then the whole audience, rising like a footbal crowd WAVE as they are lifted by their farts.

Now THAT would be funny.

Being executed in a gas chamber?

Maybe a super dodgy, unfilmable Schindlers list gag........

Well it's hard to do it without turning into a shock-factor Little Britain style sketch. But the voice over and direction should be enough to move away from them.

Not sure exactly what you could do?
