Protest

3 PROTESTORS ARE STANDING AROUND MISERABLY

PROTESTOR1

I can't believe so few people turned upto protest about Bush, and the Iraq war.

PROTESTOR2

Damn is this what the protest was about. I thought it was for drinking, shagging, and urinating on the Circle line, I'm off.

PROTESTOR2 STORMS OFF CHANTING.

Oi oi Bozzer Jay, will not take our booze away.

PROTESTOR3

And I thought this protest was for Big Brother. Apparently some one said something racist, whilst flashing their tits at the camera. I'm off.

PROTESTOR 3 STORMS OFF

DAVID DAVIS WALKS ON

DAVID

Hello I'm David Davis, can I help out. I've got morals don't you know.

PROTESTOR

Well that's all we need.

AND WANDERS OFF.

DAVID

Erm down with bad stuff, yeh, erm right now.

mmmmmmmm. Think this one should have stayed in the 'do not post' pile. :/

It's a bit crude granted, but I rather liked it.

Maybe it needs more swearing, or obsenity?

Perhaps if David Davis had no pants on?

How would David Davis with no pants on, improve this sketch? You've obviously being doing this longer, with far greater success than myself Sootyj, but I don't understand.

Whats the point of using topical characters if the content within the sketch doesn't pertain to the subject matter that made them topical?

Was jsut messing around, lets leave Dave's pants on.

Too be honest it's more of what I call a shout out. Where the characters fire off hot buttons issues, in an inappropriate setting.

The laughs it get are more to do with recognition, than clever construction.

That said it's pretty lazy.

As for David Davis. I quite like the idea of that pompous ass wandering the country randomly taking part in protests, where he jsut wasn't very welcome.

Right I'm off too. There was a certain masochistic pleasure in forcing myself to endure this drivel, but now it's just boring. I can't bear the thought of another sketch that includes the line "hello, I'm Boris J/Tony Blair/Gordon Brown/GWBush" etc etc etc. So I'll leave you guys to it, and I'll see you at the Edingburgh Fringe.....my favourites list needed a clear up anyway.

You know I wouldn't mind the hard core criticism, if this wasn't the very model of a sale-able NR/TS skit. Short, obvious, introduces the subject, 3-4 gags leading to a definitive punchline.

I actually quite like this! The circle line and big brother lines raised a smile.

Now that I can go with Griff.

How about

I was in the pretend SAS for 10 years, now I'm a pretend protestor. Down with 42 days up with 42 inch tits.
