Some money please.
Beg 'pardon?
To be honest, I don't geddit?
I like it now! To be honest, I found the early ones groan inducing rather than funny but this makes me laugh now. Well done -it's got legs!
Leave 'em laughing - not confused.
Hehe -- made me laugh, anyway.
But I'm strange...

I thought this would combine the twist with something a bit surreal. After four other sketches that basically have the same format, it just combined some of the observations made by others in the group to give an unexpected outcome. I wouldn't expect anybody to get it who hadn't been aware of the previous sketches.
Just me being silly.
Thanks for reading
Disappointed. The only twists here are being overly self-referential and not being funny. Neither worked for me I'm afraid.
But I still think there is something in this set up as a running gag. Keep at it and you might find it.
