Gordon Brown The Copycat (a Cameron Sketch)

GORDON BROWN THE COPYCAT
by Mikey J

INT. DAVID CAMERON'S PLACE. DAY.

DAVID CAMERON AND WILLIAM HAGUE ARE SITTING IN CHAIRS, READING NEWSPAPERS.

DAVID CAMERON:
I say, Hague. This is getting bloody ridiculous.

WILLIAM HAGUE:
What is, David? Our chances of winning the next election?

DAVID CAMERON:
No, you idiot. Bloody Gordon Brown. It says here that he's going to be clamping down on people claiming benefit, and get most of them back to work.

WILLIAM HAGUE:
Sounds good to me, David.

DAVID CAMERON:
For f**k sake! Can't you see? That was our policy! We pledged that we'd do that if we got in office, and now he's gone and bloody nicked it! Bastard!

WILLIAM HAGUE:
Yes, but be fair, David. We did originally steal that one from the Lib Dems.

DAVID CAMERON:
I don't give a f**k! It was our policy when Brown nicked it. Bloody Brown nicks all our good stuff.

WILLIAM HAGUE:
When we think up the next good policy, why don't we just keep quiet about it? That way, he won't know about it.

DAVID CAMERON:
But nor will the public. They'll think we haven't got any decent policies and won't vote for us.

WILLIAM HAGUE:
But we haven't got any decent policies.

DAVID CAMERON:
No, not now, because Brown keeps f**king nicking them!

WILLIAM SPOTS SOMETHING IN THE NEWSPAPER.

WILLIAM HAGUE:
Oh, David. There's a headline about Brown in this paper. It says here that he now travels to work every day on a bicycle. There's a picture of him here too. Look.

DAVID GRABS THE NEWSPAPER.

DAVID CAMERON:
Let me see it, let me see it! (SHOCKED) What a bastard! He's copying me again by pretending to be green and… hey! Wait a minute! Bastard! That's my bike! That's my f**king bike!

WILLIAM HAGUE:
Surely, you're joking.

DAVID CAMERON:
Hague! Do I look as if I'm going to bloody tell you about a f**king Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman?

WILLIAM HAGUE:
No, David.

DAVID CAMERON:
Well, then. Shut up, you bald tosser. (THEN SIGHS) Is there nothing that Brown won't copy off us?

A NEWSREADER THEN APPEARS ON THE TV SCREEN. DAVID AND WILLIAM WATCH.

FEMALE NEWSREADER:
And news just in. Gordon Brown has now changed the name of his political party. It is now called New Conservatives.

DAVID CAMERON AND WILLIAM HAGUE:
Oh, what a c*nt!

END.

It's a good skit (I also did one on Brown nicking Cameron's bike, great minds!)

and a good idea.

The punchline could be strengthened though.

Also it's a bit long.

End the sketch with Cameron's bike line and this one's a winner:)

Well Sofa's right, thats a good ending.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, you're right... it SHOULD have ended at the bike bit. Rolling eyes

I just wanted Brown to copy the ultimate Conservative thing, i.e. the name ...

...and I guess I just wanted to end it on the c-word shock factor.

As others have remarked:

The sketch is good, but I'm not sure about the punchline.

Yeah, I definitely should have cut it at the bike line.

OOOOOOOHHHH the shame! :S

:P

Er, the bike line.

Sorry, this bit:

DAVID CAMERON:
Let me see it, let me see it! (SHOCKED) What a bastard! He's copying me again by pretending to be green and… hey! Wait a minute! Bastard! That's my bike! That's my f**king bike!

I did some skits ages ago about Cameron fancying Thatcherm, but Brown was actually shagging her.

Too disturbing to be produced by any one.

*shuddeRs!*

poor Thatcher! :P
