Affectionate Sootyj Pastiche

DAVID CAMERON HAS AN AUDIENCE WITH BARONESS THATCHER.

THATCHER
Now, young David, I'm very pleased with your progress. You're making that George Brown look massively unpopular and old fashioned. Now that always worked for me, but times have changed.

CAMERON
Yeah, word, babe.

THATCHER
But if that Steve Miller Band becomes Labour leader, you're not going to be the young one anymore.

CAMERON
What?

THATCHER
We'll have to replace you with an eight-year-old.

CAMERON
Whaat! That's wack, Lady T. And what if Labour replace Miliband with a baby? What then, bitch, huh?

THATCHER
Then we'll replace the teenager with a foetus.

WILLIAM HAGUE WALKS ON

HAGUE
Ha! Ha! I win!

That's good in it's own right.

You going to send it some where?

n.b. call it copycat, and see if any one can guess who you are.

And besides I've been specialising in depressed Super heroes of late.

I do love Sooty's bits where it goes "so and so walks on" to deliver the punchline. Especially if it's a toff.

I do feel that some of these copycat things are a little cruel though, but I'm sure Sooty is fine with it. He seems thick skinned.

that Steve Miller Band

Who made that up?
Cos that's ace.

To be honest, it was only after I'd written it I thought, "Crumbs, I'm channelling sootyj." Then I cut out the scene with Mugabe buggering Robin the Boy Wonder.

Might give NewsRevue another go.

No idea, but it probably wasn't me.

Here here Zoo that's an ace punchline.

Are you my satirist or my Padawan?

Battyman and Robin?

That's no way for a comedy writer to talk!

I always wanted to write satiric porn film scripts.

Wish I'd said "Some Joker" now. Might file that under "Ace Rejoinders I Thought Of Ages Later."

You can't've been channelling soots, it's all spelt correctly. (Sorry sooty I couldn't resist )

Bizarrely enough I think I heard the Steve Miller Band joke on Newsnight - who says it's dumbing down? Still works though.

I like it - especially the Hague punchline.

Funny in very Sootyj sort of way.

The variant (for the older generation) is Glenn Miller Band.

Ahhh.
I've obviously lived in a box for the past few years.

Quote: Griff @ August 3 2008, 11:31 AM BST

Simon Hoggart also used to do a gag about the third Milliband brother Glenn.

And apart from the spelling, the sketch doesn't revolve around gay rape, bestiality or self-abuse, so it's definitely Sooty-lite.

The News of The World said far less about Mosley and got sued to buggery.

Why is it jsut as I change styles, is that every one turns on my old stylee.

I am the misunderstood Dr Horrible of skit writing.
