A silly Spoof

I'm writing this as I go...

VOICE:

I am my mother, I am my father, I am my two sisters, and my older brother Charlie. I am the priest who violated me, I am the bruises on my back. I am who I am...because of the Catholic Church. Not Orange.

*Too much?

....well it made me laugh!

Blimey, Kimmers, you're keen. You only had it up for an hour.

Er, good. "Buggered", rather than "violated" perhaps?

I like it!

I don't know if it needs the 'not Orange' at the end.
Although of course you want people to know what you're spoofing.

It did for me - I had no idea what was being spoofed.

Then again, I don't even use mobiles.

It could be used for Childline.

For what it is worth I tend to go for the violated rather than the buggered but agree with zoo perhaps the Orange ending is not needed.

As I have been told a few times on here, the Spoof should be strong enough not to have to explain your target.

For what it's worth, I think it's definitely needs the "Not Orange" line. It's the whole point of the sketch. You know, Catholic not Orange.

Maybe you have to be Scottish, or from Ulster, or Liverpool?

Ohhhhh, I didn't see that reference at all.

yeah Orange is a religious reference, sorry!

(sorry its not that im keen, its just that I panick after a while if no one has written anything! thinking nooo its crap -DELETE!!!)

Don't feel bad - I just imagine people are working on their own stuff or - given it's past midnight - asleep.

That's what I tell myself when no one wants to break the news to me about my poor old Radiohead songs Errr

Oh, and please don't delete it. I thought it was pretty good, was staring at one of those bloody adverts on the tube today and am glad someone did a good, clever spoof of it!!

Very good, just lose the word not.

Sootyj, the "Not Orange" is the whole point. Kim, tell him.

It over eggs a perfectly good punchline.

Or would you prefer a version of the Parrot Sketch, where John Cleese says and I'm being ironic.

Recognition without explanation, birthplace of great humour.

It seems to depend on whether people get the religious reference as to whether they want the "not" or, er, not.
(or I may just be talking out of my face >_< again and putting words in others' mouths).

But I like it with the "not" included. Having said that, I missed the religious reference initially.
