Limbo

EXT. DAY. BEACH.

TANNOY: Welcome to Blackpool Pleasure Beach Limbo Championships. First to flex his flexibles is Jason, a bricklayer from Fleetwood.

JASON: I'll give her me best shot.

TANNOY: Ain't he a saucy one?

JASON LIMBOS UNDER THE BAR WITH EASE.

TANNOY: Give that lad a nice big dose of the clap. (PAUSE) Next up is Bill, a rather plump car park attendant from Bolton. And what does Chubby Brown say?

CROWD: You fat bastard, you fat bastard, you fat bastard.

BILL TRIES TO LIMBO BUT IS TOO FAT. AS HE APPROACHES THE BAR IT RAISES ON LEFT HAND SIDE LIKE A CAR PARK BARRIER AND HE WALKS ON THROUGH.

That's good but I think it would work better if it was even shorter.

It might even work silently.

I agree with Soot, for example, the barrier gag is good without the distraction of the Chubby Brown bit.

BILL TRIES TO LIMBO BUT IS TOO FAT. AS HE APPROACHES THE BAR IT RAISES ON LEFT HAND SIDE LIKE A CAR PARK BARRIER AND HE WALKS ON THROUGH.

CROWD APPLAUDS.

Agree could do without the Chubby Brown line. Another good one

Go with a silent version maybe, nice gag.
