I submitted 15 sketches to a new ITV show that's coming on in May. As I happened to be in town on Saturday, I decided to try one of them out.
It's set in a mobile phone store, so I went into the link, and spoke to the lad behind the counter:
Me: Hi, am I right in thinking that I need a tri-band phone if I want to use it in the USA?
Lad: (Consults co-worker) Yeah, that's right.
Me: And could I use it in Asia, and Europe?
Co-worker: Asia, yes, Europe... yes.
Me: What about the moon?
Co-worker: No.
Me: Anywhere in space?
Co-worker: No
Me: Okay, thanks.
------------
Not quite the reaction I was hoping for, I wanted more confusion.

I don't think even Jim Tavare or Tim Vine would touch that one with a 10 foot funny stick.
I think people are a bit more intelligent than you give them credit for.
Funny meter:
<---|--->
Sorta, in the middle there. Was it supposed to be funny?

Possibly funnier: a man goes into the Link with a Red Phone on his back.
He says to the bemused sales person "I think that there's something wrong with my mobile phone".
BOOM BOOM!

"No - use your finger like everyone else."

See, it didn't work like it did in the sketch I wrote when I tried it out for real.
In my sketch the kid behind the desk gets confused and asks a supervisor - when the supervisor returns, a simple question is asked "Do I need a tri-band to make calls in the USA" - making the kid look stupid. After supervisor gives him a look like he's stupid and leaves, you ask about space again...
In total I submitted 15 sketches to this competition, and admittedly that one was a little weak.
My personal favourite is a little surreal. You ahve a bunch of peopel dancing to Charles and Eddies "Would I Lie To You" - they are all dressed like either Charles or Eddie. There is a sign that reads "Charles and Eddie Night".
Then, enter screen left, a bloke dressed like Prince Charles.
A voice from off screen says "Hey Dave, wrong Charles"
Dave replied "Like you can talk, Steve"
Camera pans across to Steve in ski gear - his best Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards costume...
