Ext. School Fence

A small boy is looking through a fence. A football lies on the other side of the fence.

Boy: (CALLS) Here, mister!

An old man approaches and picks up the ball.

Man: Cleared the fence did you? Cor! You’re like a young Bobby Charlton!

Boy: Can I have it back, please?

Man: Of course you can.

The man throws it pathetically over the fence. The boy catches.

Boy: Thanks.

The boy runs off.

Man: What a nice, young man.

The man walks off smiling. The camera pans along to show the boy running up to the football. He kicks it and it flies straight into another boy who is tied to a tree.

ENDS

I liked but a pedant inside me is screaming out, surely a 'nice young man' would be better as the punchline is the juxtaposition of what the man thinks as opposed to the actually attitude of the kid. So therefore would you consider it un-polite to tie a boy to a tree and kick a ball at him? Well yes, but surely not the main identity of emotions involved rudeness. Surely the better comparrison is that he is mean there fore 'a nice young man'.

I'm joking... I loved it :)

It took me about 16 reads, Danny, but I see what you mean!

'Nice young man' is the more natural setup to the reveal. Consider it changed.

This sketch demands the ball land squarely in the boy's groin.

It's quite nice and sweet, mind you have a vision of a much, much darker variant.

I discovered this yesterday and was quite touched. It’s a shame the 4Laughs forums aren’t more busy.
