All i can say as i wipe the dribble form my chin

is YES YES YES

i like ALOT

that will teach him for being so mug

Thanks Ian!

I liked that, to me it sounded pretty original and was tidily written! The only problem I had with it was ... if its video media ... how do you get across the mug types to put the class distinction across?

Hi Losaaverda, I`m glad you liked it

Great point! I think the actual look and style of each mug would give an immediate class distinction.

But, if I had to think about how it could be shot on a shoestring budget without animation, then I`d beg, borrow or barter a job lot of each mug. Then, I`d give each mug a range of expressions, cross my fingers and rely on good camera angles, editing and voice over to achieve the right effect.

I`m not a techie at all, I just enjoy writing so I`m probably completely wrong. If anyone happens to be reading this and can think of a better way please let me know. I`m really curious as to how it`d all work!

Maybe these Mugs could be recurring characters. Write another one with them in Jude.

OK Dave, I`ll give it a go!

More weird but very wonderful stuff from you, Jude. I like! I like!

I'd change the joke about the dishwasher being a rugby scrum though... it didn't quite resonate for me somehow. Not that I have a better line for you... but perhaps something more relevant would be funnier? Or at least involving water?

I thought that was the best line!

Hey, what do I know?

Thanks Darren, I really enjoyed writing this

Lol, now you tell me Leevil!

Hey Jude.... i love your weird wonderful mind...what made you think of doing a sketch about mugs!

What a brilliant sketch and i could just imagine the sheep mug with a little crack in it too...and a highly polished china mug. I laughed a lot... well done!

Cool

Just teh right length and well presented too. Also it made me gaffaw.

Kudos to you.

Yeah. One with Dave's face on it.

Thanks Ellie and Ed, pleased you enjoyed it

Ellie, I have a sheep mug, which was in front of me at the time half-full of coffee and it just started me off!

Ed, I reckon Dave`d love his own personalised mug.

Hi Jude

I like this one. It's very good. I think it needs polishing (no pun intended) and you could get a couple more one-liners in there to keep interest high.

With regards filming it, rather than animating, I reckon you could 'paste' the actors' faces onto a normal mug (like Noel Fielding when he's 'The Moon' in The Mighty Boosh) as it would give a good sort of 'cheap' feel to it.

Thanks Dan, I`m pleased you liked it

I agree, when I`m polishing the sketch, I`ll try to get a couple more one-liners in.

Great idea concerning the filming and much appreciated. I`m really lucky though, as someone has now come forward and is helping with the animation.
