Subject: Answering Machine by Jason Dignard

I thought this sketch was half-decent. The boardroom stuff was maybe a little too subtle in it's humour, but I thought it was kind of funny how they were all about how the charts looked, and how they felt they had to consult with George about them. The answering machine messages seemed to be the main idea - I felt like they weren't bad - definetely could have been funnier. The first one was probably the best, the singing one and the peeing one were rather poor.
I didn't like how the problem early on was desribed as a catastrophe. Using that word wasn't funny. "This very serious problem" may have worked better.
I did like how Gordon was visibly shaken by the reality of the situation and that he now feels he needs to contact George.
I think it ends well.
4 out of 10, meaning it was below average. It wasn't bad. I think if worked on by a team of writers, it could be a pretty good sketch.
