Word Play Bar Extra Jokes

I've been having a bad couple of weeks, the first after a long time. As usual, when that happens, your sketches and Patreon content have kept me going. Can I send you a big virtual hug as thank you? Thank you 🙂

Happy to see that a version of the pool joke has made it into today's sketch ☺️

How could you not have a Martini 🍸with a cocktail susage in it as the Martini-weenie? 😜. So many good jokes left behind 😔 I especially love the snorkling in the Sahara, just my kind 👍😂

Christine S. Nielsen

That's a good point! I giggled imagining your version. People are making so many suggestions here, it seems Arms should have run these jokes past the Patrons *before* filming the sketch. ;)

The lighting on this sketch was phenomenal by the way.

We just need Foil to explain his filming techniques.

Thanks for a great inside-the-process report. We struck gold with the set tour, Arms's notes and the sketch!

I'm definitely going to order a Martiniweenie whenever I'm in a real bar. 🤣

I’m not sure having him point at the drink works, that’s just a man saying his name and then the name of a drink. I think you’d need to introduce the idea of it being a smaller Martin first and then have it be the drink as a surprise after that. But can’t as it’s the first one. Or how about the barman introduces himself as Martin then you say “Can I have a martini?” “Sure.” And cut back to a smaller Martin. “Oh, I was thinking more-“ Cut back to even smaller Martin (saying “Martini-weenie?” If you want to keep that in as people seem to like it here.)

So many creative people among the fahns. How do you feel when you create/write/draw something, and you like it, but have to leave it behind for some reason?

Such a fascinating insight on how you guys' brains work.. must be hard to decide which jokes to keep and how and which ones should go..thanks for sharing, have a nice week-end!

The screwdriver is a great one!

Martini-weenie WAS funny, but would have added to the difficulty of editing!

Oh, you ought to have kept more of these in! The "chaser" and golf jokes, the raising of Arms' spirits, and the few that made it to filming such as "No she's actually Dutch" and "it's on me" would have really made this one feel like it belonged among the Wordplay sketches! I thought the pool joke could have been fun too - maybe as simple as "Is there a cue [queue] for the pool?" "No, it's just through that door - but you need your own towel, and no diving in the shallow end." You could also have done a reversal of the "screwdriver" joke from Wordplay Hardware Shop, by having someone come to the bar and order a screwdriver and get the tool instead of the drink...?

Hog's Bacon number is 2! That's pretty awesome.

Thanks Arms. The Martin joke, laughed out loud! Glad to watch before an appointment. Enjoy your weekend!

Now I wonder what the Lads' Bacon numbers are...

Intensive Porpoise

Martini-weenie made me actually LOL 😂 i do love the pool/cue idea - I imagine that’s frustrating not being able to get it to work. I like the Chaser/chase-her and the ‘off the tea’ jokes too. Thanks for sharing Arms - I always find these fascinating! 😁

This is a really interesting insight, thanks! I always love seeing different aspects of the process. It's also really fun seeing everyone's angle on the pool joke that never was. Throwing my hat into the ring... Glasses Hog: Excuse me, where's the cue for the pool? Barman Foil: It's over there Cut to shot of all three of you queuing next to wall with No Dive Bombing sign or similar, with your towels, swimming cap and goggles etc. (Or if you're feeling daring, in your togs.) Lower effort (no set dressing or change of costumes required): Glasses Hog: Excuse me, is there a fee for the pool? Barman Foil: There's not, but you'll need a hat and goggles.

Martiniwini 🤣😂

It must be very hard to decide which jokes to keep. Thanks for sharing. This is actually a good way to never let a good joke die.😉 Have a nice weekend everybody.

I feel like that Kevin Bacon movie titles bit could be a whole separate sketch unless you'd consider it too close to the Bar Names sketch? PS you went through the trouble of adding car accident sound FX before cutting a whole scene, hahaha you!

You lads never fail to raise the bar 😆🙌

Watching this was such a pleasant way to end this Friday night! So many good jokes that didn't make it, I couldn't really pick one to be my favourite ☺️ I highly appreciate these videos where you simply talk to the camera about something you feel like elaborating on ❤️

Great way to start the weekend! Hope you have a fab one too!

Pool joke idea: Guy walking up to the bar in snooker attire (waistcoat)/holding the balls: I'm sorry, but where can I find the cue for the pool. Bartender: Oh it's right over here! (Pointing at a guide sign/arrow saying: (this way to the) Pool But you will need these (Bartender pulling out the bath hat and a towel and handing it to the guy) Guy: Thanks (walking away)
