I first showed this picture several years back, but I reckon it can weather another outing. I'd been moving stuff around in one of my rooms and noticed this completely inadvertent, un-staged comic scenario: namely, The DALEKS listening intently to the words of their new Emperor, PETER RABBIT! So I decided to have a caption competition and started things off with a few of my own.
"I've just invented this sonic carrot with which we shall defeat the Doctor! The future is orange!"
"I've just invented this sonic carrot with which we shall defeat the Doctor! The future is orange!"
"Okay, Daleks - to the tune of 'Old MacDonald had a Farm' - sing up at the back now..."
"Okay, I'll choose who's going for the chips - eeny-meeny-miny-mo..."
Rolling forward to 2020, here are some more I just thought off. (Outside of the 'Emperor' scenario.)
"Glad we bought our tickets early - we got the best seats in the house!"
"Boo! Hiss! Rubbish! Get off - we want Frankie Boyle!"
"Who's the guy in the rabbit suit?"
"That's a funny shaped microphone he's holding."
"And when I count down from five, you'll suddenly all think you're naked."
"That's the biggest damn rabbit I ever saw!"
"When I wave this carrot-shaped wand and say 'Abracadabra', you'll all disappear."
"I must be in the wrong conference room - this doesn't look like the Carrot Appreciation Society's Annual gathering."
"There were these two Mechanoids..."
"Oops! Beam me up, Scotty - quick!"
"Right, you've all got your sales packs - now get out there and SELL!"
"Id like to welcome you all to the first Mormon Daleks worship service. We'll now sing a hymn."
"Wa-hey! Get 'em off!"
"That's a rubbish waxwork - it looks nothing like him!"
"Well, it was either him as new Emperor or Donald Trump! I think we chose wisely."
"Hey, Peter - we want our money back. Your bouncy castle has no bounce to it."
"This isn't right. Shouldn't the balcony seats look down at the stage?"
Huh! Tenner a ticket and then the comedian gets stage fright and forgets his routine! We should've gone to the pictures instead."
"That's the stripper? But he's only half-dressed to begin with. What a swizz!"
"I usually use the 'carrot and stick' approach, but I've misplaced my stick."
Okay, all you budding scriptwriters - leave your hilarious attempts in the comments section. "Or you will be exterminated!" (No prizes, just the joy and reward of seeing your entry published.)
