Project X (media)

advertisements: Child Labor

characters: Babushka (Ella), sketchy businessperson (Izzy), William Fredson jonnyboi, (Wil for short – Clarissa).

The main idea of the advert is that Babushka forces Wil to go to work for the rest of his life so he could pay for everything, and Babushka wouldn’t have to do anymore jobs around the house.

here is our script for the Advert..  

Script  

Title Screen: *Warning: this ad was for comedic purposes only. Please do not take this seriously or try it yourself. Do not attempt to call any numbers mentioned or try the websites* 

Babushka: I can’t be bothered doing all these chores!  

Sketchy: *dramatically enters* Hey, Babushka!  

Babushka: …Yeah? 

Sketchy: How about you sell your kids to child labour?! Cough, cough me! 

*Close up to Sketchy’s face then go to a silent medium shot* 

Babushka: And why would I do that? 

Sketchy: Because your child will get a work experience like no other, teach them some valuable life lessons in not trusting businesspeople, and teach them to hate old people like all small children should 

Babushka: But what’s in it for me?  

Sketchy: You don’t have to get your hands dirty doing small insignificant jobs! And you won’t have to worry about breaking that frail body of yours. Let them work for their own money so you don’t have to pay for everything they demand for! You can even steal their money for your own evil plans, and finally have your friends over without the utter shame and embarrassment of having kids to ruin your fun and destroy your expensive imported plates, vases and *shudders* teacups.  

Babushka: Oh wow! I really should sell my child to you! 

Sketchy: Excellent

Babushka: *leaves for a little bit* 

Sketchy: *stands there… doing whatever/being awkward. Play the elevator music* 

Babushka: *dramatically drags a small child* Here you go. My one and only child William Fredson Jonnyboi.  

Wil: Grammy who on earth is this? 

Babushka: He’s your new boss! Meet the Sketchy Businessperson! 

Wil: But Grammy I’m too young to work, and isn’t this highly illegal?  

Babushka: WILLIAM FREDSON JONNYBOI! You will work for the Sketchy Businessperson! 

Sketchy: It’s ok small child this isn’t illegal! Not if you don’t get caught! And I’ve only been caught ten times out of eleven! *Pulls out a book* Sign here, here, initial here and finally sign here. Perfect! *Grabs Wil* Now your child can do any jobs you don’t want to. *Points at camera* And if you want to sell your child to me so they can work their butts off just call 567 656 997 or visit www.sketchydude.com for more details!
