Comedy Duo Reunite in Search for new joke

Comedy fans were celebrating last night as Matt Lucas and David Walliams, arguably the funniest men of all time, were teaming up once again to develop a new joke. The twosome were reported to have recruited some of the world’s premier joke scientists, and have dug up most of Devon to construct a Comedy Entertainment Research Network, a huge cock shaped building with the undercover staff parking hilarious resembling two large testicles.

“I thought we had finished our work” said Lucas “I didn’t think we could ever top the world beating series ‘Little Britain’, which caused any and all comedy shows to end because it was simply the best. But now we think we are on the verge of a new joke which we may be able to stretch out to six or seven series”.

Meanwhile, Walliams was more taciturn, punching our reporter in the face and leaving him laying on the pavement.

“The new joke will be about three lines long, we think” said Lucas “It’s unclear at the moment. Research indicates a allegoric metaphor which is both well observed yet acutely satirical.”

The pair’s previous work was hailed by everyone on the planet as absolutely hilarious, and when sketch shows were proposed to the public post ‘Little Britain’, they were shunned and the actors and writers killed by armed comedy militia, who saw their work as pale imitations of the Master of Mirth.

The show was one of the first to have a religion named after it, the Little ‘uns, consisting of men dressing as women (hilarious), men pretending to be foreign (hilarious) and a man dressed as a woman pressing a button and repeating the same line (also hilarious). Many have joined the faith, but some unkind critics have called it a cult.

“They can only speak the catchphrases from the show” said one former member “and as you can imagine, it becomes very waring”.
