Seal Sketch by The Frantics

[SFX: single seal barking]

Woman: "Oh, Bob! There's another seal climbing up the wall! Can you get it, please?"

Man: "Another Seal?! I'll get the harpoon, dear."

[SFX: Whoosh sound, followed by yelping-puppy noise]

Woman: "That's the third seal in the kitchen this morning! I don't know where they're coming from!"

Man: "It's the cold weather, dear - it brings them out."

Woman: "Well, ... those pesky seals are awful. They bark. And I ... I can't leave fish out."

[SFX: single seal barking]

Woman: "Oh, no."

Man: "I'll get some more harpoons"

Voiceover [strong Newfoundland/Irish accent]: "Wait, wait, wait. Harpoons are messy; shotguns leave a stain. If your house is infested with seals, call the experts - call Thunder 'n' Jesus Seal Removal. Now, whether you live right on the ice floes or in downtown St Johns, Thunder 'n' Jesus Seal Removal, will rid you of these enormous hairy wet pests.

Woman: "No more pests!"

[SFX: fiddle music]

Voiceover: "So remember! If seals are balancing your furniture on their nose, eatin' your fish, or just crawlin' all over your house, call Thunder 'n' Jesus! We'll give them the seal of disapproval! Call us and join the club!"


[Postscript: 2005-12-17 Received an anonymous email suggesting the voiceover accent was 'Newfoundland' (not Irish) and correcting my original transcription of the thick accent - "Tondern G's" - to "Tonderon Jesus". After finding no relevant matches for the suggested 'Tonderon', a further google search for "frantics" and "seal removal" gave a listing of episode #44 on the Unofficial Frantics Web Site, which lists the sketch as "Ad: Thunder & Jesus Seal Removal"]
