More meta-absurdity. I figured if I could do one with John reading The Hobbit, I can do this too XD With apologies to the rest of the cast of this episode of HIGNFY, I just made up rude deductions about them all. None of them are true!
The television is on in one corner, mostly ignored. Sherlock's appropriated John's laptop for something, and John's reading a book. Something prompts John to look up though, and what he sees on the screen shocks him. It's an old repeat of Have I Got News For You, but not one he's ever seen before.
"Sherlock, c'mere. Look at this, look at the telly."
Sherlock looks up, eyeing the screen with disdain.
"What am I looking at John? Besides a woman carrying on an affair, a man who's just run over his neighbour's dog, an embezzler, and a ridiculous ging-" he trails off, his mouth hanging open comically.
"It's not just me then, he does look a bit familiar?"
Sherlock scowls, gesturing angrily at the screen. "Look at him. He's all.. smiley. And ginger. I don't see the resemblance at all."
"Bollocks, I know you do, or you wouldn't have reacted. I just looked it up, his name is apparently Benedict Cumberbatch. Any Cumberbatches in your family?" John snickers, apparently relishing saying the name repeatedly.
"What sort of a ridiculous name is that? It has to be a stage name."
"Sherlock, have you forgotten your name is, uh, Sherlock?"
This comment earns a dramatic roll of the eyes. "No, John, I'd completely overlooked that fact. Honestly though. Is his name really Benedict?"
