Red Balls Energy Drink

The premise

Here’s the bit.

In a send-up of energy-drink commercials, crack addict Tyrone Biggums sits on a stool against a black backdrop and introduces himself as the spokesman for Red Balls, explaining that his endless chase for drugs leaves him worn out until the drink gives him a lift. One swig sends him racing off. When a frantic mother is locked out of her car with her baby crying inside, Tyrone hears her from across the neighborhood, sprints over and punches through the window, only to grab the camcorder from the front seat and run; he later turns up in a park trying to sell her that same camera and showing off the other goods stashed in his coat. Fueled by another can, he hoists an entire city bus off the pavement to reach something that rolled underneath, as a radio voice reports the strange sight. Locked in a jail cell, he politely asks the guard for one more Red Balls, then smashes straight through the cinder-block wall, leaving a Tyrone-shaped hole, before ducking back in to grab his pillow and blanket.
