The setup

Two sharply dressed hitmen stride toward a courthouse job to operatic music, but a string of mishaps lands on one while the other cannot stop enjoying it.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Wearing matching dark suits and sunglasses, two hitmen carrying silenced pistols march up to a courthouse as an opera soundtrack swells. The mission never gets going: one setback after another leaves one of them wincing and scrambling while his partner reacts with open delight, and the sketch plays out entirely in gestures and expressions rather than spoken lines. The pile-up of indignities builds toward a runaway piano and a last pair of stunned and amused faces.
