The coolest! Any guess where that was filmed?

Lisa had no pearls, and Marge's hair was way off, but very good.

K Frame · « **Reply #3 on:** April 21, 2006, 03:09:33 AM »

My guess is that it was filmed in Britain.

The wife was driving a right-hand drive car. The husband was driving a left-hand drive car, but LH drive cars are a LOT more common in Britain than RH drive cars are in the United States.

Mike is right as far as I know, Sky One use that.

That's cool.

Iain,

What is Sky One? Sort of the equivilent of our CNN?

Iain · « **Reply #7 on:** April 21, 2006, 04:46:19 AM »

Sky One is a satellite/cable channel. Mainly shows comedy. Endlessly shows Malcolm in the Middle, Simpsons, Futurama, but also Buffy. And then at night it shows such quality as 'Britain's Hardest Pubs'.

"Endlessly shows Malcolm in the Middle,"

On behalf of the entire American nation, I humbly apologize to Britain for that abomination.

Iain · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2006, 07:11:53 AM »

Maybe my life has been rather too full of domineering, near psychotic women, but I like Malcolm in the Middle.

That was the intro to a simpson's episode a few weeks ago.

Perd Hapley · « **Reply #11 on:** April 21, 2006, 02:36:55 PM »

Is The Simpsons still good? Love that show, but haven't had television for three years now.

K Frame · « **Reply #12 on:** April 21, 2006, 06:27:34 PM »

"Is The Simpsons still good?"

Hit and miss. Better now than it was a couple of seasons ago, though.

Payback for years of Benny Hill.

Benny Hill is GREAT!

I risk to differ.

Watching toothless senior men chase young women is not funny.

Beating a dead parrot against a counter top, now THAT is funny.

You're damned right. Beating a dead parrot against a countertop whilst screaming "'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!"

Isn't just funny, it's bleeding from your eyeballs, blowing beer out your nose, gutwrenchingly hilarious. Quite possibly the 20th century's most brilliantly contrived and executed bit of humor of the English language. Charley Chapin and Abbot & Costello are mildly amusing next to this. Several scenes from 'Life of Brian' approach it in humor, but that has to be the single absolute over the top sketch I've ever seen.

'South Park' is making a decent American/Canadian version of a run for the Monty Python money though.

IMHO, English humor viewed from an American cultural perspective tends to be either not funny at all (Benny Hill) or very, very funny and clever, without all that much middle ground, except for you super-sophisticated types.

"Watching toothless senior men chase young women is not funny."

And watching semi-toothed close-to-senior men dress as ugly women and screech is funny?

Huh?

Benny Hill was more than chasing women, just as Monty Python was more than a dead parrot.

I don't think the Monty Python cast was anywhere near senior during the Flying Circus, Holy Grail days.

Oh you're dern right it's funny. If you question the inate humor of my Monty Python, I will be questioning your manhood, your patriotism, your sense of Christian and American values, and I will be reporting you to the white house, the Justice Department and the Patriot act enforcement agency for being a communist, Muslim, a terrorist, a homosexual and singing showtunes way off-key. You mess with my Monty Python and you mess with my buddies George W. Bush, John Roberts, Alberto Gonzales, Vincente Fox, and John Ashcroft. We get together after wednsday night prayer meetings and have "Python Parties" with popcorn, peanuts and "sparkling" grape juice. We're the Christian Python brigade and we're coming for you buddy.

"BRIAN:
Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats.
JUDITH:
I do feel, Reg, that any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must reflect such a divergence of interests within its power-base.
REG:
Agreed. Francis?
FRANCIS:
Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--
STAN:
Or woman.
FRANCIS:
Or woman... to rid himself--
STAN:
Or herself.
FRANCIS:
Or herself.
REG:
Agreed.
FRANCIS:
Thank you, brother.
STAN:
Or sister.
FRANCIS:
Or sister. Where was I?
REG:
I think you'd finished.
FRANCIS:
Oh. Right.
REG:
Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--
STAN:
Or woman.
REG:
Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.
STAN:
Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
FRANCIS:
Why are you always on about women, Stan?
STAN:
I want to be one.

REG:
What?
STAN:
I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.
REG:
What?!
LORETTA:
It's my right as a man

JUDITH:
Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
LORETTA:
I want to have babies.
REG:
You want to have babies?!
LORETTA:
It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.
REG:
But... you can't have babies.
LORETTA:
Don't you oppress me.
REG:
I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
LORETTA:
[crying]
JUDITH:
Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
FRANCIS:
Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.
REG:
What's the point?
FRANCIS:
What?
REG:
What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!
FRANCIS:
It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
REG:
Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

Shoot, I was hoping it was going to be the bit with the different resistance groups, all with similar names.

Type "people's front for the liberation of Judea" into google.

Found a lot of comment on the bit, but did not find a transcript. Apparently, there also is an actual group by that name. Are you getting your transcripts from the net?

Please Stand_watie, in the name of all that is Holy, tell me that you do NOT dress in this fashion during your meetings...
