Very Monty Pythonish...

@@BadWebDiver Bugger. I was going to say Pythonesque.

@@funkyalfonso Pythonic

Pythonian, Pythonarily, Pythoniptic

I believe that Monty Python's Flying Circus did the same thing 50 years ago...

@@hemiolaguy Did what thing?

@@baronvonnembles Transitioned to the next sketch by having someone go through a door as part of the previous sketch. I'm not saying that Fry & Laurie are plagiarizing Monty Python -- it could be a homage to them, or my memory could be faulty. I think Fry & Laurie are amazing comic geniuses!

So you're the little rascal.

​@@wayneurquhart7192 I read War & Peace twice yesterday at morning tea.

So engrossing, I finished the entire work in one sitting!

@@shotforshot5983 You should read "The West Indies, a Nation of Cricketers", by Ted Cunterblast next. You will be enthralled.

Well, here in Norway we already do that. Classic children stories, Roald Dahl, etc is being dissected and censored east and west for containing words such as brown and fat. I think the problem is that we as a nation are too much a bunch of pussies to gather round and decapitate leadership and place their heads on stakes outside the parliament to ward off other potential leaders.

I knew a girl who had a similar spine tickling voice. When she spoke, I had trouble keeping from tilting my head sideways, like a dog who hears someone whistle

Very much like Basil Fawlty's Sybil, I thought. Delightful...in that context.

She was a superb addition to the cast. . Amazing performances always!

She has that kind of accent that just makes me want to hear her say, "DIRTY BOY! DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY!!!"

I just can't help but see her as Wayne Wright all the time.

I was nine years old when I saw this sketch, and...umm: I rang the nearest library requesting said book. (The libarian was rather cheesed off with me and asked if it was a joke and being a naive wee chap I repeated my request and was quite jilted when the dial phone gave a disconnected tone.)

@@SiliconBong / Don't give up the day job will you!

Right?! Hilarious. 😂😅

well can't do that without a propper crack assult force

@@ransherman1611 They have a good arsenal..😁

You forgot secret and elite.

Our Special Forces troops have to first graduate from.....Speshul skool.

Those two can deeply penetrate our commando units in Australia any time.

Kunerblarghst.

At least it's not Dikkyblast!

...especially if it was spoken before the 9:00pm "watershed"... as one of Stephen's vox pop characters asked about..! In this case "Who keeps water in a shed? ... And what's that got to do with cunt blasts?"

***** And they say Americans don't have a sense for irony.

***** Be that as it may: "Ted"? "Ted"?

***** Strongly recommend you watch Rowan Atkinson and Griff Rhys Jones--( Not the Nine O'clock News) in their terrific piss -take of --Mr. President (Ronald Reagan) meets the Press. This applies to All US Presidents since.

How dare you sir ?! As a Cunterblast from a long line of Cunterblasts going back to the Norman Conquest, I take strong exception to that comment ! Blast your eyes !! And a pox on your house !! Many of my ancestors have been named Ted. I demand satisfaction, sir !!

If you would defend your honour, I must accept your challenge, Sir. Sword or pistol?

That's Mrs. Toilet to you!

Lol, full circle for me when I read "appalled". Deborah Norton was great in Yes Prime Minister too where Bernard, Hacker, Humpy and "Weasel" all were just that, "appalled" in an episode 😁

If it had been at the Swedish Post Office it would've been "documentarish" accuracy 😁

as a non librarian, i'm just appalled.

Will you be in for tea ? 😊👍🏻🤝🏻🇳🇱

That's my absolute fave sketch!

Yesss! She really should have been on more episodes than she got.

She was in Yes, Prime Minister. Dorothy, Jim Hacker's political adivsor

feels so strange to see Bertram Wooster, Jeeves, and Dorothy in one scene.

Certainly not Sybil!

@@victoriousrufus6747 no, I think the OP agrees ("reminds me of...")

Hmmm. Sybil 🤔 That's a woman too. Good catch 👍🏻

I'm curious what in particular you're referring to?

@@jacketofdiamonds Just go and have a look at any news piece which has a headline that contains the words "experts say" or "fact checkers", and you'll have a general idea.

@@RabbiHerschel ...don't...trust...experts. Got it. Anti-intellectualism at its finest.

@@jacketofdiamonds cope and seethe

@@RabbiHerschel yeah, as the one who approached this conversation with an open mind up until you said to distrust experts on the basis of being experts I'm the one coping and seething

Literally what I was thinking as an Indian. Really cannot understate how hard this hits. Ultra-nationalism is a disease.

Ahh! . . So the 'elite' are starting to take over India too. . . Dangerous times ahead.

Found the bengali

world war number 2? they are not americans

Huh? We call it World War 2, not "World War #2." Which Americans have you spoken to?

I beg your pardon, but did you say "Inuit"?

JanetFunkYeah I thought they said "dimwit". But maybe that's just my hearing.

Yep, Deborah Norton was great there too (nerdy point: it was in Yes, Prime Minister tho, but it was the same brilliant comedy)

Ted Kunerblarghst

it's funny how at the end he says "it's a bit of an exaggeration" well, not anymore xD

Yea as the wainwright woman

Did you get your wish?
