Hello all. I have read through the script once more after a good night's
sleep, albeit slightly uncomfortable as I was using my friend for a pillow,
and have noticed a startling degeneration in the, what was dubious to begin
with, quality of my 'work'. I must apologise for this, and will endeavour
to stop staying out til the wee hours of the morning, and making do on two
hours sleep and no food. This is not fair on you, and anyway my body is
beginning to complain. Therefore, as of now, I will make a concerted effort
to broaden my jokes and make them funny, not just little asides that amuse
me in the dead of night.
To rectify the damage done by the previous chapters I will explain exactly WHERE those bewildering cameos came from. And if you've never seen any of them I recommend them to you. Of course I cannot condone the downloading of files from the internet, this is BAD and IMMORAL. But handy, so I've been told.
So,
CAMEO: (this also works as a Disclaimer as the cameos I presented were plagiarised)
1 – The wonderful Mark Williams (Mr Weasley) as one of the Suit You tailors from the Fast Show. Brilliant 90's British show, and I adore Paul Whitehouse.
Fountain – The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from the old days when they were good. I was particularly in awe of my favourite – Donatello – for his ability to make a stick as formidable a weapon as a sword...
2 – John Cleese and the dead parrot. Hilarious sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Dead Parrot Sketch. Brilliantly parodied by my idols Matt Stone and Trey Parker with the Dead Friend Sketch, with Cartman as John Cleese, Kyle as Michael Palin and Kenny as the dead friend...
3 – Squeak Scolari comes from the film Baseketball. (His real name's Kenny). Also starring Matt Stone and Trey Parker.
4 – Geek = Luke Skywalker, Old Dude = Obi Wan Kenobi, Nerf Herder= Han 'who you callin' scruffy lookin'?' Solo, Carpet Man = Chewie. The scene at Alderan Space Port. And if by now you don't recognise this as a Star Wars drop then there's no hope for you. God, I'm such a geek.
5 – Rodney, the plonker, is being called such by his brother Del Boy. From Only Fools and Horses. When it was good. And they were still selling dodgy goods. Very British and very funny.
6 – I'm not supposed to include real people, so it's the Terminator...How the hell did the Terminator become the Governor of California? He played CONAN for cryin' out loud. The mind boggles.
7 – Furthering the Dead Parrot Sketch. If you've never seen Monty Python you don't know what you're missing. If you've only ever seen the Holy Grail you DO know what you're missing – so find some episodes. I highly recommend the 'fish slapping dance', 'how to irritate people' and anything with the Spanish Inquisition. No-one expects the Spanish Inqisition! Seriously, watch some.
8 – Rightly identified as Casper, the bloody irritating ghost. Hell – I preferred FATSO to this guy. And Stretch was miles better.
9 – Ohhh, Tish. The Addams Family. Delightfully weird.
10 – OK – Not supposed to mention real people, so this is a CHARACTER from a South Park episode, an episode called Super Best Friends. Just a hint – this 'magician's' followers are called BLAINiacs.
11 – None of you will have got this. I remember the toaster from my childhood. Not from a cartoon though. The Talkie Toaster makes a memorable appearance in the classic cult show Red Dwarf. See the White Hole episode. And the Lister fella? None other than Dave Lister from said show.
There we go – a little explanation. Now turn to the next chappie. If you still have faith.
