Help understanding British Comedy

@Bill from November Sound  - apparantly. I was reading The Fry Chronicles by Stephen Fry and from it understood there is a lot of material still to be discovered - mostly early cooperations with Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson.

I'm afraid that Neil Innes has died.
Singer/guitarist of/Writer for
the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
the Pytons
Grimms
the Rutles
and many solo adventures after that.

Understanding the British sense of absurdism and humor (I think ) is impossible without understanding the Bonzo's and the Rutles. And Monty Python of course.

Sung live against their own backing:



I will remember Neil.
Kind regards, Gus

Edit:
I'll remember George too.
But Neil more.

I’ve been warned, that more than 200 days have passed without humor.
So bump!!!



For Dutch tv!
I think the NL taking over English tv to tell them about Dutch humor won’t be met with as much applause or enthousiasm.

Enjoy! @Bill from November Sound
Kind regards, Gus

@LePlongeur

YES!!!!

 

I assure you I have spent each and every one of those 200 days basking in the glow of full on British weirdness.      

YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!! it is.
but my question to all Kitcheners is:
Do we have to wait another 200+ days without humor?

kind regards, Gus

@LePlongeur
Other kitcheners?
No we're the only ones here in the cafe. Hoi, hoi!  Proost! Cheers.

It's a rainy Sunday morning here in CT and I should be in church but you know how things are now a days.

In the old days Jesus was known to heal the sick. Today there is a tough looking deacon at the door who takes your temperature and makes sure your mask fits properly! You best be under 98 F or he tosses you out on your backside .... and that's just not going to work for me because I hurt my back pretty bad yesterday during one of my fancy house remodeling projects. 

So does anyone want to jump off a cliff?   

Recently I watched  this by accident on YT and thought this is funny.  It's a german TV show 'You understand fun?' . But you don't need to understand the moderator..... this episode calls 'The water bed challenge'




Oh just saw the poll... and the other converstations.... sorry if this is offtopic

Not off topic at all @Mo 
That poll and this thread is all really old! That is why it is funny that @LePlongeur bumped it. 

OMG @Mo  .... that water bed gag was mean!
