Well, er, let's ask the man in the street what he thinks.

French Au Pair: I am not a man you silly billy.

Man on Roof: I'm not in the street you fairy.

Man in Street: Well, er, speaking as a man in the street... (a car runs him over) Wagh!

A decently funny group of preformers who make funny movies.

I enjoy some British humor but I think some American nerds over-quote Monty Python. I grow tired of it at times. Still funny though.

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I work all night and I sleep all day..."

Wrong!



BARBER:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.


MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.


MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.


BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama.

BARBER and MOUNTIES:
I (He) cut(s) down trees. I (He) wear(s) high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
BARBER:
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama!

A geek is a nerd with a social life? Guess that's me :D

"Do you have any cheddar?"
"Don't get much call for it around here, sir."
"Cheddar is the single most popular cheese in the world."
"Not around here, sir."
"Listen, I am going to ask you if you have ANY cheese in this store. And if you say no, I am going to shoot you. Do you have any cheese in this store?"
"Yes, sir... I mean, no, sir."
*shoots the cheese-shop proprietor*

This is all from memory as well, so don't blame me for any mistakes :cool:

You should watch more then...watch Life Of Brian first. Then if you want the best sketches, find the Cheese Shop sketch and the Dead Parrot sketch.

Here was me thinking Americans hadn't heard of it. I'm surprised no ones quoted anything from Meaning of Life yet. I mean, there's some choice scenes. The Sex Ed class, "Every Sperm is Sacred", "Bring in the machine that goes BLEEP", forced organ donation.... hang on, isn't that an NS issue? I smell a conspiracy.

What? No one has mentioned the Arguement sketch yet? It's just like the NS General forum. You go into one thread and end up getting nothing but abuse only to learn you should be in the forum next door wher you just get some guy that keeps saying "no it isn't" and "yes it is". Okay, only somewhat like the NS General forum. But still, a funny sketch.
