Can you pretend to be Jewish?

Laughing out loud

I'm guessing there's a bit of a teller.

Or maybe Nil's one of that lot.

Show us!

No Jew here, sorry. I'm sure he'll pop back for some loving soon.

I've always thought it pretty ironic, that Cook and Moore get spoken about in such high regard by comedy fans, yet the thing they seem to be mostly rememberd for, is Cook simply making Moore corpse. Of course, there's the Tarzan sketch as well, but, after that, what else are they rembered for? Their films were terrible, and as for Derek and Clive, that was just crap.

I always laugh at the The Chartered Accountant Dance from At Last The 1948 Show.

I've showed it to several people who usually don't get subtle humor and even they think it's funny.
And way ahead in it's time when you think of all the dances to come (ex: the lawnmower, the sprinkler ect...)
My second favorite sketch from the 1948 Show would have to be the 'Let's Speak English' sketch. That's the kind of stuff you think "man I wish I would have wrote that".

Laughing out loud That's good, I've never seen that before.

Ah ha! I found the other one.
From the At Last the 1948 Show: Let's All Speak English

If it's available in Canada I'm sure it's available in the UK.
*checks Amazon.co.uk*
BING!

And it's less than 4 pounds! Shit! Cost me nearly 50 bucks Canadian!
EDITED:
Oh and I saw this on sale for Aaron:

Thanks, Curt, I found the same one (look above). Tis ordered. :)

You know this show was a precursor to Python right? It has two Pythons and Marty Feldman (from Young Frankenstein).

Yeah, I've just never seen any before (outside of documentaries). I'd like to get my hands on some Frost Report stuff too. :)

A classic.

"That's I-gor"

What's the Frost Report?
