Not the parrot sketch. Page 3

Oi get back to praising and venerating me!
That's quite enough about ruddy CGI.

Verb: venerate
1. Find fault with, pointing out real or perceived flaws. Pedantic nitpicking, often done by shallow attention whores named Kenneth. With squirrel avatars.

Dressed like John Cleese? You mean a brown suit, or a polo shirt, or a white coat, or a lemon sweater, or a Roman centurion's outfit or what? Do you mean the MAN is wearing a buttoned up plastic raincoat (as worn by Cleese's charcter Mr Praline) and displaying Cleese-like mannerisms from the Dead Parrot sketch?

Last line is redundant, IMO, and could be replaced with a smug "thank you". Furthermore, does the thief then visit the petshop run by the assistant's brother in Bolton?

Alexi Sayle did the John Cleese Python sketch parody much faster in an episode of The Young Ones.

Even Cleese and Palin parodied the Dead Parrot sketch at one of the Secret Policeman's Ball stage shows (in 1989, I think).

1 Obviously I mean a midget in a rain coat on stilts. Professionals can glean the neccesary details from simple stage directions.

2 How else would one know it's a robbery? Though granted it maybe funnier if the line was delivered by the parrot.

3 The Parrot sketch is obviously a piss take on Shroedinger's cat ergo it is not original in and of it's self.

4 The sketch is not about the Parrot Sketch it is infact a lacerating satire on student jokes, pet supermarkets and the word piss.

Other than that thanks for the feedback.

Just kidding (probably).

This is the second time I have laughed while reading 'Critique'.

What was the first?

The infamous Sootyj Falls off a Horse (or whatever it was called) sketch.
