Keeping Up Appearances reminded me too much of my mother. I found it totally cringeworthy They could have been sisters.


I know the feeling. It was set in an area too much like the one I was brought up in, too. Sometimes comedy can be 'too close to home'.


I figure you a dead ringer for Captian Peacock, without the muastache.



Damnit, Ron, I'm going to kill you for that. Captain Peacock, indeed. Well, I can do 'pompous', but not to that level of skill.

and as for humour - Monty Pythons Flying Circus was and is absolutely hilarious. Not sure the average American would get it.



I recall watching it with my spouse long ago:
Me, bent over laughing, and her, staring at the screen and saying, "That's not funny. Why are you laughing?"
(Come to think of it, she had absolutely no idea what was so funny about Andy Kaufman either.)

That's too funny - because I can vividly remember watching Monty Python as a kid, and laughing so hard I was crying and my dad looking over the paper, with an eyebrow cocked, saying "That's not funny."
It was a skit outside, everyone was dressed in tennis whites, a man was playing a piano and the lid came down on his fingers and cut them off. He stood up and sprayed blood everywhere, and it went down hill from there. It doesn't sound funny but it was absolutely hysterical......

"Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days", I think.



kiwisub22 -> RE: Humour that Can't Travel (11/16/2016 2:48:20 PM)

Its even funnier that you can name the skit......................



WhoreMods -> RE: Humour that Can't Travel (11/16/2016 2:52:40 PM)

I've probably got the title wrong, but it was supposed to be Peckinpah's version of one of Noel Cowerd's comedies. They did that one right after The Wild Bunch came out, I believe.
