Na na na na, ba da da daaa!

"And Homer, if you could kill someone on the way out, that would help me a lot!" - Hank Scorpio (best villain ever!)

I've been on a Simpsons bender this week, rewatching old episodes at a furious rate! My all time favorite episode is You Only Move Twice (s8e2) from which I grabbed that delightful line. I'd just like to take a moment to pay tribute to the hilarious shows, movies and people that shaped my sense of humour, and by extension my view of life.
=======================================================
"We have to get these people to a hospital!"
"A hospital? What is it?"
"Its a big building with patients, but thats not important right now!"

Number one on the list is the deadpan genius known only as Leslie Nielson! From Airplane to Naked Gun (2 1/2, 33 1/3), to lesser known 90's spoofs such as (get a pen) Wrongfully Accused, and Spy Hard.

"Makes you feel so, sort of, insignificant doesn't it?"
"Yeah... yeah... So, can we have your liver then?"
"Yeah, alright, you talked me into it."

It was hard to pick just one bit of dialogue to represent the madness that is Monty Python! I didn't have a huge video collection, but what I did have was every one of Python's full length movies. Over the years I diligently memorized every bit of dialogue in the movies, and have been known to quote them at length if you don't tell me to shut up quick enough :P

"And why would the good people of England follow you, Robin?"
"Because unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"

Oh Mel Brooks you funny funny man, I doubt it was a coincedence that you always played a (to varying degrees) beligerent, womanizing, drunk- but then again, you gotta play what you know!

There were lots of other influences over the years from the antics of Family Guy, to the word play of Arrested Developement, to the ... well the list goes on indefinitely, I'm sure you get the idea!

So in conclusion, I say, laugh and be merry, and any time you want a good comedy, odds are I can point you in the right direction!

"Man if I had a dick I'd go get laid!"
"Yeah, well, we're gonna do the next best thing."
"Whats that?"
"We're gonna kill people."
