Ha, this is pretty funny. I like the style in which it’s told. Very reminiscent of a screenplay. Not sure who or what Asterix is though, so I’m slightly confused there.
For some reason, this reminds me of every sketch the Pythons did where the producer was mad enough to let them use the courtroom set. Probably why I like it.
This was pretty funny. I especially like the detail of how she pleads the fifth in a British courtroom. Quite the character this Asterix of the Gauls, lover of the Almighty bacteria.
Funny bit, very absurdist, like Wolfechu said with the Monty Python reference. Nice touch with pleading the fifth in a British courtroom. And for those who don’t know, Asterix de Gaul is a bande dessinee or comic strip from across the pond about a plucky little Gaulois during the time of Roman occupation. It’s funny stuff…if you can understand the French well enough. The cow thing could even be seen as a bit of a reference to his companion Obelix, a large guy with a taste for wild boar.
For those of you who don’t under stand the references to Monty Python or Asterix and Obelix or measures of alcohol, it’s high time you get “edumacated”. Your task for this weekend (or indeed the next month or so) is to: 1) obtain any (or all) copies of Many Pythons movies and watch them one after the other. 2) obtain as many copies as possible of Asterix and Obelix (they are available in English) and read them before you go to bed.
oh and 3) obtain a book on unusual cocktail recepies and attempt to concoct them using only gin, water and a slice of lemon (or if not available a slice of tomato juice), drink while enjoying the subtle humor of MP and A&O
Shakespeare would be so proud, like a homage to his comedies bravo. I am a huge Python fan, even have Eric Idle’s autographed picture, and read Graham Crackers.
