The British version of whose line is not funny at all. I have watched about twenty different clips now and have barely laughed at all. The only time I did was when Ryan or Colin said something.
Personally I don't think he's a fag atall but that's your opinion:) He's really clever and also modest. I think John and Josie are extremely smart, but they don't compare to Stephen. Ryan Stiles, Colin Mochrie and Greg Proops are the best at Improv anyway :D
If they're stupid or ignorant, treat them like bug bites: If they're not bothering you, ignore them and eventually they'll be gone. If they do bother you, I'd recommend doing the same thing you do to bug bites, use something that lessens the irritation from them and ignore them the same way for the same reason.
''whop some skull on that bitch!'' was considered so rude by those pussies on Dave Tv that they edited it out on the re-run of this episode last week!
to be honest im surprised in this day and age that people are so shocked to hear things like that about the royal family, its not as if they are special people. they are no diferent to the average arsehole out walking the street, except the average arsehole out walking the street is more likely to be English and not German.
It's not exactly from this day and age, it's 20 years old. I (would at least like to) think he'd get a different reaction now. I mean, we've had one of the princes running around dressed as a Nazi (in other words in the true colors of royalty) just a couple of years ago...
To tell the truth, I'm not entirely sure myself. I've seen it as "You want some skull on that, bitch?" which sounds about right, though listening to it again, it might be "scum" instead of skull...
Hmm...I got "what/want some scut/scud on that bit." Or something like that. I know "scut", but I didn't really see how it fit in that context...oh well. :\
@SormaNo3 I thought it was "whip some skull on that bit." W.E., it's still a fellatio term, and was actually considered for an ELP album (They elected to use the alternate phrase "brain salad surgery").
To my Brit ears , it sounds like Stephen says " whop some skull on that Bitch..". Sounds like a typically naughty Stephen Fry made-up metaphor for "giving head" to me...lol
