LOL floyd is hilarious

[retroflashbackdude]

Why did Richard Pryor flake on the show?

[maziebunny2]

@retroflashbackdude he had an accident...he burned himself while freebasing cocaine.

I think the number with the whales inspired a childrens' book. :)

Chris was behind a LOT of the weirdness of the 5th Season, wasn't he?

[mistofoles]

I thought goldfish were freshwater fish?

[mistofoles]

Kinda ironic Chris Langham should guest-star on a childrens' show, following the recent alligations about him..

[Stephen10528]

The best scene from the episode, of course, is the whale one.

Bernie Brillstein was Jim Henson's agent.

I know Chris Langham's a British writer and comedian...he was also in Monty Python's The Life of Brian as one of Pontius Pilate's guards. In fact, Michael Palin is talking to him in the Biggus Dickus scene: "Do you find it risible when I mention the name Biggus Dickus?"

[NaiTaiDai]

"Heheheheheheheh....That's not funny."

"It says 'Oh no, I'm not. And you can't make me'."

[DarthWill3]

"Blubber blubber blubber!" That bit always cracks me up!

W: Did you know that the peanut is one of the world's richest sources of protein?

S: Oh. Well, Chris Langham will be glad. At least he'll die HEALTHY.

Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!!!

We all need healthy actors nowadays.

@DarthWill3 absolutely. especially when Chris Langham stepped at the last minute to guest star after Richard Pryor's accident.

[DarthWill3]

@maziebunny2 Yep!

[collgoff]

@maziebunny2 Because Richard Pryor can't make it. Right?
