With a rub-a-dub-dub and a scrub-a-dub-dub, I'd sing this merry song."
That sounds like an existential contradiction. If Dim were a window cleaner, he wouldn't sing this song about how he wishes he were a window cleaner, because he'd actually be one.
It's not a complete existential contradiction because it is possible (however daft) to wish to be something you already are (assuming that being the same thing twice is redundant).
Why did deadparrot77 cut the posted video right before the knight followed through with the chicken-slapping? Or did that happen in the actual sketch?
You're right. After taking a closer look, I realized that the end-of-video related-videos panel appears too quickly to get a good look at the last half-second.
Cleese is brilliant, "with a chuff chuff chuff and a chuff chuff chuff ........ chuff? .......whooo?" love at the end, he is like "chuff (no?)..... whoo (no?)" hehe
No, sorry it's more like.. "with a chuff, chuff, chuff. With a chuff..chuff?...
chuff..." *SACK*

The words are: if I were not in the CID I would like to be a window cleaner. There´s nothing else to it semantically.

I'm not complaining. I like existential contradictions. I think they're funny.
I have never heard the term "existential contradiction" in my life.
