I had an advisor at Uni who did this. His catchphrase was "or something of that nature.". I should also add that he was a c%^t. There, that felt good.
It's so funny it's tragic because this is basically how it is in many pitch meetings I've been in. And I agree, these guys are so Monty Python and just as good.
@stopthesoftkill and you know something about producing content for major media outlets how? or do you just think that highly of yourself, and the mediocre position you fill in some back room of the bbc?
@anglofiles87 I think stopthesoftkill is trying to make a joke about what happened in the sketch, although it might have been easier if he/she had said *or don't imagine*
This is exactly, and I mean at parts verbatim, what conversations with my doctoral dissertation chair were like. Have an email from her that includes the phrase "or, not."
Above, we see the wee free monkey's in their natural habitat working hard at hardly working.
*"ooh's" and "aah's" are heard from the African safari looking truck (only, it has a big sign on the side making sure you know that you are in fact touring the wonders of Maureen's mind).*
hahaha! wow! thats so random and cool! i could see python doing a sketch like that back in the day-this is easily just as good and thats saying something! mitchell and webb are fantastic comediens :D
