It's a mickey-take. You are allowed to take the proverbial out of people, no matter how talented- remember that John Lennon was still very much alive and his public pronouncements had been a bit odd ever since he had met Yoko Ono.
"I'd like to tell a moment by me, and this dissociates our church from these, frivolous, and offensive religions. We, are primarily concerned with what is best.....
(phone rings)
'Ello? Oh..... (picks up newspaper).... Well how 'bout Allied Breweries?...... Alright but keep for Rio Tinto.
for those who know that the cartoon at the end was cut short due to 'offensive' material, if you listen carefully after the cartoon priest nails his head, you can just hear him say 'now' because he was supposed to continue talking. Anyone elso notice that?
I didn't notice that, but when I saw the full video (it was here but was taken out), at the last part where they fast forward everything for those who had missed the show I saw one part of after that cartoon priest. What was the offensive material you said?
"You have won tonight's star prize, the entire Norwich City Council!"
"I've got one already."
They just don't write 'em like that anymore. Pure comedy gold.
