"well it's always very difficult to say what prompt anybody to do anything let alone getting underwater and teaching ravens to fly" LOL

As to why ravens need to fly underwater, it's a mystery best left to the angels.

@theodoremarvel Thanks, I'll look for it!

Woody is essential. Marx are magnificent. But I'm impressed somebody mentioned John Turturro in Brain Donors. Holy shit. It's rare, but he's also impressive in SEARCH FOR ONE-EYE JIMMY.

True genius! Had the pleasure of seeing them live in Australia reckon early 70's think it may have been at the Chevron. Have been a fan ever since and often quote some of their best pieces. Pity about most of today's stuff - really crook compared to these guys.

@sfshinz Benny Hill was British, and his humour in The Benny Hill Show was sexist, and would not be allowed today.

@TheTimLG Benny Hill? Lenny Bruce?

Sir Arthur had permanent tenure as an academic.As you can deduce from this interview, his stellar career was not in any way shape or form, the result of nepotism or the much maligned, I think unfairly, stratified class system in the U.K. TTFN.

@ashburnhouse Are you saying Seinfeld is comparable to Cook? And Woody got old fast with his delivery, Groucho Marx is much better and infact I think so was John Turturro in the movie Brian Donors. Way funnier than what Woody could hope to be. Actually if Turturro did more movies like that he might even be my fave American comedian. I'd then put him up with the Brit greats anyday.

Brilliant!
British humour has a long tradition of absurdity. Milligan, Tommy Cooper, Monty Python and even early Billy Connolly. American humour (in general) seems so mundane in comparison.

"She said Arthur, if you don't get underwater, and start teaching ravens to fly, i'll smash your stupid face off."
Classic. XD
