Gosh, that is so, insensible!

"I'm looking for a record for my nephew, I don't know who it's by or what it's called, but it's got a green cover." Yes, very helpful. "I'm after a record I heard on the radio this morning, it goes - *hums tunelessly* - do you know the one I mean?"

Can you elaborate?

I've worked in a record shop and a book shop, and Marty's questions here are sensible compared to some of the stupid shit people used to ask me.

First saw this sketch on At Last the 1948 Show and loved it. A few years later, i bought the soundtrack LP album which also had it on it. Unfortunately the BBC disposed or wiped its tapes of the show and it no longer exists in video form. But it's wonderful to see this recreation with Marty Feldman again. Thanks a lot! (The 1948 Show really was the blueprint for Python and a wonderful show).

Fact: Edmond Wells is a John Cleese impersonator.

Now that's comedy! Not that family guy shit.

[Titus Yorick]

This is classic comedy right here. I loved it when Monty Python did it and Marty Feldman does it just as good.

Oh yes, I have it, but unfortunately it lacks this sketch. Apparently, the video of it no longer exists, only the audio.
