[From "Kovacs Corner" on YouTube.com] - Ernie appears as an Arturo Toscanini-like operatic conductor with major anger management issues. Acompanying him on violin is Bobby Lauher, and on bass viol is Jolene Brand. Tonight's musical selection is "The Barber of Seville" by Gioachino Rossini.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Does anyone actually see any humour in this crap?

[rolko52]

@Peppi94 - In a word...yes!

@Peppi94 - Does anyone see any "humour" in Red Green?

The Figaro music is from The Barber of Seville by Rossini, not Mozart's Marriage of Figaro.

@Gydinglight12 I stand corrected! :-)

The more I watch this sketch, the more I see how bizarre it is! Logically, the soprano should have stopped singing when Ernie pulled the record off of the record player. Logic never applied in Kovacs' world!

Great video and typical Ernie. :)

Long before Benny Hill, & others. The late great Ernie Kovacs sure knows how to make some of the wackiest sketches ever.

I ended up at this video thanks to your using it as a video response. I so appreciate the world of Ernie Kovacs. It is absolutely great. Thanks.

@rolko52 I think you mean the bass, not the soprano. Figaro is sung by a man.

[Peppi94]

@rolko52 Not anyone with intelligence!!  :)
