Oh My, aren't I after laughing so hard. Spike Milligan is a treasure to be loved and honoured, Anarchic and adorable ! It takes a great people to show how wonderfully silly we all can be.
Why is he smashing the cups? Because he doesn't know how to wash up. Why is he mending them? Because we can't afford new ones. That was classic. Pure Spike. Imagine putting him on today. People are so introspective and egotistical he'd go right over their heads.
Instead of listening to pop songs when I was a kid, this was on my favourite cassette along with other tracks that were taken from the goon show broadcasts. Migrated on to Frank Sidebottom as a teenager. I was an odd child.
"Are you the Jewish mother?" "No, actually I'm a Catholic but I'll do anything for money" Nobody would get away with that these days, but people have just lost their sense of humour and get offended for the sake of being offended.
There is a direct line that can be traced from this sketch to Monty Python's Silly Olympics. It cannot be denied that Monty Python would not have existed without Spike Milligan.
I am the new improved modern man so I so very deeply offended by this so called humor, problem is I laughed so hard I was sent to the hospital for stomach repair. Thank you.
