LOL! You have to be a Monty Python freak to get that one. One of the silly non sequiturs they would use between sketches was cutting to a TV newscaster who would say something akin to "It's 12 O'clock. Time for the penguin on top of your TV set to blow up." They'd cut to some dumpy couple, or little old lady, sitting in front of a TV watching the announcer who just made the statement, and this silly ugly penguin statue sitting on top of the TV would explode. Much funnier than my dumb description. I'm actually surprised Ken had any idea what I was talking about. Much too young.

Ahh, thank you. Thought I watched a lot of Monty Python but apparently not enough. Or maybe I don't remember... none of my friends seem to remember a lot from "the Python years".

ROTFLMAO! Boy do I know EXACTLY what you mean. The 1970s are just one big smoky haze. Whew! I have since recovered.

My Dad's a big Python fan. He's read one of the penguin sketches to me.

I have the series on DVD. Worth getting, since it came out a few years ago and the price has fallen.

There's a penguin on the telly.

What's it doing there?

Standing.

Brilliant sketch ("Burma!")

and it was an educational series too! where else could you learn self-defense against fresh fruit?

Jack,

I knew what you were talking about...

It appears others did as well...

"What's a penguin doin' on the telly?...I do believe he's standin'..."

"He's not dead...He's pinin'..."

Anyone for "The Goodies"?

WhatFurrer

"What if heez got a pointed stick?"

I really tried hard to not participate in this hijack, but I succumbed!

"Twit of the Year" was one of many favorites of mine!

And now, for something completely different, a man with three buttocks.
