It got predictable pretty soon, but really funny and really well done. SNL still has it, but not very often IMO.

Unavailable in Indonesia.
 
It's the 52nd anniversary of the whale explosion in Oregon. It's likely somewhere in these 18 pages but it's worth revisiting a true classic.

I just saw this clip with Bill Bailey about British happiness.
Very funny! 🙂

Maybe e.g. @pinball1970 can confirm the accuracy? 🙂

In Britain we process happiness... differently, Bill Bailey - BBC

Very funny. I think the "Not too bad," is a working class 1950's sort of thing.
I hear a lot of the older guys say it to each other.

I like these kind of stands (well, I'm not exactly sure about the classification), but around here the first minute would make that stand closed in any half-decent food security supervision :woot:

So they are heads at the beginning? What is 1.34 in the boxes? Is that squid?

I up voted as informative not like necessarily as it looks like he makes stock out of the heads.
It looks and sounds great though.

Dry British humor. Very dry.


Brilliant. I think she had Brian Cox in mind, a little bit of science talk then STRAIGHT to location!

I just love this video! Many of the greatest singers from the 60s, 70s, and 80s all came together for a common cause. The cause was great but what a precious bit of performance history they left as well. I can't think of any other effort that brought so much talent together for one song. It is a breathtaking list with many of the greatest modern music artists from that time.

And how did Dan Aykroyd get in there?!?! LOL!
