I'm not giving you much to work with on this, but hopefully someone'll know. I've been googling and haven't had any luck.

It's a skit from the series (I think) and all I can remember is that one of them is dressed as a woman, and I think she's supposed to be some sort of TV host. She's sitting in a chair, and the phone next to her keeps ringing and she's getting frustrated. The last time she answers it, she says something to the effect of "Hello, I think you've got the wrong number" and a giant glove or hand punches her in the face, knocking her over. It cuts fast to another skit. It's been over ten years since I've seen it, but I'm trying to find it for a really lame inside joke for the other person who saw it with me at the time.

Anything?

Also, I can't remember if it's an actual large hand/glove or if it was one of their illustrations. UGH!

I will ask my friend who will probably know.

Sorry.

MissMe said:

Thanks. It's alright, I've been trying to find it for years. God forbid I just sit down and watch all the damn seasons.


SOMEBODY, PLEASE!!!!

INSATIABLE said:

Why?

MissMe said:

Why am I trying to find it?

My little stepsis and I were watching it one day. I had to have been about 13, which made her 8. She laughed so hard at that sketch that she choked on her popcorn, stood up to get water, and while laughing, tripped over the coffee table and bumped her head, breaking her Discman and spilling a 2-liter of soda on my stepmom's brand new persian rug--which caused me to laugh uncontrollably. I think I even peed a little. It's just a really funny memory and I'd love to send it to her.

I hate Monty Python.

Sorry he can't help.

INSATIABLE said:

But I love the story!

Are you wearing your poppy with pride?

it must be from a tv episode, sounds like one of those quick in between things between sketches... dunno

ufoclub said:

Yeah, it was definitely a really short bit. I'm afraid I'll never find it.

INSATIABLE said:

I don't think wearing a poppy signifies anything except pious self-satisfaction/collective guilt/pack mentality. It's the thinking man's crucifix.

Number23 said:

Funny how something so intentionally 'conscious' reflects more of a reptilian urge to belong. What about people who are afraid to remove hats, though? What do you think that means?

INSATIABLE said:

Baldness, usually. In my case, aching fear of imperfection. Which is rich considering my face.

I don't understand Monty Python both in terms of the surrealness of some of their sketches and the humour. 'The Life Of Brian' is funny though.

Number23 said:

I don't believe you.

JDInteractive said:

Your assistance is deeply appreciated. I really owe you one.

INSATIABLE said:

There's no need to be so curt, the thread wasn't developing anywhere.

JDInteractive said:

I just think it's shit. Public schoolboys flashing their willies. It's very much of its time. Even Life Of Brian angers me. The flippancy, the oh-so-wacky oh-so-daring backslapping in-joke camadrie, the Englishness, the shitty script, the wkward improvisations, the charisma fefinct cast, the obviousness, the one joke ridden all the way to the end, the haircuts...

JDInteractive said:

CURT.

Christ, somebody get JD a handjob, stat. You're living in the birthplace of sarcasm yet you take everything so goddamned personal.

Number23 said:

Anything having a go at organised religion is a good thing I think. 'The Holy Grail' is more reason to be vexed. I didn't like the cleverness of the improvised coconuts for horse clops.

Number23 said:

This is a running theme with you.

General, broadsweeping disdain, I mean. It hurts sometimes to be so aware and intelligent, eh? Believe me, I'm right there with you.

INSATIABLE said:

I wasn't being sincere in the slightest. Yet if you want to get downright unpleasant and personable I'll leave you alone.

JDInteractive said:

We've done this before, haven't we?

JDInteractive said:

Ignoring organised religion completely makes more sense to me. Either that or kill all mentally ill sky-god believers and burn every text and reference in a big fire. Any other opinion is just sitting on the fence and that's just as bad as falling to your knees for an obviously evil deity.

INSATIABLE said:

I'm not intelligent. I'm a gun.

I'd like to take this time to thank Billy and John in assisting in my search.
