Monty Python: "Bicycle Repairman"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxfzm9dfqBw
At a former job, I always used to say "it's all in a day's work for bicycle repairman" to my boss--because I'm a d-bag.
I just happened to think of that skit today.
These guys were simply off their collective rockers.
I also like that Cleese's rant at the end sounds like a Town Hall meeting now. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/crazy-18.png)
You've just made my night! "Look at how he uses that spanner..." When I was a mechanic, one of the sales guys used to wear a Superman T-shirt to work and we scribbled "Mr. F.G Superman" across the back. Not many people got it, but those who did thought it was great.

<-- still a part-time bicycle repairman, but no one @ the current gig would get the reference. Glad you did. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/cool-18.png)
Bwahahaha! Awesome! I've always loved Monty Python, and hadn't seen this one in ages. I will have to share with my coworkers in the repair department at work tomorrow.![](/media/img/icons/smilies/laugh-18.png)
I tried to laugh, but I just couldn't. I've never been able to watch Monty Python or 3 stooges and laugh. I just don't think it's funny.
Now, Dumb and Dumber, that's comedy genius!

I've modeled my 10 year bicycle repair man career after that skit. I do a silly walk across the parking lot too. ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/crazy-18.png)
OK, I'm sorry. Who on this board HASN'T had some sort of extensive career in bicycle repair? Am I the only one?! ![](/media/img/icons/smilies/cool-18.png)
Dude(s). I just can't laugh at Monty Python. The tabacconist (sp) skit made the right 1/4 of my mouth smile for milliseconds straight but that's about it. Benny Hill can't do it for me either.
Now Brian Regan, that's funny!

I just did it as a joke but they're going out like that." You ever know anybody to eat a half a cup of ice cream? "Hey, you wanna go grab something to eat?" "Ah, no. I had a half a cup of ice cream. Ya, a whole half a cup. I just kept eating and eating and eating. I must've had two spoonfuls."
