"Wankel Rotary Engine"

C) Good evening.

That would be a good trivia question for Pythonites—on the original album the final "good evening" links up with the "Book at Bedtime" sketch, and on the Final Rip-Off compilation, it links to the "Australian Table Wine" sketch.

I don't think I know the former. Is that Idle reading children's stories that take rather adult twists?

Basically, but it's Cleese instead and he just reads what Idle only allowed us to imagine in the show. It's only about 10 seconds but we find out what happens with the melon.

Something ribald, I hope!

And that's how we do shit 'round here! (That joke will be completely lost on an entire generation who hasn't a clue who Martin Lawrence is.)

Joe Rogan didn't realize his newsradio character was supposed to be a joke so just went on and built the rest of his career around being that guy but for real.

I really liked this show, for many reasons, the Jimmy James character was hilarious. I agree with you about Rogan, he was good in the show but in the real world of today he is such a blithering idiot, he IS Joe Garrelli and that really pisses me off. While knowing his assholi-ness doesn't ruin the show for me, now when I watch the show it's kinda always there hovering in the back of my mind. The last season (without Hartman and with Lovitz) was weak and I almost wish they didn't make that final season, but overall I really liked this show a lot. Also, Maura Tierney was very attractive to my eyes. lol

She's still good looking and is a great actor. Watch The Affair, if you can stomach how intense it is. It's also got Ruth Wilson, one of my faves.

I wonder if Andy Dick is looking at the Joe Rogan/Spotify shitfest and thinking, "I'm no longer the most embarrassing cast member."
