British Holy Ark II request Joke

[Aquamore]

Please tell me how you rate the following humour

Holy Ark II request

One day God calls down to Noah and says, "Noah me old china, I want you to make me a new Ark".

Noah replies, "No probs God, me old Supreme Being. Anything you want. After all, you're the guv"

... But God interrupts, "Ah, but there's a catch.
"This time Noah, I want not just a couple of decks, . . I want 20 decks one on top of the other".

"20 DECKS!", screams Noah. "Well, OK Big Man, whatever you say. Should I fill it up with all the animals just like last time?"

"Yep, that's right, well . . sort of right . . this time I want you to fill it up with fish", God answers.

"Fish?", queries Noah

"Yep, fish . . well, to make it more specific Noah, I want carp wall to wall, floor to ceiling -Carp!"

Noah looks to the skies. "OK God my old mucker, let me get this right, you want a New Ark?"
"Check".

"With 20 decks, one on top of the other?".
"Check".

"And you want it full of Carp?".
"Check".

"Why?" asks the perplexed Noah, who was slowly but surely
gettingto the end of his tether..........................
scroll down everyone ! It's the best ever !!!!)

[scuberd]

now I am a big fan of british humor, monty python, mr. bean and the like but that was just not funny

[Jonathan]

be interesting to see if it was the British that saw that coming a mile away.....

On a side note - Mr Bean is not comedy, it's drivel! Now don't get me wrong I am a huge Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) fan, even seen him live, but I just can't see how that is funny?

Sorry to be in a minority of one, but I liked it. A lot. It's not just British humour. Saw it coming all right, but that is FUNNY...for my money, Monty Python's Flying Circus would have loved it.

Ahhh...Monty Python. Remember the spam song? And the dead parrot sketch? And the lumberjack song? And the 'Nudge, nudge, wink, wink' sketch? Priceless stuff! Nobody does it any more. More's the pity. :out:

I have heard/seen it imitated so many times that I don't even want to see it again

Ahhh, indeed, Irish. Pointy Mython.

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings with horned helmets on. A man and his wife enter.

Man (Eric Idle): You sit here, dear.
Wife (Graham Chapman in drag): All right.
Man (to Waitress): Morning!
Waitress (Terry Jones, in drag as a bit of a rat-bag): Morning!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings (starting to chant): Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings (singing): Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!
Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam (crescendo through next few lines)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.
Wife (shrieks): I don't like spam!
Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!
Vikings (singing): Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings (singing elaborately): Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Hmmm. I think I'm beginning to see Scuberd's point, SJ!
I used to have a number of the sketches on MP3 when napster was still going strong. Lost them all when my computer crashed and burned. Now I can begin my collection all over again, thanks to you. But it's just not the same without the strangled voices of Chapman and Jones...do you do impersonations?
BTW, if you have the words to the lumberjack song/sketch I'd like a copy! :out:

[Scuba Jim]

Leaping from tree to tree! As they float down the mighty rivers of
British Columbia! With my best girl by my side!
The Larch!
The Pine!
The Giant Redwood tree!
The Sequoia!
The Little Whopping Rule Tree!
We'd sing! Sing! Sing!


Oh, I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay,
I sleep all night and I work all day.

CHORUS: He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he eats his lunch,
He goes to the lava-try.
On Wednesdays 'e goes shoppin'
And has buttered scones for tea.

CHORUS

I cut down trees, I skip and jump,
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing,
And hang around in bars.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps,
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around.... In bars???????

CHORUS

I chop down trees, I wear high heels,
Suspendies and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie
Just like my dear papa.

Mounties: He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspendies?? and a .... a Bra????
(spoken, raggedly) What's this? Wants to be a *girlie*? Oh, My!
And I thought you were so rugged! Poofter!

CHORUS

All: He's a lumberjack, and he's okaaaaaaayyy..... (BONG)

[Irishdiver]

Sad, very sad. Even sadder than me. And the reply was instant, so you're obviously underoccupied. Do you work for the civil service by any chance? But thanks. :)

[Scuba Jim]

Actually I am waiting for my printer to stop printing and then when it has stopped printing I will start it printing again, as my printer only takes 250 sheets at a time....

Oh the drudgery of printing!

[Irishdiver]

...I wonder if we should read anything into the fact that somewhere on your PC/Mac you keep the words of a song about cross dressing...anything else interesting on your hard drive that you'd rather not tell the world about? :out:

[clive francis]

nothing like a good old play on words!

[Scuba Jim]

So you've seen the pictures of me and that sheep. Damn. A quick holiday in Wales, a few too many beers and I have to live with the shame of it for the rest of my life!

I have it in my list of favourites, sad old git that I am!

[clive francis]

i can't see how people keep saying that monty python is british humor, yes it was a fair few yews ago, but thank god we have moved on since then, Red Dwarf, Ali G, Dennis Pennis, Black Adder etc.

monty python is the most unfunny stuff i have seen

[Scuba Jim]

It is certainly British humour - after all, they weren't Chinese, were they?

Yes, some of it looks a little dated now, but their influence on future comedians is undeniable.

I am sure that all of the people on your list of funnies would put the Python team on their list of funnies.

[Irishdiver]

Thanks for the link ScubaJim. A treasure trove of memories.
There was a 'Mincing by numbers' sketch that I thought was very funny but can't seem to find on that site. Maybe it's listed under another theme? Does it ring a bell?
I don't know about MPFC being British humour, Clive, but I think it's fair to describe it as classic humour. Appeals to us oldies. :out:

Dude, what kind of TV do you get over there in the Emerald Isle?? Check out these for gut-renching laughter:

* Chewing the Fat (BBC 2)
* The Mark Thomas Comedy Product (Channel 4)
* Steve Coogan/Alan Partridge (BBC 2)
* The Day Today (BBC 2)
* Blue Jam (Channel 4)
* Brass Eye (Channel 4)
* The Office (BBC 2)
* Marion & Jeff (BBC 2)
* Peter Kelly (Channel 4)
* Ab Fab (BBC1)

Speaking of Ab Fab, that ojbect lesson in daintiness gone wrong, Rosanne Barr, bought the rights to do an Amercian version. Alas, it was deemed too rich (snorting coke, drinking vodka with Champaigne chasers at breakfast etc.) for the network's tastes and the whole venture was sh*t-canned never to see the light of day. One might have thought she'd have checked the "demographics" of her audience and, indeed, the medium through which she intended to pump same BEFORE going into bat with all that money. Ho-hum.

Unfortunately, the same thing happened to 'Men Behaving Badly' when that was bought to be made into a US version - too much sex and too much booze "for American tastes". Mind you, the TV station bosses making these decisions are the same guys that think 'Sex and the City' is a worth-while project! Go figure.......

From my time living in the US (Squaw Valley/Lake Tahoe, RPV in LA and Cocoa Beach in Florida), I seem to remeber that the only decent comedy to be found on TV was to be found on the 'Comedy Channel'.....a veritable oasis of amusement in an otherwise bland TV landscape. That said, 'SCRUBS' and 'Frasier' still amuse.

Oh, and that show 'Politically Incorrect' is NOT funny or incorrect - indeed, it's about as tame as a tame thing being caught being tame at a Tame Convention.

Safe diving all.

Thanks for the link, humour at it's best!! Does anyone remember The Goodies? This show used to crack me up; I would race home from school on Wednesdays and Thursdays to catch it - that was 22 or 23 years ago.

But as far as the original joke on this tread, I’m going to tell my 6 year old, she’ll love it.

[Scuba Jim]

I sure did!

[Aquamore]

Thank you to everyone who participated..... the joke was infact one I received from an American colleague who said I would like it because it was British Dry Humour. All I did was change the manner of conversation.

I have to be honest I didn't find it that funny (and BTW I am a Monty Python fan and have been since 1969), I just wanted to show him that generally speaking this type of play on words is not considered to be typical British humour.:)

Aquamore

Thanks for your support

Hiya Bren - I was wondering where you'd gotten to. I looked in on the YD site...looks like fun. Maybe we should organise an Irish forum in there.

As regards your list, I've got to agree that The Office is cringe-inducing stuff, beautifully observed, well acted and with supreme timing. I love Steve Coogan for the same reason. Brass Eye is razor sharp, but Ab Fab is Ab Flab and past its sell-by date. Sorry. I like Scrubs because it's blackly funny but Frasier is rather more cerebral. Haven't seen the rest so can't comment.

Nothing I have seen recently is as subversive as Monty Python - with the honourable exception of Ali G - Wikkid!. For my money, Monty was light years ahead of the pack at the time and still is. :out:

Got to agree with your last line mate.

And to the Canuck who likes 'The Goodies' - yes, absolutely staple watching when we were kids (I'm 37). But do you know, that that show/series has NEVER been repeated on TV since it was 1st shown - in the UK at least, can't speak for Canada.

Dive safe troops.

Problem with the play on words (the strength of the joke).
Most of the board members are N. American and you don't leave your car in a car park there. They're called parking lots. I often forget this when I go back that way and people look at me funny when I ask "is there a car park nearby?" They probably imagine motor vehicles on swings and seesaws.

there was a funny as hell programme on friday night, a commedian with a neck brace, can't remember his name now, but we were laughing so much, my wife almost went into labor!

for those that saw it the best part was when the bear was interviewing liberty x!

[Irishdiver]

I see that Ali G has made a big impression in the US - mostly negative, though - with his new show, which started last week.

In one interview Cohen, as Ali G, puts questions to former CIA director James Woolsey. "Let's talk about some conspiracy things. Let's go back to the grassy knoll," he says. "Who actually shot JR?"
In another spoof interview during the show, the former US attorney general Richard Thornburgh is asked: "So when's it all right to murder someone?" Mr Thornburgh, shocked, replies: "Never". Ali G persists: "But what if de call your ma a ho?"

Me, I think that's funny. Have the folks over in the States lost their ability to laugh at themselves?

Noah replies, "No probs God, me old Supreme Being. Anything you want. After all, you're the guv"

"Fish?", queries Noah

"Yep, fish . . ."




This reminds me of a story my dad told me about a fishing trip.

He was out fishing, and could not remember if he had his license along. As he got out his wallet, it fell out of the boat. He was going to try to scoop it up with his net, when a carp grabbed it out of the water.

The carp spit out the wallet, but another carp quickly grabbed it. This continued for a while... one carp would grab it, then spit it to another carp. It was the first time my dad ever saw carp to carp walleting.

Ummm...yes, Father Ted was excellent. But I think that was IRISH humour, unless I'm mistaken?
Regardless, enjoy. As Fr Dougal once (more or less) said: 'Sure, you're not supposed to take all that religious stuff seriously, Ted'.

Come on lads and lasses, you must know by now that us Brits have an amazing sense of humour, there are so many British shows that have been adapted for the USA market. Closer to home all you have to do is look at our Prime Minister (need i say more) has any one seen Fawlty Towers. I think that British and American comedy is just differient, a lot of British stuff has Innuendos (think i've spelt it right!) which at times can be lost on other nations. maybe i am compleatly wrong! but hay! its my opinion.

[BCBUBBLES]

I thought the ark was hilarious. Nearly pee'd myself laughing! Also kudos to diver jim for the flashback to great python bits!!! But not all us BC'ers are lumberjacks. Just most!! LMAO. Do any of the UK'ers here know where I can find a site for an older (?) BBC comedy show called "Chewing the Fat"? I got a copy downloaded to disc from a friend when I was in Scotland, but cant play it here. Got people just giving me that funny look when I try to describe the show to them! Thx if anyone can help!
