Dame Edna to Retire

Barry Humphries is hanging up the rhinestone specs. I used to love staying up late to howl at the Dame Edna shows, so I find this sad news, but as Barry is almost 80 I suppose we can grant him some rest. This is just one of Everage’s comedic techniques, which have occasionally spurred controversy, [...]

Alan at the Olympics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnUNZs42GzYIn honour of the Olympics, I offer the timeless (and clueless) presentation of Alan Partridge at the opening ceremonies. Luckily, I don’t get NBC, so as far as I know, the horrible stream-of-consciousness drivel spouted here is a satire on mindless American TV hosts.

Tom Lehrer – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
