Mist All Chucking Frighty!!!; Spoonerisms Extravaganza

This was allegedly shown on BBC TV back in the 70's.
Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger, though
after what knows how many takes.

The irony is, BBC received not one complaint.

The speed of delivery must have been too much for the
whining herds. Try getting through it without converting the
spoonerisms [and not wetting your pants] as you read.......

This is the story of Rindercella and her Sugly Isters.

Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion.
Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying
poss pits, and shivelling shot. At the end of the day, she was
knucking fackered.

The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called
Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they
were really forrible huckers; they had fetty sweet and fatty
swannies.

The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton
runts would not let Rindercella go.

Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother
appeared ... Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a
light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite
wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys
who had buge hollocks and dig bicks. The gairy fodmother
told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there
would be a cucking falamity.

At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome
hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all
chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out
tripping barse over ollocks, so dropping her slass glipper.

The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on
Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in. Suddenly,
Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart.

"Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince. "Blame that
fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge.

When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass
glipper on both the sugly isters without success (and their
feet stucking funk).

Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the
prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not
difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He
tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking
ferfectly.

Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The
pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and
Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny!

Maybe this is one of those "guess you had to hear it" moments?

To be fair, it is 'very British' humour,
perhaps having greater appeal to
those whose ethnicity leans that way.

Yeah, the trick is to read it aloud, rapidly while sporting a contrived, heavy British accent...though I also tried it with a thick German accent, which was even funnier.

On second thought, Fuck that. Americans prefer it when our comedians just cuss, flat out. We are a raw, gritty lot, at times.

Somehow or other, the concluding statement doesn't
necessarily follow on from the proposition - for me.

That's because of the way your "ethnicity leans" as you called it. ;)

What I meant was that American comedians have a long tradition of using "raw and gritty" material, combining political and social commentary with satirical humour. They don't use spoonerisms, they use the actual cuss words.

Lenny Bruce was the forerunner of this style of comedy(late 50's/early 60's), but you can see his influence in later American comics, esp. Pryor, Carlin, Kinison, and more recently C. Rock, Chapelle, Stanhope, just to name a few.

But me, I don't discriminate. I enjoy humour that is ..um...funny. I happen to love British humour. There's a strong sense of the absurd in it, which I find appealing.

Some comedians seem to use a hybrid of both styles of comedy ...Izzard, Gervais(UK) and Chapelle(US) spring to mind.
--
In honor of Lenny Bruce...a quote... There are no cuss words in it, but I thought it was amusing:

"If Jesus had been killed 20 years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses."

Yes, my leanings are towards the subtle,
the satirical and the innuendo. I enjoyed
the few bits of George Carlin I've seen.
Ricky Gervais, too. But I draw a parallel
between humour and debate.

In debate, when one debases oneself by
name-calling, swearing and ad hominem
remarks, one has lost the debate - mostly.

Humour seems much the same. The 'need'
to stoop to a succession of four-letter
expletives degrades the humour and the
humorist - generally. To call it raw and
gritty
seems to me to be a eumphemism
for vulgar and crass.

As I've observed before, it seems that the
'jokes' foisted on many USAmericans via
TV are so bad that a laugh machine is
needed to lead them, as the humour is
indiscernable, otherwise.

That's plain scary.

Generally, I would agree with that, except to say that there is a definite distinction between "raw and gritty" and "vulgar and crass" though the two can certainly overlap.

"Raw and gritty" refers to a certain style of comedy that stems from New York comedy clubs. Many famous American comics are from New York...or have spent time there working the comedy clubs trying to make a name for themselves, but the raw New York style of humour isn't dependant upon cussing to be funny, It just so happens that many New York comics speak very directly and many of them cuss alot. If that's all they had to offer they, they would be booed off the stage. The competition is tough.

What I find appealing about New York, "gritty" humor is that many of the comics offer insights into social institutions, such as religions, government, in ways that not only makes people laugh, it makes them think...and sometimes say inwardly, "Yeah, that's true, I never thought of it that way." ...

Perhaps, some people underestimate the power of comedy, satire for social change..? ...I'm not one of those people.

It's inherent in the nature of true artists
to reveal things about our mundane world
that we'd miss, not appreciate or simply
ignore, ordinarily.

With that I concur, unreservedly.

Hmmm. This is a little too Folk Loreish for my palette. I know Ronny Barker and he was a wizard with words and their pisromunciation. But he never said these words and it certainly was never broadcast.

He was far to clever a wordsmith to be caught with anything so openly suggestive.

I added the word 'allegedly' to
