Snuff Box: F**k You

It's the lonely island and the lion's podcast! Uh, hey dudes, how's it going? Hi, sir. Hi, happy Saturday. A happy Saturday, uh, no Andy, let me just say, I want to just shout out huge congrats on last week's episode, um, really, as a listener, absolutely loved it. Seth, you're such a sarcastic person, it's hard, like I'm always like, is he serious? No, no. I'm glad you're asking if I'm serious. I'm dead serious. I really love the pot a lot. Um, somebody did say, uh, it's fun to hear the pod when point Dexter, Seth, isn't raining in the big dogs. That's fine. I just want you guys to know that's not my goal to be a point Dexter who's raining in the bid dog and, uh, and listening, I love listening to those dogs go crazy. Just loved it. But then I took issue with this, Keith, because somebody said, I love Seth. Thank you. But it's so nice to get an episode where the first 20 minutes isn't just reading comments. I'm pretty sure the first 20 minutes was you just reading that comment about, uh, dude who counted the dookies. Yeah. I think it was. It was just that Yorm was also playing his homemade sound effects. Yeah. Which were fantastic. But I think we, yeah, I was just reading it. You did a lot of work. I mean, to be honest, I don't know if, like, if I had been, uh, diving that episode, I don't know if I would have spent as much time on the dookie email. Well, I just really wanted to dive in. I was so impressed with Jonathan's work. Yeah. Did you know that Jonathan did, uh, hear the request for the actual count of the dookies and that he sent them in? Oh, good. Good. Thank you, Jonathan. Yorm, do you want to take a guess? Uh, what am I guessing? Well, you had the most of the dookies. Oh, good. And who do you think was next? Me or Andy? Well, actually, we know that from last week. Okay. Then I'm going to guess that I said it 64 times. That's my guess. You said it 35 times. Fuck. Fuck, I got it wrong. Yeah. Jonathan in the 40s, because Howard Parker got in the 40s and he was number one. Andy said it 28 times. I'm looking here, too. Howard Parker wrote us a very nice email. I think he was pretty, pretty psyched that he, uh, he was so lovingly on the dookie. Did you reach out to him or did it get to him organically through the quates? I did some due diligence on this one. I actually went through his reps to get to him and then never actually got his number. So we were just communicating through his very nice reps and, uh, but you got a sweet later quates from him. It was really good. That was a surprise to me when I was going through the episode to give notes and I'll send there it was and it was such a treat. I sort of wanted you guys to actually listen to it when I was airing, but, you know, whatever. That's what I, well, that's what I mean. I heard it in the final thing. Wait, Seth, can I push back on calling us big dogs? Sure. I think it's a little closer to three, three old dealers. Three old dealers. Yeah. Into the movie, old dealers. I was going to say we're like three little yippy dogs next to you and you're, you're like a jack-reacher dog, you know, next to us. I would say I'm more, I would say I'm like an overworked dog walker. That's right. Trying to pull back the leashes. Maybe like a struggling actor who's like paying the bills by doing a little dog walking and it's just like me with like three, three Ippers on the street, and I'm like late to my audition. Yeah, we're all going in different directions and you're like, I just got to get them back to the house. So I can leave for my audition. Cause I got a summer stock audition and I really need it. Yo, that's hella accurate. By the way, speaking of the doogies, Jeremy James, I'm going to shout him out after a long brutal day that culminated in a 230 AM commute home. I popped on the pod and when Akiva asked how many doogies were said in total, I yelled out 127. Imagine my surprise and horror that I was correct with no one to bear witness to the finest achievement of my adult life. I get that man. That must have been a haunting moment. Why? Do you think it was? Why win 27? It's just, I don't know. It does sound like a number that pops into your head the way 17 does. What's a comedy number? Like that 127 hours in that James Franco comedy. Yeah. I don't know that it's a comedy set. But it is. Well, it leads back to that. It is not the one where he guy eats his own. Was he? Yes, he eats his own arms. He has to chop it off. Yeah. That's not a comedy. He doesn't eat it. Does he? Does he eat his own? No. He cuts it off with like a very dull blade. I did a comedy pass where he ate it and they, they didn't do it. They're like, we'll pay you. But we're not sure if you get what this movie's going for. He got home and he was like, I had to cut off my own arm and then I ate it. And everybody's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What like we get? Why you cut it off? Why would she? What was the second part? Can I tell a story that I'm not going to name names with a friend of mine did tell me that their dad died, but he got run over by a herd of wildebeests. And it's just hard when you say that to somebody because like then you have to be like, it's not actually funny. And then the whole time you're like, well, but it is though. Like yeah. And by the way, if you're your friend that that happened to, he probably has a second friend that it also happened to. But don't. Don't do that. I like. So that's not judge. Keep making your voice specific. Your arms like my ADHD letting loose screaming call and now get a free t-shirt. And Andy is like my OCD panicking about the possibility of getting in legal trouble screaming. We don't have any t-shirts or any way of sending them to you. This is this person's two diagnosis. Just battle. Yeah, that's it too. And I say, battering that on top. It's good to have both. I think it's good to both. 100%. There's pills for both. Oh, speaking of horror, have you guys seen, you guys, I know you're easily spooked. Have you guys seen obsession? Oh my god. I literally pushed our release date because of that movie because I was like, oh shit, this is coming. This is fucking great. It's fucking great. Keep it. Have you seen obsession? No, no. Too spooky for me. Thank you so much. Oh my god. I will say there's a way to watch it. Keep where it's a little bit less spooky. And you are. I don't know if you notice this. The main character. Andy's character. A little bit of a Trina. There's a little bit of Thomas. And I'm not giving away what she's doing as an L to see some of us know October or something of Halloween. Is that announced? Do you remember you two saying more things on the pod? You're not allowed to say anything. No, it's announced. I was thought she was going to be the season premiere after this summer. They always choose the, I like to call it the Napoleon Dynamite of the summer to get in there. Right. But I guess Jalen's also the Napoleon Dynamite of the summer. And in basketball, Schumacher was saying the other day, basketball hosts have to be the season premiere. Oh, because of when they have to go back to work. Right. Basically the season, the basketball season is probably the most overlap with the S and O season. What if Andy started playing basketball then it would be a toss up, right? Yeah, yeah. That would be a problem. As far as who you go with. She looks like she's 4/11. Yeah, she'd be a real movie. I think she's 5 feet tall, yeah. She's so great in the movie. And I do believe like a lot of horror movies have the same moves in them as comedies, which is just heightening and beats and a great surprise. But it is, I don't know whether Trina will be scarier watch moving forward or if obsession will be found here to watch. But again, not giving anything away from the plot that you don't know, you know, she becomes obsessed, right? Yeah. I know the basics. And it makes sense. Yeah. And she's like, comma. I'm going to kill you. No. It's like, no, you're mad at me. Oh, no, no. Yeah, yeah. I've seen it. Yeah. The fucking scene where she's asleep and then is like fucking hell, holy shit. This is fucking skin. Oh my God. Again, once again, Keith, I'm like, so careful not to give anything away about the plot. You're tiptoeing, tiptoeing about it. And then he just checks to make sure you've seen it to just say something you've already seen. Could've just said. And then also like, he said he was too chicken shit to watch it. So like an act three turn. Mm-hmm. Like just like I'm like, hey, I want to be gentle with this because I appreciate it. I think obsession has been out long enough. It's fair game. It might have been a midpoint to be fair. I think it's a little bit later. It's great. It's also very popular. Everybody saw it. So I think it's okay. That's true. I guess. Yeah. What's the number? What's the box office number where you're like, oh, dude, I'm sorry. I'm allowed to talk about this. We don't have a monoculture anymore. And so when a movie makes this much money, we're allowed to talk about it. Yeah. Whatever it is, it's what obsession hits. So we can look that up and have the number. Yeah. That's your answer. Everybody enjoyed "Dinkton the Doink" off the top of the last pod, Keeve. Oh. We're really-- Oh, is that what we-- "Dinkton the Doink" is when you use music, and therefore we did not get the ad of a copyright strike. And so we-- Yeah. And also they just put ads everywhere that we wouldn't put. So we're really hoping Nick and the dictionary has added "Dinkton the Doink." If that is still a robust sort of online resource. I got a little burned because my one appearance in the last pod was reading ads. There was an ad where I had to read some, you know, some of those long, multi-assilable drug names. And someone's comment was that I read it like a fifth grader, seeing it for the first time, and then just was like, "Yeah, that's good enough." That sounds-- I didn't hear your ad, but that sounds like it's probably a very accurate description of what happened. So obsession did make 519 million worldwide. I think that the bar is actually lower than that. I think 250. I think 250. Yeah. Yeah. Spoilers. But it's also about time because there could be like a spider-man that makes that opening weekend. And I don't think we can ruin it the next weekend. Right. Time. It's time and money. Yeah. Anyway, the best part is when she's in bed. Oh, Jesus. She's asleep. Yeah. And then she's like-- And you don't have to ruin it for everybody. Do you realize that she's actually like, this is [bleep] like, yeah, and the [bleep] sleep. So she's like, "Please." And you're like, "Oh, fucking." Okay. So 520, it came out May 15th. So it's also been, you know-- It's totally in the clear. Four months. Yeah. But it's the rule. It's 250 and four months. It's $250 million plus four months. It's official. It's an official rule. Uh, I do just want to circle back up the criticism that I read that had once and then was like, it's fine. I did. That's 100% true. But I have three different times been asked by our producers to re-record the name of one of the drugs. And you did re-record three times? And this was the result of that? Yeah. And the result of that? Yeah. So there's one that all of a sudden, like, the sound quality seems different. It's that, uh, I just can't get it right. By the way. - Keith, I've desperately been trying to make good points in the hope that Yorm brought his soundboard. - And that was one for you, I would get a-- - Yeah, I mean, 'cause last week I was listening and I'm like, "I wonder if like, "Yorm knew I wasn't gonna be here." Or did he just not even plan? - I think Seth, if I'm being honest, Seth, I think that I was like nervous that you would judge me. You know what I mean? - Oh my god. - I mean, it's still waiting for me to drop any second, but I know, I feel like he just, it's like he doesn't. - I think he's having a good-- - It's like he threw it away. - Oh, nice joke. They barely play through the Zoom, the Zoom likes filtering 'em. - Yeah. - But I did hear something nice joke and now Yorm's losing it again, so you know it played good. - Okay, so now I realize, so this is a whole bit that is more fun to listen to as a listener or the final product, as we barely hear it. - And nothing for Seth. - You didn't do a Seth one, huh? - Look, I'll make one for you next time, Seth. - Maybe. - Really? Okay, I mean, just know I'd really like one. You had another, you said probably Chris under your breath and none of the other two, Calvin's heard it. - No. In relation to Chris, the person I'm sure. - Oh, yeah. - Or Chris, Chris, Adam. - All right, so I got this one. Larry Morgan from K-Rock in Los Angeles. That's the radio station. Per the recent Zach looks for new assistant app. I checked the audio library for K-Rock and all I could find was this. Ready? - Hey, we're the lonely island, I'm Andy. - I'm Yorma. - And I'm Akiva. - And you're listening to Kevin and Bean on K-Rock. - And the morning. - It's pretty good. - It's really good. - But that's a real one. That makes sense. So he had access, Larry had access to K-Rock's library. And that clearly, we didn't put that one together. We were on the morning show and they asked us for a drop. - You know what, when you were about to play that though, what I thought it was gonna be is them apologizing to us for not using that theme song that we made for them. - Yeah, guys, we're so sorry. - Still waiting, still waiting, guys. - They might have used it. We don't really know. - That's true. I didn't listen to everyone. - Yorma, you pointed out that you think that the zoo crew, the morning zoo crew, that we made the battling ones where we were mean to one of the people, and nice to the other one, was a Florida radio station. - I think it was. We were traveling around for a believe pop star, I think. And we were at a lot of, I don't wanna say random places, but I don't think it was like a fully syndicated national show. - We definitely went to Tampa, 'cause we went to the college. - You was either that, or maybe we were in Philadelphia. It might have been Philadelphia. - This is gonna be hard to track down. Try Philadelphia, guys. But that was a nice little Kevin and B1. Thank you, Larry. - Yeah, really fun. - Hey, somebody had the-- - Can we see if I can do this? - Real quick. - This was the Snort Index from the last episode. - Oh no. - All right, so if you click 'em, we'll hear each snort. - Let's see, these are the timestamps of the Snorts. It's Saturday morning, and see if there's any suspicious news articles, all right? Did that count? - No, that wasn't a strong snort. - I didn't see that. - It was kind of a breathy scoff. Damn. - Well, for instance, oh, that was a really good one. Did you hear that one? - Yeah, I can hear it. - That's a real yarn. Did you hear that? The snort? - No. No, I couldn't hear it. Oh, boy. By the way, my daughter Addy snorts all the time because she watches Peppa Pig, so she's just snorting around the house. - Just snorting it up. - All right, here's 2153. - It's hitting the little presets. And he needs-- - Oh, that was a real good one. - Was that Andy? Did Andy do that? - I don't know. I'm guessing these are all yarn. - That was a good one. Here's the last one. And all of us wearing those stupid glasses. - That was a really good one. I think the second one was my cleanest one, ready? - So, for instance, they're just like-- - They're just like lazy like snores. - Yeah, the second one definitely seems like good. - At least all me. - I think they're all you. - I think those were you. I think you were in a really giggly snorty mode because of your little-- - Yeah. Damn, damn, damn it. Good one, Keith. - This episode is sponsored by Bluetooth, the number one brand for better sex.

This is a request for Greg Chon, like take it or leave it, but they do think that any time Andy says he quibby three days in a row, they would like Greg Chon to make a song to the tune of Amilly. That's just a quibby, a quibby, a quibby. - A quibby. - You know I got that. - A quibby here, a quibby there. - I like this person. Did you see this one, Seth, from Samantha? Rather than read it, I'm just going to summarize that. She, for the criterion categories, suggests a third category. So she calls the main criterion category that we just call criterion blockbuster. So those are for shorts with the biggest cultural impact. That's normal. Then she says Kim's videos for the cult classics, also normal. And then she suggests library for the shorts that are essential to the Lonely Island story. And I do, I can't think of them ahead, which of those are, but there's definitely been some where we're like, it's not criterion, that's for sure. And then we go, Kim's video, it's not really a cult classic, but somewhere we know it belongs, it needs to be included in the story. - I would have put those ones in ones that are different from the others, or may not necessarily be like across the board, everyone loves good. But I sort of would put things like, even like Tizzle Whizzle in there. I know I'm the only one who likes Tizzle. - Right, 'cause it's not a cult classic, but we think it's well realized for what it is. It's its own thing. - And deserves to make this amazing blue rice set, that criterion's definitely making. - It's definitely working on without really communicating with us about it, just kind of. - You know, it's more of like a surprise gift situation. - I think it's gonna be a big surprise, yeah. - I'm gonna wake up one morning and the mobile closet that they bring to award shows, the mobile criterion closet can be parked in my driveway. And I'm gonna be like, what is this doing here? And I'll go in and then every disc will be a copy of our collection. - Yeah, you're gonna be like looking for like, with nail and eye. - Exactly. - You're gonna be like, it's not here. - Thank you for saying with nail and eye as the perfect example. - Well, I think with nail and eye, I have a theory that like, if it's a white man in the criterion closet between 45 and 58, that's like a 50% chance they're gonna pick up with nail and eye. - I swear I have a confession, which is that I've only seen 10 minutes, 'cause it was like the adult drug addictness. I was like, oh, if I need different energy in myself to be able to continue watching these guys. - It's really good, but you do have to be in the right headspace, I think. - It is really, it's like wet, rainy. - Yeah. - It's grotesque, like kitchen is grotesque. - Yeah, it's accurate. - Filthy. - It's just rotten. - Guys with no money. - We're just trying to like, get fucking drunk. - Yeah. - And it's great. - It's great movie. I picked it up when I was in the criterion closet. - Oh, so you're one of them. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - I love that movie. - You felt like a stereotype. I think that like when you look like all these like DVDs have like dust on them and like the with me And I can tell it's like recently been pulled. Yeah, yeah, they just had to refresh it Yeah, it's gone. It's like a brand new one Oh, this is fun that in the Apple lyrics for after party lyrics instead of vision quest. It's fishing quest Oh, yeah, that's a different style of the story. That would be a weirder song Different to be on a fishing quest. Most people don't say like when they're going on a fishing trip They don't go. Yeah. Oh, I'm busy. I'm taking my kids on a fishing quest. Yeah, fishing quest feels like somebody's like caught in a lie And like tripping over it could have been because meet a giant fish. Fuck his brains out though Maybe they like post dated it and we're like, oh, it's because it's a fishing quest I feel like if you're playing like a Zelda game. It might send you on a fishing quest They do an animal crossing. Did you read the email? We got about the silence to the ham scheme. Did you see that? No, no again You know a good podcast with like double check and the email from a listener before just reading it on the pod, right? I haven't done what this is this is not that the quads count on that we're unfiltered. Yeah The silence in the hands. Let me jump right in as an Italian. This is from Fabio, which I mean again We might be talking to a real Fabio like in Americans become a comedy name I think in Italy you just have a lot of Fabio's walking around Fabio said it was written and directed by an Italian TV comedian who climbed the ranks of a burlusconi's TV empire in the 80s. He somehow was given a $5 million Budget and a bunch of Hollywood phone numbers. It's a vanity project written by a guy with rudimentary English. Oh my god I got to see it. That's great. I feel like I mean he definitely said it's not worth your time unwittingly giving us a Review that makes us I think want to run not walk to our local blockbuster. We all love dialogue That's written to be distinctly American written by Europeans. Yeah From Paris with love is so an example of that my favorite kind of dialogue is is like Well, when we were in the shit. Oh, you don't have to tell me we're best friends like that kind of dialogue is my Yeah, just absolutely the best and from Paris with love has a really good scene of around the campfire every scene of from Paris with love Is is our favorite scene of a movie never seen it high recommend. That's criterion right there We could do that we should do that for an episode. Did you 3d that was santicold or how did you guys watch? I remember where you were we watched that in the theater at our office We have a little theater in our office and we will go in there to watch things occasionally and this was this was a big-screen Theater experience. It's a John Travolta basically playing common Yeah, well, he's dressed like common for sure. He's got it comets go T his bald head. It's in the same kind of style era of Iran so far like leather coats big scarfs Skinny jeans. Yeah, bad ass shoot him up slick gangster I don't even know what but it's a French made movie. Yeah, so it's through the lens of John Travolta You can tell some of the dialogue is a bit friend of them going like John Whatever you do is American and great and he's like well, then this is what I do That's different. I think we like taken has that a little bit From personal was made after the success of taking it was definitely a Europa movie just like taking right Might be the same people is it Luke Besson that's doing them. Yeah, I mean taking his Luke Besson Yeah, and then go to from Paris would love okay taking these the exact same thing those opening scenes have taken are almost like Tommy Wisezo's the room. Yeah, where it's a bunch of like former CIA agents. They're better shot, but yeah Yeah, same tone. Oh, no, yeah Pierre Morale. Pierre Morale, but is it is no, but the writers look Besson. Oh, there you go You went too fast. It was right there. They both have a thing where it's through the lens of Europe where they clearly came out here to have meetings in Hollywood And so like the sky is full of helicopters all the time. Yeah because they've been to LA and they think America because LA has a lot of helicopters because of the traffic and this how grand the space is to get anywhere and They think all of America is just covered in helicopters because they haven't been anywhere else I love it. And then like in taking when they're out on like the balcony of his apartment with his old war buddies making like hot dogs and burgers Because they're having hot dogs and burgers and then it's like the lines are all about like Did you catch the football game last week? Yes, you know the chiefs are looking quite good and you're like right It's just all it's equivalent if we made something in Europe and we're like it's like every Fred sketch about like Norwegian theater Yes, where it's like yes, the New York cops, but like a Marbara red cigarette. It's exactly what's happening with taken Do you guys remember is it taken three where they do the bit where she's kidding? I love that you think I'm gonna know I'm Keep keep keep I might I think it's a third one where she's been kidnapped and then he she Felt it. His daughter's been kidnapped. Was it Lenore? Oh, no, no, he's been kidnapped Liam's been kidnapped And then he makes her go drop grenades and he clocks how far the sound way it's like it's like when you're with your kids counting Thunder claps to be like now that the lightning is Yeah, Maya and then he crossed references like almost like her creating like a cell phone tower of the bees three explosions Yeah, he's using like dolphin style sonar with grenade explosions so that she can like figure out where he is and then So we were so inspired for the MacGurber TV show we were gonna do and where MacGurber He gets captured that he managed to find a cell phone. He's talking her through how to find him and he's like and he's He's farting. Yeah, he's smelling his own farts and he's like we're somewhere near a horse farm. They've been beating me horse meat Well, there's only one horse farm right around it like it's got to be that you know the train tracks I have we should I remember our bit because we also in Nick again saw that scene and we're like that's the scene and like wrote like Three different set pieces trying to utilize the same and then story wise We never really had a moment where we're frank. It's captured. It doesn't know where he is So it didn't actually fit as a story. It's also sort of later when he is the guy from the movie I don't know if that's even been done before I guess the Charlie Sheen lampoon Platoon a little bit. Yeah, that's true the guy from blue. Yeah, in hot shots part two He might have done some important stuff. The tagline for Taken 3 was that Takenbacker has now been taken Yep, the Takenbacker's now the Takenbacker has now been to that's not real. Is that real? No, that's death real That's death real. We had like three different parts in the script where Pam Anderson would get kidnapped by the bad guy Taking Osage and then somebody would look at the lens and go like she's been Taken and then just stare for a very very long time It's such a little hanging fruit. What did Liam think of that? Did he like did he ever see those? I don't know if he ever even saw that I'm saying it was like in our process and we slowly those moments just went away But not for lack of liking gotta get him out of your system Yeah, you do but the thing I'll say about Taken right is the speeches in the trailer. Yeah, which is incredibly well-written Iconic yeah, immediately repeatable fantastic before you even saw the movie I mean I think that that speech moment was responsible for it being a sleeper hit like a surprise Yeah, but I remember seeing the trailer and the speech is kind of the trailer and I was like oh I'm excited to see this. Oh, you thought it's gonna be a little more cerebral I really did and then you watched the like the hot dog and neighbor hot dog hamburger and you're like oh boy Okay, it is still good. It is helpful. That is such a good actor and and Keith I wanted to ask you this question because this was reminding me of you know I helped out on your movie a tiny bit on my some-night shoot stuff at the very end Yeah, and it was the owl stuff. Yeah, and when Liam was messing with the owl and hanging from the owl He was also yelling occasionally. I was in Shindler's list I was in Shindler's list and it was very funny You would do that occasionally through this shoot, but very rarely it wasn't like a joke he had done a lot Yeah, he chose the exact right moment, which is that he was actually on wires So he's like eight feet off the ground ridiculously suspended holding onto those little legs I'm a yelling that his dad is pooping on people and that he's doing a good job Yeah, it takes papa up at two puppeteers doing the ow wings on ladders on either side of them Yeah, and then actually you're more specifically. He yelled you know why was Shindler in Shindler's list right? He wasn't just in it he was I know I've talked about this. He's on the board He's coming up soon on a show. He's been doing a bit and like it feels like something like from a bang on arrow Where guests would come back and do the same bit every time they were in a talk show But every time he comes down I ask him about his new movie and he just takes out a little piece of paper from his co-pocket and he just reads the tagline as written by the studio He's like the copy line given to publicists. I've seen him do it on you. That's great. And it's wonderful It's really funny and it kind of always ends with him being like also kind of like well, like that sounds pretty good Oh, yeah Exactly who you want him to be very lovely. Yeah, very very caring and lovely man who gets it. Yeah All right, so no Andy and we have an idea for what we're gonna do in the spot But you know part of it obviously is wait half an hour. That was the first thing Yeah, we were like bullshit for a half hour bullshit for a half hour. You know it right on schedule So I mean we are professionals at this whoo. So the idea was what if we talk about a non-lonely island sketch And then we kicked around some like SNL sketch ideas And then we're like or what if it was just like a sketch from something else like something we thought was great Something we just wanted to share with the quads in case they haven't seen it. Yeah, just share with the quads And so Keeve sent one that I hadn't seen. Oh you hadn't seen it. I hadn't seen it. It's fantastic It's from a map very rich culture show. Yeah, you hadn't seen that great great It's a show from I'm just pulling up the Wikipedia to get the year right it was called snuff box And it was on it was one BBC - Yeah, and it was only six episodes ever. It was in 2006, and I've never seen the show. We of course know who they are from The Mighty Bush, which was a much more famous sketch show from there. - Matt Berry was, the first time I was introduced him was a Garth Morange's Dark Places, of course. - But I'm gonna pre-date you on Rich Fulcher from The Mighty Bush, was one of my first improv coaches. - In Chicago. - Oh wow. - He's an improv legend. He's like early herald improviser. He is one of the sweetest human beings. - Matt Berry is so good in Garth Morange's Dark Place that I thought, there's a weird compliment, but I thought he was overdubbed. - Yeah. - Like he had done the performance and then they overdubbed him as a joke 'cause his voice is so, I never had a buddy like you. - That's not a bad Matt Berry, it is incredible. - And there's a show he's been made more recently called The Toast of London, where he is playing a voiceover artist in the show. That's super funny. - Toast is fantastic. - It's really great. He's like a high place, like a Howard Parker type. - Yeah. - But which is true for him in real life. I mean, his voice is incredible. - No, yeah. - Do you know the yes scene from Toast of London? - Yeah, yeah, where he's doing yes. Every version of yes. It's a very trouble on Dukey Island recording session. - Yeah. - There's a great name of the guy. Hold on real quick. - I'm looking at the Wikipedia page for Snuff Box. So this was a show that once I saw this sketch, I just saw it on YouTube. I wanted to watch all of them and I couldn't find it. Now I think I could find a DVD. But it was directed by a guy named Michael Cumming, who also directed Toast of London, according to the Wikipedia page. - Toast of London, I think he's on like Netflix or something. - Wait, so you couldn't find it? Where is the DVD? Is it like you have to get it on eBay or some shit? - Now, I think we could just buy it. Let's see Snuff Box, since we're putting out things that you can't find. I was trying to find the Catherine Bigelow movie called Near Dark, and if anyone knows where to get that, I would love some help on that. - Yeah, like you could buy the Snuff Box DVD right now in Amazon, but it's like $60, you know what I mean? It's just like something that was printed in 2006 and that's it. And I don't even know what the rest of it is. I'm just so curious to see it. I wonder if it's on like that British. - For our quads in Foggy London town, if you could help us out, that would be great. - Oh, it says it's on Hoopla. And probably, yeah. So now it's on, but like Hoopla sounds like Bongo Hub. Hoopla is like Canopy, it's a library app, where it's free with the library card. - Oh, that's really good. I mean, because there was that time early odds, if you wanted to stuff from like late '90s, I think we've talked about this before, but like I had a DVD player in my apartment that only played DVDs from England. - Oh yeah, like a different six DVD player, whatever it's called. - And so if you wanted like Nathan Barley or Garth Morangue or any like original office before they were on over here, you had to watch it that way, which is crazy to think. And now we're like, it's so easy now, and you're like, actually, it's not that easy. You gotta get Hoopla. - Hoopla is pretty easy, guys. - Yeah, Hoopla once you have Hoopla's. - You have a library card, you have a total idea. - So since we're sort of talking about our some of our favorite sketches here, keep do you wanna talk about why that this one is? And then should we watch it? - Yeah, let's watch this one. - Yes. - But can we first watch this is the yes scene from Toast of London? - Oh gosh. - It's got a short. - So he's in a sound box. What do you call it, sound box? - Recording studio, sound booth, yep. - He's in a sound box, famously, what they're called. - You're not sharing it right now if you think you are said. - I'm about to. - Okay, great. - And our client has asked him to say yes for a product of some sort, I forget what. - Is that it? Just that one word? - Yeah. - Okay. Yes. A lot of client whispering. - I just think that was really good. Feeling is here that you could be a bit more positive. - More positive. - Yeah. - You know, really go for it. - You want me to go for it? - Yeah. - All right. - Yes. - Very, very good. Let's just try without the scripts. Might just loosen you up a little bit. Yeah, I mean, it's, what is it, one word? You don't really need it, do you? - I probably don't need the scripts. It's just a word. - Yeah. - Okay, let's do it again. - Yes. - He still checked the script. He does check the script. He takes the script off the music stand and then he checks it again before he says it. - Is that it? - Yes. - Right. - Hi, Stephen. - Yes. - This is Clem Fandango. - Yes. Can you hear me? - Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango. - Honestly, this is going so great, but I just think there was a little lot of energy in that last take. Maybe try one more. - Okay, ready to go? - Yep. - What? - Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. - I mean, just a great comedy voice 'cause it's an all-time great voice. - I believe two of those guys who are in the booth are in the sketch out cardinal burns and did another very, very funny audition sketch called Firey Hawk, which you should look up 'cause it's fucking nice. - Well, that's what's saving for a future episode. - Okay. - Yes, I can hear that. - Did you Clem Fandango? - Clem Fandango. This is Clem Fandango. - It is that choice you make. And again, four days never miss the opportunity to go somebody a great name, right? I think sometimes my instinct is, oh yeah, don't do a comedy name. And then every time I hear one, I'm like, oh yeah, it's great. - It's so much better, a little extra sauce. - Clem Fandango is so much better. (laughing) All right, so yeah, set this one up, Keith. So I will say, like, reading about the show that I also haven't seen, obviously, I haven't even seen the sketch. They played characters in the show, but then there were sketches within the body of it. - Yeah, I don't exactly know the format truly. I mean, clearly you'll see in the first two seconds of this, it's ending some other storyline or some other sketch and then weaving seamlessly into the beginning of this. And then kind of weaves out of it, maybe. - Yeah, I don't know if it probably doesn't even the set up, except for people not watching visually on the YouTube, it's called Fuck You. You can just look at Matt Berry, Fuck You or Snuffbox Fuck You. It's a really, I mean, it's a wonderful title. And it's Matt Berry, and he's in a suit and tie and he's on the street, street's a London, and he meets some different ladies. - And just for the visual before we hear it, he meets a woman who's carrying a fish tank. And he takes it from her, he offers to help her and takes it from her. - Hello. Can I help you with that? - Are you sure? - Absolutely. My lady is in distress, and I'm here to rescue her. - Thanks. They say shovel is dead, but I think you're making a pretty strong case for its revival. - Well, I'm always ready to help her be a beautiful lady. I help the ugly ones as well, but I definitely say you're in the former camp. Where am I taking this? - Well, it's only a few streets away. I'm moving in with my boyfriend. - I am. (laughing) - Just immediately appreciative. - I hate interrupting it for people that are watching, but for those that aren't me, Vaisley just immediately dropped the, just called the drop to that fish tank on the ground, said fuck you and ran away. - Yeah. - And then it pans up. You know, also, this is a very beautifully shot sketch. It looks great. And I think it's really worth noting, 'cause I know everything in England costs like five pounds to shoot. Like, there's no budget for the show clearly. But it looks great. - Hello there. - He's at a bar. - You must be quick Finch's granddaughter. You're much better looking than he is. Imagine trying to kiss that. (laughing) - They look heavy. Let me take this to your table. - Thank you, handsome. The gin and tonics for my sister Ruth. - Okay. - This one is for Stacey. - Hello. - You could hand this one to my boyfriend. - Fuck you. (laughing) - Whiskey! Whiskey! - Now we have a woman sort of looking at realty listings through a window. - Look at that woman over there. - No, yeah. (beep) Bar the estate agents. - What, the woman? - Well, she wants to buy a house. - You're so naive. You still really know as women's magazines. - Yeah. - Yeah. - You see, where you see Champagne, I see (beep) she clearly wants to be picked up. - What makes you such an expert? - I wasn't made an expert. I was born one. Watch this. - You need a little buildup. - So this is beat three, right? We've seen him drop a fish tank, drop a tray of drinks. She's holding a potted plant. - Yeah. - So it's that fun of like getting a little bit ahead of it, right? - Yes. - Were these all throughout the season though? 'Cause it feels like they're doing red herrings now of getting into the sketch of like you that you don't, you know what I mean? - Oh, that's interesting. - Are these added together? - That's a good question. I think that they are. - Yeah. - Don't they feel like they're spread throughout the season and then you're like, they're getting better at just like trying to mask what's coming? - I don't know. - That's a great question. - That's a great question, everything. - So why would a beautiful woman like you be looking at flats in a neighborhood like that? - Amon Gilles Tusefad? - What does that mean? - It means why put bay windows on a shit house? (laughing) Clearly a woman as beautiful as you will be living in Kensington Gardens. - Really? I think so. - I don't think so. I know so. - It's like you and my boyfriend was saying the other day. - Fuck you. (laughing) Check the pot through it through the window of a jet war. Yeah, they had kind of nicely set up a vintage classic car. Yeah, it was just happening in front of the real estate office. Again, it's a real beautiful car. And I don't think I can't figure out how they could have done it without actually breaking the window of that car. It looks like a real break. Yeah, it looks like it's not shattered. It's perfectly done. Now this is fun. You just see a hot lady crouching over two dogs. And now you're just excited. I love that, beautiful. I guess I needed a shorter lead. Oh, thank you so much. There's such a gentleman. Well, it has been said that I'm a gentleman, but never a gentleman. It's laughs. Can I accompany you and your journey? Sure. I've got to get a scoffey back to my boyfriend and then I'll stop here. Just punch the dog, then punch the other one, who's a separate person's dog. For no reason. Hey, the other thing, because we were talking about Mampary and one of the things you were discussing about the Santa Gold song last week is it too good a song and not funny enough. He on purpose has like non-funny albums and I genuinely like some of the songs. And one of the songs that I just sometimes listen to because I enjoy it so much is the theme song to toast of London. Take my hand. Is the name of the song? Can you just say? Oh, yes. Do take my hand. Because I think that we want to hear the version where I'm singing it. That one, yeah. Oh my god. Also, the album cover is so great. Him with a hawk. Yeah. No woods. The album is called 'Witchhaze'. No, it's not a hawk. Fessant. It's great. It's disarmingly good. You've seen some movie in the dark, though you were not playing a whim. My image too. That's not what I thought it was going to sound like at all. It's genuinely great. Yeah, it's surprising from Jim. Yeah. Pete Seraphinoitz, who's another great comedian, is also involved with that album. I think Matt played mostly instruments. I heard it was inspired by the movie 'Wicker Man'. Well, it makes sense to be inspired by that. It's ticking a lot of boxes for things that are fun and good. Just going back to the 'Fuck You' sketch. The reason I think it's a runner is one, because I don't think that people would want to overwhelm you with that. I think it's a nice surprise every time you cut to a new one. But it really reminds me of another sketch that I have always loved. From kids in the hall, it's called 'Billy Dreamer'. And it's just a guy who's dreaming of stuff. But all of his dreams are completely mundane and subpar. Where it's like he's with his friends and 'Billy Dreamer' let's dream. And then he has a slightly bigger TV in his dream. They're still watching TV, slightly bigger TV, and it's not even in color. It's like, yeah, I like your new TV. Yeah, maybe next time you get one color. But really good runner as well. It is officially a runner. We're hearing from Kevin Miller now. Yes, officially a runner. That's how I was going to show you. Look, I just pulled it up on Hoopla, the library. Do you download Hoopla? You can see right here. We're six minutes into a random episode here. I'm on episode five, I think. We've got a little, look at that little interstitial. So is it a runner that is episode to episode? Or are they all in one episode? Episode to episode. Yeah, there is. And here we are with the dogs. Bigger mislead. Ding dong ding. Hey quads, it's Akiva. I'm interrupting the podcast here to say that rich culture sent us a voice note about Snuff Box. Please enjoy. Snuff Box is a really obscure dark musical sketch show that broadcasted on the BBC at 11 pm in 2006. 20 years ago, it only aired once, but has a big cult following. Pretty big. It was co-written and co-starred in by Matt Berry of Toast, what we do in the shadows, the IT crowd. I could go on. And me, rich culture from the mighty Bush. But you probably know me best from coaching Seth Meyers' improv team in Chicago. Grits in the 90s. Now Snuff Box is six episodes. And Matt and I play Hangman at a local gentleman's club. Each show starts out with us walking down a white corridor and has a light narrative arc. There are also loads of sketches which all sort of connect with music throughout. Fun fact, the theme song written by Matt is featured in the movie Dread. One of the most popular group of sketches from the show are a series of sketches called The Boyfriend's sketches in which Matt flirts with a woman by helping her. But the minute he finds out she has a boyfriend, he says "Fuck you" and leaves. The sketches became so popular that most people think Snuff Box is just a bunch of YouTube sketches rather than a tightly written show. This is Frustrating! A DVD of the show came out a year later with commentary and was released by Severin, but it's now out of print. I don't know where you can see Snuff Box right now. Celebrity fans include Paul Rudd, Simon Pegg, Weird Al, and SNL's Jonathan Chrysler, who used the show as one of the inspirations for the Nick Crowell show. Thanks guys for letting me talk about Snuff Box and Seth, remember your Zips-Apps-Apps! Okay, thanks again to the amazing rich filter for sending that. And now, here's the other half of Snuff Box, Matt Berry! Good afternoon, this is Matt Berry here to add my two-bob to the Snuff Box discussion. To be honest, it's a bit of a blur, the whole thing. It's a long time ago, 20 odd years. And that's for the fuck you sketch. Now, I remember this as being a sketch that came out of the read-through. And what I used to do is if a sketch wasn't having the reaction or any reaction, or the reaction that I hoped it would get, I used to sort of panic and throw in a swear. And then that would get a reaction and then I wouldn't feel so shitty about it. I just want to point out, I don't do that anymore. I'm not as bothered about how things go down in the read-through, particularly. But rich will probably remember that sketch differently. If I'm brutally honest, the rest of Snuff Box is a blur. I don't really remember filming it that well. I think it was just an excuse really for Rich and I to work together. We'd wanted to do that and this seemed like a good idea. To be honest, I was not a big fan of sketch shows at that point. I'm still not a huge fan now, but in order to do it, I just wanted to do something different with it, as I think Rich did. But like most of these things, and you hear people talk this way now, it isn't necessarily something that I would want to do now. It's not the style of comedy that I would be interested in. Now, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. I'm not ashamed of it or anything. It's just, you know, you just sort of move on and you want to do different things. I don't have that need to shock and try and upset the BBC. I'm just chuffed that there's anyone is still like looking at it and appreciating it in any way. So thank you for that and bless you. All right, big thank you to Matt Berry and Rich Fulter for sending those in. I mean, that's pretty damn cool. And now, back to the show. Bing bong ding ding ding. So our new premise of let's talk about a sketch we like, we immediately undercut by instead talking about a runner. A YouTube compilation of a runner. Yeah, but you know what? We got to talk about Matt Berry and Rich Fulter, who are super funny dudes and draw attention to their great work, so I don't regret any of it. No, and the clip is still right there for you to look at on YouTube. Yeah, but it is interesting that it is a runner. And it's a shout out to the quids guys. I meant to say quids earlier and thank you for all of your comedy. Huge inspiration to us throughout the years. Monty Python. What are some other ones guys? Uh, the Goon show. Yes, uh, Bob and Ray, the Caesar's out. This one says that Richard Ioattis in the episode that I'm looking at. I don't see him, but it says he's in a little jealous that England has the tone of like feeling like a small community of like all the comedians kind of know each other. Like the cross-pollination for all of those shows is fucking awesome. And all of their like late night shows with like Jimmy Carr and like that they all seem to like know each other and feel pals and we all fucking hate each other, you know what I mean? Yeah, we turn on each other. I mean, even within this podcast, there's a lot of issues we're still working through. Well, I don't agree with that. Oh boy. Good one, you arm. Good point, you arm. Nice joke. So, but hey, another thing I thought, uh, Keave, you arm, if you guys would sign off on this, like this might be a fun thing for quads to suggest to us. Sketch is they love. Yeah, for sure. I would love that. SNL or otherwise. Yeah. So, um, another British sketch I want to talk about. I actually did an interview for Vulture. Ask me once is there a sketch you love. And so I've actually talked about the sketch. before, but it's from Smith & Joe. which was a British sketch out that was in like the 80s. But when I lived in Amsterdam, they would rerun it. So the first time I saw this sketch was 10 years after it aired on like a rerun. And it's a very tightly written sketch called Nazi Generals. The premise is, as you'll see, all the tropes of Nazi Generals in cinema. It's up! Hey Hitler! No, General Gilbert. I am Robert. As you can see, I am the Nazi General, who is always being fitted for a new uniform. I enjoy the company of beautiful women. And listening to classical music is my eyes shut. I see. And also the Nazi General, who says, "You see Captain, we are not all barbarians." I don't stop. So Nazi General Al, with a silly state to my character. You will find that I'm always removing my gloves. I disapprove of other General Al's being measured for new uniforms. And I am also the one who is always winding up the telephone and saying, "Get me some fuel!" Hitler! Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself. General von Dünker, I am the slightly purvy General. And I may also be a little bit gay. Hey Hitler! Hey Hitler! As you can see, I have a twitch. And I am always dabbing my mouth with a handkerchief because I have no lips. And off! This is the accurate. Good evening, Gentlemen. I am Ketzler. I am the Issa going General, who does not need a salute properly. Hey Hitler! Yeah, yeah. You will not my ludicrous scar and my obvious lip. I also have spent many happy years in London. The reason for my uniform being a slightly different color to yours is never explained. All right, so I just was like, we are two minutes in. We already were the rule of force, right? Each one perfect. Like they have not had to reach yet. Everyone totally recognizable. And you know again, this is real building block sketch comedy writing right here. Every piece of it leads to the next. And I am still very impressed with the move they used for the last beat. Gentlemen! General, matter! Forgive my late arrival, but as you can see, I have a rough obvious. No, the lip. So he's dressed like the fourth general and he's trying to steal that move. And the fourth general tells him that's him. But of course, I am a little big girl. And I did my lips feel. I think you will find that it's me my friend. In which case, I must immediately find out your telephone and say. Get me some fuel! You're a hard career! And at least I still enjoy the company of beautiful women and listening to the gramophone classical music. With your eyes shut. I'm afraid so. I am a Nazi general who is outwardly calm but subject to sudden and inexplicable fates of paper! I mean, that's great, that's great. That is really well done. It's like whenever you see a really good impression you've never seen before and you're like, "Whoa, well you're just impressed by the observation." Yeah, yeah. It's so well observed. You immediately recognize the truth in each one of them. I love the English's sort of fascination and dedication to poking fun at Nazi stuff. It's always been great. Yeah, and also I guess, you know, I guess that's 89ish. So it's, you know, it's a different time. I mean, right, it is still jarring to see an actual swastika in a sketch. But I feel like a lot of English people can do a fake German or speak German really well. Which I'm always surprised by. Yeah, there's something about that. That's got shows from 1989. That was 1989, I believe you. Wow. That's a really good show. Can I plug myself for one second? Because I did put these online and I wanted to put this out there. I think it's okay to mention this, but when I did "Kunk Fury" and I was playing Hitler and it's a movie that may never come out. It's very, very sad. Michael Fastbenders in it. I got to fight Arnold Schwarzenegger who was playing the President of the United States and it's still tragic to me that it hasn't come out yet. And I shot this in Bulgaria. It was a wonderful time. And I was so bored in my trailer that I did 10 different vlogs as Hitler. It was three and a half hours of makeup every day. So I really, I didn't want to waste it. And so I put them online. They're on YouTube under your boy Hitler, which is a wildly inappropriate thing to call it. But check them out. I think they're pretty funny. And one of my happiest memories was I would FaceTime people from Bulgaria. And I FaceTime Seth. Yeah. Yeah. As Hitler. You did. And he picked up in an airport and I was like, "Hi Seth!" And he was like, "Immediately hang up on me." Just like, "No, no, no." And he was like, "You can't." I can't have Hitler's fucking face on my phone talking to me in any public setting. And I was like, "Yeah, I get that." I made it much funnier to me. So thank you Seth. The show, I believe, is called "Alas a Smith and Jones." It's Mel Smith and Griff Reese Jones. And Mel Smith is in Princess Bride. Mel Smith plays the role of the albino in the pit of despair. Oh my God, he's amazing. He's amazing. That shit is so funny. Yeah. Don't even think about trying to escape. Yeah. The fucking turn is so good. But yeah. It's a great sketch. That sketch I feel also is a, you could teach in a sketch writing class. And it breaks, it does break the laws of threes. Yeah, right. It's not, it's not rule of threes. It's more delightful than that. Twice, the fourth one and then the fifth one. So. All right, you have your instructions, Quaid Army. Let us know if you have any other sketches. Well, I guess me and Andy will do our fave sketches another time. Yeah, I hope you will. More fave runners. If you have a fave runner, those are fun to do. I already mentioned two. Yeah, one fave runner. So, you know, I mix that box. Yeah. Gotcha. Oh, and real quick, Jack Black. Spelling beat. Spelling beat. Andy, if you send in a voice now, we'll play it now. Quibby. Seth, those are what I'm talking about. Love you guys. Love you. Seth, later Arnold. Later Quaids. Later, Matt Berry. Yes. Later, Rich Fulture. Later Quaids.
