The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast - Snuff Box: F**k You
Episode Date: October 1, 2026On this episode of The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast we’re down an Alvin (Andy) and we’re branching out in format. For those of you who hate comments, sorry to say but Dave the dog walker ...is back to read some. This week they’re discussing a few sketches (and a runner!) from comedy legend Matt Berry, specifically his work on Snuff Box and Toast of London. But before that, they’re discussing SNL hosts for Season 52, the movie "Obsession" and whether or not it's okay to spoil it at this point, as well as some of their other favorite British comedy moments. It’s a loose episode even with Seth here to wrangle.

It's the lonely island answer.
Liars podcast.
Uh, hey dudes, how's it going?
Hi, Seth.
Hi, happy Saturday.
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 a heart.
Like, I'm always like, is he serious?
No, no, no.
Okay.
I'm glad you're asking.
I'm serious. I'm dead serious. I really love the pod a lot.
Somebody did say, uh, it's fun to hear the pod when Poindexter, Seth isn't raining in the big dogs.
Yeah, 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, Keeve, 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 the dude who counted the Dukies.
Yeah, I think it was.
It was just that Yorm was also playing his homemade sound effects.
Yeah, which were fantastic.
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 daving that episode, I don't know if I would have spent as much time on the Duky email.
Maybe that's the problem.
I just really wanted to dive in.
I was so impressed with Jonathan's work.
Did you know that Jonathan did, uh, hear?
the request for the actual count of the Dukies
and that he sent them in. Oh, good, good. Thank you, Jonathan.
Yoram, do you want to take a guess? What am I guessing?
Well, you had the most of the Dukies.
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.
He said it 35 times.
Fuck! Fuck, I got it wrong.
Yeah.
You knew it was less than 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 was mentioned so lovingly.
Did you reach out to him or did it get to him organically through the quads?
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.
But you got a sweet later quads from him.
That was a surprise to me when I was going through the episode to give notes and all of a sudden there it was.
And it was such a treat.
I sort of wanted you guys to actually listened to it when I was airing, but, you know, whatever.
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 old yelers.
Three old yelers.
At the end of the movie, old yelers.
I was going to say we're like three little yippy dogs next to you, and you're like a Jack
Reacher dog, you know, next to us.
I would say I'm like an overworked dog walker.
That's right.
Trying to pull back the leashes on things.
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 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.
I got a summer stock audition.
I really need it.
Yo, that's hell of accurate.
By the way, speaking of the dookies, Jeremy James, I'm going to shout them out.
After a long, brutal day that culminated in a 2.30 a.m. commute home.
I popped on the pod and when Akiva asked how many Dukies 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.
Wow. Do you think it was... Why
127? It's just... I don't know.
It does sound like a number that pops into your head
the way 17 does.
Well, it's a comedy number.
Isn't that 127 hours? Isn't that James Franco
comedy? Yeah, I don't know that it's a comedy, Seth, but it is.
Well, it leads back to that.
Hey, it's another one where a guy eats his own...
Was he? He has to eat 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 arm?
No, he cuts it off with like a very dull blade.
I did a comedy pass where he ate it and they didn't do it.
They were 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, whoa.
What?
Like, we get why you cut it off.
What was the second part?
Can I tell a story that I'm not going to name names a friend of mine did tell me that they're,
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 then you have to be like,
oh, it's not actually funny.
And then the whole time, you're like, well, but it is, though.
Yeah.
And by the way, if you're Yorm's friend that that happened to, he probably has a second friend
that it also happened to.
So don't jump.
Like, so let's not judge.
Keep making you a more specific.
Yorbs like my ADHD letting loose screaming, calling now, get a free.
t-shirt and Andy is like my OCD panicking about the possibility 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 battling each other.
Yeah, they say too. And I say battering that out of the pot. It's good to have both. I think it's good
to have both. 100%. There's pills for both. Yeah, too. Oh, speaking of horror, have you guys
seen, I know you're easily spooked. Have you guys seen an 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.
Keeve, 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,
Keeve, where it's a little bit less spooky, and
Yorm, I don't know if you notice this. The main
character, Indy's character,
little bit of
Trina, Kristen Wiggs character.
There's a little bit of...
Thomas!
And I'm not giving away much. No, she's doing SNL, too.
She's doing SNL, October
or something, the Halloween...
Is that announced, Yorm, or are you to say more things
on the pod, you're not allowed.
No, it's announced.
I always 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 at the summer.
And basketball, Shoemaker 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&L season.
What if Indy 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 little...
I think she's five 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 surprise.
But it is...
I don't know whether Trina will be scarier to watch moving forward,
or if obsession will be funnier 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...
And it makes sense.
And she's like, come, I'm going to kill you.
No.
It's like, no, you're mad at me.
Oh, don't.
Oh, no.
So, Seth, you have seen it, though, correct?
Yes.
I've seen it, yeah.
Of course.
The fucking scene where she's asleep and then is like,
fucking hell.
Holy shit.
This is fucking scary.
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 have just said.
He said he was two chickens shit to watch it.
Spoiling an act three turn.
I think it was.
Like just like, I'm like, hey, I want to be gentle with this because I appreciate it.
I think obsession's been how 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 immediately.
Yeah, whatever it is, it's what obsession is.
hit so we could look that up and have the number yeah that's your answer uh everybody enjoyed
dinked in the doink off the top of the last pod keve and we're really oh is that one we um
dinked in the doink is when you use music and therefore we do not get the ad revenue and so we
yeah and also they just put ads everywhere that we wouldn't put so we're really hoping uh nick
and the nick chenary has added uh dinked in the doink uh if that 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-syllable
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.
But I think that the bar is actually lower than that.
I think $250.
Yeah, yeah.
If you make $2.50, then 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.
Well, anyway, the best part is when she's in bed, she's asleep.
Yeah.
And then she's like, ruin it for everybody.
You realize that she's actually like, this is like and the 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.
That's four months.
Yeah, yeah.
But that's the rule.
It's $250 and $4 months.
$250 million plus four months.
That's official.
It's an official rule.
I do just want to circle back on the criticism that I read that ad 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 I keep re-recording it.
Yeah.
And so if there's one that all of a sudden,
like, the sound quality seems different,
it's that I just can't get it right.
By the way, Keeve, I've desperately been trying to make good points
and the hope that Yorne brought his soundboard.
And I was one for you?
Yeah, I mean, because last week I was listening,
and I'm like, I wonder if, like,
Yorm knew I wasn't going to 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 seems very clear.
I'm still waiting for one to drop any second, but...
I know, I feel like he just didn't.
It's like he doesn't.
I think he's having it like...
It's like he threw it away.
Nice joke.
They barely play through the Zoom.
The Zoom likes filtering them.
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 of the pod.
In the final product.
Oh, definitely.
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 Alvin's heard it. No.
In relation to Chris the person, I'm sure. Oh. Yeah. Or Chris, Cristow. Yeah. 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 you're listening to Kevin and Bean on K Rock.
In the morning.
Pretty good.
That'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 going to be is them apologizing to us for not using that theme song that we made for them.
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 every episode.
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.
Yeah.
Was a Florida radio station.
I think it was.
We were traveling around for, I believe, Pop Star, I think.
And we were at a lot of,
I don't want to say random places,
but I don't think it was like a fully syndicated national show.
definitely went to Tampa because we went to the college.
It was either that or maybe we're in Philadelphia.
It might have been Philadelphia.
This is going to be hard to track down.
Try Philadelphia, guys.
But that was a nice little Kevin and Bean one.
Thank you, Larry.
Yeah, really fine.
Hey, somebody had the, let me see if I could do this real quick.
This was the snort index from the last episode.
Oh, no.
All right, so if you click them, will we hear each snort?
Let's see.
These are the timestamps of the snorts.
Saturday morning and see if there's any suspicious news articles.
All right.
Did that count?
That wasn't a strong snort.
I didn't see that.
It was kind of a breathy scoff.
Damn.
So, for instance...
Oh, that was a really good one.
Did you hear that one?
Yeah, I can't.
I can't hear these.
That's a real yorn.
Did you hear that, yorn?
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.
Andy needs...
Oh, that was a real good one.
Is that Andy?
Did Andy do that?
I don't know.
I'm guessing these are all your.
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 a lazy, like snores.
Yeah, the second one definitely seems like, you're all me.
I think they're all you.
I think those are you.
I think because you were in a really giggly snorty mode because of your little.
Yeah.
You're just good one, peeve.
This episode is sponsored by Blue Chew, the number one brand for better sex.
And yeah, they requested me for this one.
They didn't want those other three dudes.
They wanted somebody that just presents his white, hot, unadulterated sex.
You guys, Blue Chew has given over 5 million men confidence where it counts.
Blue Chewold Gold is better sex in a tablet.
It combines four ingredients into one, powerful solution.
Two ingredients work on the physical side, and two support arousal.
and desire in the brain.
It works fast and lasts for a complete experience in the bedroom.
Blue juice tablets are chewable,
so there's no pill to swallow and no water needed.
Getting started happens entirely online.
You fill out a quick health questionnaire
and a U.S. licensed physician reviews it
to see if blue chew is right for you.
And then you have a boner.
If you're approved.
If you're approved.
I think if you're approved, I think that's how it works.
If you're approved, your tablet ship right to your door.
Okay, so wait.
That's, you got to wait for that part.
Your tablet ship right to your door in discrete packaging.
Plans are a monthly subscription that you can adjust or cancel.
And also, if you want it to be indiscreet, you know, just take it out of the discrete packaging
and then you put it in a bag where you write in like Sharpie what it is and then your neighbors know what you're up to.
And they're jealous.
This is all copy they asked me to say.
There's a reason Blue Choo is the number one brand for better sex.

Falls this season, everyone gets busier, more calls, more customers, more chances for something to slip through the cracks.
And staying ahead means having the right system, not just working harder.
That's why today's episode is brought to you by Quo, spelled QUO.
Almost the first two letters of quaid, so that's probably not why they're a sponsor, but it maybe should be.

This is a request for Greg Chun, like take it or leave it,
but they do think that any time Andy says he quibbied three days in a row,
they would like Greg trying to make a song to the tune of a millie.
Oh.
That's just a quibby, a quibby, a quibby.
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 it.
criterion, blockbuster.
So those are for shorts with the biggest cultural impact.
Great. 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 can't think off the time of my head which 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 put those ones in ones that are different from the others.
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 to do it.
Right, because it's not a cult classic, but we think it's well realized for what it is.
Yeah, it's its own thing.
And deserves to make this amazing Blu-ray set that criterion's definitely making.
Definitely working on without really communicating with us about it.
Just kind of.
No, it's more of like a surprise gift situation.
I think it's going to be a big surprise, yeah.
I'm going to wake up one morning, and the mobile closet that they bring to award shows,
the mobile criterion closet is going to be parked in my driveway.
And I'm going to be like, what's this doing here?
And I'll go in, and then every disc will be a copy of our collection.
Yeah.
You're going to be looking for, like, Withnail and I.
Exactly.
It's not here.
Thank you for saying Withnail and I as the perfect example of it.
Well, I think Withnail and I,
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 going to pick up with Mel and I.
I swear.
I have a confession, which is that I've only seen 10 minutes because it was like the addled drug addictness.
I was like, oh, I need different energy in myself to be able to continue watching these guys.
It's really good, but you do it up to be in the right headspace, I think.
It is really.
It's like wet, rainy.
Yeah.
It's grotesque.
The kitchen is grotesque.
Yeah, it's acrid.
Filthy.
It's just rotten.
Guys with no money who are just trying to like get fucking drunk.
Yeah.
And it's great.
It's a great movie.
I picked it up when I was in the criterion closet and like literally.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I love that movie.
You felt like a stereotype.
100%.
I think that like when you look like all these like DVDs have like dust on them and like the
Withmail and I you 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.
A couple lyrics for after party lyrics.
Instead of Vision Quest, it's Fishing Quest.
Oh, that's a different style of the story.
That would be a weirder song.
He could be on a fishing quest.
Most people don't say, like, when they're going on a fishing trip,
they don't go, 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, you know,
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 of the Hams, Keeve?
Did you see that?
No, no.
Again, you know, a good podcast would like double check in the email from a listener before just reading it on the pod, right?
I haven't done that.
No, but this is not.
This is not that.
The Quades count on that were unfiltered.
Yeah.
The Silence of the Hams.
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 America, it's 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 Berlusconi'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.
Yeah, 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 an example of that.
My favorite kind of dialogue 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 just absolutely the best.
And comparison with love has a really good scene.
Is it around the campfire?
Every scene from Paris with Love is our favorite scene of a movie.
Never seen it.
I recommend.
That's Criterion right there.
We could do that.
We should do that for an episode.
Did you 3D that with Santigold?
How did you guys watch Paris with Love?
Do you 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 a big screen theater experience.
It's John Travolta basically playing common.
Yeah.
Well, he's dressed like.
common for sure he's got comments goatee his bald head it's in the same kind of style era of iran so far like
leather coats big scarfs uh skinny jeans yeah yeah badass shoot him up slick gangster gonna i don't even know
what he would but it's a french made movie yeah so it's through the lens of john cherval and you can
tell some of the dialogue is a bit french of them going like john whatever you do is american and great
and he's like well then this is what i do and you're like hmm
That's different.
I think that like Taken has that a little bit.
Oh,
taken is 100%.
From Peres of Love was made
after the success of Taken.
It was definitely a Europa movie
just like Taken.
Right.
Might be the same people.
Is it Luke Besan that's doing them?
Yeah.
I mean, Taken is Luke Besant.
Yeah, and then Go to From Paris With Love.
Okay.
Taken is the exact same thing.
Those opening scenes of Taken are almost like
Tommy Wizzo's, the room.
Yeah.
Where it's a bunch of like former CIA agents.
They're better shot, but yeah.
Same tonal.
No, no, yeah.
Pierre Morell.
Care morale.
But 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 L.A. and they think America, because L.A. 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.
I love it.
Like in taken, 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, it's the equivalent of we made something in Europe and we're like.
It's like every Fred sketch about like Norwegian theater.
Yes.
Where it's like, New York cops.
But like.
Had me a marlborough red cigarette.
That's exactly what's.
happening. With Taken, do you guys remember, is it taken three where they do the bit where she's kidnapped?
I love that you think I'm going to know. I'm going to. Keep it. I might. I think it's the third one where she's been kidnapped and then he.
Who she found her. His daughter. 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 wave is. It's like when you're with your kids counting thunderclaps to be like, now the lightning is.
A mile.
And then he cross-references.
It's almost like her creating
like a cell phone tower
of these 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 she can go.
So we were so inspired
for the McGruber TV show
we were going to do
him where McGruber,
he gets captured,
he manages 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.
And he's smelling his own farts.
And he's like,
we're somewhere near a horse farm.
They've been feeding me horse meat.
Well, there's only one horse farm right around.
Like, it's got to be that near the train tracks.
I wish I remembered our bit because we also in Naked Gun saw that scene and were 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 Frank gets captured and it doesn't know where he is.
So it didn't actually fit as a story.
It's also sort of waiter when he is the guy from the movie.
I don't know if that's even...
I don't know if that's even been done before.
I guess did Charlie Sheen-Lampoon platoon a little bit?
Yeah, that's true, the guy from Platoon.
Right.
Yeah, in Hot Chots, Part two.
He might have done some platoon stuff.
The tagline for Taken 3 was the Takenbacker has now been taken.
Yep, the Taken Backer's now been taken.
The Taken Backer has now been took.
That's not real.
Is that real?
No, that's Def Real.
That's Def Real.
We had like three different parts in the script where Pam Anderson would get kidnapped by the bad guy,
Taken Ossage.
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 was such low-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.
You got to get them out of your system.
You do.
But the thing I'll say about Taken, right,
is the speech is in the trailer.
Yeah.
Which is incredibly well-written, iconic,
immediately repeatable.
And it was iconic 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 hit.
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 was going to be a little more cerebral.
I really did, and then you watched the hot dog and hamburger,
hot dog, hamburger, and you're like, oh, boy, okay.
It is still good, it is helpful that he's such a good actor.
And Keev, 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 like 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 Schindler's list.
I was in Schindler's list.
And it was very funny.
I mean, he would do that occasionally through the shoot, but very rarely.
It wasn't like a joke he leaned on a lot.
But 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 of a puppet owl.
And yelling that his dad is pooping on people and that he's doing a good job.
And yelling, thanks, Papa, up at two puppeteers doing the owl wings on ladders on either side of him.
Yeah.
And then actually, you're more specifically, he yelled, you know I was Schindler in Schindler's list, right?
It's even funny.
Which is very funny.
He wasn't just in it.
He was Shindler.
I know I've talked about this.
He's on the board.
He's coming up soon on our show.
He's been doing a bit.
And like, it feels like something like from a bygone era,
where guests would come back and do the same bit
every time they were in a talk show.
But every time he comes now,
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 PRB.
Oh, he reads 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.
It's the first time he's hearing it.
Oh, yeah.
He really was exactly who you want him to be.
Very lovely.
Very, very caring and lovely guy.
A man who gets it.
All right.
So, no Andy.
And we have an idea for what we're going to do in this pod.
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 an hour.
Bullshit for half an hour.
You know it.
We're right on schedule.
So, I mean, we are professionals at this.
Woo!
So the idea was, what if we talk about a non-Lonle Island sketch?
And then we kicked around some, like, S&L sketch ideas.
And then we're like, or what if it was just like a sketch from something else?
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 quays.
And so Keeve sent one that I hadn't seen.
Oh, you hadn't seen that?
I hadn't seen it.
It's fantastic.
It's from a Matt Berry-Ritchfulture show.
Oh, 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 Snuffbox.
And it was on, it was one.
BBC 3.
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 to him
was Garth Marengay's Dark Places.
Of course.
But I'm going to predate 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 Harold improviser.
He is one of the sweetest human beings.
Matt Barry is so good in Garth Morangy's Dark Place that I thought...
This is a weird compliment, but I thought he was overdubbed.
Yeah.
Like he had done the performance and then they overdubbed him as a joke because his voice is so...
I never had a buddy like you.
That's not a bad Matt Barry.
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 plays like a Howard Parker type.
Yeah.
But which is true for him in real life.
I mean, his voice is incredible.
Do you know the yes scene from Toast of London?
Yeah.
Yeah, where he's doing yes, every version of yes.
It's very trouble on Duky Island recording session.
Yeah.
There's a great name of the guy.
Hold on real quick.
I'm looking at the Wikipedia page for Snuffbox.
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 this Wikipedia page.
Toast of London, I think, is on, like, Netflix or something, right?
Wait, so you couldn't find it.
It's, like, where's the DVD?
Is it like, you have to get it on eBay or some shit?
Now, now I think we could just buy it.
Let's see, Snuffbox DVDs.
Okay, 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 Snuffbox DVD right now on 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 quades in Foggy London Town, if you could help us out.
That would be great.
Oh, it says it's on hoopla.
Yeah.
So now it's on, but like hoopla.
Sorry, hoopla sounds like Bongo Hub.
Hoopla is like canopy.
It's a library app where it's free with a library card.
Oh, that's really good.
I mean, because there was that time early aughts,
if you wanted stuff from like late 90s,
I think we've talked to this board,
but like I had a DVD player in my apartment
that only played DVDs from England.
Oh yeah,
like a region six DVD player or whatever it's called.
And so if you wanted like Nathan Barley
or Garth Morengue 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 got to get hoopla.
Hoopla is pretty easy.
Yeah, hoopla once you have hoopas.
You have a library card.
You have children.
Since we're sort of talking about some of our favorite sketches here.
Keeb, do you want to 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, got it.
So he's in a soundbox.
What do you call it?
Soundbiz.
Recording studio, sound booth, yeah.
He's in a soundbox, famously, what they're called.
You're not sharing right now if you think you are, said.
I'm about to.
Okay, great.
And a 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 just whispering.
Uh, hey Stephen, that was really good.
Um, 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.
Um, let's just try without the script.
Might just loosen your eyes.
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 check 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 hear me yes i can hear you clem fandango
honestly this is going so great but i just think there was a little loss of energy on that last take maybe
Try one more.
Okay, ready to go?
Yeah.
What?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I mean, I mean, just a great comedy voice because it's an all-time.
It's an all-time great voice.
I believe two of those guys who are in the booth
are in the sketch of Cardinal Burns
and did another very, very funny audition sketch
called Firing Hawk, which you should look up
because it's fucking amazing.
Well, that's what's save it for a future episode.
Okay.
Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango.
Clem Fandango.
This is Clem Fandango.
It is that choice you make, and again,
Forte has never missed the opportunity
to give 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.
So much better.
Well, likes your sauce.
Clemfangango is so much better.
All right, so, yeah, set this one up, Keev.
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.
Anyways.
I don't know.
It probably doesn't even need a setup,
except for people not watching visually on the YouTube.
It's called Fuck You.
You can just look up 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, streets of 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 chivalry's dead, but I think you're making a pretty strong case for its revival.
Well, I'm always ready to help her, uh, beautiful lady.
I help the ugly ones as well, but I'd 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.
Fuck you.
Just immediately a piece of shit.
I hate interrupting it for people that are watching,
but for those that aren't,
he basically just immediately dropped the,
just cold a drop to that fish tank on the ground,
said fuck you, and ran away.
Yeah.
And then it pans up.
You know, also there's a very beautifully,
shot sketch. It looks great. And I think that's really worth noting because I know everything in England
costs like five pounds to shoot. You know what I mean? 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. They look heavy. Let me take these to your table.
Thank you, handsome. The gin and tonics for my sister, Ruth.
This one is for Stacy.
Hello.
And if you could hand this one to my boyfriend.
Fuck you.
Whiskey!
Whiskey!
Whizket!
Oh, no.
Now we have a woman sort of looking at realty listings through a window.
Look at that woman over there.
No, you .
By the estate agents.
What, the woman?
Well, she wants to buy a house.
You're so naive.
Who really knows women's magazines?
Yeah.
Yeah.
You see, where you see champagne, I see .
She clearly wants to be picked out.
What makes you such an expert?
I wasn't made an expert.
I was born one.
Watch this.
Nice little buildup.
So this is Beat 3, right?
Yeah.
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?
Because 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?
Well, that's interesting.
Are these edited together?
That's a good question.
I think that they are.
Oh.
Don't they feel like that like they're, like, they're spreading 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 would change everything.
So why would a beautiful woman like you'd be looking at flats in a neighborhood like that?
Mungalise, Tuesday, F.
What does that mean?
It means why I put bay windows on a shit house?
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 what my boyfriend was saying the other day.
Fuck you.
Take the part.
Threw it through the window of a jaguar.
Yeah, they had kind of nicely set up a vintage, classic car.
Yeah.
It just happened to be 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.
It looks like it's not shatterproof.
It's perfectly done.
Now this is fun.
You just see a hot lady crouching over two dogs, and now you're just excited.
Hello, that beautiful.
Oh, hello.
I guess I need a shorter lead.
Oh, thank you so much.
You're such a gentleman.
Well, it has been said that I'm a gentleman,
but never a gentle man.
Can I accompany you in your journey?
Sure.
I've got to get Scruffy back to my boyfriend
and then I'm stuck you.
Punt's the dog, then punt the other one
who's a separate person's dog
for no reason.
Hey, the other thing, because we were talking about Manberry
and one of the things you were discussing
about the Santa Gold song last week
is, is it too good a song and not funny enough?
He, on purpose, has, like, non-fundery.
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.
Yeah. Take My Hand
is the name of the song. Can you just...
Oh, yes. Do take my hand, yeah. Because I think
we want to hear the version where it's him singing it.
That one, yeah. Oh, my God. Also, the album
cover is so great. Him with a hawk.
Yeah. In the woods.
Oh, the album's called Witch Hazel.
No, it's not a hawk.
A pheasant.
It's not too far from me, though I don't know you.
You don't know me. I just have.
It's disarmingly good.
That is not what I thought it was going to sound like at all.
It's genuinely great.
Yeah, it's surprising from Jim, yeah.
Pete Serafinovitz, who's another great comedian, is also involved with that album.
I think Matt played most of the instruments.
I heard it was inspired by the movie, uh, 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 they would want to overwhelm you with that.
And 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 is called Billy Dreamer.
And it's just a guy who's dreaming of stuff,
but all of his dreams are completely mundane and, like, 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 in color.
But really good runner as well.
It is officially a runner.
We're hearing from Kevin Miller now.
Yes.
Especially a runner.
That's how I was going to show you.
Look, I just pulled it up on Hoopla.
The library app.
Yeah.
Do you download a hoopla?
As you can see right here,
we're six minutes into a random episode here.
I'm on episode five, I think.
Yeah.
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, Quades, it's Akiva.
I'm interrupting the podcast here to say that Rich Fulcher
sent us a voice note about Snuff Box.
Please enjoy.
Snuff Fox is a really obscure dark musical sketch show that broadcast on the BBC at 11 p.m. 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 Fulcher, from the
The Mighty Bush. But you probably know me best from coaching Seth Myers' improv team in Chicago,
grits in the 90s. Now, Snuffbox is six episodes, and Matt and I play hangmen 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 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 Snuffbox
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 Snuffbox right now.
Celebrity fans include Paul Rudd,
Simon Pegg, Weird Al,
and SNL's Jonathan Crud.
who used the show as one of the inspirations for the Nick Kroll show.
Thanks, guys, for letting me talk about SnuffBox.
And Seth, remember your zip-s-ups!
Okay, thanks again to the amazing Rich Fultcher for sending that.
And now, here's the other half of Snuffbox, Matt Berry.
Good afternoon.
This is Matt Berry here to add my two bob to the Snuffbox discussion.
To be honest, it's a bit of a blur, the whole thing.
It's a long time ago, 20 odd years.
And as 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,
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 Snuffbox 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.
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 show.
shock and try and upset the BBC. I'm just chuffed that 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 Fultor 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.
The YouTube compilation of a runner.
Yeah.
But you know what?
We got to talk about Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher, 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?
The Goon Show.
Yes.
Bob and Ray, Caesar's Hour.
This one says that Richard Ayahuati's in the episode that I'm looking at.
I don't see him, but it says he's in the...
You guys I feel 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, they all seem to, like, know
each other and feel pals and we all fucking hate each other you know what we do we turn on each other i mean
even within this podcast there's a lot of issues we're still working through but i don't agree with
that oh boy sorry good one yoram good point yorm good point yorme nice joke um so but hey another thing i
thought uh keve yorm if you guys would sign off on this like this might be a fun thing for quades to
suggest to us sketches they love. Yeah, for sure. I would love that. S&L or otherwise. Yeah. So another
British sketch I want to talk about. I actually did an interview for Vulture. Asked me once,
is there a sketch you love? And so I've actually talked about the sketch before. But it's from
Smith & Jones, which was a British sketch show 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.
Enter! Hi Hitler. General Gruber. I am Rubber. 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 with my eyes shut.
I see.
I'm also the Nazi general who says,
you see, Captain, we are not all barbarian.
I'm basically stoop.
The Nazi general with a steely street to my character.
You'll find that I'm always removing my gloves.
So, I disapproval of other generals being measured for new uniforms.
And I'm also the one who is always winding up the telephone and saying,
Get me the fuel!
Gentlemen,
Mr. Man, allow me to introduce myself.
General von Dunker, I am the slightly pervy general.
And I may also be a little bit gay.
Ha'li-la!
As you can see, I have a twitch.
And I am always dabbing my mouth with a hangacheet,
because I have no lips.
Really accurate.
Good evening, gentlemen.
I am Ketzler.
I am the easygoing general who does not need to salute Bobberley.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
You're 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 want to say we're two minutes in.
We've already were the rule of fours, right?
It's cugin.
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'm still very impressed with the move they use for the last beat.
Gentlemen, no matter.
Forgive my late arrival, but as you can see, I have a lot of this.
So he's dressed like the fourth general, and he's trying to steal that move.
and the Ford General tells him that's him.
Of course, I am a little bit gay.
And I dab my lips,
I think you will find that it's me, my brother.
In which case, I must immediately find out your telephone and say,
Get me the fur!
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 mean no choice.
I am the Nazi general who is outwardly calm,
but subject to sudden and inexplicable facts of silver!
I mean, 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 89-ish.
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, like, I feel like a lot of English people can do a fake German or speak German really well, which I'm always surprised by because there's something about that.
That sketch shows from 1989?
That was 1989, I believe, yeah.
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 Kung Fury and I was playing Hitler and it's a movie that may never come out,
it's very, very sad.
Michael Fastbender's in it.
I got to fight Arnold Schwarzenegger, who's 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 facetimed Seth as Hitler. You did. And he
picked up in an airport and I was like, hi, Seth. And he was like, immediately hung up on me.
Just like, no. Nope. 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.
Made it much funnier to me.
So thank you, Seth.
The show, I believe, is called Alas, Smith & 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.
Don't even think about trying to escape.
Yeah.
This fucking turn is so good.
But, yeah, it's a great sketch.
That sketch, I feel, also, is a...
You could teach in a sketchwriting class.
And it breaks...
It does break the laws of threes, and it's...
Yeah, right.
It's not rule of threes.
It's more delightful than that.
Twice, the fourth one and then the fifth one.
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.
We will.
Or Fave Runners.
If you have a Fave Runner, those are fun.
I mentioned one Fave Runner, so, you know, I mix that box.
Yeah, gotcha.
Oh, and real quick, Jack Black.
Spelling B.
Spelling B.
Andy, if you send in a voice note, we'll play it now.
Quibi.
Seth knows what I'm talking about.
Love you, Seth.
Later, Arnold.
Later, Quaid's.
Later, Matt Berry.
Yes.
Later, Rich Fulcher.
Later, Quades!
