Is the Ministry of Goofy Walks the American version of the British Ministry of Silly Walks?
Are they required to keep a straight face as well?
That “Separation of Church and State” prevents the U.S. from having anything called a “Ministry.” As an avid MPFC fan, I’m donning a black armband. This is a dark day, indeed.
*covers Silly Walks Honorable Mention plaque with black cloth*
‘That “Separation of Church and State” prevents the U.S. from having anything called a “Ministry.”’
.
Umm… What?
In the U.S., there is a doctrine that separates Church and State. For that reason, we don’t have government offices called “Ministries.”
Oh, btw, does this mean there are Americans who think that all the other ministries and ministers of this and that around the world are some sort of clergy?
Speaking for myself only, Royalty as Head of Church is a baffling notion.
Aye, totally…
Only the English Church tho. You’d have to ask Henry VIII about that.
North of the border, the whole idea produced plenty of intolerance and blood all over the place…
I think I heard a rumour or two about that… ;^)
To answer your question accurately: No, we know the “Minister of ___” is not some form of clergy. That said, I (personally) don’t understand the business about the Queen being the head of the Church of England.
Hear, hear. But dem Brits are crazy like dat. ;P
That has GOT to be the best explanation, EVAR!!
.
By the way, how is it that you are entirely OUTSTANDING in the English language?
Thank you for the compliment! Many reasons, I think, but mostly it’s a birth defect – having a mother who teaches the Swedish language (and religion, but that’s another story ;P ) has given me an interest in grammar and spelling, and most of all a fascination with the powers that good usage of any language gives a person.
I think what’s fascinating about you is your use of idiom, truly the most difficult part of a living language. Do you speak/listen frequently to British, American, or others?
(New theory: it’s the smilies that make posts not post. I’ll try to repeat my response-attempt, without smilies, and see what happens!)
.
Well, yes, we do subtitling (hur, hur, I wrote “tit”) in Sweden, not dubbing/voice-over (except for in shows and movies for little kids). So basically everything I watch on TV has the dialogue in American or British English, and I think that helps a lot. Then, of course, I’ve been an Internet-creature for well over ten years now, and that might be as important a source, especially when it comes to more colloquial expressions.
.
One fun thing about Swedes speaking English is that we tend to mix American and British words (and pronounciation, for that matter) rather wildly, since there has been a tendency to teach British English in our schools, while most of the popular culture has been dominated by American TV and music. I often mess up in the usage of lift/elevator, flat/apartment, subway/underground and such.
That’s all right, I often mix up BrE and AmE usage in my everyday speech and I’ve lived in the US all my life. In writing I’m usually consistent one way or the other; many of my side jobs editing translations are texts for publication in Europe where BrE is the norm so I’ve learned to write in “pure” BrE as well as AmE.
I’m glad there’s only one Swedish. ;oP
Your usage is stellar. Who said TV wasn’t edjakashunal? As for mixing English and American, you are likely in safe company here. Many of us have been exposed to “the other English” at some point, and can usually decipher the common usage glitches between us. Slan is a great example! : D
@slanagat: Having moved to Australia four years ago, I’ve had to change a lot about my writing/speaking style. I’ve learned the use of the letter ‘U’ in words like coloUr, favoUrite, etc. plus learning to drop ‘the’ in sentences. For example, here you don’t go to THE hospital, you just go to hospital. There’s a whole host of other words I’ve had to relearn and sometimes it just does my head in. The only reason I’ve adopted the style here is I was getting tired of people looking at me like I was ignorant!
My parents lived in England for about 3 years while my dad was preaching. My mother said that it was so hard to learn to drive on the ‘wrong’ side of the road that she catches herself wanting to do it still, 30 years later. They also knew another American family living there who had two children who spoke British English at school (complete with accent) and American English at home. It was really rather confusing : )
Code switching like that is a surprisingly common phenomenon. You probably know several people who absorb accents like sponges, let them spend significant time away and they sound like they’ve lived there all their lives.
For added fun, I usually spend an hour or so a night on Skype with my sweetie in Northampton (UK). Not only do I absorb her accent when we’re talking, but it comes out when I’m tired in other contexts as well (we usually talk right before bed).
I have a bad habit of mimicing. (sp???). It drives my husband nuts! It used to be picking up slight accents everywhere I went, now it presents as picking up slang and ethnic-talk depending on who I’ve just spent 10 minutes around. I have to fight it. I was never as bad as actually using a completely different accent (it’s hard to do that when you have a country drawl, lol), but the staccato of my voice will change depending on who I’m listening to.
That reminds me of the Woody Allen movie, /Zelig./
Oops. My reply ended up being in the wrong spot. Alas, this time I can’t blame PK – I simply clicked the wrong “reply here”-link.
I spent about a week at camp with some folk from Glasgow. For ages afterwards the only adjective I used was “pure” and all my sentences had a Glaswegian “but” on the end. It was truly awful.
They all spoke like:
“Cannae be bothered but.”
and
“It’s pure minging but.”
Speaking like a wegie’s contagious.
@AC: The Glaswegians called. They want their buts back.
Have you been grabbing Glaswegian butts again? You’re liable to get yourself a Glasgow kiss that way.
Wow–I had to look that up. Thank you for the new fun term! One of my cats gives me a Glasgow kiss every morning and night, at least. Now we have a name for it!
)
Well, it’s good to know that the AmE/BrE-switching isn’t too much of a bother.
)
)
( )
As for the pronounciation-switching I think I might be doing a bit of what froofrou describes and change it a bit according to how my discussion partner sounds.
.
(I also do that in Swedish, though less now than when I was young. Er. I always worry that the person I talk to will take offense, thinking I am mocking their dialect or something.
You wrote:
“I’m glad there’s only one Swedish”
You mean only one written Swedish. My guess is that you are from Svealand and don’t travel much outside your part of Sweden.
There are a lot of very different spoken Swedish dialects. Old English could easily pass as just another Swedish dialect.
As for myself, I think (and rarely speak) in a Swedish dialect that has kept most of the grammar from Old Norse and have not been as influenced by Low German as TV Swedish. Because of all inflections you can mix the order of words pretty much how you like and easily ignore saying half of them. Because I’m from a sea town where people have done a lot of trading with other parts of the world, since at least three thousand years, I have a very extended vocabulary compared to Sveamål. The most prominent influences being from Modern Norse, Scottish, English, High German, French, Italian, Spanish, Lingua Franca and Latin.
In my dialect the combination of consonants within a word change the pronunciation of vocals in it. As a side effect, people from some parts of my birth town don’t need to pronounce any consonants when they speak. I have yet to find any pronunciation of any vocal in any other language that don’t exist in my dialect.
Of course, my dialect (as many other Swedish dialects) is totally unwritable with Latin characters. I’m not even sure it is writable with any existing phonetic alphabet.
“My guess is that you are from Svealand and don’t travel much outside your part of Sweden.”
.
Oh, don’t make assumptions. ;oP My comment about only one Swedish was more light-hearted than serious.
I can only imagine the lulz you get from us Americans when and if
you use the British meaning of “Rubber” (An eraser) since our
usage of “a rubber” means a condom.
So, does that also mean that the Secretary of State doesn’t have to type and file?
LMAO!! Can you imagine Hillary’s reaction on discovering that she was *actually* hired to sort files? “Secretary” means “secret keeper,” and it used to be that only men were trusted for such tasks.
Very interesting, that. I’d no idea.
Well, you learn something new every day.
Oh!! You’re *such* a Word Nerd [tm]!
`
[floats on cloud like little cartoon dog when given a treat]
Thank you, Tess! You can call me “Word” for short.

Word to my (r)homie!
LMAO!! I heard you had a hard day.
*gives slan extra piece of rhubarb ginger crumble*
Awwwww. Happy Thanksgiving, sweetie. :shares crumble:
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Dear!
*OM NOM NOM NOM*
I believe it goes back to the days of Thomas Beckett. Henry VIII wanted a divorce, the RCC said no, and Henry directed Beckett to split from the RCC. Hence, the Church of England and the Monarch being the head of the church.
-
If my history is incorrect, please, someone correct me.
Can someone correct you, even if you’re right?
Well sure, but they might look a bit silly!
…and fear of looking silly has stopped me, when?
True, you lean to the left a bit.. :p
So do you!!
P
*points to Eds’s voter registration card*
D’oh!!!
The probable reason you (and a lot of other people) don’t understand about HRH Elizabeth being the head of the Church of England is because she is not! The monarch is “Defender of the Faith”, a whole different ballgame. Parliament has more to do with the running of the English state church than does the crown, a fine example of why we Yanks have a consitutional prohibition of an “established church”.
As to “ministers”, the governmental definition is “One to whom the sovereign or executive head of a government intrusts the management of affairs of state, or some department of such affairs.” (MyDictionary.net)
Thank you, Yonkel!

.
I’m impressed that you were able to pick my sincere question out of the confusing word choices. Do you work with the insane as a living? ;o)
.
When Danbala and I were writing each other, our posts were popping up, seemingly randomly, all over the threads. The general atmosphere at that time was one of confusion. (Our conversation makes a lot more sense in one place, in chronological order, truly!)
.
Thank you for clearing up the confusion about the Queen’s role in the Church. It’s none of my business, but I’ve been baffled about my mistaken impression that the top Royal Family member would be automatically regarded as the head of the Church. “Defender” sounds like a much nicer job. ~_O
…but we have “Administrations,” which is weird.
*Note to self: Ask doctor for better sleep medication.*
Why is that weird? (I just seem to be getting more confozzled.)
Sorry to drag you into my personal hell, Dear! ; )
No worries, being dragged into various hells is a favourite pastime of mine.
I like the cut of your cloth, Dear!
I rather like the moxy displayed as well.
Yep, she’s definitely one of us!
)
Ooer… Why does this worry me? ;oP
*hands Danbala a Chinese Puzzle Box*
Time to play.
PK eats my posts. I’ll just try to briefly say that I wish I had a clever comment for this, but will settle for saying that I find Pinhead curiously irresistible…
Curious nothing! He’s a master of S+M, the whole point of the cenobites being that they bring the promise of ultimate pleasure and pain. And apparently Clive Barker’s inspiration were S+M clubs in NY and Amsterdam. It’s no surprise people find him irresistible. I think your feeling is completely valid.
Well, yes, I know that, really. : ) (It’s one of the most recurring movies in discussion topics on SM-forums I frequent.) Still, the cenobite approach is not really that close to mine. But yeah. You’re right, “curiously” was probably not the correct word there. How curious that I used it…
Yes, curious.
*rolls down sleeves of penguin flannel jammies*
I’m not yours, and wait…there are satirical site commentators in me?!
LMAO!! *hugs*
Sorry for the copyright infringement. I’m sure we can settle out-of-court.
*Hands HHNF a box of bon-bons*
I demand a sacrifice! I will say ni again to you if you do not appease me! I want….a shrubbery!!!!
*Sets healthy 3-gallon containerized Viburnum dilatatum ‘Cardinal Candy’ at Hell’s feet. Considers getting the bon-bons back, but abandons the idea. Dashes off quickly across the street, scooting deftly between honking cars. Hides in Starbucks, behind a Republican-looking dude.*
Ok Miss Master G, what the crap is a Viburnum Dilatatum? Dont’ make me google it. You won’t like me when I google. : )
Ooohhh noooeeezzz! Don’t Google!
The V. dilatatum, cultivar ‘Cardinal Candy’ is a purty-purty shrubbery. (link)
I ran in here because I was afraid of HHNF, but the Republican-looking dude turns out to be really nice. He’s been buying me fancy coffee products all day. I’ve learned a lot today. You conservatives look better through caffeine goggles.
Oops–Hopefully this link will work.
It’s okay, I live in the home of all evil names for fancy coffee, Seattle. And it’s mostly Liberals here. I’m not THAT scary, save for at 5am when I look like a homeless drug-addicted hooker. “give me all your taxes in the form of welfare!!!!” lol
LOL–”Homeless drug-addicted hooker” is my signature style. It’s not just for breakfast, you know…
I’m incredibly skittish about evil coffee names, but it’s mainly because it’s against my religion to doctor up a perfect thing. That said, I love Cafe du Monde coffee with chicory, and have been known to eat chocolate covered coffee beans.

I need to hit the books, and decipher “ministry.” I’m sure “ministry” is related to “administration,” but I’ve never thought about why we use one word and not the other. Did we screw everything up? (Flamers beware: I’m mean!)
Yes… As far as I can figure it out, both words stem from the latin word for servant. Apparently (in English) “minister” and “ministry” have been tainted with ambiguous religious usage (as in “servant of god” etc., I suppose). In Swedish we don’t have any religious versions of the minister-word, hence my initial confusion. “Administration” probably has had the good fortune to steer clear of religious connotations.
By Jove (ha!), I think you’ve got it! : )
Just for explanation’s sake: I have posted about 7 or 8 posts responding to various posts of yours today. Most seem to get eaten by PK. I feel a bit consored. So, if things are not making sense, it might be that posts are just stuck in some Pundit Lardery somewhere.
PK is definitely acting up, but I think our posts are in one place. Anyway, as patchy as this conversation is, I started out thinking that we didn’t use the word “ministry” because we strictly adhere to separating church and state. That said, to me, it’s clear that the word “administration” comes from the same root as “ministry.” It’s kind of hard to follow our conversation, as some of it has appeared at the top, and some at the end of the posts.
It all sorted eventually. Girl, this lack of a sleep pattern will be the end of you….
Tell me about it–Jeez! Lately, it seems that every 4-5 days I pull an all-nighter. I’m not much for medication, but this situation is making me crazy. Well, at least the upcoming holiday will sort out my schedule…
*headdesk*
That isn’t just wrong, it’s stupidly wrong.
The use of “minister” to mean “clergyman” is about 100 years younger than the use of “minister” to mean “government officer”. American word usage has nothing to do with it.
Daft.
I certainly didn’t indicate that American usage changed the meaning of the word, and I clearly stated that I didn’t know the usage history. (…and neither did you, before you Googled it.) Pull that stick out and don’t be so quick to judge: It’s not attractive.
Sarcasm.
It cannot be explained, it must be experienced.
There are no separation of church and state since the first Bush in the white house.
lol rednecks in power!
amtronic you fail the internet. It’s silly walks.
^^^WIN^^^
it’s SILLY walks people. SILLY walks.
Yes, but in that country it *just might* be the Ministry of Goofy Walks.
BTW, I see PK finally decided to give us all a break from their endless diatribes against conservatives, and exultant laudations of progressives…I likey the non-political LOLs!
why are you looking for “non-political LOLs” on Lol News & Politics?
Because some of them are actually funny.
They’re a whole lot funnier than all the “Epic Win” ones.
Because sometimes just news stuff is funny without all the debating. For instance, during the Olympics we had some good lols.
Maybe they don’t want to be sued over usage of a title given on a copyrighted, syndicated show. Or just insulted in a very roundabout way by John Cleese.
Roundabout, but would have been funny as hell!!!
*facepalm*
*hijacks*
So I heard that Ann Coulter broke her jaw and now it’s wired shut?
Fellating Bill Maher in a back-alley sex scandal?
There’s a pic we’d have fun captioning. And because of that image, I will not be able to sleep tonight.
Here’s a better one for you from a few threads back:

Rush Limbaugh wearing a ball gag while Ann Coulter does him from behind.

You pleasantly shock me Froo!
It’s always pleasant when I shake people ; )
Ooh–loves me a pile-on!
*pleasantly shakes, then shocks PM*
(eyes the tazer in rhorho’s hand) Are you sure you understand the context here? Aw, hell, I don’t care either- love to be the base of a pile-on even if you don’t!
*Rolls out of pile to catch breath*
What context? Am I going to have to learn more pop culture?
*Jumps back in, wiggling her way to the bottom*
I don’t think my brain can formulate that mental picture, sorry. It’s just horrible to even contemplate!
*facepalm*

*wankpalm*
She was a very cunning linguist.
I had to.
Puh-leeze. Like that lil weenie would tax a parakeet’s beak, let alone Annie’s freakishly huge anvil-like jaw.
I’m torn. I despise the woman, and I’m convinced she’s evil, but it’s against my religion to take pleasure in another’s pain. Darn my liberal pagan soul!
I think I have this one covered.
Dear PM, Take pleasure in the mirth of others, and the happiness the lack of venom-spew will bring to everyone within earshot. Receive joy from the fact that fewer gullible people will read the new book she would otherwise be actively promoting. Enjoy the silence!
There–no bad thoughts there, amirite?
Ah, Depeche Mode…
You caught that? Dang, YOU’re old! : D
Your own personal Jesus, woman, haven’t you been paying attention? :^)
My 13 year old kid loves Depeche Mode.
LOL! It’s inspiring when the next generation picks up the classics: Shakespeare, Meet the Press, Depeche Mode…
Yep, if we lived in the world of Logan’s Run I would have ridden the Carousel last year…
I think Farrah Fawcett is on her third ride now…
Thanks for your help, dear.
Have no fear, I can take your place!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
*breathes*
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Meh, I’m pagan myself, but I occasionally do take pleasure in the distress of another. Maybe I’m evil, maybe I’m just a cenobite in training. I try to be a good person, but sometimes I just like to laugh at someone falling down. I doubt I’m alone here.

Oh WOW–I hadn’t heard the news!
*Realizes that Voo-Doo doll was worth the $14.99 plus S/H, after all.*
I heard that too. Couldn’t happen to a nicer hellbeast. But she’s not completely silenced, as her blog is still active. More’s the pity… but then, let her rant and rave. Stifling foolish opinions only gives them undue dignity, after all.
I wonder how she broke her jaw… I would guess a wang-chorfing incident gone awry, but no Republican has junk of that magnitude.
*points at hubby and own bruised jaw*

: )
Video or it didn’t happen.
I’m thinking it hyperextended its jaw while it was feeding…on a litter of kewt puppehs, perhaps?
HAHAHA!!
Maybe one or more of the 9/11 widows broke it for her?
LOL, and LOLing louder, thinking of how much joy Ann Coulter has brought to so much of the country!
Mmm, I am rather satisfied with this bit of news. *sigh*
Early opining had it that her injury was caused by a complication during her adamsapplectomy.
I wonder if Ann Coulter is suing Failblog, for stealing her name…
Oooooooohhhhhh, burn : )
Maybe it was someone visiting from her home planet.
caption fail
*sigh*
*headdesk*….big time caption FAIL
And yet so very close to a win.
As Maxwell Smart used to say, “Missed it by THAT much”
That’s the kicker: This was one Google-check away from super WIN. What kicks is the fact that enough people were foggy enough on deets to vote for this…this…travesty! *sobs*
Gah, yes you EE-DIOT, it’s SILLY WALKS, the bloody Ministry of SILLY WALKS…. sheesh!
Is that like an ewok? Just askin’
I wish I could e-wok my darn chinese dinners. So much easier to ctrl+alt+delete the mess and burned food
Would be a lot better if this person knew their Monty Python well enough to put SILLY walks…

OP = knob jocky.
Gawd… I really don’t know what to say about this… It’s just a complete travesty to all that is Monty Python. Way to go, dipshit.
lol @ all the angry poms
What will be next?
Nobody expects the Portuguese Inquistion!
Life of Brain.
Mexican Indigestion.
Flying Circle.
I have come to expect it, esp from that place on the corner…..
Oh no! The comfy chair! * runs away*
Scandinavian Red Parrot.

The Lower Class Twat of the Year Awards.
And now for something exactly the same.

And now, a man with a tape recorder up his grandmother’s ass….
oh no she didn’t!!!
blink blink, smudge smudge…
Always look on the right side of life
I fart in your general dissection! Your father was a hamper, and your mother smelled of asscherries!
Honestly? I never wanted *that* good a look at John Cleese’s ass.
why not?
Nothing against John Cleese, but those pants are tight well beyond the threshhold of pain, which is not a look that flatters ANY-body’s ass.
The second, beggining from the left, is the (kind of) governor of Euskadi, a part of Spain, and the man in his right is the king of Spain
So, you’re saying it IS the Spanish Inquisition?
l2read. It’s the Portuguese Inquisition dammit
No, the Spanish inquisition minister, is hidden. If he were sworn, he would not be “unexpected”!!!!!!
After all, their chief weapon is surprise…surprise and fear
Their two weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency!
Their three chief weapons are fear, surprise and ruthless efficiency … and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.
Nobody expects the- oh, bugger.
Wow. People get crazy about accurate quotation.
Seriously people, Monty Python probably misquoted himself a few times. The idea was just to crazy go nuts and have a good time. Not tear people down on ‘quotation fail’ after they put together a good piece.
That said, the correct line is ‘ministry of silly walks’, bro, just so’s you get it right next time. But this was awesome.
Kent, Kent, Kent…..misquoted himself?
*administers oxygen, stat*
…uh…
…Monty Python wasn’t an individual person…
…you see where you’re error lies, yes?…
…put him in the Comfy Chair! Let him consider there his sin of professing greater Pythonity than was true!
Your middle name is “Wayne”, rendering your opinion invalid.
I know a couple who’s names are Jayne and Wayne. Never has sending a Christmas card ever been so painful…
Well it is a reference fail, a reference you obvious didn’t see ever. Or you would know that Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a show with a comedy troupe, spiritual predecessors in Great Britain to Saturday Night Live.
Consider yourself educated.
Yep. Because frankly, no one else will consider him educated, after that.
Kent. This is God. Stop touching yourself.
Seth… reference WIN! LOL.
Yeh, Kent… Monty Python and Pink Floyd used to go down to the pub and get pissed…
=)
There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya ’bout the raisin’ of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
By the way, which one’s Pink?
I think he’s the one with that embarrassing southern American cousin, Lynryd Skyryd.
Isn’t he Hootie’s cousin?
“Hims…?” AAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Failtactular.
omigod, PLEASE tell you’re kidding!?!? I can’t imagine anyone having honestly thought that Monty Python was an individual……..bwahahahahahahahahah.
And barring that, look that $hit up, you’re already on the internet you low-brow genius from the scholarly institute of ineptitude.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand my annoyance has been well spent.
Time to go for a (silly) walk….
Do you wave your private parts at his Aunties? His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries, you know.

I think someone from CrooksandLiars must be reading PK- they’ve got that clip on their site today.
Classic MP! It’s one of my favorite skits. And, it translates well to radio also!
its SILLY walks. i can tell tht uve never actually seen Monty Python’s Flying Circus….No Sir, I dont approve!!
Disapproving Rabbit? Is that you, the cousin of killer bunny? The most foul, cruel, bad-tempered rabbit you’ve ever set eyes on?
Ministry of the silly Basques
finally, an identification WIN.
Ah! Say more, please! The suits — and perhaps the “dancer” — are Basque? The “dancer” is Basque and the suits are from Spain? Even more locally (and perhaps more unlikely), from Catalonia? Andorra? Suit-type “powerfuls” tend to be the same all over, once they get power, aren’t they?
Martha, you fail at everything.
Perhaps it’s a Basqued mall.
Oooh, a new contender enters the ring! Welcome to PK and congratulations on your first win……
Oooo! This kid’s goo-ood!

I’m sorry I’m late, my walk has gotten SILLIER lately.

It’s SILLY walks. Not GOOFY walks.
But aside from the error, that’s pretty funny.
DAMN IT! I WANTED THAT JOB!!!

The guy in the middle of the five guys in suits in the back is Rey Juan Carlos, the king of Spain; the guy doing the weird walk/dance (called a dantza) is Basque. The king came to Bilbao a few days ago to talk about ETA, and the dantza is an honorary dance for him.
/Peter Griffin voice/
In honor of his majesty the King, I will do the ceremonial Ass Dance!
Heh heh heh heh heh…
I thought the dance was called an Aurresku.
Americans shouldn’t make monty python references.
they FAIL
But we should invent the interwebs and the sites that the British so love to frequent, on which to insult us.
[bratty voice]
Can and will.
Nyah!
All right. It was supposed to be the Ministry of Silly Walks. But it was one skit, and this is one user who watched it and forgot the name. This is not evidence that “America shouldn’t make monty python references.” Gaff. Deal with it.
Anyone knows that the man dressed in white was dancing?
It’s a Basque Country [Spain] traditional dance. It’s called “Aurresku”, and it’s quite difficult to do, but pretty beautyfull to see.
That should be “The Minister of SILLY Walks.” Someone doesn’t know their Monty Python.
Everyone knows Monty Python’s “Ministry for Silly Walks”. Everyone knows the “Parrot Sketch” as well. Americanizing the caption takes the humour out of it- who cares if you don’t have Ministries…
You never hear anyone talk about “Cat Sketch Not Included”, do you? I’m from Canada, so yes, that IS how humour is supposed to be spelled.
If you had reading comprehension, you would probably know the difference between the main point and an aside. I brought up the word “ministry” as a trivial point, and everyone else but you and a sad troll had no trouble comprehending.
Oh, yes, and it’s likely that the captioner simply didn’t remember the word “Silly,” and substituted the word “Goofy” by mistake. The mistake drew disgust from all.
You know, it’s not all about Americans trying to Americanize everything. It sounds like you have a huge chip on your shoulder. Getting your back bowed up about the spelling of “humo(u)r?” Seriously?? Now you’ve just downgraded yourself to pathetic.
It’s SILLY walks, ignorants… but nice pic anyhow ^^
