That is a parody, by the way, of Flanders & Swan, who most of the people who laugh at it have never heard of. They were very popular in the late 50s, early 60s and Michael Flanders, the one in the wheelchair, had an ability to rhyme that is up there with Gilbert and Cowerd. They were generally very gentile, but sometimes ventured into territory that would now have them on the sexual offenses register.

I need subtitles  :sad:

I get the idea, but I can't really understand everything that they're saying. It took me years of watching movies and TV shows to get a grasp of listening and understanding English but we only have "made in USA" channels on our cable down here, my ears are untrained for other types of accents ...  :-[

Don't feel bad! Most of us Amis really struggle with all those quaint "Island Nation" colloquilisms........
