And now for something completely different, here’s the sketch in question.
If she doesn’t want spam why doesn’t she order Egg and bacon, or egg, sausage, and bacon, which are the first two menu items?
That’s where it fell apart for you? 🤪
Because it wouldn’t be as funny that way.
Don’t cause a fuss.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
That’s part of the joke.
Cuz that’s not got much spam in it.
And the Python programming language was named after that same troupe. :)
A stain on the monty python reputation, no doubt
I mean it’s not like it’s Cobol. Or Perl! Could you imagine?
my favourite bit about this sketch is that they start out listing two dishes with no spam in them, which everyone promptly then forgets.
I always noticed that too…
how has that never occurred to me?? holy shit
True story ; In Australia Hormel were ordered to withdraw an advertising campaign featuring the song “Spam - it’s real spiced ham !” because Spam is not ham and doesn’t contain any spices…
Wait, what is Spam then? I thought that was the whole thing… Sp(iced H)am.
I’m going to be disgusted by the answer, aren’t I?
Pork, ham, and salt, mostly. So it is spiced ham if you consider salt a spice (it’s not).
When I was young I asked my dad what Spam was made of. He told me “Chicken lips and assholes”. My dad is a funny guy.
Hormel uses only the finest assholes available!
That is funny, but not true. They use the most diseased assholes.
…Is the implication here that Americans consider salt a spice, or pork a spice?
What’s the difference between pork and ham? Aren’t they both just pig corpse?
Ham is a specific cut, and is cured. Pork is any pig meat.
Legally you need quotation marks, “pork,” and “ham,” mostly.
No, it is real pork and real ham. It’s mostly the shoulder cuts, but there’s still real ham in there.
Yeah, I thought it was “Shoulder of Pork and Ham”
Spam is an abomination created to short our armed forces of real vittles in World War II, fucking MarArthur that son of a bitch he’s in hell now.
And here I thought it just meant stupid, pointless, annoying message…
Backforming the acronym like whoever named the “Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division”
Yours is better, although it doesn’t have the beautiful music of SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM!
Idk. I heard it decades ago in icq.
don’t forget repeated!
Great watch before I make Spam fried rice for dinner. Thank you.
its also a “ham” preserved sodium nitrate juice.
Senseless Pointless Addendum Message.
Well… sortof
Pretty dark to make jokes about such murder and torture
Ummm… Huh?
