This is the first time that I’ve enjoyed a video of “Dead Parrot Sketch” performed by anyone but John Cleese and Michael Palin:
The story: A pair of Nigerian 419 scammers were scammed into performing the sketch by a group who pride themselves on wasting the time and resources of such scammers. If you haven’t heard about this before, they’re known as Scambaiters and have perpetrated some pretty amusing hoaxes.
The solemnity with which Nigerian John Cleese recites his lines is more than I expected.
