A trial sketch in which the verdict is given in charades. The foreman mimes a
fish for "Gill" and then drinking tea for "tea". But the jude decides the word
is "cup."

Hey looky, I can be useful as well as silly, but not a very large amount of
useful.
The bit is from one of the many court scenes, in this one they are all
playing charades, and the judge asks the foreman of the jury how they find
the defendant.
The foreman does the usual "two words, first word" bit, then makes the
action of tying a rope, the judge guesses "knot" after a few attempts, the
foreman then does the "second word, two syllables" movements and makes a
fish face and flaps his hands next to his neck, "gills", the foreman makes
the "shorter word movement" and the judge says "gill", he then makes the
"second word, second syllable" movement and makes like he is holding a cup
and saucer with his pinky out and taking sips. The judge then says "cup"
and goes on to say "We find the defendant not Gill Cup, case dismissed".
There, wasn't that a far more fun and entertaining reply than Episode 16.3,
sketch 24a5, 12 minutes in, just before the exploding penguin.[1]

Interestingly a gill is an archaic word to describe a glass of
wine, juice, oil et cetera.

Goodness me! Thank you *so* much for clearing that up! I can now live my life
happily and securely in the knowledge that people like you still exist,
vigilant in the never-ending duty of NOT HAVING A BLOODY SENSE OF HUMOUR!

Pardon me all the way to hell. I didn't realize "trying to answer a question,"
and "not having a sense of humor" were the same thing.
Sheesh.

Lemme 'splain something in case it's not in the FAQ: One of the great joys of
this NG -- indeed, one of the great joys of life itself -- is responding to a
reference from a Python bit with another reference from a Python bit. A thread
develops and it's titty jokes galore... oh, sorry... loads o' fun to see where
it leads.
You, sir, broke the chain, and you did so by assuming (incorrectly) that I had
asked a question about it. This is not unlike having a fish put down one's
trousers or when one's sodding hamster dies; it ruins the mood.
Not wishing to start a flame war, I remain...

When you ask a question, and I respond as though you asked a question, in the
spirit of trying to help someone clarify something that for all I knew they
really weren't remembering clearly, it's kind of snotty to then turn around and
accuse me of having no sense of humor. Unless, of course, "humor" around here
is defined as "parroting (appriopriately enough) python bits."

No seriousness takes place on the premises of this ng.
Got it?
Because if you can't handle the silliness you'll never make it around here. (we
have man-eating members who will simply devour you after your third
misinterpretation of a silly bit.)
thank you

This is just a pet peeve of mine, but ever since I had to produce
a video linking together lots of british comedy skits in grade 7
I've sided against the use of the word "humour". It has had so
many meanings and uses over the years it is almost meaningless.
I much prefer the word "comedy", which clearly has a firmer
connection to theatre, film, and people laughing.
