I Can't Eat This

Archive for the ‘What's this all about?’ Category

Hello everyone!

I just, in fact I didn’t do it “just”, decided to take a break in blogging.

Will I be back, soon?

I don’t know……………………………..

Do you ever wanted to know where the name of this blog comes from? Sure you do!

“I can’t eat this.” is a line spoken by Mr. Lovebucket in the film “Mr. Jolly lives next door” which is a part of an english comedy series called “The Comic Strip“, screened in the 1980s.

As I am not living in the UK I did not knew this series until an acquaintance brought this video-cassette someone taped for him in England. So we gathered together turned on the tube and I could not believe what I saw: I knew Monty Python and loved them (I still do) for their anarchistic, macabre, silly humor, but what the guys from The Comic Strip did here was more absurd, more outragous and more silly.

Some nice stills from the movie at the estonian full-metal-metsavana

If you wanna watch the whole thing, do it here: Mr. Jolly Lives Next Door

Sorry for linking you to youtoobe, but they don’t allow to embed that video.
The whole series was issued on DVD by BBC UK. I think you’ll get it from amazon or elsewhere.
