Ten seconds from Loriot's "Ödipussi" (1987)
Morning! I hadn't heard of him until last week, but continuing with the unintentional theme of German enertainers, below is a wordless sketch from the late Vicco von Bulow, or Loriot, a writer, comedian and animator for whom I can't think of any English-speaking equivalent. This is why I always sit in the seat I have been allocated. Also, interruptions are funny.
It's too easy to label comedy as brave or risky (apart from Nanette, obv) but the chutzpah necessary to do a two minute gag that not only repeats itself, but ends in exactly the manner you expect, yet still make it funny shows how bold this sketch is. Incredible. The closest approximation I can make is Two Soups, with the confidence to know the payoff is worth the wait.
ReplyDelete*wrongly label etcetc
DeleteLoriot is in no hurry certainly, but I could proabbly have watched another two minutes of that. . Stupidly I'm not sure I was expecting that end.
