Histeria!/Funny
- Chit Chatterson plays a boat salesman to Ivar the Boneless, a viking who sounds like John Cleese, who is planning to invade England and has come to purchase a ship with a savage-looking figurehead. Chit shows him boats with figureheads of a kitten, a baby duck, a puppy, and a butterfly, claiming them to be a lion, a dragon, a wolf, and a hawk, respectively, and tries without success to convince his customer that these figureheads are anything but what they actually are.
Ivar: There's nothing scary here at all, is there? It's like all your ship's figureheads are being designed by a three-year-old! |
- Froggo's reactions to not being given a bag of marshmallows and a crate of leeches, and then a tambourine and a vat of spam, in "The History of Flight".
- Loud's rant to Christopher Columbus in "Around the World in a Daze":
Columbus: Crow's nest! You see anything? |
- Loud Kiddington's outing as Erik The Red also gave him a funny lookout job, demonstrating how vikings kept land in sight in order to navigate.
Loud: (quietly as crew sleeps) See it...see it...see it...<gasp> DON'T SEE IT! <crew wakes up and rows frantically> DON'T SEE IT! DON'T SEE IT! <whew> See it...See it... |
- After their journey to North America, entailing WEEKS if not MONTHS of being out of sight of land with Loud's ceaseless screaming...
Viking crew: (exhausted) We saw it...we saw it...we saw it... |
- Anything involving Lucky Bob. For example:
Lucky Bob: I spy, something that begins with the letter "B". |
- Makes a little bit of sense (but still not enough, considering Lucky Bob), when he probably meant Bite of Chocolate. The chocolate bar he showed had a big bite mark on it.
- Bill Straitman interviewing Hakon the Good about how vikings named their swords.
Bill Straitman: Well, tell us, what is this one called? |
- Toast delivering pizza to Rene Descartes:
Toast: Pizza's here! |
- "Hi gang, Pop Quiz here! We ask several historical questions for our players then act flabbergasted at their overwhelming ignorance!"
- From the Superwriters sketch:
Edgar Allan Poe: I've just completed a rewrite we can all be proud of! Johnathan Livingston's Seagull is now a bloodthirsty vampire bat named Caroline, who is mysteriously compelled to fly into the propeller of an airplane, on the first page! [laughs evilly] |
- "Super Amazing Constitutions":
Andrew Jackson: Now listen up! I'm General Andrew Jackson! |
- At the end of the sketch where Elmer Fudd, as Gutzon Borglum, and Loud, as his son Lincoln, build Mt. Rushmore:
Elmer: Aah, finished! West and wewaxation at wast! And thanks to your help, it only took fouteen yeaws to compwete. |
- From Presidential People, a catchy YMCA-style number starring George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and Thomas Jefferson as the Motorcycle Cop, the Cowboy, the Construction Worker, and the Native American.
