Although this has been around for a while, it's recently come to my attention that many people still haven't experienced the hilariousness that is the 2008 You Tube smash 'Beached Whale', by The Bean Pictures. I don't know what it is - the crude animation, the ridiculousness of being offered a 'chup' when you're clearly up shit creek, or the kiwi accents, (which come on, are just funny!)... But 'beached whale' talk is very 'bug' in our house. Someone wants a drink? They're 'parched as'. Someone wants a shower? They need to get wet - eee-sep!' I can just imagine myself as an old chook in the nursing home, being visited by one of my grandchildren: "You want a chip, Nanna?" "As in a chup? A potatoe chup?" "Yeah, this one - a chup!" "I would do, broo, but I can't eat chups. I can't chew, broo." "Well that's shut." "Yeah it is. Now off you goo, broo. Nanna wants to watch 'Lost' - I'm pretty sure they'll get off the island this week."
So anyway, if you were living under a rock last year, here's 'Beached Whale'. Enjoy.
Ah thanks Cath.
That really did tickle my funny bone.
I must have been living under a rock last year cos I didn't catch that one. I've seen the T-shirts everywhere but didn't really get it.
Cheers Bro!
