3
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,444
Madison Square Garden.
4
00:04:00,115 --> 00:04:01,324
New York City.
5
00:04:04,911 --> 00:04:09,040
I started my career in London,
at Covent Garden,
as a street performer.
6
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,667
Covent Garden
is an area in London.
7
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,878
We used to call it
"the Garden."
8
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:16,506
We used to go out
and do shows in the Garden.
And now I'm at The Garden.
9
00:04:20,594 --> 00:04:22,971
A long fucking way.
10
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:25,223
And it's
the American Dream, baby.
It's the American Dream.
11
00:04:25,223 --> 00:04:28,018
But in fact, I'm European,
so it's the European dream.
12
00:04:30,061 --> 00:04:31,813
So, God...
13
00:04:31,813 --> 00:04:33,148
I'm actually nervous.
14
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:43,074
Thank you. I don't care.
I'm here.
15
00:04:45,035 --> 00:04:49,414
Yes, so, um... Tonight I thought
I'd talk to you about everything
16
00:04:49,414 --> 00:04:54,211
that's ever happened.
Um, with some gaps.
17
00:04:54,211 --> 00:04:57,506
And... And that's because
you people,
you are the chosen people.
18
00:04:57,506 --> 00:05:01,134
Not chosen by God,
but self-choosing
chosen people.
19
00:05:03,512 --> 00:05:05,222
But I'm happy
if there's to be a God.
20
00:05:05,222 --> 00:05:06,932
If there is some
rhyme and reason
to what He's doing,
21
00:05:06,932 --> 00:05:10,310
I'm happy if He can come down
right now and explain himself.
22
00:05:11,937 --> 00:05:13,563
Never comes.
23
00:05:14,731 --> 00:05:18,151
He's never come to
any of my gigs.
24
00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:20,403
We send invites.
We put them up the chimney.
25
00:05:20,403 --> 00:05:22,072
Santa Claus came
one time.
26
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,325
I'm hoping that
if he did come,
27
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,369
he'd come there,
and I'll be looking like this.
He'd turn up there.
28
00:05:27,369 --> 00:05:28,537
And I'll be like, "Hey."
29
00:05:28,537 --> 00:05:31,081
That'd be to show
he has a sense of humor.
30
00:05:31,081 --> 00:05:32,832
But I can prove
there is no God.
31
00:05:32,832 --> 00:05:34,584
There's two little proofs
I have here.
32
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,379
One, that he doesn't
fucking come down, ever.
33
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:40,966
And two, if there was a God,
he would've flicked
Hitler's head off.
34
00:05:40,966 --> 00:05:43,552
- Don't you think?
35
00:05:43,552 --> 00:05:46,304
'Cause you know,
some people say, "Oh, God's
not supposed to intervene."
36
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:48,807
Well, fuck off then,
you know?
37
00:05:48,807 --> 00:05:51,476
A lot of people have gotten
to a lot of cold stone buildings
38
00:05:51,476 --> 00:05:53,687
and mumbled very
positive things towards Him.
39
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:56,481
He could at least have flicked
Hitler's head off,
don't you think?
40
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,068
Hitler left clues.
41
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:03,947
That book Mein Kampf,
which is German for,
"I'm gonna kill everyone."
42
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:07,492
And he was doing
those speeches.
43
00:06:07,492 --> 00:06:09,786
You know,
he doesn't look like he was
talking about happiness, was he?
44
00:06:09,786 --> 00:06:11,079
He was going,
"I'm gonna kill them.
45
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:12,998
"I'm gonna blow them up.
I'm gonna cut them up."
46
00:06:12,998 --> 00:06:15,750
And during
one of those speeches,
if God had just put his arm.
47
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:19,546
through the building,
in a Monty Python style.
And just gone...
48
00:06:22,132 --> 00:06:27,596
And all the Nazis would go,
"Hey!"
49
00:06:27,596 --> 00:06:30,140
"God, we got a leader
who can do that
with their head.
50
00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:33,393
"Yeah, Nazis.
Number one, Nazis.
51
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:35,895
"Number one, Nazis."
52
00:06:48,992 --> 00:06:50,327
"His head has come off."
53
00:07:04,215 --> 00:07:06,051
Let's join the Farmers' Party,
shall we?
54
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:09,471
No, we're just... we're just
going for a whiz. Thanks.
55
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:15,393
Which means pee.
I was an agnostic,
which is, you know,
56
00:07:15,393 --> 00:07:18,063
it was a good place to be,
in case He is there. And you go,
"No, I really did.
57
00:07:18,063 --> 00:07:19,856
"I was with you.
I was, you know."
58
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:23,360
I decided, I'm an atheist
or nontheist.
59
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,904
I just don't believe
in the floaty boat. And...
60
00:07:25,904 --> 00:07:28,323
Yeah. Apparently, there are
61
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:30,617
a billion people
who don't believe in God
in the world.
62
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,286
So, quite a big
sort of congregation.
63
00:07:33,286 --> 00:07:35,080
I don't know if that's
the right word, is it?
64
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,873
Quite a big group,
65
00:07:36,873 --> 00:07:39,084
if we could all get together,
and do nothing.
66
00:07:42,545 --> 00:07:43,755
What's He doing?
67
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:45,548
If there is a God,
He has more than one son.
68
00:07:45,548 --> 00:07:47,884
I'm pretty sure of that.
I think Jesus proves that.
69
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,053
Aesus, besus, cesus, desus,
eesus, fesus, Jesus.
70
00:07:51,346 --> 00:07:52,639
Just logic, yeah?
71
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:55,266
Hesus, iesus, Jesus,
kesus, lesus...
72
00:07:55,266 --> 00:07:57,519
Pesus, pesus, the deliveries.
Pesus.
73
00:07:59,354 --> 00:08:01,398
Jesus, always fucking around.
Fuck off, Jesus.
74
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:03,942
He's fucking tied
me bits together.
75
00:08:05,652 --> 00:08:10,323
Cesus was a Roman Emperor.
Oh, fuck.
Dictator, I should say.
76
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,535
And then Besus,
covered in bees.
77
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:20,750
So, yes, there's God.
God must be crazy.
78
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:21,835
I just...
Well,
79
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:23,211
The beginning
of the world, right?
80
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:26,005
Beginning of the world
is 4,500 million years ago.
81
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:28,091
If you're very religious,
it's 6,000 years ago.
82
00:08:28,091 --> 00:08:30,218
They're on
a totally different wicket.
83
00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:31,928
I just... I can't go
with the religious boys,
84
00:08:31,928 --> 00:08:33,722
'cause the science boys,
they've got glasses,
85
00:08:33,722 --> 00:08:35,724
they've got anoraks,
they've got petri dishes,
86
00:08:35,724 --> 00:08:37,684
they've got Bunsen burners
with two speeds.
87
00:08:39,853 --> 00:08:40,979
That one and that one.
88
00:08:45,483 --> 00:08:47,444
They're working at it.
They're looking
at magnetic fields.
89
00:08:47,444 --> 00:08:50,572
4,500 million years ago,
the world...
90
00:08:50,572 --> 00:08:52,407
Place your bets.
Place your bets.
Start spinning.
91
00:08:52,407 --> 00:08:55,493
We turn up
five million years ago.
92
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,954
Why the long pause?
93
00:08:57,954 --> 00:09:01,041
If a God created the Earth,
I wanted the seventh day
for prayer.
94
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:04,043
"Why the long pause?"
as the barman said to the bear.
95
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:10,425
And the bear replied,
"'Cause they've gotten stuck
in the lift door."
96
00:09:11,718 --> 00:09:14,679
It's an old joke
from the beginning of time.
97
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,391
So... Now, the dinosaurs,
98
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:20,560
I thought between us,
and the beginning of time,
99
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,313
that dinosaurs
ruled the Earth during this.
But, no.
100
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:27,233
Dinosaurs right up close to us,
165 million years.
So a long time.
101
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:33,531
We've been doing five,
they did 165.
And the dinosaurs are crap.
102
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:36,868
A hundred and sixty-five
million years
of these bastards,
103
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:39,454
they all got up in the morning,
and all of them,
without even saying...
104
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:41,664
even the flying ones,
they got up in the morning
and they just went...
105
00:09:47,212 --> 00:09:48,213
That's it.
106
00:09:49,339 --> 00:09:50,757
There's no other bit.
107
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:52,425
There's no... Later on,
they did some serious work.
108
00:09:54,135 --> 00:09:55,136
They're just big dogs.
109
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,099
And not friendly.
Not with the licky-face
friendly stuff.
110
00:10:00,141 --> 00:10:01,226
They're rubbish.
111
00:10:01,851 --> 00:10:03,686
Except the Raptors.
112
00:10:03,686 --> 00:10:06,105
I must admit, the Raptors,
they are, you know,
in the Spielberg film,
113
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,274
those Raptors, they got in,
they opened the door.
114
00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:12,570
They're quite clever.
They downloaded porn
from...
115
00:10:16,407 --> 00:10:19,327
Playing card games.
And I don't know what they do.
116
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:20,578
But they seem quite clever.
117
00:10:20,578 --> 00:10:22,580
And they look
at about our height, as well.
118
00:10:22,580 --> 00:10:24,749
You put a little pork pie hat,
little small...
119
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,837
little small
trilby type hat on a Raptor,
120
00:10:28,837 --> 00:10:31,214
and I think, you know,
it looks like one of us.
It could pass as one of us.
121
00:10:32,298 --> 00:10:34,008
"Is this your car, sir?"
122
00:10:34,008 --> 00:10:35,343
Yeah.
123
00:10:37,762 --> 00:10:40,181
"Do you realize
how fast you were going?"
124
00:10:40,181 --> 00:10:41,182
"Ooh. Oh."
125
00:10:43,768 --> 00:10:46,271
"Very busy."
126
00:10:47,981 --> 00:10:50,316
"I realize you're very busy,
but there's rules."
127
00:10:55,989 --> 00:10:57,532
"You were doing
53 miles an hour."
128
00:10:57,532 --> 00:10:58,533
"53?"
129
00:11:01,286 --> 00:11:02,328
"45."
130
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:07,417
"No, it was 53.
I've got a... finger."
131
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:17,302
"Now, laughing
at your own jokes, then."
132
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:26,019
-"Could you show me
your license?"
133
00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:27,562
"Fuck, it's a Raptor.
134
00:11:27,562 --> 00:11:31,399
"It's a Raptor.
Sarge, Sarge, sarge.
Where's sergeant?"
135
00:11:31,399 --> 00:11:32,984
There's always
extra police in here.
136
00:11:33,610 --> 00:11:34,944
"Sarge.
137
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:37,780
"Give me the bazooka."
138
00:11:41,868 --> 00:11:42,869
Poof!
139
00:11:44,329 --> 00:11:47,123
Shit. Thanks so much.
140
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:55,673
I never knew
how to end that scene. So I just
kill things with bazookas now.
141
00:11:57,216 --> 00:11:58,885
I got that from you.
142
00:12:04,098 --> 00:12:06,017
It's kind of an
American Foreign policy thing.
143
00:12:06,017 --> 00:12:08,102
"Hi. How are you?
Yeah, good to see you."
144
00:12:08,102 --> 00:12:09,562
"All right, bye."
145
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:13,775
"Why did you kill me?"
"I didn't know
what to say."
146
00:12:18,988 --> 00:12:20,365
What? What?
Yes, and then?
147
00:12:20,365 --> 00:12:21,991
So dinosaurs, dinosaurs...
148
00:12:21,991 --> 00:12:23,076
crapola.
149
00:12:23,076 --> 00:12:24,369
Uh, and they didn't pray.
150
00:12:24,369 --> 00:12:26,955
No dinosaur churches,
we're pretty damn sure.
151
00:12:26,955 --> 00:12:30,208
We've talked to a lot of people
who dig things out of ground.
152
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:33,336
And they said no dinosaur...
Very few dinosaur vicars,
or priests going...
153
00:12:36,047 --> 00:12:37,131
Thank you very much.
154
00:12:57,944 --> 00:12:59,821
A few used to do that.
When you had to
go to church,
155
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:02,490
You go in. And then some people
go down and do...
Praying on their own.
156
00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:05,243
"What are you doing?
He hasn't started yet.
157
00:13:05,243 --> 00:13:06,494
Getting some in early?"
158
00:13:07,829 --> 00:13:09,872
"Oh, you wanna go to heaven,
don't you?"
159
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:14,502
I don't think
I'm going to heaven,
by the way, guys.
160
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,130
Anyway, so...
161
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:18,589
And then dinosaurs...
162
00:13:18,589 --> 00:13:21,384
"Welcome to today's...
163
00:13:21,384 --> 00:13:25,513
"Now sing hymn 409,
All Things Bright
and Beautiful."
164
00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:37,358

167
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:54,125
Who would make that?
168
00:13:54,125 --> 00:13:58,087
What God would create monsters
for 165 million years,
169
00:13:59,130 --> 00:14:00,214
that just go...
170
00:14:01,591 --> 00:14:04,761
A God on crack cocaine,
ladies and gentlemen.
171
00:14:06,637 --> 00:14:10,308
"Jesus. Besus, Desus,
Ensus, look.
Look at these crazy ones."
172
00:14:12,393 --> 00:14:16,689
"Dad, they're monsters."
"I thought I'd start off
with monsters."
173
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:19,484
"You've done nothing
for four billion years
and they're monsters."
174
00:14:21,319 --> 00:14:22,612
"You gotta try this stuff."
175
00:14:25,364 --> 00:14:26,365
"It's called crack."
176
00:14:28,493 --> 00:14:32,080
"Obviously, after 165 billion
years, one said, "Come on now."
177
00:14:33,915 --> 00:14:35,333
-"Missed."
178
00:14:37,126 --> 00:14:38,544
"Oh, that'll work."
179
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,009
"Who did that
with my dinosaurs?"
"It wasn't me."
180
00:14:45,009 --> 00:14:46,177
"Besus, Ensus."
181
00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:48,137
"I didn't fucking do anything."
182
00:14:48,137 --> 00:14:52,475
"Ensus, Elsus, Kasus,
get Zedsus over here."
183
00:14:52,475 --> 00:14:54,894
"Uncle Jesus."
"Oh, you're fucking
in England now."
184
00:14:57,063 --> 00:15:00,733
The E-ZPass... The E-ZPass.
I... we say zed.
185
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:03,569
So the E-ZedPass,
'cause I kept going
through the tunnel and...
186
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:04,862
The E-ZedPass...
187
00:15:04,862 --> 00:15:07,740
Why the fuck is it called
the E-ZedPass?
188
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,951
Could not get that
for a few years.
189
00:15:12,411 --> 00:15:14,622
E-ZedPass. The E-ZedPass.
190
00:15:14,622 --> 00:15:18,167
The E-ZedPass.
The E-ZedPass. The E-ZedPass.
191
00:15:19,836 --> 00:15:20,837
E-ZedPass.
192
00:15:22,421 --> 00:15:24,382
A bloke called E-Zed built it.
I don't know.
193
00:15:27,510 --> 00:15:29,637
That must have been
the, the, the, the...
194
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:32,056
What are they called?
The... Who're the guys
in the boat?
195
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,977
Who...
The pilgrims.
196
00:15:35,977 --> 00:15:37,436
- What?
The pilgrims.
197
00:15:38,104 --> 00:15:39,772
Who?
198
00:15:39,772 --> 00:15:42,066
No, the guys who came over
in the Plymouth Rock?
199
00:15:42,066 --> 00:15:44,485
The Pilgrims.
- Pilgrims. Pilgrims. Thanks.
200
00:15:45,611 --> 00:15:47,238
This is scripted.
This is scripted.
201
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:49,991
All these people
telling me stuff
I planned for that to happen.
202
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,119
I can't remember
what I was gonna say now.
203
00:15:53,119 --> 00:15:55,955
Now when they came...
Obviously the Pilgrims,
they gone on a boat
204
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,832
and they said,
"All right. Fuck Zed, okay?
205
00:15:57,832 --> 00:16:00,877
"We're not gonna say
Zed anymore. We're gonna
say Zee, all right?
206
00:16:00,877 --> 00:16:03,421
"Then we can do
the whole E-ZPass.
It'll make, all right?"
207
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:07,842
"Come on, we're gonna
talk like this now. Yeah."
208
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:12,346
Whoo. Yeah.
209
00:16:14,724 --> 00:16:20,396
"We're gonna pray in such an
extreme way, that maybe we'll
set fire to witches. Yeah.
210
00:16:20,396 --> 00:16:22,440
"Salem, that sounds good.
Let's head up there."
211
00:16:25,026 --> 00:16:27,069
When Salem happened,
we weren't doing anything.
212
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,489
We were being really nice.
213
00:16:32,408 --> 00:16:33,659
So dinosaurs,
214
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:35,870
bye-bye.
We turn up
five million years ago.
215
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:38,664
And it gets interesting
around the Stone Age.
216
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:41,459
Before the Stone Age,
I'm not sure how we hunted.
217
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:43,794
'Cause we didn't have stones
to hit things with.
218
00:16:43,794 --> 00:16:46,839
So it must have just been...
219
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:48,341
You know...
220
00:16:48,341 --> 00:16:51,260
And sometimes, "An ox.
There's an ox
stuck in the mud.
221
00:16:51,260 --> 00:16:54,055
"We could kill it and eat.
Guys, I'm starving.
222
00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:55,640
"Help me.
Where is everyone?"
223
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,393
"Fuck it.
Oh, help my hand.
224
00:16:59,393 --> 00:17:02,063
"Ah! For fuck's sake."
225
00:17:03,314 --> 00:17:05,024
"Stupid stone."
226
00:17:25,253 --> 00:17:26,462
Ah!
227
00:17:30,258 --> 00:17:31,592
"That'll work. That'll work.
228
00:17:33,594 --> 00:17:37,974
"Hi. You're stuck in the mud?"
God, it's March...
229
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,434
"It's the rainy season.
It's April, rainy?
I don't know.
230
00:17:40,434 --> 00:17:42,186
"We haven't got
words for it yet."
231
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,108
-"Is that a badger?"
232
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:49,485
"Yes!"
233
00:17:49,485 --> 00:17:50,820
"Guys, guys."
234
00:17:50,820 --> 00:17:52,238
"What is it, Steve?
What is it?"
235
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:54,115
"I've invented something."
"What?"
236
00:17:54,115 --> 00:17:56,826
"Ow!
237
00:17:56,826 --> 00:18:02,873
"That's genius."
"I thought we should
call it something."
238
00:18:02,873 --> 00:18:05,960
"Actually, this could be
the beginning of an age.
Do you realize that?"
239
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,588
"Well, that's what I thought."
"We'll call it the age of
big things that fall over
240
00:18:09,588 --> 00:18:13,426
"when hit by small, dense things
that are a much denser
on the periodic table."
241
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:19,098
"Stone Age."
"Stone Age, yeah.
That's more pithy."
242
00:18:21,183 --> 00:18:23,936
So the Stone Age began,
probably on a Tuesday,
243
00:18:23,936 --> 00:18:26,564
at about half 3:00.
244
00:18:26,564 --> 00:18:28,607
The stones were used as
hitting tools, cutting tools.
245
00:18:28,607 --> 00:18:31,402
You could cut the skin
off an animal
that no longer needed it.
246
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,613
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
247
00:18:34,613 --> 00:18:35,906
"Steady."
"Not a problem."
248
00:18:38,993 --> 00:18:39,994
"Thank you so much."
249
00:18:43,122 --> 00:18:44,373
"I will wear it with pride."
250
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,462
"People of these caves..."
251
00:18:52,465 --> 00:18:56,010
"People...
People of the caves,
252
00:18:56,010 --> 00:19:00,848
"where I live by the hill
with the thing...
253
00:19:00,848 --> 00:19:03,184
"And now
I wear... [GROANS]"
254
00:19:03,184 --> 00:19:05,227
"Steve, you're gonna hang it up
till it dries.
255
00:19:06,979 --> 00:19:09,482
"Otherwise you're just
gonna be Lord of the Flies."
256
00:19:11,859 --> 00:19:13,486
"Shut up, Piggy."
257
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:19,241
"Oh, oh, now everyone thinks
you're very literate, now.
258
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:22,620
"Since you read the book
that you got for Christmas."
259
00:19:25,831 --> 00:19:27,416
"Shut the fuck up."
260
00:19:29,043 --> 00:19:33,381
"I'm doing a show
at Madison hexagonal arborie."
261
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,635
So, the Stone Age began.
262
00:19:37,635 --> 00:19:40,054
Now, stone napping is the art
of getting a stone,
263
00:19:40,054 --> 00:19:42,431
looking for the folds
in the stone,
and you chip away.
264
00:19:42,431 --> 00:19:44,600
It's not just a
haphazard chipping thing.
265
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,311
You chip away with the natural
faults in the stone,
266
00:19:47,311 --> 00:19:50,147
and then you make arrowheads
and axe heads
and stuff like that.
267
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:51,816
And they believe
that stone napping,
268
00:19:51,816 --> 00:19:54,902
the art of it, was passed on
with the use of language.
269
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:56,654
They think,
that language was developed
270
00:19:56,654 --> 00:19:58,781
to pass this on,
about 100,000 years ago.
271
00:19:58,781 --> 00:20:02,493
Now, before language,
I don't see how
you can have religion.
272
00:20:02,493 --> 00:20:05,037
I think we've been searching
for God ever since then.
273
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:07,581
But before that,
you can't have a God
or religion.
274
00:20:07,581 --> 00:20:10,793
I think, this is my analysis
here, because how
can you articulate
275
00:20:10,793 --> 00:20:14,004
a vengeful God,
a merciful God
with no words?
276
00:20:14,004 --> 00:20:15,714
How can you go...
277
00:20:23,389 --> 00:20:26,392
And I have learned
all this stuff
through Wikipedia.
278
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:27,935
- Yes.
279
00:20:27,935 --> 00:20:30,354
Now people frown and moan
a bit about Wikipedia.
280
00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:33,274
Oh, the information can be
tampered with.
But, before Wikipedia,
281
00:20:33,274 --> 00:20:36,444
we just had conversations
that went like,
"How do you make jam?
282
00:20:36,444 --> 00:20:40,239
"Steve, Freddie, Sally,
Mr. Mingi,
283
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:44,994
"Lady Bad Crumble,
Kenny? Rogers?"
Two people.
284
00:20:46,871 --> 00:20:49,331
And if they didn't know,
if you all your friends
didn't know, that was it.
285
00:20:49,331 --> 00:20:50,666
You wouldn't know about jam.
286
00:20:50,666 --> 00:20:52,710
You wouldn't join a library
and get the books.
287
00:20:52,710 --> 00:20:53,961
You'd just forget it.
288
00:20:53,961 --> 00:20:56,964
But now you can look up
on Wikipedia.
289
00:20:56,964 --> 00:20:59,550
Jam, Wikipedia goes,
"Jam was invented in 1497,
290
00:20:59,550 --> 00:21:03,596
"by Mr. and Mrs. Jam."
And after about five lines,
291
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:05,806
you get bored out of your mind,
have you noticed?
292
00:21:05,806 --> 00:21:08,225
And then, there's something
written in blue,
and it's underlined,
293
00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:12,521
and you click, and then goes,
helicopters. "Helicopters
was invented in 1783
294
00:21:12,521 --> 00:21:17,026
"by Mr. and Mrs. Helicopter,
often used to transport
jam around..."
295
00:21:17,026 --> 00:21:18,986
Helicopters... spoon!
296
00:21:18,986 --> 00:21:21,530
"Spoon is often...
Make helicopters
out of spoons,
297
00:21:21,530 --> 00:21:24,033
"if you're really clever."
298
00:21:24,033 --> 00:21:25,910
And sometimes,
you click on a blue thing,
299
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:29,538
and it says, "There is no page
for this thing."
And we go,
300
00:21:29,538 --> 00:21:31,457
"Why did you put it in blue?"
301
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:35,419
"Don't put it in blue
if you haven't got a page."
302
00:21:35,419 --> 00:21:37,796
Because we have trained...
Self-trained, we are.
303
00:21:37,796 --> 00:21:39,632
Like... like Pavlov's dog.
304
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,885
Remember? Pavlov would
ring a bell, and the dog would
make a pavlova.
305
00:21:48,808 --> 00:21:49,892
Tick, tick, tick, ding.
306
00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:55,940
Pavlov'd go,"That's a big crap."
And the dog'd go,
"I've got no thumbs."
307
00:21:58,150 --> 00:22:00,444
But we learn about this stuff
all on our computers.
308
00:22:00,444 --> 00:22:02,863
I have an
Apple Macintosh computer,
you may have a PC,
309
00:22:02,863 --> 00:22:04,698
it doesn't really matter.
310
00:22:04,698 --> 00:22:05,991
It does, really.
311
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:10,371
Is that the future wars?
There's gonna be people
coming up,
312
00:22:10,371 --> 00:22:12,581
hitting each other
with computers.
313
00:22:12,581 --> 00:22:14,750
But Apple Macintosh, you know,
it's very smooth and sexy.
314
00:22:14,750 --> 00:22:17,711
You can touch it,
and have sex with people,
and they're fine.
315
00:22:17,711 --> 00:22:19,713
And you're
tip-tapping away these days,
316
00:22:19,713 --> 00:22:21,799
and the thing come says,
"Would you like
a software update?"
317
00:22:21,799 --> 00:22:25,135
And you go, "Yeah,
I don't see why not."
318
00:22:25,135 --> 00:22:27,721
It's like a latte thing.
319
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:32,726
It says, "You just carry on
working, and we'll update it
while you're doing it." Okay.
320
00:22:32,726 --> 00:22:36,021
"Would you like to know details
of the software update?"
You go, "No."
321
00:22:37,106 --> 00:22:38,774
Well, sometimes you go,
"Yeah."
322
00:22:38,774 --> 00:22:40,901
And it goes
and you go, "I don't know
what that means."
323
00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:42,653
There's... just...
324
00:22:42,653 --> 00:22:44,530
Updating security.
"Oh, that's pretty good."
325
00:22:45,864 --> 00:22:47,741
Spoon-bending monkey chaps
and they go...
326
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:53,581
"Oh, okay, we'll take them all."
And then it puts up
the blue line.
327
00:22:53,581 --> 00:22:56,625
The blue line of time
appears on our screens,
328
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:58,586
And the blue line
controls our lives.
329
00:22:58,586 --> 00:23:02,923
It has... It has controlled time
in a way that Einstein
never believed possible.
330
00:23:02,923 --> 00:23:05,884
For we are sitting there,
tapping away, and it says
"8 minutes to download."
331
00:23:05,884 --> 00:23:09,597
"7 minutes to download.
6 minutes to download,
8 minutes to download."
332
00:23:11,015 --> 00:23:12,766
"2 minutes to download."
333
00:23:12,766 --> 00:23:16,395
"9 hours to download."
"6 seconds to download."
334
00:23:16,395 --> 00:23:21,442
"8 minutes to download."
Einstein would have gone,
"What the..."
335
00:23:21,442 --> 00:23:25,446
"E... E does not equal
MC squared.
336
00:23:25,446 --> 00:23:31,410
"E equals PN
to the 5 times 10
to the monkey 9."
337
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,788
And then it says,
"Okay, download."
All the numbers count out,
338
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:37,458
and then it does that
stripey one and it goes,
"Oh, thinking about it,
339
00:23:37,458 --> 00:23:40,711
"thinking about it. Oh,
I don't know. Shall we
give him the update?
340
00:23:40,711 --> 00:23:42,880
"I don't know.
I think about it."
341
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:48,010
Someone's putting things
in drawers and shit. And before
you're gonna get the update,
342
00:23:48,010 --> 00:23:52,806
it says,"Sign a new
agreement with iTunes."
343
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:56,268
And I don't know about you,
but I have signed
many agreements with iTunes.
344
00:23:58,062 --> 00:23:59,938
I don't know
what they want from us anymore.
345
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:03,233
Don't they realize
we agree with them?
346
00:24:05,235 --> 00:24:07,279
They must be paranoid
at iTunes going,
347
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:11,283
"We must ask them again,
one more time,
348
00:24:11,283 --> 00:24:13,410
"if they really, truly..."
349
00:24:13,410 --> 00:24:16,038
"we've asked them 38 times."
"No, one more."
350
00:24:17,665 --> 00:24:19,833
"I'm just not sure
if they agree with us."
351
00:24:21,835 --> 00:24:23,962
And, they have
made us liars.
352
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:25,506
We cannot tell
the truth anymore.
353
00:24:25,506 --> 00:24:27,091
You cannot reprimand
your children.
354
00:24:27,091 --> 00:24:29,843
"No, Johnny, you said you said
you didn't have a biscuit,
355
00:24:29,843 --> 00:24:33,222
"but there's crumbs on your face
and you did have a biscuit.
You have lied."
356
00:24:33,222 --> 00:24:36,975
"But you said you had read
the terms and conditions,
357
00:24:39,895 --> 00:24:42,064
"when you ticked that box."
358
00:24:43,649 --> 00:24:46,443
"It was too quick for you
to read
the terms and conditions.
359
00:24:46,443 --> 00:24:49,405
"You read it
in a blink of an eye."
360
00:24:49,405 --> 00:24:54,326
The truth is, no one in this
room has read
the terms and conditions.
361
00:24:55,744 --> 00:24:57,830
No one in New York
has read
the terms and conditions.
362
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:02,167
No one in the universe...
363
00:25:02,167 --> 00:25:06,088
Even God has not read
the terms and conditions.
364
00:25:06,088 --> 00:25:08,048
That's probably the big gap
between the beginning
of the Earth
365
00:25:08,048 --> 00:25:13,011
and when we fucking turned up,
he was reading
the terms and conditions
366
00:25:13,011 --> 00:25:16,640
of the thing he'd just made.
'Cause anything could be
on the terms and conditions.
367
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,475
Anything could be on there.
368
00:25:18,475 --> 00:25:21,770
"We'll take your buttocks
and sell them to the Chinese."
"Fine, fine."
369
00:25:21,770 --> 00:25:24,732
"We're going to re-arrange
your toes and number them."
"Yes, yes."
370
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:27,109
"I'm going to put your
underpants in hedges,
around the world."
371
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:29,903
"Yes, fine."
'Cause you get to that point,
you want the update.
372
00:25:29,903 --> 00:25:32,698
You didn't know what it was,
but now you fucking want it.
373
00:25:32,698 --> 00:25:34,783
"Give me the fucking update."
374
00:25:34,783 --> 00:25:36,827
And then,
you get the update.
375
00:25:36,827 --> 00:25:38,829
And, nothing has changed
376
00:25:45,753 --> 00:25:47,504
If you have a PC, I think
it's a very similar thing.
377
00:25:47,504 --> 00:25:49,298
You open the computer,
you switch on the computer,
378
00:25:49,298 --> 00:25:52,176
you put the handle in,
and you turn the handle...
379
00:25:55,679 --> 00:25:57,806
Then, in a loud voice,
in a clear voice,
380
00:25:57,806 --> 00:26:01,727
you have to say, "Chucks away."
And they pull away wooden wedges
from your computer.
381
00:26:02,811 --> 00:26:04,605
And it begins to rumble.
382
00:26:04,605 --> 00:26:07,357
And a man walks ahead of you,
with a red flag.
383
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:10,319
Then you put on
the 78 record,
384
00:26:10,319 --> 00:26:14,072
and, on the needle.
And an opera singer
tells you about the updates.
385
00:26:22,664 --> 00:26:24,333
I've worked up...
By the way,
anyone could do opera.
386
00:26:24,333 --> 00:26:28,295
Just get a huge PA system,
an aircraft hangar
and a microphone.
387
00:26:28,295 --> 00:26:31,006
Anyway, we were
hunter-gatherers and...
and we were killers.
388
00:26:31,006 --> 00:26:33,050
We were killers.
And I think we have decided,
389
00:26:33,050 --> 00:26:37,805
without the power of a God
telling us, just naturally,
you know, just decided,
390
00:26:37,805 --> 00:26:40,808
that killing is
not necessarily good.
'Cause people in the old days,
391
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:44,603
like assassins,
very interestingly,
they used to take hashish,
392
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,314
to alter their mind state,
to go off and do killings.
393
00:26:47,314 --> 00:26:49,441
And that's where the word
assassin comes from.
394
00:26:49,441 --> 00:26:52,778
They took hashish and they were
initially called "hashashins."
395
00:26:55,197 --> 00:26:57,533
This is true.
This is in Wikipedia,
so do check it out.
396
00:26:58,700 --> 00:27:00,244
It's even on The West Wing.
397
00:27:00,244 --> 00:27:04,414
If you watch that.
I saw an episode. It is.
It's true. Yeah.
398
00:27:04,414 --> 00:27:08,877
But there was. So, obviously
someone was going,
"Help yourself to hashish.
399
00:27:08,877 --> 00:27:11,213
"And then we'll go,
and do hashashinations."
400
00:27:12,756 --> 00:27:14,299
What?
401
00:27:14,299 --> 00:27:15,884
Are you sure?
402
00:27:15,884 --> 00:27:18,971
'Cause for my money,
you know,
it's the wrong drug to take
403
00:27:18,971 --> 00:27:20,389
before you go
and do anything.
404
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:24,226
It's the right drug to do
when you're gonna do nothing.
405
00:27:24,226 --> 00:27:27,354
Surely, more cokey,
speedy type of drugs
rather than...
406
00:27:27,354 --> 00:27:31,441
And then someone saying,
"We're gonna knock off
a Mars bar factory, right now.
407
00:27:33,735 --> 00:27:36,697
"I am in position."
408
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:43,412
"Oh, what?
I'm here, I'm here.
Yeah."
409
00:27:43,412 --> 00:27:46,748
"I've got a briefcase.
I'm on the roof.
410
00:27:46,748 --> 00:27:48,750
"I just hope
it's the right roof."
411
00:27:50,168 --> 00:27:51,295
"This is a lot of roofs."
412
00:27:53,422 --> 00:27:55,465
"Hang on, hang on.
I'm putting it together."
413
00:28:15,819 --> 00:28:20,991
"What the fuck is this bit?
See, I have five puppies.
Doing the thing...
414
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,077
"Glue wing to the fuselage...
415
00:28:25,495 --> 00:28:27,539
"High transpose...
416
00:28:27,539 --> 00:28:29,750
"Spitfire mark...
What the fuck...
417
00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:32,127
"This is Airfix.
418
00:28:32,127 --> 00:28:33,921
"Hang on.
I've got the wrong
instructions.
419
00:28:35,380 --> 00:28:36,673
"I'm going to test it."
420
00:28:40,135 --> 00:28:42,179
"All right.
I got some good news
and bad news.
421
00:28:42,930 --> 00:28:45,515
"Good news is, it works.
422
00:28:45,515 --> 00:28:51,188
"Bad news, it's not a gun.
It's a vacuum cleaner.
423
00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:55,317
"Shall I throw it at him?"
424
00:28:55,317 --> 00:28:59,279
"No, it's not very accurate.
But it's got a fantastic
element of surprise."
425
00:29:02,532 --> 00:29:05,661
Then there's the...
The nature of killing of war.
426
00:29:05,661 --> 00:29:09,206
Nowadays, we have films and
television. We can get,
maybe not a visceral sense
427
00:29:09,206 --> 00:29:12,209
of what war is like,
but we get an emotional sense.
428
00:29:12,209 --> 00:29:15,253
Back in the old days,
we had a famous battle
in England,
429
00:29:15,253 --> 00:29:16,713
called The Battle of Hastings.
430
00:29:16,713 --> 00:29:19,299
1066, a thousand years ago,
almost, exactly.
431
00:29:19,299 --> 00:29:21,885
And you were either
at that battle, or forget it.
432
00:29:21,885 --> 00:29:23,971
You hadn't got a clue
what was going on.
433
00:29:23,971 --> 00:29:28,141
You had to look at a tapestry
to find out
what went on there.
434
00:29:28,141 --> 00:29:32,813
The Bayeux Tapestry, they made.
Weavers were
photojournalists of the day.
435
00:29:32,813 --> 00:29:36,775
They were... They were obviously
at the frontline going,
"Come on."
436
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,908
"Don't look at the weavers.
Don't look at the weavers.
Just keep moving."
437
00:29:46,076 --> 00:29:47,619
"Weave, motherfucker."
438
00:29:49,830 --> 00:29:53,417
"More red thread,
bring up red thread.
It's a battle, for God's sake."
439
00:29:55,335 --> 00:29:57,379
"Just, can you slow down a bit?
440
00:29:58,338 --> 00:30:00,424
"You're all going too fast."
441
00:30:00,424 --> 00:30:03,301
"Shoot someone in the eye.
We've already done that panel,
would you?
442
00:30:04,094 --> 00:30:05,345
"William, give a big wave.
443
00:30:05,345 --> 00:30:06,555
"Give him a good haircut.
444
00:30:06,555 --> 00:30:08,515
"These haircuts are
fucking weird."
445
00:30:10,642 --> 00:30:13,311
Around the time of Henry VIII,
one of our more famous kings.
446
00:30:13,311 --> 00:30:16,481
The six wives of Henry VIII,
he kept going through them,
447
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:18,900
like a strange... marrying man.
448
00:30:20,485 --> 00:30:22,029
First one was
Catherine of Aragon.
449
00:30:22,029 --> 00:30:23,947
Second one was Anne Boleyn.
450
00:30:23,947 --> 00:30:25,866
By the time of Anne Boleyn,
they were paparazzi.
Weavers were paparazzi.
451
00:30:25,866 --> 00:30:27,826
All right, Anne? How you doing?
452
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:30,954
Are you going to marry Henry?
453
00:30:30,954 --> 00:30:34,374
Just push
your breasts up a little.
454
00:30:34,374 --> 00:30:36,293
What about your sister,
is she gonna marry?
455
00:30:36,293 --> 00:30:37,294
Ooh, that would be bigamy.
456
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:39,004
You converted?
457
00:30:40,088 --> 00:30:41,673
Hang on, I'm sewing
this to my leg.
458
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:43,467
Hang on.
Keep your hair on.
459
00:30:44,217 --> 00:30:45,218
Keep your head on.
460
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,098
I've sewn this
to my leg again.
461
00:30:50,098 --> 00:30:51,099
Is that a problem?
462
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:53,810
We were hunters.
We were gatherers.
463
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,313
I would have been a hunter,
not a gatherer.
464
00:30:56,313 --> 00:30:58,690
Because gathering seems
incredibly boring.
465
00:30:58,690 --> 00:31:02,736
Gathering is
essentially going
12, 13, 12,
466
00:31:04,029 --> 00:31:08,909
13, 12, 11, 12...
467
00:31:08,909 --> 00:31:11,453
"Fuck it! I'm not
getting anywhere.
How many you got?"
468
00:31:11,453 --> 00:31:13,413
"I've got three."
469
00:31:13,413 --> 00:31:16,374
"The warriors are
going to kill us,
when they get back."
470
00:31:16,374 --> 00:31:19,377
They return, we have killed
buffalo and bison
and beavers and badgers
471
00:31:19,377 --> 00:31:21,963
and balloons and bees,
which is very difficult.
472
00:31:23,381 --> 00:31:24,841
"How many berries
do you have?"
473
00:31:24,841 --> 00:31:26,218
"A total of seven."
474
00:31:27,761 --> 00:31:29,554
"That's a bit shit.
475
00:31:29,554 --> 00:31:31,014
"We've been away
for two moons.
476
00:31:31,014 --> 00:31:34,518
"That's almost three years
or something.
477
00:31:34,518 --> 00:31:37,562
"Nevermind.
Make us a smoothie,
and we shall share."
478
00:31:37,562 --> 00:31:40,232
That's what we lived on,
raw meat and smoothies.
479
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:44,611
But then the ice left.
The ice fucked off.
480
00:31:44,611 --> 00:31:46,613
And said, "Good luck.
Invent fridges."
481
00:31:49,741 --> 00:31:53,245
So the ice went and then
we became farmers.
482
00:31:53,245 --> 00:31:55,372
And farmers is a step up
in civilization
483
00:31:55,372 --> 00:31:58,375
and a massive step down
in sexiness.
484
00:31:58,375 --> 00:31:59,793
It really isn't sexy,
you know?
485
00:31:59,793 --> 00:32:02,420
There's no farming films.
That's how you can tell.
486
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:04,965
There's no Bruce Willis
in Farm Hard.
487
00:32:07,050 --> 00:32:09,427
Farm Hard 3.
This time it's arable.
488
00:32:11,513 --> 00:32:14,516
They've taken over
the Nakatani farm, man.
489
00:32:14,516 --> 00:32:16,059
Bruce McClane,
he's on the roof.
490
00:32:16,059 --> 00:32:18,562
He's got all the manure.
491
00:32:18,562 --> 00:32:21,898
They've got no methane
to do any of
the bang thing.
492
00:32:23,567 --> 00:32:24,818
It wouldn't work, you see.
493
00:32:25,902 --> 00:32:27,279
And farmers, they grow crops.
494
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:28,822
We eat the crops.
We need farmers.
495
00:32:28,822 --> 00:32:31,032
They do this wonderful job,
496
00:32:31,032 --> 00:32:32,576
but it's not exciting.
497
00:32:32,576 --> 00:32:34,369
So that's why
they keep animals.
498
00:32:34,369 --> 00:32:36,538
I'm pretty sure that farmers
keep animals to make it
more exciting.
499
00:32:36,538 --> 00:32:38,957
More rock and roll.
'Cause they keep the noisy ones.
500
00:32:38,957 --> 00:32:41,543
Have you noticed?
Old McDonald's farm,
full of noisy animals.
501
00:32:42,377 --> 00:32:43,587
They don't keep otters.
502
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:44,754
They don't keep beavers.
503
00:32:44,754 --> 00:32:45,922
They don't keep weasels.
504
00:32:45,922 --> 00:32:47,549
They don't keep rabbits.
505
00:32:47,549 --> 00:32:48,842
None of the quiet ones.
506
00:32:48,842 --> 00:32:51,011
The quiet ones are like,
fuck off, quiet ones.
507
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:52,512
They want big, barky noise ones.
508
00:32:52,512 --> 00:32:54,181
Cows go moo,
and sheep go baa,
509
00:32:54,181 --> 00:32:56,558
and dogs go woof,
and cats go pink, and...
510
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:00,812
chickens go,
cock a doodle doo,
511
00:33:00,812 --> 00:33:02,314
which is stupid.
512
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:05,066
It's just such an odd noise.
513
00:33:05,066 --> 00:33:07,485
It's supposed to wake you
in the morning.
But they do it all day.
514
00:33:07,485 --> 00:33:09,779
I've been near farms.
I've been quite near farms.
515
00:33:09,779 --> 00:33:14,201
If I was a farmer, I'd go nuts.
I'd just put a trumpet
on their face.
516
00:33:14,201 --> 00:33:15,952
And then they'd go...
517
00:33:25,921 --> 00:33:27,714
And farmer's wife'd go,
"What is that?"
518
00:33:27,714 --> 00:33:29,507
"It's jazz chicken."
519
00:33:33,428 --> 00:33:35,180
"The fuck is a jazz chicken?"
520
00:33:36,348 --> 00:33:38,350
"A trumpet fell on its face."
521
00:33:39,267 --> 00:33:40,560
"Fell off a shelf?"
522
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,562
"No. Well, I wedged
it on his face.
523
00:33:42,562 --> 00:33:44,981
"He was going
"cock-a-doodle-do"
all the time!
524
00:33:44,981 --> 00:33:46,566
"I wanted to get some music."
525
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:49,361
"But he's got no lips.
How does he make an embouchure?"
526
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:52,781
"I sewed bacon rind
onto his beak."
527
00:33:55,575 --> 00:33:58,286
"That is insane.
528
00:33:58,286 --> 00:34:01,164
"But that should be
on Discovery Channel,
529
00:34:01,164 --> 00:34:05,126
"because then every morning
you'll be woken up by...
530
00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:11,675
"And then donkeys
would get their
tails go...
531
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:19,724
"And passing frogs
maybe, might
stand on their tongues
532
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:24,521
"Maybe and go..."
533
00:34:24,521 --> 00:34:28,191
Don't know quite how frogs
get into a farm situation,
534
00:34:28,191 --> 00:34:30,819
but I was looking for
long-tongued animals.
535
00:34:30,819 --> 00:34:32,570
Maybe that's what happened
to Baby Jee.
536
00:34:32,570 --> 00:34:35,782
He was born in the manger
and...
537
00:34:39,494 --> 00:34:41,955
Three wise men came,
"Oh, it's a jazz club, that is."
538
00:34:45,500 --> 00:34:47,794
Now Noah,
he knew about animals.
539
00:34:47,794 --> 00:34:49,796
Noah built an ark,
and there was a flood.
540
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:51,840
They say that God told him
to build an ark.
541
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,092
But I don't know. I think
a number of us in this room,
542
00:34:54,092 --> 00:34:56,678
if it was raining
and there's a huge flood
about to happen,
543
00:34:56,678 --> 00:35:00,181
I think a number of us
would've said, "Fuck it,
I'm building a boat."
544
00:35:00,181 --> 00:35:02,309
Yeah, man.
He built a boat and no,
545
00:35:02,309 --> 00:35:04,936
it wasn't an ark, it was a boat.
An ark it, always looks silly,
546
00:35:04,936 --> 00:35:06,313
'cause it's a big U shape
547
00:35:06,313 --> 00:35:08,189
with a little shed on the top,
548
00:35:08,189 --> 00:35:11,276
and out of that,
there's a lion and tiger
doing this.
549
00:35:14,154 --> 00:35:16,781
And uh,
obviously you never see
550
00:35:16,781 --> 00:35:19,326
any of the compartments,
or anything that went on,
551
00:35:19,326 --> 00:35:20,618
or where the toilets were.
552
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:24,539
So he made a boat.
He made a boat
553
00:35:24,539 --> 00:35:27,083
What did he put in the boat?
His family. What else?
554
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:29,669
All the animals
he could find.
555
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:32,088
Did he put two of every animal
in the world on the boat?
556
00:35:32,547 --> 00:35:33,548
No.
557
00:35:34,299 --> 00:35:35,508
How can I be so sure?
558
00:35:36,051 --> 00:35:37,302
Try it.
559
00:35:39,429 --> 00:35:41,389
I'm happy to be proved wrong
on this.
560
00:35:41,389 --> 00:35:43,391
I just need
Discovery Channel to say,
561
00:35:43,391 --> 00:35:49,230
"And today we're gonna do
two of everything on this boat.
Let's have a look."
562
00:35:49,230 --> 00:35:51,608
And then let's
visit the toilets later.
563
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:54,319
It'll have been a nightmare.
Everything had to be on the boat
564
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:56,446
from two dung beetles
to two giant squid
565
00:35:56,446 --> 00:35:58,490
and everything in between.
All the fish,
566
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:00,909
they never get mentioned.
It was supposed to kill two,
567
00:36:00,909 --> 00:36:03,286
kill all the bad things
and start again with
two of everything,
568
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:05,497
including the fish.
569
00:36:05,497 --> 00:36:09,209
I mean, bad sharks--
sharks are bad.
Very few good sharks.
570
00:36:09,209 --> 00:36:11,586
Very few sharks going,
"We found a child!"
571
00:36:16,883 --> 00:36:20,011
"He was thrashing around
in that area.
572
00:36:20,011 --> 00:36:21,471
"Danger zone, you see.
573
00:36:21,471 --> 00:36:23,890
"Thought we'd bring
him in, yes.
574
00:36:23,890 --> 00:36:25,475
"Well, it's a new thing
we're doing.
575
00:36:25,475 --> 00:36:26,768
"We're trying to...
576
00:36:26,768 --> 00:36:29,938
"And public relations, yes.
577
00:36:29,938 --> 00:36:32,524
"I'm Sharky
the friendly shark."
578
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:33,900
♪ Sharky
The friendly shark ♪
579
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,528

anywhere?
580
00:36:36,528 --> 00:36:39,697
"No, he only had one leg
to begin with,
so I don't know where that is."
581
00:36:43,827 --> 00:36:45,328
That ark would be
a nightmare.
582
00:36:45,328 --> 00:36:46,913
Two of everything on the boat.
583
00:36:46,913 --> 00:36:49,499
Giant squid sticking
out of cupboards, going,
"Is she there?
584
00:36:50,792 --> 00:36:52,210
"Is Mrs. Noah there?
585
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:53,795
"There's no towels."
586
00:36:55,672 --> 00:37:00,844
"Can't find any towels,

It's not stocked.

non-stocking...

00:37:04,556 --> 00:37:05,807

"out of ink."
602
00:37:43,303 --> 00:37:45,763
Then there's the
two by two thing,
that doesn't work.
603
00:37:45,763 --> 00:37:47,432
All right, there's Noah
and his sons.
604
00:37:47,432 --> 00:37:48,766
"All right, Shem, Ham,
605
00:37:48,766 --> 00:37:50,143
"Japheth, here we go.

"How many's that so far?"
611
00:38:02,155 --> 00:38:04,073
"So far, two lions,
two tigers, Dad."
612
00:38:08,495 --> 00:38:09,579
"Should be...
613
00:38:11,831 --> 00:38:13,082
"Oh, for fuck's sake."
614
00:38:14,459 --> 00:38:15,835
It wouldn't work, would it?
615
00:38:15,835 --> 00:38:18,213
Lions and tigers would eat
everything. It's like
616
00:38:18,213 --> 00:38:22,550
putting four students on a boat
with a load of cake mix.
617
00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:25,053
Do you remember cake mix?
You made it as a kid,
the first time.
618
00:38:25,053 --> 00:38:27,472
You made it. You put
the stuff in. You
didn't put the stuff in.
619
00:38:27,472 --> 00:38:30,308
No, your mom probably
put the stuff in,
and then you did all that stuff,
620
00:38:30,308 --> 00:38:31,726
and then it was poured out.
621
00:38:31,726 --> 00:38:33,269
Then they said you could lick
the spoon.
622
00:38:33,269 --> 00:38:37,815
And you went,
"Oh, my God!
This is amazing.
623
00:38:37,815 --> 00:38:40,401
"Is this heaven?
Did God... Is it?"
624
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:44,864
And there's
a whole plate of it.
625
00:38:44,864 --> 00:38:47,534
And then it was put
into the fire,
626
00:38:47,534 --> 00:38:49,994
and it came out less good
than it went in.
627
00:38:51,913 --> 00:38:54,749
It was genius when it went in
and it came out...
628
00:38:54,749 --> 00:38:56,626
Oh.
629
00:38:56,626 --> 00:38:59,003
The whole ark story
doesn't make sense.
630
00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:01,130
And when, after 40 days
and 40 nights of rain,
631
00:39:01,130 --> 00:39:03,341
which is only 40 days
of rain, isn't it?
632
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:05,093
40 days and 40 nights.
633
00:39:05,093 --> 00:39:06,761
The nights are implicit,
aren't they?
634
00:39:06,761 --> 00:39:08,721
It's all built in.
635
00:39:08,721 --> 00:39:11,641
I mean, you know, when you
go to hotels, "I'm staying
for three days."
636
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:13,351
"Will you stay for the nights?
637
00:39:16,854 --> 00:39:19,816
After a month and a bit
of rain they'd be
there from the Bible,
638
00:39:19,816 --> 00:39:22,819
"We're here from the Bible.
It's the day when the Ark...
639
00:39:22,819 --> 00:39:25,238
"The Ark is just
coming into view.
640
00:39:25,238 --> 00:39:27,407
"Forty days, forty nights
of rain.

00:39:27,407 --> 00:39:30,910
"Wonderful. Welcome,
the audiences around the world
here on BBC World Service.
642
00:39:30,910 --> 00:39:35,290
"And well, then we're going to
have a word with Noah
and his wife.
643
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:37,166
"And here he comes.
644
00:39:37,166 --> 00:39:41,546
"Mr. Noah, could you just...
Could just tell me...
645
00:39:41,546 --> 00:39:44,215
"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen,
don't seem to be able to
stop him there.
646
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:46,593
"Must be some sort of
reception he has to go to.
647
00:39:46,593 --> 00:39:48,761
"And the lions and
the tigers come.

00:39:48,761 --> 00:39:51,347
"Hey, lads, how was it?
How was that on the...
649
00:39:51,347 --> 00:39:53,141
"Can't seem to
stop the lions and
tigers either.
650
00:39:53,141 --> 00:39:55,268
"Or was it maybe going
to the toilet or something?
651
00:39:55,268 --> 00:39:57,228
"I'm not sure what
all that's about.
652
00:39:57,228 --> 00:39:59,897
"So we'll wait for
one of the other animals.
653
00:39:59,897 --> 00:40:02,275
"I can see on the top deck
what looks like strawberry jam.
654
00:40:02,275 --> 00:40:03,276
"A lot of strawberry jam.
655
00:40:04,694 --> 00:40:06,112
"They obviously had
a lot of sandwiches.
656
00:40:06,821 --> 00:40:07,905
"And here's a squirrel.
657
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:09,240
"Mr. Squirrel. Mr. Squirrel,"
658
00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:11,284
"could you tell me how...
How it was on the Ark?"
659
00:40:12,910 --> 00:40:14,037
"It was a nightmare, man.
660
00:40:15,788 --> 00:40:17,457
"It was the biggest nightmare.
661
00:40:17,457 --> 00:40:20,293
"Those stripy bastards.
They killed everyone, man.
662
00:40:20,293 --> 00:40:23,087
"They're all dead,
they're all dead!
There's no one there.
663
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:25,965
"Oh, my God.
I hid in
a biscuit tin, man!
664
00:40:25,965 --> 00:40:29,427
"It was fucking insane."
665
00:40:29,427 --> 00:40:31,137
"Were they
chocolate hobnobs?"
666
00:40:31,137 --> 00:40:33,181
"I don't fucking know.
What the hell
are you on about,
667
00:40:33,181 --> 00:40:36,225
"you biscuit freak?"
668
00:40:36,225 --> 00:40:38,061
"Well, what happened
to your wife? Wasn't she
with you on the boat?"
669
00:40:38,061 --> 00:40:40,772
"She got away, man. On a boat,
with an owl and a pussy cat."
670
00:40:43,316 --> 00:40:46,277
"Did they take some money
and plenty of honey?"
671
00:40:46,277 --> 00:40:47,987
"I don't know.
I didn't see anything.
672
00:40:47,987 --> 00:40:50,698
"They took a Gatling gun, some
soap and a razor, and
673
00:40:51,449 --> 00:40:53,326
"some chain mail,
674
00:40:54,327 --> 00:40:55,828
"and some iodine."
675
00:41:01,834 --> 00:41:02,919
"That's not very poetic."
676
00:41:03,836 --> 00:41:05,421
"Wasn't poetry, man!
677
00:41:05,421 --> 00:41:07,590
"They were fucking escaping
from the ma...
Who are you?"
678
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:11,803
"This is BBC World Service,
679
00:41:11,803 --> 00:41:14,972
"broadcasting from
some fucking where."
680
00:41:14,972 --> 00:41:18,685
I'll tell you about giraffes.
Giraffes are interesting.
They're one of the silent ones.
681
00:41:18,685 --> 00:41:22,563
They don't have a danger call.
If a giraffe, when it's spending
its time in Africa,
682
00:41:22,563 --> 00:41:25,817
if it sees a tiger,
it would experience
two emotions.
683
00:41:25,817 --> 00:41:27,151
Fear and surprise,
684
00:41:27,151 --> 00:41:30,029
two of the emotions
of the Spanish Inquisition.
685
00:41:33,825 --> 00:41:35,910
As Monty Python
have taught us,
686
00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:38,329
fear, because it is a tiger
and surprise,
687
00:41:38,329 --> 00:41:40,998
because there are no tigers
in Africa.
688
00:41:42,750 --> 00:41:45,545
What's it doing there?
It must be on holiday.
689
00:41:47,255 --> 00:41:49,882
I've tried this scene with lions
and it doesn't fucking work,
690
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:51,634
so just go with me, okay?
691
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:53,845
So it sees a tiger,
and the giraffe turns,
692
00:41:53,845 --> 00:41:56,931
and there's no noise.
There's no...
693
00:41:56,931 --> 00:41:59,726
There's no...
There's no danger sound.
694
00:41:59,726 --> 00:42:02,478
If it had a jazz chicken
around it's neck
at least it could've...
695
00:42:10,445 --> 00:42:12,280
And then they'd all retreat
in twos,
696
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,948
break into fours, pull back.
697
00:42:13,948 --> 00:42:17,952
This joke was very funny
100 years ago when...
698
00:42:17,952 --> 00:42:20,329
Back in the early 1800s,
when a lot of that
699
00:42:20,329 --> 00:42:22,206
shit was going on.
This really kills.
700
00:42:25,209 --> 00:42:26,502
There's none of that.
701
00:42:26,502 --> 00:42:28,713
All the giraffes can do,
ff you look on Wikipedia,
702
00:42:28,713 --> 00:42:31,048
giraffes can cough,
so they must cough,
703
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:34,594
using the ancient British method
of coughing
704
00:42:34,594 --> 00:42:39,140
to express alarm,
distress, and
the end of empires.
705
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:43,144
So the giraffe sees the danger,
turns, and goes...
706
00:42:46,189 --> 00:42:47,523
Other giraffes...
707
00:43:03,456 --> 00:43:04,457
Tiger.
708
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:12,965
Tiger.
Tiger.
709
00:43:12,965 --> 00:43:15,092
There's a tiger over there.
710
00:43:15,092 --> 00:43:18,554
There's a bloody great big
tiger over there.
711
00:43:18,554 --> 00:43:20,515
Tiger at four o'clock.
712
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,428
Ti-ger.
713
00:44:05,393 --> 00:44:07,144
Grr...? Tiger?
714
00:44:21,367 --> 00:44:22,577
That's how they do it.
715
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:27,039
So, what am I
talking about?
716
00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:28,916
What was I talking about?
717
00:44:28,916 --> 00:44:30,877
I am talking about,
ladies and gentlemen,
what is the meaning of life?
718
00:44:30,877 --> 00:44:32,211
I don't know if
there is a meaning of life.
719
00:44:32,211 --> 00:44:34,547
I think,
I think there isn't
a meaning of life.
720
00:44:34,547 --> 00:44:36,924
Why are we here?
I have no idea why we're here.
721
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:41,596
But while we're here,
we may as well do civilization.
722
00:44:41,596 --> 00:44:44,807
It just means being
little bit British, you know,
a little bit,
723
00:44:44,807 --> 00:44:46,309
"Good morning.
How are you?"
724
00:44:47,226 --> 00:44:48,227
Walk on.
725
00:44:51,439 --> 00:44:52,815
I can't stand
the man, myself.
726
00:44:56,569 --> 00:44:58,446
Civilization kicked up with
the Egyptians.
727
00:44:58,446 --> 00:45:01,240
And the Sumerians.
Don't know much about
the Sumerians,
728
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,450
because I haven't
Wikipediad them.
729
00:45:03,451 --> 00:45:05,036
But the Egyptians,
they did stuff.
730
00:45:05,036 --> 00:45:08,623
They worshipped the Sun God, Ra,
which is slightly more logical
731
00:45:08,623 --> 00:45:10,958
than worshiping
an invisible God, Chris.
732
00:45:12,335 --> 00:45:15,630
As the Christians do.
733
00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:19,675
If you're a Christian,
you should be worshipping Chris,
shouldn't you? "Dear Chris.
734
00:45:19,675 --> 00:45:23,012
"I'm a Christian, and..."
you know?
735
00:45:23,012 --> 00:45:26,933
They quite like that,
but they don't really
like that, okay.
736
00:45:26,933 --> 00:45:28,809
But he's invisible.
737
00:45:28,809 --> 00:45:31,771
But the Sun God is there.
He's there. Well, not the God,
but the sun is.
738
00:45:31,771 --> 00:45:33,564
Every day.
And it's something more logical.
739
00:45:33,564 --> 00:45:35,066
I think they called him "Ra?"
740
00:45:35,066 --> 00:45:36,484
And they had a song for Ra.
741
00:45:36,484 --> 00:45:37,693
♪ Hurrah for Ra
742
00:45:37,693 --> 00:45:39,236
♪ He lives just over there
743
00:45:39,236 --> 00:45:41,530
♪ He comes up over there
And he goes out over there
744
00:45:41,530 --> 00:45:44,367
♪ I may chase him on a camel
But it really goes so far
745
00:45:44,367 --> 00:45:47,078
♪ Hurrah, for Ra!
He's a bit of a star ♪
746
00:45:51,624 --> 00:45:53,668
You're just applauding because
I sang a song.
747
00:45:53,668 --> 00:45:55,044
That's how easy it is.
748
00:45:55,044 --> 00:45:57,296
These singers get away with
a hell of a lot.
749
00:45:57,296 --> 00:45:59,382
They go...
♪ Ding, dong, bang
Fing, fong, pang
750
00:45:59,382 --> 00:46:02,426
♪ Fuck a duck
Hey! Motherfucker! ♪
751
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:06,180
We have to swear.
You see?
752
00:46:08,516 --> 00:46:12,019
That song is on sale also
on CD.
753
00:46:12,019 --> 00:46:14,981
The "Fuck a duck,
Motherfucker" song.
754
00:46:14,981 --> 00:46:18,234
Along with the
"Rah Hurrah for Ra" song.
755
00:46:18,234 --> 00:46:20,569
I think "Hurrah for Ra!"
would work.
756
00:46:20,569 --> 00:46:22,530
They also have
a written language.
757
00:46:22,530 --> 00:46:26,117
The Egyptians had a written
language, which was a nightmare
for newsreaders.
758
00:46:26,117 --> 00:46:27,576
"Here is the news in
ancient Egypt.
759
00:46:27,576 --> 00:46:31,664
"Dog, dog with a cat's face,
cat with a dog's face.
760
00:46:31,664 --> 00:46:33,499
"Human with a monkey's face.
Man with the thing.
761
00:46:33,499 --> 00:46:35,626
"Eye with legs,
a pot with legs,
762
00:46:35,626 --> 00:46:37,878
"two dogs, a rabbit
with an enormous...
763
00:46:37,878 --> 00:46:40,881
What is that? I... I think,
a cat, a bug?
764
00:46:40,881 --> 00:46:42,633
"Some sort of thing,
a man with...
765
00:46:42,633 --> 00:46:44,051
"one of those.
766
00:46:44,051 --> 00:46:46,679
"It seems the orgy
in the zoo continues.
767
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:51,058
"Into its fourth century.
768
00:46:51,058 --> 00:46:52,768
"Here is Jeanine,
with the weather."
769
00:46:52,768 --> 00:46:54,228
"Thank you.
It'll be sunny forever."
770
00:46:54,228 --> 00:46:55,229
"Thanks, Jeanine.
771
00:46:58,232 --> 00:47:01,444
"Now we're going over
to our studio
in ancient Greece."
772
00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:05,531
Now the Greeks, they're more
fun than the Egyptians.
773
00:47:05,531 --> 00:47:07,408
I like the ancient Egyptians.
774
00:47:07,408 --> 00:47:08,617
They did some great stuff.
775
00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:10,870
But the ancient Greeks,
they get into it.
776
00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:13,330
The Athenians,
they invent democracy.
777
00:47:13,330 --> 00:47:14,415
It's a Greek word.
778
00:47:14,415 --> 00:47:16,000
Demos means people.
779
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,127
Ocracy is a kind of inflatable
cat seat.
780
00:47:20,588 --> 00:47:22,840
We think, we're not sure.
The translation is a bit tricky.
781
00:47:24,592 --> 00:47:26,844
They had city states,
the Athenians,
782
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:29,764
the Thebians,
the... bingy bangians...
783
00:47:29,764 --> 00:47:31,223
The Spartans.
784
00:47:32,099 --> 00:47:34,435
The Spartans were fantastic.
785
00:47:34,435 --> 00:47:36,645
Where, you know,
elite troops,
786
00:47:36,645 --> 00:47:38,064
a nation of elite troops
787
00:47:38,064 --> 00:47:39,440
or a city state of elite troops.
788
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,192
Bastards, complete nut bags.
789
00:47:41,192 --> 00:47:42,651
They attacked the country
next to them
790
00:47:42,651 --> 00:47:45,529
enslaved those people
for 400 years,
791
00:47:45,529 --> 00:47:48,115
and humiliated them
for 400 years.
792
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,034
Bastards, really.
793
00:47:50,034 --> 00:47:51,827
And the men, of course,
were...
794
00:47:51,827 --> 00:47:53,704
You know,
the Spartan men.
795
00:47:53,704 --> 00:47:55,289
Spartan women...
796
00:47:55,289 --> 00:47:56,540
Spartan children...
797
00:47:56,540 --> 00:47:58,876
Spartan dogs, woof!
Spartan cats, meow!
798
00:48:00,294 --> 00:48:02,463
Spartan moles...
799
00:48:05,633 --> 00:48:07,593
Spartan sheep...
Silence.
800
00:48:09,220 --> 00:48:11,263
They were ninjas.
801
00:48:11,263 --> 00:48:15,267
Ninja sheep. They would wear
bandannas around their heads
with Japanese writing
802
00:48:15,267 --> 00:48:18,979
that they didn't understand,
because they were sheep,
803
00:48:18,979 --> 00:48:21,649
and they would, they would creep
up on their prey.
804
00:48:21,649 --> 00:48:24,193
They would creep up.
No, they'd creep up
on their predators.
805
00:48:24,193 --> 00:48:25,945
Sheep would creep up
on their predators.
806
00:48:25,945 --> 00:48:27,446
How insane is that?
807
00:48:27,446 --> 00:48:29,115
They were just mad.
They had signals.
808
00:48:29,115 --> 00:48:31,659
They would just creep along
in the dead of the night.
809
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,679
Other sheep going...
810
00:48:57,351 --> 00:48:59,311
They'd creep up on the wolves.
811
00:48:59,311 --> 00:49:00,855
And the wolves
would go whoa!
812
00:49:01,981 --> 00:49:03,232
"There's a sheep.
813
00:49:04,066 --> 00:49:05,109
"We eat sheep.
814
00:49:05,860 --> 00:49:07,653
"Is this delivery?"
815
00:49:11,407 --> 00:49:13,242
But the sheep,
they had no fear.
816
00:49:13,242 --> 00:49:14,952
They would stand up
on their hind legs,
817
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:18,080
and they remove a rusty blade
from out of their
fobs of spines.
818
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:22,751
And they would shear themselves
in front of the wolves
819
00:49:28,382 --> 00:49:29,592
"Come on!"
820
00:49:35,181 --> 00:49:37,683
They'd pull up the skin
on their legs just a little bit,
821
00:49:39,226 --> 00:49:41,187
and the wolves would go,
"This is all wrong.
822
00:49:42,396 --> 00:49:44,190
"Grab their clothes and run."
823
00:49:46,150 --> 00:49:48,444
So the wolves in
sheep's clothing
824
00:49:48,444 --> 00:49:51,530
would run down the hill.
825
00:49:51,530 --> 00:49:54,033
That's where it began.
They'd run in to
the local markets
826
00:49:54,033 --> 00:49:56,202
and they'd order smoothies
and never pay.
827
00:49:57,494 --> 00:49:58,913
"Why didn't you take
their money?"
828
00:49:58,913 --> 00:50:00,289
"They said they'd invoice me."
829
00:50:00,289 --> 00:50:03,959
"Tch tch, they were wolves
in sheep's clothing."
830
00:50:05,294 --> 00:50:07,546
And it started a whole
spate of that.
831
00:50:07,546 --> 00:50:09,548
Wolves in sheep's clothing,
dogs in cats' clothing,
832
00:50:09,548 --> 00:50:12,051
rabbits in buffalo's clothing,
833
00:50:13,219 --> 00:50:16,639
mice in ant's clothing
834
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:19,016
and voles in moles' clothing.
835
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,809
Voles are very small moles.
836
00:50:20,809 --> 00:50:22,895
So voles in moles' clothing
is kind of...
837
00:50:25,022 --> 00:50:27,358
And then moles
in voles' clothing,
which is much more...
838
00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:33,155
The Spartans fought
a famous battle.
The Battle of Thermopylae,
839
00:50:33,155 --> 00:50:35,950
made into a film
by Shirley Temple,
840
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:40,955
called, On the Good Ship,
Lollipop.
841
00:50:40,955 --> 00:50:44,333
It's an anagram- "On the Good
Ship Lollipop."
"Battle of Thermopylae."
842
00:50:44,333 --> 00:50:46,252
It's exactly the same letters.
843
00:50:48,003 --> 00:50:50,798
It's almost exactly
the same letters.
844
00:50:52,925 --> 00:50:55,594
Shirley Temple, of course,
known many years ago
845
00:50:55,594 --> 00:50:56,887
for mop top songs.
846
00:50:56,887 --> 00:50:58,639
♪ I'm little mop top

848
00:51:01,558 --> 00:51:03,477
They said, "What do you
wanna do in this film?"
849
00:51:03,477 --> 00:51:05,229
She said,
"I want to kill people
in this film.
850
00:51:05,229 --> 00:51:08,941
"I want to stab 'em
with folks and spoons..."
851
00:51:08,941 --> 00:51:10,442

854
00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:14,989
And she was very powerful
in those days, not in
Hollywood terms,
855
00:51:14,989 --> 00:51:16,907
but just big forearms,
856
00:51:16,907 --> 00:51:18,325
and...
857
00:51:20,661 --> 00:51:21,996
A lot of spinach.
858
00:51:21,996 --> 00:51:24,081
And so they let her do the film.
And she filmed it.
859
00:51:24,081 --> 00:51:26,208
On the good ship, Lollipop, and
the Battle of Thermopylae.
860
00:51:26,208 --> 00:51:27,876
Those two merged together.

00:51:45,936 --> 00:51:47,688
they tested it on
kids in America.
865
00:51:47,688 --> 00:51:50,357
The kids exploded.
866
00:51:50,357 --> 00:51:52,151
And so they took it back.
They re-edited it,
867
00:51:52,151 --> 00:51:53,819
and they took
all the violence out.
868
00:51:53,819 --> 00:51:56,739
Now, if you watch On the Good
Ship Lollipop, you can't tell
869
00:51:56,739 --> 00:52:00,492
that it was once about
the Battle of Thermopylae.
870
00:52:00,492 --> 00:52:04,038
Except in some scenes,
Shirley Temple's got a
little bit of blood coming out.

But the Spartans were crazy.
880
00:52:31,190 --> 00:52:33,984
Tactically, very clever.
They would oil themselves
before battle
881
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:35,444
so they could never
be taken prisoner.
882
00:52:35,444 --> 00:52:37,363
I got one.
883
00:52:42,284 --> 00:52:43,786
It's like fighting fish
over here.
884
00:52:45,621 --> 00:52:47,331
And strategically very clever.
885
00:52:47,331 --> 00:52:49,875
They were fighting the Persians,
you see. They got the Persians
886
00:52:49,875 --> 00:52:51,585
to attack in a very
narrow place.
887
00:52:51,585 --> 00:52:54,046
which was the corridor
of a student union party.
888
00:52:56,090 --> 00:52:58,550
"Get all the beer out the back."
889
00:52:58,550 --> 00:53:01,887
And this is 300 Spartans
against 10,000 Persians,
890
00:53:01,887 --> 00:53:03,013
100,000 Persians.
891
00:53:03,013 --> 00:53:05,307
No one knows how many Persians.
892
00:53:05,307 --> 00:53:07,684
Scholars now think it was
all the Persians.
893
00:53:09,436 --> 00:53:12,439
If you were around on that day,
you could just nip into Persia
894
00:53:12,439 --> 00:53:14,650
and help yourself
to cats and carpets.
895
00:53:24,993 --> 00:53:27,830
Back there.
896
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:30,666
-"Hey, man,
what you doing here?
897
00:53:30,666 --> 00:53:32,960
"Put the carpet
in the back, man.
Forget the cat."
898
00:53:40,592 --> 00:53:42,761
Fuck...
899
00:53:44,596 --> 00:53:45,597
Bye!
900
00:53:48,559 --> 00:53:50,394
Don't understand that,
you see.
901
00:53:52,479 --> 00:53:56,024
So, now the Greeks they fought
in an organized group of battle,
902
00:53:56,024 --> 00:53:57,568
group of men,
903
00:53:57,568 --> 00:53:59,653
a rectangular group
called the Phalanx.
904
00:53:59,653 --> 00:54:02,322
And, Alexander the Great's dad,
his name was Phil,
905
00:54:02,990 --> 00:54:04,241
and...
906
00:54:04,241 --> 00:54:05,659
- She knows him.
907
00:54:06,493 --> 00:54:08,412
Phil of Macedonia.
908
00:54:08,412 --> 00:54:09,997
You married him, excellent.
909
00:54:13,709 --> 00:54:16,295
Just a guy called Phil,
or actually Phillip
of Macedonia?
910
00:54:16,295 --> 00:54:18,714
Because that's just...
They're different things.
911
00:54:20,507 --> 00:54:24,261
So and he said, I know,
I'll give the Phalanx
18-foot spears,
912
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:27,139
which in metric terms,
is 7,000 meters.
913
00:54:28,932 --> 00:54:30,142
Long spears.
Right?
914
00:54:30,142 --> 00:54:31,643
So you couldn't get at them.
915
00:54:31,643 --> 00:54:34,021
You couldn't get at them
'cause they had 18-foot spears.
916
00:54:34,021 --> 00:54:36,356
The only way to get at them
is if one of your group
917
00:54:36,356 --> 00:54:38,484
sacrificed himself to
break up the group
918
00:55:35,082 --> 00:55:38,168
Thunk!
919
00:55:38,919 --> 00:55:40,420
Shit.
920
00:56:05,487 --> 00:56:07,656
"It started out as
such a good day."
921
00:56:18,250 --> 00:56:20,711
"It works, it works.
922
00:56:20,711 --> 00:56:22,045
"18-foot spear.
923
00:56:23,130 --> 00:56:25,966
"God, he's heavy."
924
00:56:25,966 --> 00:56:27,509
"Wiggle him down the other end.
925
00:56:27,509 --> 00:56:29,761
-"Huh?"
-"Wiggle him
down the other end."
926
00:56:29,761 --> 00:56:31,096
"All right."
927
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:48,822
It's like a really lonely
game of table football.
928
00:56:51,825 --> 00:56:53,910
Thunk! Thunk! "Shit.
929
00:56:53,910 --> 00:56:55,495
"He's caught
on the stopper."
930
00:56:56,747 --> 00:56:59,082
"It's not a stopper.
It's a spearhead."
931
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:01,376
"I don't know.
I've never seen the other end."
932
00:57:03,754 --> 00:57:05,422
"Hang on."
933
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:19,311
"This reminds me of something.
934
00:57:19,311 --> 00:57:21,563
"Well, it gives me an idea.
935
00:57:21,563 --> 00:57:23,899
"If we ever put screens
on the front of chariots.
936
00:57:25,817 --> 00:57:28,945
"Something like this
could remove the excess water
from the screen
937
00:57:33,867 --> 00:57:34,868
"What?"
938
00:57:35,744 --> 00:57:37,371
"It's just an idea."
939
00:57:38,163 --> 00:57:39,915
"Fucking bonkers, you are."
940
00:57:43,126 --> 00:57:46,380
"Okay, that's better,
I can hold this
closer to the fulcrum.
941
00:57:47,881 --> 00:57:49,508
"A little bit intimidating."
942
00:57:56,682 --> 00:57:58,266
"Hang on."
943
00:57:59,810 --> 00:58:02,688
"Okay, I'll go now."
944
00:58:05,524 --> 00:58:07,776
And the Romans came,
and the Romans...
945
00:58:08,777 --> 00:58:10,987
They cut through
the whole Phalanx
946
00:58:10,987 --> 00:58:12,155
with the short swords.
947
00:58:12,155 --> 00:58:14,282
How did they do it with
the short swords?
948
00:58:14,282 --> 00:58:16,201
They became bacon slicers,
these gentlemen.
949
00:58:16,201 --> 00:58:19,371
They went...
950
00:58:19,371 --> 00:58:21,039
"Hang on. Hang on. Hang on!
951
00:58:22,290 --> 00:58:23,875
"My fucking spear."
952
00:58:24,793 --> 00:58:26,211
Bong!
953
00:58:26,753 --> 00:58:28,422
"Bastard.
954
00:58:29,756 --> 00:58:30,841
"Good afternoon."
955
00:58:31,842 --> 00:58:33,552
"Hey."
956
00:58:33,552 --> 00:58:35,387
"Where are you from?"
957
00:58:35,387 --> 00:58:37,639
"Versailles."
958
00:58:44,813 --> 00:58:47,107
"Hey, man.
What are you doing here?"
959
00:58:47,107 --> 00:58:48,900
"Fucking loads of them."
960
00:58:52,571 --> 00:58:54,531
"Et tu, you brute!"
961
00:58:55,657 --> 00:58:57,367
"Can I keep this,
can I keep this?"
962
00:58:57,367 --> 00:58:59,119
"No, it's mine."
"Fuck off." "No."
963
00:58:59,119 --> 00:59:00,120
"Craved goods."
964
00:59:02,873 --> 00:59:04,833
The Romans,
965
00:59:04,833 --> 00:59:07,294
they took over everything.
They could do that.
966
00:59:07,294 --> 00:59:11,006
They had aqueducts, viaducts.
They could move ducks around
faster than anyone ever had.
967
00:59:12,632 --> 00:59:14,259
And the Romans did all this
968
00:59:14,259 --> 00:59:16,595
with a language
that we know from school
969
00:59:16,595 --> 00:59:18,138
is silly.
970
00:59:19,639 --> 00:59:22,726
It's a silly Billy language.
971
00:59:22,726 --> 00:59:26,563
It has a nominative, evocative,
accusative, a generative,
a dative, an ablative.
972
00:59:26,563 --> 00:59:28,398
Fuck. Off.
973
00:59:29,900 --> 00:59:34,070
How did they do so much
with a language
974
00:59:34,070 --> 00:59:35,614
so silly?
975
00:59:35,614 --> 00:59:37,115
How did they do that?
976
00:59:37,115 --> 00:59:39,326
When Hannibal, the famous
General Hannibal from Carthage,
977
00:59:39,326 --> 00:59:41,369
whose father was called
Hamilcar
978
00:59:41,369 --> 00:59:42,662
a famous general as well.
979
00:59:42,662 --> 00:59:45,123
And so Hannibal,
he knew what he was doing.
980
00:59:45,123 --> 00:59:47,918
He was a trained general.
And he came with revenge
in his heart.
981
00:59:47,918 --> 00:59:49,711
And he crossed across
the Mediterranean
982
00:59:49,711 --> 00:59:52,297
through Spain, up over the Alps,
on elephants,
983
00:59:52,297 --> 00:59:54,132
which is crazy.
984
00:59:54,132 --> 00:59:56,760
And you know the story.
So, "Yeah,
he came on elephants."
985
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,637
But it's like
coming on pandas.
986
01:00:00,639 --> 01:00:02,140
Yeah, it's that weird.
987
01:00:03,725 --> 01:00:05,185
And he did this--
988
01:00:05,185 --> 01:00:07,103
I mean, how did the elephants
get over the Alps?
989
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:09,189
They must have been going,
"Fuck, yeah.
990
01:00:10,482 --> 01:00:12,442
"It's all right for you, Dumbo,
you can fly."
991
01:00:16,196 --> 01:00:18,448
And then they must have--
Only... 60 started off,
992
01:00:18,448 --> 01:00:20,867
only one made it.
There must've been
just one elephant.
993
01:00:20,867 --> 01:00:22,911
When they started falling
down the Alps,
994
01:00:22,911 --> 01:00:27,791
most of them dying tragically,
just one, one elephant
who just had it. Just...
995
01:00:37,342 --> 01:00:39,511
Hannibal going,
"Look at that fucking elephant."
996
01:00:45,725 --> 01:00:48,144
"Extreme elephant, baby.
Look at him go."
997
01:00:50,689 --> 01:00:53,441
With his tail... with his tail?
His trunk over his shoulder,
998
01:00:54,359 --> 01:00:55,819
like a businessman's tie.
999
01:01:00,448 --> 01:01:01,992
Hannibal going,
"I'm with him."
1000
01:01:04,494 --> 01:01:06,788
But it must have scared
the shit out of the Romans.
1001
01:01:06,788 --> 01:01:09,499
The Romans haven't lost battles,
and now they were losing.
1002
01:01:09,499 --> 01:01:11,293
And how did they get
the message out?
1003
01:01:11,293 --> 01:01:14,004
Because the military,
Roman military,
famed for its organization,
1004
01:01:14,004 --> 01:01:18,133
with a language
that was silly, silly, silly.
1005
01:01:18,133 --> 01:01:21,928
How did they do this?
Messengers come running...
"Centurion...
1006
01:01:21,928 --> 01:01:27,475
"Centurioni, centuriatus,
saway, centurion, sawate...
Sawawe?
1007
01:01:32,731 --> 01:01:40,238
"Sa-wa-te. Sawate, centurioni?
Sawawe, centuriamus?"
1008
01:01:40,238 --> 01:01:43,742
"Quid, quad, qud.

01:01:46,703 --> 01:01:48,872

"Wait, wait, wait...

01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:23,782
"Arrivederci?"
1020
01:02:23,782 --> 01:02:26,284
"Veni, vidi--"
1021
01:02:26,284 --> 01:02:28,870
"Veni, vidi, fucking vici."
1022
01:02:28,870 --> 01:02:31,998
"Si, mein herr.
Veni, vidi, vici."
1023
01:02:31,998 --> 01:02:34,334

01:03:32,350 --> 01:03:33,351
"Oh, thanks, mate."

"He's coming around

Coming 'round the mountains?"
1042
01:03:55,290 --> 01:03:58,209
"Coming 'round the mountains,

01:03:59,044 --> 01:04:02,005

"Fuck a duckus."
"Motherfuckus."

"Run, motherfuckers!"
1055
01:04:46,299 --> 01:04:48,426
Now that is half an hour
of conversation.
1056
01:04:51,221 --> 01:04:52,889
Now, here it is...
1057
01:04:54,974 --> 01:04:57,352
Here it is in English.
Here it is in English.
1058
01:04:57,352 --> 01:04:58,812
"Hannibal's coming."
"Hannibal? What? With?
1059
01:04:58,812 --> 01:05:00,730
"Soldiers." "How many?"
"Lots." "What else?"
1060
01:05:00,730 --> 01:05:03,399
"Elephants." "What are they?"
"Pigs and squirrels." "Run!"
1061
01:05:03,399 --> 01:05:05,735
- Seven seconds.
1062
01:05:05,735 --> 01:05:07,529
That's what happened.
1063
01:05:07,529 --> 01:05:09,697
English, the language
that you speak and I speak,
1064
01:05:09,697 --> 01:05:10,990
this--
1065
01:05:10,990 --> 01:05:12,700
The language that's become
the lingua franca.
1066
01:05:12,700 --> 01:05:15,870
Whatever the fuck that means
around the world,
it's taken off
1067
01:05:15,870 --> 01:05:18,998
because on its basic level,
it is terribly simple.
1068
01:05:18,998 --> 01:05:21,209
You know, we have apple
and apples.
1069
01:05:21,209 --> 01:05:23,044
I want an apple.
I'm gonna give you an apple.
1070
01:05:23,044 --> 01:05:24,838
That apple came to me.
I'd send you an apple.
1071
01:05:24,838 --> 01:05:26,506
Of the apple. To the apple.
By the apple.
1072
01:05:26,506 --> 01:05:29,134
It's just fucking apple
and apples.
1073
01:05:29,134 --> 01:05:31,344
It'll be appleorum,
appleetus, appleatus...
1074
01:05:31,344 --> 01:05:32,887
Fuck all that.
1075
01:05:32,887 --> 01:05:35,557
Someone, one of us, years ago,
bunch of them got together,
1076
01:05:35,557 --> 01:05:38,059
I don't know who it was,
but clever, clever--
1077
01:05:38,059 --> 01:05:40,937
"No masculine. Is it masculine
or feminine or neuter,
the apple?"
1078
01:05:40,937 --> 01:05:42,063
"It's a fucking apple!
1079
01:05:43,565 --> 01:05:44,732
"Stop fucking around."
1080
01:05:50,405 --> 01:05:52,031
Yeah, English language.
1081
01:05:52,031 --> 01:05:54,534
It's-- obviously in simple level
and in its more advanced level,
1082
01:05:54,534 --> 01:05:56,703
English is very complicated,
of course.
1083
01:05:56,703 --> 01:06:02,041
If you said a complicated line
of English, "Mr. Stevenson
transgressed
1084
01:06:02,041 --> 01:06:08,339
"the dictatorial nature
of his surrogate friend
1085
01:06:08,339 --> 01:06:14,345
"when he intimated the explosive
nature of the conundrum."
1086
01:06:16,014 --> 01:06:17,640
That's quite complicated,
isn't it?
1087
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:20,560
Dunno what the fuck it means,
but, you know, it's just--
1088
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,145
You try ad-libbing
a difficult line.
1089
01:06:25,481 --> 01:06:26,733
They're difficult.
1090
01:06:26,733 --> 01:06:29,986
That's why they're called
difficult lines.
1091
01:06:29,986 --> 01:06:31,988
There's a whole page
on difficult lines.
1092
01:06:32,906 --> 01:06:34,657
"Lost everyone." Okay.
1093
01:06:36,284 --> 01:06:37,619
Anyway, now...
1094
01:06:37,619 --> 01:06:38,953
The Romans.
1095
01:06:38,953 --> 01:06:44,500
They all died in a chariot crash
on the Appian Way,
1096
01:06:44,500 --> 01:06:47,212
where the Appian Way...
It used to be four five nine,
1097
01:06:47,212 --> 01:06:49,005
Nasty turning.
1098
01:06:49,005 --> 01:06:52,383
See, all the Roman citizens
were trying--
they were on the chariot.
1099
01:06:52,383 --> 01:06:55,345
They were trying to do that
how-many-can-you-get-in-a-Mini
thing.
1100
01:06:57,305 --> 01:07:01,226
And then suddenly,
the windscreen wipers failed
because the hamster burnt out.
1101
01:07:06,314 --> 01:07:08,441
It could have happened.
1102
01:07:08,441 --> 01:07:13,446
And so the classical thinking
died in 410 of the common era.
1103
01:07:13,446 --> 01:07:18,117
And then they went into
the dark ages and the dingy ages
and I-can't-really-see ages.
1104
01:07:18,117 --> 01:07:21,537
And then you've got
the medi-evil period and then
the medi-good period,
1105
01:07:23,748 --> 01:07:27,126
and then the medi-
thinking-in-a-proper-sense...
1106
01:07:27,126 --> 01:07:30,713
And then we get Renaissance,
and the Enlightenment
and Charles Darwin,
1107
01:07:30,713 --> 01:07:33,549
in 18...
1108
01:07:33,549 --> 01:07:37,512
Charles Darwin wrote that famous
book, Great Expectations.
1109
01:07:41,140 --> 01:07:44,310
The story of an amoeba
called Pip,
1110
01:07:44,310 --> 01:07:46,896
who went to stay
at Lady Bad Crumble's house.
1111
01:07:48,147 --> 01:07:51,317
And she had a very hot daughter.
1112
01:07:51,317 --> 01:07:55,571
This daughter was not
that good-looking, she
just lived on a radiator.
1113
01:07:55,571 --> 01:07:58,449
And Pip, the amoeba said,
"Will you marry me,
hot daughter?"
1114
01:07:58,449 --> 01:08:01,411
And she said...
1115
01:08:01,411 --> 01:08:03,913
He said, "I say again. Will you
marry me, hot daughter?
1116
01:08:03,913 --> 01:08:07,125
"I'm too small to be crushed
by your spikey heels."
1117
01:08:08,501 --> 01:08:10,128
She went...
1118
01:08:10,128 --> 01:08:11,963
He said, "You're just making
that noise.
1119
01:08:11,963 --> 01:08:13,881
"It's not really working.
1120
01:08:13,881 --> 01:08:16,009
For I am a single-celled
organization."
1121
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,179
She said, "Don't you mean
organism?"
He said, "Both.
1122
01:08:20,179 --> 01:08:23,308
"We have formed
an organization."
1123
01:08:23,308 --> 01:08:26,144
Anyway, he showed it
to his wife, and his wife went,
"Charlie.
1124
01:08:26,144 --> 01:08:28,521
"This is shit.
1125
01:08:28,521 --> 01:08:30,356
"You're losing the edge,
Charlie Dickens.
1126
01:08:30,356 --> 01:08:32,066
"I don't think you're doing
anymore."
1127
01:08:32,066 --> 01:08:33,776
He said, "I'm not
Charles Dickens."
1128
01:08:33,776 --> 01:08:35,528
"Who are you?"
"I'm Charles Darwin."
1129
01:08:35,528 --> 01:08:38,239
"You don't live here."
1130
01:08:38,239 --> 01:08:42,493
And it was true, Charles Dickens
and Charles Darwin lived
two vowels away from each other
1131
01:08:43,870 --> 01:08:45,371
on Dictionary Lane,
1132
01:08:46,456 --> 01:08:51,044
back in Hobbiton,
just south of England.
1133
01:08:51,044 --> 01:08:55,340
So it's true story. So later on
in 18...
1134
01:08:55,340 --> 01:08:58,176
Charles Dickens wrote
a very good version
of Great Expectations,
1135
01:08:58,176 --> 01:09:01,054
where the expectations
were great.
1136
01:09:01,054 --> 01:09:04,349
And Charles Darwin wrote
his famous book, which was
called "monkey, monkey,
1137
01:09:04,349 --> 01:09:05,975
"monkey, monkey,
monkey, monkey, you!"
1138
01:09:11,689 --> 01:09:14,275
And that was the book.
It caused an outrage.
1139
01:09:14,275 --> 01:09:16,152
An outrage
in the monkey community.
1140
01:09:16,152 --> 01:09:17,153
Monkeys were furious!
1141
01:09:18,529 --> 01:09:21,199
"We're not linked to those
human bugs," they said.
1142
01:09:21,199 --> 01:09:22,867
And monkeys
were flinging their poo
1143
01:09:22,867 --> 01:09:25,995
at anyone who would stick
a microphone in their face.
1144
01:09:25,995 --> 01:09:28,873
There was the monkey trial.
You've heard the famous
monkey trial?
1145
01:09:28,873 --> 01:09:31,125
Charlton Heston was put on trial
by monkeys.
1146
01:09:32,585 --> 01:09:34,587
And there he was sentenced to
two monkey films,
1147
01:09:36,130 --> 01:09:37,340
to be served back to back.
1148
01:09:38,883 --> 01:09:41,427
The first film was called
Planet called Monkey Town.
1149
01:09:42,512 --> 01:09:44,263
And the second one was called
1150
01:09:44,263 --> 01:09:46,391
Let's all go back to
Monkey Town
with similar people
1151
01:09:46,391 --> 01:09:49,102
and do similar things.
1152
01:09:49,102 --> 01:09:52,480
So evolution.
You could see evolution
very clearly with fish.
1153
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:55,858
Fish fly, we don't fly.
We're so bloody advanced.
1154
01:09:55,858 --> 01:09:58,695
Fish fly.
How did they get
to actually fly themselves?
1155
01:09:58,695 --> 01:10:00,405
They're in the sky.
They must love it.
1156
01:10:00,405 --> 01:10:02,073
They go,
"Ah, it's brilliant up here."
1157
01:10:02,073 --> 01:10:03,866
And they must stop in trees,
occasionally.
1158
01:10:03,866 --> 01:10:06,828
They stop in trees.
When they stop in trees,
birds will be in trees.
1159
01:10:06,828 --> 01:10:10,706
Birds will be going,
"Who the fuck are you guys?"
1160
01:10:10,706 --> 01:10:13,835
They'll be going, "We're the new
fish on the block."
1161
01:10:13,835 --> 01:10:15,878
And then it just becomes
like West Side Story.
1162
01:10:20,925 --> 01:10:23,469
And the birds going...
1163
01:10:26,389 --> 01:10:28,182
And the fish going...
1164
01:10:28,182 --> 01:10:33,896
Fish can't do that, can they?
So fish probably...
1165
01:10:36,149 --> 01:10:37,775
And birds going...
1166
01:10:39,902 --> 01:10:41,904
You let me get--
I was gonna do it for an hour.
1167
01:10:43,614 --> 01:10:46,993
Anyway, that explains evolution
quite well, I think.
1168
01:10:48,911 --> 01:10:51,664
Then there is creationism.
1169
01:10:51,664 --> 01:10:55,543
Creationism is where God went,
"Shazam!"
1170
01:10:55,543 --> 01:10:57,545
And created
an iPhone application.
1171
01:10:59,839 --> 01:11:04,594
It could tell what music
was being played
as the world was created.
1172
01:11:04,594 --> 01:11:07,180
But if I was God, I wouldn't do
six days to make the Earth
1173
01:11:07,180 --> 01:11:08,347
I'd just go, "Whoosh!
1174
01:11:08,347 --> 01:11:10,391
"There it is. It's blue.
Don't fuck it up."
1175
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,520
The only blue one out there.
1176
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,063
But no, he took six days.
1177
01:11:16,063 --> 01:11:18,024
It was like, my dad made
a train set for me
and my brother
1178
01:11:18,024 --> 01:11:19,484
when we were kids.
1179
01:11:19,484 --> 01:11:21,944
I think it's like that.
I think he's making a train set.
1180
01:11:21,944 --> 01:11:24,238
"Got six days."
After about three days,
1181
01:11:24,238 --> 01:11:26,741
small animals go,
"Who are you?"
1182
01:11:27,867 --> 01:11:30,369
"I'm God."
"Why are you taking so long?
1183
01:11:30,995 --> 01:11:32,205
"Are we there yet?"
1184
01:11:33,956 --> 01:11:35,458
"Well, I fucked up
a few of them.
1185
01:11:35,458 --> 01:11:38,753
"Have you seen Venus
and Mercury?"
1186
01:11:38,753 --> 01:11:40,838
"It's fucking crap, they are."
1187
01:11:40,838 --> 01:11:42,548
"We got no food.
You didn't make us food."
1188
01:11:42,548 --> 01:11:44,467
"All right, so,
what are you, badgers?
1189
01:11:44,467 --> 01:11:47,470
"Badgers shall eat bok choy!"
1190
01:11:49,597 --> 01:11:51,307
"No, we won't."
1191
01:11:54,435 --> 01:11:55,811
"Why not?" "Don't like it."
1192
01:11:57,021 --> 01:11:58,439
"It's all...
1193
01:11:59,649 --> 01:12:01,901
It's like it died
in the watery grave."
1194
01:12:03,152 --> 01:12:04,612
"For fuck's sake.
1195
01:12:04,612 --> 01:12:07,490
All right.
Badgers shall eat asparagus."
1196
01:12:07,490 --> 01:12:09,158
"No, that makes your pee
smell weird."
1197
01:12:10,701 --> 01:12:12,745
"Well, who told you that?"
"Wikipedia."
1198
01:12:15,248 --> 01:12:18,751
"All right. Badgers eat
creme brulee."
1199
01:12:18,751 --> 01:12:21,420
"All right. We would eat that.
We would eat creme brulee,
1200
01:12:21,420 --> 01:12:22,838
"but you didn't brulee that,
1201
01:12:22,838 --> 01:12:25,341
"you just went whoosh.
And it's creme. It's like toast.
1202
01:12:25,341 --> 01:12:27,176
"It's like-- it's like weird.'
1203
01:12:28,094 --> 01:12:30,721
"I see badgers can be choosers."
1204
01:12:40,481 --> 01:12:43,776
You try and get groans
and applause
on the same joke.
1205
01:12:46,195 --> 01:12:48,322
Now think why you groaning?
1206
01:12:48,322 --> 01:12:49,782
Because you've heard it before?
1207
01:12:51,158 --> 01:12:52,660
I think not.
1208
01:12:54,453 --> 01:12:56,372
New York,
you may be New York,
1209
01:12:56,372 --> 01:12:58,791
and you may have read
every fucking thing
that's going.
1210
01:12:58,791 --> 01:13:00,626
But you have not heard
1211
01:13:00,626 --> 01:13:06,591
the creme brulee-asparagus
- bok choy-badger-
God-creation joke.
1212
01:13:06,591 --> 01:13:08,301
- I don't think.
1213
01:13:09,969 --> 01:13:11,304
I don't think.
1214
01:13:13,848 --> 01:13:15,725
Anyway, it wasn't my joke.
1215
01:13:15,725 --> 01:13:17,143
It was God's joke.
1216
01:13:17,143 --> 01:13:20,771
They don't like you, God.
New York does not like you.
1217
01:13:20,771 --> 01:13:23,107
"Well, it's no surprise."
1218
01:13:25,359 --> 01:13:27,945
So, now, creationism is--
1219
01:13:27,945 --> 01:13:30,197
Creationism of course,
it has magic in there.
1220
01:13:30,197 --> 01:13:34,285
But through the mind sieve
of a Sarah Palin type woman,
it turns...
1221
01:13:39,248 --> 01:13:43,544
But that kind of person,
that kind of "O-ho-ho-ho-ho"
type person.
1222
01:13:45,963 --> 01:13:48,424
You get this intelligent
design-- you know in America,
1223
01:13:48,424 --> 01:13:51,677
and it is not really known
in Europe, I don't know for
the rest of the world,
1224
01:13:51,677 --> 01:13:53,721
intelligent design,
we don't really use it,
but it's quite clever
1225
01:13:53,721 --> 01:13:55,222
because you look up humans,
and think,
1226
01:13:55,222 --> 01:13:57,391
"Well, there's some sort of
design thing going on--"
1227
01:13:57,391 --> 01:13:59,644
Well, it works
and it's complicated.
1228
01:13:59,644 --> 01:14:02,396
It's complicated, and it works
does not mean
intelligent design.
1229
01:14:02,396 --> 01:14:03,689
There's also cancer.
1230
01:14:03,689 --> 01:14:08,361
What part of intelligent design
is cancer, eh?
1231
01:14:08,361 --> 01:14:10,279
Just crazy. Cows have
four stomachs.
1232
01:14:10,279 --> 01:14:12,865
What part of intelligent design
is that?
1233
01:14:12,865 --> 01:14:15,284
When we all have one stomach.
They could just-- they eat--
1234
01:14:15,284 --> 01:14:17,620
Cows eat it and bring it back up
and eat it
1235
01:14:17,620 --> 01:14:21,082
and bring it back up and eat it.
When it comes up for the fourth
stomach, cows should be going...
1236
01:14:29,715 --> 01:14:31,175
"I don't know why
this came back up.
1237
01:14:31,175 --> 01:14:33,636
"It just should've gone
the other way, really."
1238
01:14:36,555 --> 01:14:37,848
"Are you okay, Daisy?"
1239
01:14:48,275 --> 01:14:51,529
Cows should be throwing up,
mostly.
1240
01:14:51,529 --> 01:14:55,241
Two-thirds of all cows in
all fields, should be going...
1241
01:14:55,241 --> 01:14:57,868
I mean, real, proper
throwing up,
not like film throwing up,
1242
01:14:57,868 --> 01:15:01,330
where they throw up once
and that's it.
Throwing up is an opera.
1243
01:15:03,165 --> 01:15:06,252
You can't understand
a word anyone's saying,
and it goes on forever.
1244
01:15:07,670 --> 01:15:09,672
And there's at least five...
1245
01:15:09,672 --> 01:15:12,299
three to five acts, right?
There's a...
then there's a whole period
1246
01:15:12,299 --> 01:15:16,429
of...
1247
01:15:16,429 --> 01:15:18,472
"Do you want a glass of water?"
"No, fuck off."
1248
01:15:26,564 --> 01:15:28,899
And when you throw up,
everything wants to come out.
1249
01:15:28,899 --> 01:15:34,238
Your entire body is saying,
"Abandon ship,
abandon ship. Out."
1250
01:15:34,238 --> 01:15:37,324
If we didn't have
an internal skeleton,
your toes would be out there.
1251
01:15:41,662 --> 01:15:43,497
Your bodies go,
"What the fuck did you do?"
1252
01:15:44,707 --> 01:15:47,460
There's intelligent design.
1253
01:15:47,460 --> 01:15:49,628
Anyway, there's one rule
I found which was,
1254
01:15:49,628 --> 01:15:51,797
"Do unto others as you'd have
others do unto you."
1255
01:15:51,797 --> 01:15:53,716
I can't do it all the time.
1256
01:15:53,716 --> 01:15:56,552
I fuck it up. I get angry
and stuff, but it's--
I think it's all you need.
1257
01:15:56,552 --> 01:15:59,180
Treat others as you'd like
to be treated yourself.
Boom!
1258
01:15:59,180 --> 01:16:03,309
If everyone did it tomorrow,
we'd make it.
1259
01:16:03,309 --> 01:16:07,188
It's in the Bible. It's in
the Bible. I'm pretty damn
sure it's in the Quran.
1260
01:16:07,188 --> 01:16:09,356
It's called the Golden Rule.
It's all you need.
1261
01:16:09,356 --> 01:16:12,443
The Ten Commandments
come from Moses, who was
a charismatic individual,
1262
01:16:12,443 --> 01:16:14,236
- he was in--
1263
01:16:14,236 --> 01:16:16,822
And he's here tonight
and he's dressed as a cow.
1264
01:16:19,700 --> 01:16:20,868
Now Moses.
1265
01:16:20,868 --> 01:16:22,495
He was the one in the bed
of reeds.
1266
01:16:22,495 --> 01:16:24,330
He was brought up--
He was a Hebrew person,
1267
01:16:24,330 --> 01:16:26,791
brought up as an Egyptian,
killed a slave owner
1268
01:16:26,791 --> 01:16:30,169
and then took off to Hague
because it was bad news
in those days.
1269
01:16:30,169 --> 01:16:32,171
And then he went up--
and he was a shepherd.
1270
01:16:32,171 --> 01:16:33,714
So he's looking after the sheep,
1271
01:16:33,714 --> 01:16:35,382
"Yes. Spartan sheep.
They're crazy."
1272
01:16:35,382 --> 01:16:37,259
"Oh really?" "Yes."
1273
01:16:37,259 --> 01:16:39,053
"Wear bandannas
with Japanese writing."
1274
01:16:40,262 --> 01:16:42,807
"What does it mean?"
"No one knows."
1275
01:16:42,807 --> 01:16:45,601
"Not even Japanese?"
"No, the Japanese..."
1276
01:16:45,601 --> 01:16:47,520
Suddenly, a bush caught fire.
1277
01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,855
"Come on,
it's gone a bit weird,
gone a bit biblical.
1278
01:16:49,855 --> 01:16:52,107
"Come on, lads.
Let's just get out of here."
1279
01:16:52,107 --> 01:16:54,902
And the bush that was on fire
said, "Moses, come back here."
1280
01:16:54,902 --> 01:16:57,154
Then he says, "Ooh, he knows
my name. Hang on.
1281
01:16:57,154 --> 01:16:59,365
"Don't accept sweets
from children, all right?"
1282
01:17:01,075 --> 01:17:03,536
"What is it, oh, bush?"
Vocative.
1283
01:17:03,536 --> 01:17:04,787
"What is it, oh, bush?"
1284
01:17:05,913 --> 01:17:08,541
The only time you use
the vocative.
1285
01:17:08,541 --> 01:17:11,877
And the bush went,
"Moses, you must
leave this place."
1286
01:17:11,877 --> 01:17:17,258
"I was leaving it and you told
me to come back to tell me
to leave, you stupid bush."
1287
01:17:18,425 --> 01:17:19,510
"You're like
the last one we had."
1288
01:17:24,431 --> 01:17:27,226
"No. I mean, you must--
1289
01:17:27,226 --> 01:17:30,980
"Moses, you must leave here
in the short to midterm future
on a geopolitical basis."
1290
01:17:30,980 --> 01:17:33,607
"Oh, hang on.
No, you're totally different
to the other one.
1291
01:17:33,607 --> 01:17:34,608
"He couldn't say that.
1292
01:17:37,152 --> 01:17:38,362
"All right, I'll do it.
1293
01:17:38,362 --> 01:17:40,823
"I will leave here
on geopolitical...
1294
01:17:40,823 --> 01:17:42,658
"Whatever you said."
1295
01:17:42,658 --> 01:17:45,661
Now think about it.
A burning bush told him
to do this and he did it.
1296
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:48,998
If you were down your way
and you're walking down
the road and...
1297
01:17:48,998 --> 01:17:50,749
a hedge because,
a bush is a hedge,
1298
01:17:50,749 --> 01:17:53,878
so a hedge just round,
poof!
1299
01:17:53,878 --> 01:17:55,921
"Fucking hedge caught fire."
1300
01:17:55,921 --> 01:17:57,923
If the hedge then went,
"Steve."
1301
01:17:59,550 --> 01:18:01,051
'Hedge is talking to me,
hang on."
1302
01:18:02,386 --> 01:18:05,389
"What is it, oh, hedge?"
Vocative.
1303
01:18:08,517 --> 01:18:11,103
"You must leave this place.
1304
01:18:12,313 --> 01:18:14,189
Is this place the
ancient Timbuktu?"
1305
01:18:15,733 --> 01:18:16,817
"I'll do it."
1306
01:18:18,986 --> 01:18:20,863
"You must take everyone
you've ever met."
1307
01:18:20,863 --> 01:18:24,825
"Of course.
I'll get them to pack."
1308
01:18:26,493 --> 01:18:28,120
"And call the fire brigade
as well."
1309
01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:29,121
"Thank you."
1310
01:18:30,331 --> 01:18:31,665
"Oh for you? I see, right."
1311
01:18:33,459 --> 01:18:36,128
You wouldn't do it, would you?
You wouldn't listen to a hedge.
1312
01:18:37,838 --> 01:18:40,382
He listened to a hedge.
Why did God send
a hedge on fire?
1313
01:18:40,382 --> 01:18:42,760
Why not a hedge
that's not on fire?
1314
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:47,640
Because then you can think, "Oh,
there's someone in the hedge who
had books and stuff and a map.
1315
01:18:49,433 --> 01:18:51,310
They believe it was
a mistranslation.
1316
01:18:51,310 --> 01:18:53,854
And the burning bush means
he was on a volcanic mountain.
1317
01:18:53,854 --> 01:18:56,357
When he decided and had
the epiphany moment,
decided...
1318
01:18:56,357 --> 01:18:58,609
Mistranslation!
1319
01:18:58,609 --> 01:19:00,486
Because everything was written
in Greek,
1320
01:19:00,486 --> 01:19:02,780
because of Alexander the Great,
the Hellenic thing.
1321
01:19:02,780 --> 01:19:05,240
And they do believe that--
well, they know that
1322
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:07,368
the word-- the ancient Greek
word for virgin and
1323
01:19:07,368 --> 01:19:10,037
the ancient Greek for
young woman was the same word.
1324
01:19:10,037 --> 01:19:11,246
The whole Mary thing.
1325
01:19:11,246 --> 01:19:14,750
So... a virgin had a baby.
Wow!
1326
01:19:14,750 --> 01:19:17,086
Start a religion.
Get some posters.
Do the curly thing.
1327
01:19:18,253 --> 01:19:20,214
Or... a young woman had a baby.
1328
01:19:20,214 --> 01:19:21,298
Wow! Cigars.
1329
01:19:21,298 --> 01:19:23,092
Congratulations. Have a rest.
1330
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:26,303
Let's move on.
1331
01:19:26,303 --> 01:19:30,933
Because I would say it takes
away from the bloke.
Because I think he would exist.
1332
01:19:30,933 --> 01:19:33,769
I think the Jesus guy,
the Yeshua guy--
his real name was Yeshua.
1333
01:19:33,769 --> 01:19:35,771
Before it was, you know,
Hellen--
1334
01:19:35,771 --> 01:19:36,939
Hellenized into Jesus.
1335
01:19:36,939 --> 01:19:38,273
I think it was a real bloke.
1336
01:19:38,273 --> 01:19:40,275
I think he did stuff.
And then, it was said,
1337
01:19:40,275 --> 01:19:41,902
"He was a son
of a mystical thing."
1338
01:19:41,902 --> 01:19:44,238
And that devalues what he did,
you see?
1339
01:19:44,238 --> 01:19:47,700
Moses obeys the burning bush,
runs down says, "Come on, lads.
1340
01:19:47,700 --> 01:19:51,286
"Let's get out of here.
Let's take away the Hebrew
people and I will lead you.
1341
01:19:51,286 --> 01:19:54,373
"I will lead you
from this desert
and we shall go...
1342
01:19:54,373 --> 01:19:57,751
"to a desert.
1343
01:19:57,751 --> 01:19:59,670
"It sounds fantastically
different."
1344
01:20:01,588 --> 01:20:04,591
"Let's do it." "All right,
we'll go tonight
under the cover of frogs."
1345
01:20:07,011 --> 01:20:08,137
"I'm sorry?"
1346
01:20:08,595 --> 01:20:10,639
"Frogs."
1347
01:20:10,639 --> 01:20:13,392
'Cause there were 10 plagues
that landed on Egypt
and one was a plague of frogs.
1348
01:20:13,392 --> 01:20:17,646
And I'm sorry, but that is not
a plague. You can't have
a plague of frogs.
1349
01:20:17,646 --> 01:20:19,773
You could only have more frogs
than usual.
1350
01:20:22,651 --> 01:20:23,736
Not a fucking plague.
1351
01:20:23,736 --> 01:20:24,820
A plague of flies.
1352
01:20:24,820 --> 01:20:26,321
A plague is a disease, isn't it?
1353
01:20:26,321 --> 01:20:29,616
Plague.
So a plague of flies
is a... synonym...
1354
01:20:29,616 --> 01:20:34,204
whatever the word is
because. "Flies, flies--
Oh, plague, all flies."
1355
01:20:34,204 --> 01:20:35,414
Okay, I'll go with that.
1356
01:20:35,414 --> 01:20:37,624
Locusts.
"A plague of locusts."
1357
01:20:37,624 --> 01:20:39,334
Frogs are on the floor!
1358
01:20:41,128 --> 01:20:44,048
"A plague of frogs."
1359
01:20:45,591 --> 01:20:47,468
"The frogs. A plague.
1360
01:20:47,926 --> 01:20:49,344
"A plague."
1361
01:20:54,141 --> 01:20:56,268
"You're just sticking them down
your shirt."
1362
01:20:56,268 --> 01:20:57,644
"It's a plague!"
1363
01:20:59,271 --> 01:21:01,899
If that was from God,
he had run out of ideas.
1364
01:21:01,899 --> 01:21:04,485
"Bessus, Dessus, Enzus,
I want another plague."
1365
01:21:04,485 --> 01:21:06,570
"We've had nine, Dad.
1366
01:21:06,570 --> 01:21:09,281
"Plague of flies,
plague of locusts,
plague of cheese makers,
1367
01:21:09,281 --> 01:21:11,033
"a plague of helicopters.
1368
01:21:11,033 --> 01:21:12,534
"What the fuck!"
1369
01:21:12,534 --> 01:21:13,786
"I want frogs."
1370
01:21:16,371 --> 01:21:18,373
Yes, indeed.
So they must have just said,
1371
01:21:18,373 --> 01:21:21,919
"Look, there's lots of frogs,
lads. Strap one on your head,
and let's run."
1372
01:21:21,919 --> 01:21:25,339
Lots of Hebrew people with frogs
on their head, ran to the...
1373
01:21:25,339 --> 01:21:27,466
And the ancient Egyptians said,
"Wait-- wai--
1374
01:21:27,466 --> 01:21:29,635
"Oh, I've been drinking
far too much."
1375
01:21:29,635 --> 01:21:33,013
And they ran through the Red Sea
'cause a giant squid held
the water back.
1376
01:21:33,013 --> 01:21:34,890
"Good luck, lads.
All right."
1377
01:21:34,890 --> 01:21:37,643
"Giant squid diary,
day 3,000,009.
1378
01:21:37,643 --> 01:21:40,062
"Helped the Hebrew people
escape from ancient Egypt.
1379
01:21:40,062 --> 01:21:41,647
"Saw my old friend,
Mr. Squirrel."
1380
01:21:41,647 --> 01:21:43,649
"Hey, man,
what's going on here?
1381
01:21:43,649 --> 01:21:46,652
"Oh, God! I was enslaved
in fucking Egypt, man.
1382
01:21:46,652 --> 01:21:51,031
"It was a nightmare.
I met up with this guy."
1383
01:21:52,741 --> 01:21:57,579
"He's the manager of this band."
1384
01:21:58,872 --> 01:22:00,791
♪ Meow, meow, meow ♪
1385
01:22:04,795 --> 01:22:07,214
"I can't find my wife, though.
Have you seen my wife?"
1386
01:22:07,214 --> 01:22:10,134
"No, I haven't seen her."
"If you see my wife,
will you call me?"
1387
01:22:10,134 --> 01:22:11,969
"Do you have a number?"
"Yeah. Three."
1388
01:22:11,969 --> 01:22:13,053
"Okay."
1389
01:22:14,847 --> 01:22:15,889
"Bye."
1390
01:22:19,601 --> 01:22:22,020
Early days.
1391
01:22:22,020 --> 01:22:24,815
So then the Hebrew people
wandered in the desert
for 40 years,
1392
01:22:24,815 --> 01:22:27,192
and if I had been with them
after 23 years,
1393
01:22:27,192 --> 01:22:29,570
I would have said,
"Where are we going?
1394
01:22:31,155 --> 01:22:33,115
"We're just wandering
in the desert.
1395
01:22:33,115 --> 01:22:36,493
"I'll give you 17 more years,
and that's it."
1396
01:22:36,493 --> 01:22:39,204
And after 17--
after 40 years,
after 40 years,
1397
01:22:39,204 --> 01:22:41,874
it was obviously going nuts.
Everyone was going nuts.
1398
01:22:41,874 --> 01:22:44,918
"I'm gonna have sex
with my feet."
1399
01:22:44,918 --> 01:22:48,046
"I'm going to cut
my buttocks off
and use them as headphones."
1400
01:22:48,046 --> 01:22:51,008
"I'm going to fill myself
with sand and sell myself
to a taxidermist."
1401
01:22:53,927 --> 01:22:56,263
Moses said,
"No, you can't do this.
There are rules."
1402
01:22:56,263 --> 01:22:57,598
"There are no rules!"
1403
01:22:57,598 --> 01:22:59,141
"All right, I'll get 10."
1404
01:23:01,059 --> 01:23:03,687
"Just one would do fine."
"No, 10 it shall be."
1405
01:23:03,687 --> 01:23:06,356
So, he runs off
and comes back the next day,
"Here they are.
1406
01:23:06,356 --> 01:23:07,524
"Number one.
1407
01:23:07,524 --> 01:23:09,026
"Never piss in a toaster.
1408
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,738
"Number two.
Don't eat barbed wire.
1409
01:23:12,738 --> 01:23:15,616
"Number three.
Never put your poo
on your hair.
1410
01:23:15,616 --> 01:23:16,783
"Four."
1411
01:23:16,783 --> 01:23:19,703
After eight...
1412
01:23:19,703 --> 01:23:23,707
"You're just making this up.
We want better rules.
1413
01:23:23,707 --> 01:23:25,834
"Rules you can write on rocks,
for fuck's sake.
1414
01:23:25,834 --> 01:23:27,920
"Rock rules. The three R's."
1415
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:29,379
"Oh, right."
1416
01:23:29,379 --> 01:23:31,423
And he runs off. And this time,
he's gone for months--
1417
01:23:31,423 --> 01:23:33,675
months he's gone.
I think he's been eaten
by badgers.
1418
01:23:35,052 --> 01:23:36,595
So what do they do?
1419
01:23:36,595 --> 01:23:38,847
What would you do,
if your leader you follow
for 40 years
1420
01:23:38,847 --> 01:23:40,766
suddenly disappears
and never comes back?
1421
01:23:40,766 --> 01:23:42,226
They smelted metal.
1422
01:23:44,895 --> 01:23:46,772
That's absolutely what I'd do.
1423
01:23:46,772 --> 01:23:50,150
I would fire up a thing,
and melt things down,
1424
01:23:50,150 --> 01:23:55,239
to make an effigy
of a cow's friend, I--
nothing else to do,
1425
01:23:55,239 --> 01:23:57,157
not try and find him,
1426
01:23:57,157 --> 01:24:03,705
or any shit like that or set up,
you know, or go for help
or shit.
1427
01:24:03,705 --> 01:24:05,123
I'd smelt metal.
1428
01:24:05,123 --> 01:24:10,545
That's my--
It's the metallurgist...
in all of us.
1429
01:24:10,545 --> 01:24:12,547
Just suddenly came out rampant.
1430
01:24:12,547 --> 01:24:13,924
And it's really tricky stuff
1431
01:24:13,924 --> 01:24:15,884
if you've seen
Discovery Channel.
1432
01:24:15,884 --> 01:24:19,638
If you just do a little bit
of smelting and they say,
"Look, a golden calf."
1433
01:24:19,638 --> 01:24:22,599
"Kinda looks like a badger
who's exploded."
1434
01:24:22,599 --> 01:24:25,727
"That looks like, seven weasels
attached together
with each other."
1435
01:24:25,727 --> 01:24:28,021
"It's a calf or a dog
or something--
1436
01:24:28,021 --> 01:24:29,773
"It's called Kenny,
let's worship it.
1437
01:24:31,358 --> 01:24:32,818
"Dear Kenny, how are you?
1438
01:24:33,568 --> 01:24:35,445
"You've done great so far.
1439
01:24:35,445 --> 01:24:37,614
"You haven't done much.
But anyway, we're expecting
big things of you.
1440
01:24:37,614 --> 01:24:43,036
"Please bring us plum cake
and cheddar and--"
And suddenly Moses came back.
1441
01:24:43,036 --> 01:24:44,579
"What the fuck?"
1442
01:24:46,498 --> 01:24:47,582
"Smelting metal."
1443
01:24:49,042 --> 01:24:52,921
"I've got 10."
And he had 10.
And you don't need 10.
1444
01:24:52,921 --> 01:24:54,172
But he had 10.
1445
01:24:54,172 --> 01:24:58,218
One of which is...
1446
01:24:58,218 --> 01:24:59,553
Duh!
1447
01:24:59,553 --> 01:25:01,305
I think that shouldn't even
be one.
1448
01:25:01,305 --> 01:25:03,807
But then, there's,
"Thou shalt not kill,"
"Thou shalt not steal,"
1449
01:25:03,807 --> 01:25:05,392
which is built into
"Do unto others
1450
01:25:05,392 --> 01:25:07,060
"As you'd have or have others
do unto you."
1451
01:25:07,060 --> 01:25:09,021
You want others to kill you
or steal your stuff?
1452
01:25:09,021 --> 01:25:10,230
No, probably not.
1453
01:25:10,230 --> 01:25:12,983
So they'd-- you know,
it's self-policing,
1454
01:25:12,983 --> 01:25:14,484
And then the other seven
are all...
1455
01:25:14,484 --> 01:25:19,948
"Don't eat wood and stuff."
No one could remember them.
1456
01:25:19,948 --> 01:25:22,784
But there's one in there,
which is just a wild card
thrown in.
1457
01:25:22,784 --> 01:25:25,412
You know, like they put it in,
you know, in the contract,
1458
01:25:25,412 --> 01:25:28,540
just to make sure you're
reading it,
that no one ever reads.
1459
01:25:28,540 --> 01:25:32,085
"Thou shalt not covet
thy neighbor's ox."
1460
01:25:34,212 --> 01:25:35,297
What?
1461
01:25:37,424 --> 01:25:40,594
Thou shall not really, really
like thy neighbor's ox.
1462
01:25:40,594 --> 01:25:43,013
Not steal it, kill it, shoot it,
have sex with it.
1463
01:25:43,013 --> 01:25:48,602
Blow it out of a cannon.
Just like it. Want it.
1464
01:25:48,602 --> 01:25:50,937
You could offer money--
What's the fucking problem?
1465
01:25:50,937 --> 01:25:52,939
They got people killing
each other and stealing stuff,
1466
01:25:52,939 --> 01:25:56,026
and you're worried about
coveting oxes?
1467
01:25:56,026 --> 01:25:59,738
Maybe there was a whole plague
of that going on.
1468
01:25:59,738 --> 01:26:02,491
Steve likes Freddie's ox.
Freddie likes Jack's ox.
1469
01:26:02,491 --> 01:26:04,076
Jack likes Roger's ox.
1470
01:26:04,076 --> 01:26:07,287
"Oh, the ox is always greener
around here."
1471
01:26:07,287 --> 01:26:10,957
People going around, "You seen
Steve's ox? He's fantastic!
He's got such a big face."
1472
01:26:13,627 --> 01:26:16,129
"It's the most amazing ox
I've seen."
1473
01:26:16,129 --> 01:26:17,923
"Bloody coveting oxes again?"
1474
01:26:17,923 --> 01:26:21,051
"I can't stand it.
Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbor's ox."
1475
01:26:21,051 --> 01:26:23,845
"He's not my neighbor.
He lives across the road.
Number 23."
1476
01:26:25,472 --> 01:26:28,934
It must be a typo or a scribo,
mustn't it?
1477
01:26:30,477 --> 01:26:33,688
Yes, all please repeat
the word "scribo."
1478
01:26:34,898 --> 01:26:36,149
I just came up with it.
1479
01:26:36,149 --> 01:26:37,859
It must be.
It's not "Thou shalt not covet"
1480
01:26:37,859 --> 01:26:39,778
it's "Thou shalt not cover
thy neighbor's ox."
1481
01:26:39,778 --> 01:26:41,947
Don't cover him up,
so don't hide him.
1482
01:26:41,947 --> 01:26:43,281
'Cause come
the ploughing season,
1483
01:26:43,281 --> 01:26:45,575
"Where's my fucking ox?
1484
01:26:45,575 --> 01:26:47,911
"I've got 10 fields to plough,
or the kids will die.
1485
01:26:47,911 --> 01:26:49,204
"We have no food.
1486
01:26:49,204 --> 01:26:51,289
"There's no bloody ox.
Jim, have you seen my ox?
1487
01:26:51,289 --> 01:26:53,500
"Oh, for fuck--
Where's your duvet?
1488
01:26:55,335 --> 01:26:57,254
"You've lost a duvet
and I've lost an ox.
1489
01:26:57,254 --> 01:27:01,717
"I'm gonna talk to the militia
because some thing--
some duvet-ox stealer
1490
01:27:01,717 --> 01:27:03,176
"I mean, what kind of crazy--
1491
01:27:04,052 --> 01:27:06,888
"Oh, no! There's your duvet!
1492
01:27:06,888 --> 01:27:11,143
"Hang on a minute...
Whoosh! That's my ox!
1493
01:27:12,102 --> 01:27:14,604
"You covered my ox!
1494
01:27:14,604 --> 01:27:16,857
"Thou shalt not cover
thy neighbor's ox.
1495
01:27:18,358 --> 01:27:23,280
"Oh, Jim, I think you're going
to hell on a technicality."
1496
01:27:26,491 --> 01:27:28,994
Now, I can finish up by talking
about going to the moon.
1497
01:27:28,994 --> 01:27:31,663
because you went to--
not you guys,
1498
01:27:31,663 --> 01:27:33,582
but because it'll be
a bit of a squash.
1499
01:27:35,584 --> 01:27:37,419
Whole Madison Square Garden
in a spaceship.
1500
01:27:40,255 --> 01:27:43,758
Now, when you landed
on the moon,
that was the point where God
1501
01:27:43,758 --> 01:27:45,927
should have come up
and said hello.
1502
01:27:45,927 --> 01:27:49,389
Because if you invent
some creatures,
1503
01:27:49,389 --> 01:27:52,225
you put them on the blue one
and they make it
to the gray one,
1504
01:27:52,225 --> 01:27:55,228
then you're fucking turn up
and say, "Well done."
1505
01:27:55,228 --> 01:27:58,899
It's just a polite thing to do.
1506
01:27:58,899 --> 01:28:02,360
He should've been there going,
"Well done, Neil!
Neil, well done.
1507
01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:04,779
"You've made it.
You made it to the moon, yes!
1508
01:28:04,779 --> 01:28:07,199
"Buzz. Are you Buzz Lightyear?
Are you Buzz Lightyear?
1509
01:28:07,199 --> 01:28:09,451
"Are you Buzz Lightyear? Ha...
1510
01:28:12,412 --> 01:28:14,372
"Well, relax.
Take your shoes off. Relax.
1511
01:28:14,372 --> 01:28:15,999
"This is the moon.
This is where I live.
1512
01:28:15,999 --> 01:28:19,044
"I live on the dark side
of the moon, yes!
1513
01:28:19,044 --> 01:28:21,129
"I live here with Darth Vader
and Pink Floyd.
1514
01:28:21,588 --> 01:28:22,714
"Yes!"
1515
01:28:32,390 --> 01:28:33,475
"Good afternoon."
1516
01:28:35,101 --> 01:28:36,102
"That's Pink Floyd.
1517
01:28:38,980 --> 01:28:40,190
"And this is Darth Vader."
1518
01:28:42,400 --> 01:28:43,485
"Hello.
1519
01:28:44,861 --> 01:28:46,530
"My voice box
is fucked up.
1520
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:48,406
"Hello."
1521
01:28:50,116 --> 01:28:52,035
"Also on the moon, we have
Mr. Squirrel here."
1522
01:28:52,035 --> 01:28:54,120
"Hey, man,
what you doing here?
1523
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:55,622
"There's no atmosphere, man.
1524
01:28:55,622 --> 01:28:59,417
Except for these guys."
1525
01:29:05,298 --> 01:29:06,424
"Good afternoon.
1526
01:29:08,718 --> 01:29:14,015
Sharky, the friendly shark."
Hello, I found a child."
1527
01:29:18,186 --> 01:29:21,856
"Also, we have a wise old
scribe, the giant squid."
1528
01:29:21,856 --> 01:29:24,734
"Giant squid diary,
day 5,000,927.
1529
01:29:24,734 --> 01:29:28,113
"Star date Monkey
cheesecake helicopter.
1530
01:29:28,113 --> 01:29:30,532
"So the humans made it from
the blue one to the grey one.
1531
01:29:30,532 --> 01:29:34,536
"Well done.
But will they make it to the end
of the 21st century?
1532
01:29:34,536 --> 01:29:37,414
"It's up to them, man.
They've got to think out of
the box, it's up to them.
1533
01:29:37,414 --> 01:29:40,500
"And that audience
at Madison Square Garden
at that gig in New York...
1534
01:29:41,668 --> 01:29:43,169
"They have to think big.
1535
01:29:44,045 --> 01:29:45,213
"They have to make it happen.
1536
01:29:46,256 --> 01:29:48,008
"I hope they do.
1537
01:29:48,008 --> 01:29:52,721
"This is the giant squid
from the ship Nostromo
signing out."
1538
01:29:54,764 --> 01:29:58,518
That's all for me.
Thank you very much,
Madison Square Garden, New York.
1539
01:29:59,686 --> 01:30:00,854
Good night!
