Okay Boom, you started it.
A punch line has been going through my head all day and I cannot remember the setup.
"A mime is a terrible thing to waste."
I know it was used in
Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but I seem to remember that it was a punchline in a terrible joke.
Speaking of that movie, there was an oldish TV show, very short lived, that was absolutely hilarious.
When Things Were Rotten (1975) was filled with sight gags and terrible/wonderful puns. "The wall have ears" would reveal a wall covered with human ears. "Put that man in his place" would result in the Prince's guards pounding a peasant into the ground with huge sledges. And a sign something like:
Welcome to Sherwood Forest
No picnicking
No parades
No parties
No poaching
No panhandling
No piracy
No polo
No preaching
No something else
And that's only the P's
And of course, Misty Rowe as Maid Marian.
