Was he decapitated by a rabbit with long, pointy teeth and a vicious steak a mile wide?

You may be thinking of Neil Innes.

Compère Yes, great, well now for the first lime on television 'Interesting People' brings you a man who claims he can send bricks to sleep by hypnosis. Mr Keith Maniac from Guatemala.

Maniac Good evening.

Compère Keith, you claim you can send bricks to sleep.

Maniac Yes, that is correct, I can...

Compère Entirely by hypnosis.

Maniac Yes ... I use no artificial means, whatsoever. (leans and picks matchbox off desk to light pipe, opens it and strikes match)

Voice (from matchbox) Aaagh!

Dove You've injured Mr Stools!

Maniac (picks up other box and lights pipe) I simply stare at the brick and it goes to sleep.

Compère Well, we have a brick here, Keith. (indicates brick on desk) Perhaps you can send it to sleep for us...

Maniac Oh ... Ah, well, I am afraid that is already asleep.

Compère How do you know?

Maniac Well, it's not moving ....

Compère Oh, I see - have we got a moving brick? Yes, we've got a moving brick, Keith, it's coming over now.



Maniac There we are, fast asleep.

Compère Very good, very good indeed.

Maniac All done with the eyes.

Compère Yes, Mr Keith Maniac from Guatemala.

Most of the Pythons lean left but they do have the occasional sane opinion. Jones was a typical lefty. The pythons were an acquired taste and I did find them funny.
