The conversation emphasizes the integral role of everyday experiences in shaping comedic narratives and observations regarding human peculiarities.
Well, literally Massive Head Wound Harry, wasn't there actually a piece of meat? So a guy comes into a party and he has a massive bleeding head wound, and then they wrote a beat for a dog to come and lick the open head wound.
Meat is a big part of life. We are all frankly made of meat. So it's no surprise it would find its way into sketch comedy.
People seem to have, and I do know which fork to use at a dinner now, and I know which glass is mine.
And so that's the root of sketch too, is us toying around with human behavior and what's peculiar about it or these strange things we sort of accept.
