Benny Hill

....is showing on BBC America right now. My God, I swear I haven't watched this since I was about thirteen. And then I swear all I saw was boobs. But now....I was just sat there pissing my pants. It's so un-pc it's awesome. But I strangely found myself realising that it ( and I'm being deadly serious here ) had remarkable depth. In a spoof Starsky and Hutch sketch, he shoots the ugly woman dead, under the mistaken misconception/assumption that she was the evil kidnapper, and the hot girl was the maiden in distress. Of course, the inverse was the case, and the outcome was hilarious. But it also had an awful lot to say about our perception of more attractive people in this world and how they get away with ( literally ) murder. So deep! And boobies too! The guy was a sex obsessed genius. Discuss!

his biography was on tv not so long ago here in the UK.

basic jist of it was that he loved the show, got paid fortune which he never spent, the show was cancelled, he slumped into depression and died. His millions are still floating about in a back account somewhere.

Trhey used to show it here in the By Area after the 10 O'Clock News on KTVU Channel 2, and we watched a lot.

Apparently he loved doing the show as it was his therapy. Now i wish I had cable, because I miss the show. His comedic Sketch in 15 minutes, taught me more about the english Civil War, than a lot of articles in Militaria Magazine. he got the "Theme" and the issues, down pat, and then built gags on that. sex obsessed Genius it is. I remember being sad when i heard he died.

Although I was only briefly exposed as a child, decades later I still can't get the boobies and the theme music out of my head.

the theme music RULED. God bless Benny Hill. Watching him latenights on weekends during adolescence is a great memory for me.

Heh...I bought the theme song off iTunes not long ago. I used to love Benny Hill. Still do, I suppose, I just never catch it when they run reruns.

The song is 'Yakity saks' I think.

I love to see a game ending cutsceen where everyone -monsters,guards main char. and some tart run around Benny Hill Show style. Just sillyness to end an intense fighting game.
