Comedy 365: We ask the tough questions

Comedy 365, Chickenflaps 7

Date: October 15, 2007

Full episode: Comedy 365 — Chickenflaps, Episode 7

Summary: On this “buttocks-clenching edition” of Chickenflaps, Rosie Koonunga-Hill “serves up some food-related funnies and lavatorial laughs,” which naturally include a spin of my old standby, Her Shit Don’t Stink.

Now, Chickenflaps is a sometime feature on the Comedy 365 podcast, which (according to Comedy 365) is “one of iTunes’ most downloaded independent podcasts” and is “produced in the U.K. by Sowerby & Luff.

S&L, in turn, are a noted comedy team who ask such riotous questions as, “Should pandas bleach their black bits to try and get a mercy shag off a polar bear?”

Sowerby & Luff produce a weekly podcast, too. Best I can figure, they’re building a British comedy podcast empire.

Why a dead penguin?

I think I’ve figured out the key to this particular form of British comedy. Mostly, we listeners find ourselves asking, Why?

Why does Rosie Koonunga-Hill keep repeating, “Chickenflaps, chickenflaps?” Why do Sowerby & Luff shout in unison, “Dead penguin!”

The answer, of course, is Why not?

Officially, I find British comedy podcasters who play my songs all very charming.

Unofficially, I have no idea what most of them are talking about!

Chickenflaps!  (0:38).

   They played our song on a recent Chickenflaps, too.

   Clearly, they have uncompromised taste.

   Too bad there’s no closed captioning for podcast or some kind of slang translation.

   Chickenflaps is a great show and everyone should give it a listen.
