If you ever wondered how a slew of celebrities, from Charles Dickens
and Albert Einstein to Tom Cruise and Britney Spears would look like
with rats on their heads, you're in luck.

Click on a page number. ;)

Although, I wonder if they shouldn't be reported to the ASPCA for
cruelty to the rat, putting the poor thing on some of those heads. :P

Damn, if anyone could look good with a rat on his head, though, it's
Ralph Fiennes.  Oh baby!

I thought Donald Trump already had a rat on his head? Or is it a rat's nest?

>I thought Donald Trump already had a rat on his head? Or is it a rat's nest?

I thought it was a dead tribble.

[Seriously, a friend of mine actually owns a tribble. When she showed
it to me, my immediate reaction was "what are you doing with Donald
Trump's toupee?" You'd think a guy that rich could afford a halfway
decent rug. :-)]

OK, bad joke time.  Britney Spears goes to the doctor with a rat on
her head.  The doc says "Good Lord, how long have you had that thing?"
The rat says, "I dunno, it just started out as a little wart on my
butt."

Dunno about Ralph, but that website is perfect for two of my kids. One
of them has rats, the other has had rats, and both now have the link
for "You Have a Rat on Your Head. Oh, and as a kid I had rats too so
I've bookmarked it for myself, all thanks to you!

Is this some sort of new American humour that we Brits haven't caught on to

If it is this "yank" doesn't get it either - but then I like British humor
better than American, to me it tends to more "wit" than "slapstick" (and
even the slapstick of say Monty Python is still wittier than the Three
Stooges).

LOL! I never thought of Bridish humor as more sophisticated, just different.
But then, don't ask me, I *like* slapstick and I ain't afraid to admit it! :)

Oh no - not your friend's Dad too!  My Mum has been doing that for
years.  Almost every time we take her in the car she will say it at
least once, and then giggle like it's the first time.  Grating hardly
begins to touch it!

Sounds like Benny Hill to me.  Don't know whether he was typical, but
he was British.

To our shame.  He was dreadful.  Not typical at all.

Ditto. For one thing, he wisely gave Jane Leeves ("Daphne" on Frasier)
a job, and she says she adored him too.

So do I, but Benny Hill isn't typical "anything."  But then I tend to
smell burning leaves/wood/whatever, and say "hmm, something's burning,
and it isn't love."

I just don't *get* the rat on the head either.  I can't see anything funny
in it at all.  Maybe I need a humour implant.
I'm not a slapstick fan at all, but Monty Python was a bit different.  Who
will ever forget the dead parrot taken back to the petshop?  For those who
haven't seen this sketch, a chap takes a parrot back (it's dead, and was
dead when he bought it)   Pet shop owner does his best to persuade customer
that it isn't dead at all.  Customer finally loses his patience  "Look, this
is an EX PARROT"  You have to see it to appreciate it.   You could say "this
is an ex-parrot" to anyone in Britain and they'd know exactly what you meant
and where it came from.

I *LOVED* that skit.  I also loved "Life of Brian", "...The Holy Grail", and
anything John Cleese is in.  (I still watch reruns of Fawlty Towers -
speaking of me, my DH uses that famous line, "She can draw blood with her
tongue at thirty paces."  Sybil was just too hilarious!)

When John Cleese was on Desert Island Discs (an English radio
program), back in the eighties, he also asked for a papier-mache
replica of Margaret Thatcher and a basball bat.

We should elect him God.

Here too.
But what is the difference between selling a dead parrot and a rat on
someone's head, e.g., a rat photoshopped onto a lot of pictures of
celebrity's heads?  They are both absurd.

Personally, my favorite Monty Python is the one with the Pope [John

Michelangelo's version of the Last Supper. :-)
