DANNY KAYE in THE COURT JESTER – The Pellet with the Poison
Logline: When it seems Danny Kaye’s character is in plenty trouble as it is with trying to remember which chalice contains the deadly poison and facing an insurmountable opponent, his suit of armor is struck by lightning and rendered magnetic.
Credits: The Court Jester was written and directed by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama. It stars Danny Kaye, Glynis Johns, Basil Rathbone and Angela Lansbury.
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: Even though this film was released in 1956, the comedy travels well into the 21st century.
What do you do if a crack-crazed mugger ambushes you in an alley? How about if your mugger is asleep in his own bed or prisoner in your car trunk? Two simple solutions: wrist control and gun.

Bret and Jemaine are back and finally so is Flight of the Conchords (US Only – sorry, Kraplakistan)
Credits: Bret McKenzie starring as himself, Jemaine Clement starring as himself, Rhys Darby as Murray (the agent), Kristen Schaal as Mel, Arj Barker as Dave.
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: My husband Robert is a New Zealander and a DVD of Flight of the Conchords’ first season was on his Christmas wish list. I haven’t seen the Conchords until today and had to put it on FunnyFixx.com, even though it’s much longer than the usual FunnyFixx funny video. Don’t you love the Kiwi accent?
This episode reminds me of Hollywood literary agents I’ve had the misfortune to know. And where can I buy some of that Femident toothpaste? If you can afford premium TV cable channels, you can catch Flight of the Conchords Season 2 on HBO. It premieres December 22, 2008.

FUNNYFIXX NOTE: Another of my favs from Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975). Always be on alarm for wolves in rabbit’s clothing.
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: After editing our second webisode together with the three points of view, we’re seeing that the stories the characters tell is actually funnier when we can see them together. We still like the individual character sessions from the original webisodes, but this is a good way to revisit the stories. What do you think?
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: A tribute to the thousands who got up off the sofa and waited in lines through sleet, snow and heatwaves for their chance at the golden ticket to Hollywood.
A nasty Frenchman halts King Arthur and his Knights of the Roundtable’s search for the Holy Grail.
Credits: Directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. Written by and starring: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin.
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: This scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a film released in 1975, reminds us all to never give up and always look on the silly side of life!
John Clarke and Bryan Dawe are radio and TV stars from Melbourne, Australia. This video dated 21/08/08 is their brilliant take on the current credit crisis.
FUNNYFIXX NOTE: A “representative” with one of the big investments ratings agencies in Australia points his finger at the “other guys” at his agency for the current credit crisis. All he did was drive the car!
