Shi-N-N: The Urinal Sketch

Okay, so thanks to Karma and May, I had the extraordinary luck to meet and spend time with the cast and crew of the wildly popular TV program Shi-N-N (yes, Shi-N-N as in CNN, only with shi, which means 'something' in Arabic). These guys are the Lebanese version of Jon Stewart, only at much higher stakes, since they satirize the same sectarian differences that have kept Lebanon in one form of war or another since 1975. They are pointing humor where others are pointing guns.

They're also very much an ensemble effort, and their humor has more than a little Monty Python. In fact, it has a LOT of Monty Python! The sketch I'm posting below is as good, in my mind, as anything Python ever did - and I love Monty Python! Maybe it's better....

Just one word of warning: I love Monty Python. IOW, I love broad, semi-scatalogical and off-color humor. I even loved Benny Hill - sorry to those of you who found him unbearably sexist! Sorry! As we say here: hada al hayat....that's life!

Anyway, if you frown at references to excretory functions, do not click on this video!
