Grilled Cheese

Postby Graham » 02 Sep 2005, 16:58

So, another comic experiment this week; we thought we'd try a monologue. I quite like this character now, and his wonderous story.

You like?

I love it...

I kept waiting for:

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere - like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. 'Give me five bees for a quarter,' you'd say.

Now where were we? Oh yeah - the important thing was I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones..."

Anyways, I digress... loved it, look forward to more from this fellow :)

Question... was he ever the King of Kafiristan? (sorry movie reference... points to whoever gets it)

I liked it, you need some dry humor now and then to remind you that your mind is still working. I too was expecting something extreme though. I kept saying to myself, "When is he going to be shot?" I'd say the experiment was pretty successful.

Ah, yes; high comedy.
Intelligent if not vaguely condescending dialogue juxtaposed with the mundain, dare I say vulgar, theme of a grilled cheese sandwich.

I belive it was Moliere, the great french humourist of the 17th century, who first said, "Irony is best served between two pieces of bread in a frying pan."

Bravo, gentlemen. :D

Ironic (Am I using it the right way Andrew?) in that after all the talk about the great grilled cheese it comes out a bit well done. I guess the secret is a really hot pan to cook it in a few seconds. Good grilled cheese in made on white bread with only cheddar cheese and margarine. It is toasted till golden … a dark brown is too far. Serve with pickle.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too.

"Does she have a grave?" asked Coraline.

"Oh yes," said the other mother. "I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back."

Ditto, but now I'm curious, so I must try it.

Also, props on the vid. I'm hollering back at you as we speak, in fact.

Oh, I should have said this the first time I posted:

I REALLY enjoyed the writing in this one; delightfully subtle and chock full of clever little twists of phrase, "...outbreak of existentialism."

Very well done!

lol, Yeah it actually took me two viewing before I noticed that "Outbreak of Existentialism", laughed myself silly when I heard it...

I think one of the best things is just that the whole thing is straight faced. and the lobbing a grapefruit from halfway up the Eiffel Tower... excellent writing.

Do so.
A sandwich just isn't a sandwich without the tangy zip of Miracle Whip™

But seriously, Miracle Whip+grilled cheese=so good!

Ketchup + Grilled Cheese = very good

Gravy + Grilled Cheese = even better

Gravy + French Fries + Grilled Cheese = ultimate combination

Also, thanks for all the good responses. We really like all the strange phrases and odd terms too.
I think my favourite is the quick reference to strip jai alai.

Which would hurt.

I just noticed something... "We always love to have them..." We? So When are we gonna meet Mrs. Stories? I can just imagine a story of how they met at the base of Everest or something.

And Miracle Whip I can see... it was Mayo I was offended by

Grilled cheese with Mayo and cheese on the inside, and butter on the outside, grilled in a frying pan=God.

After you all finished filming that I went downstairs because I wanted a grilled cheese, only to find that you had used all the bread making that sandwich.


You filthy bastards.

i was also waiting for something to happen at the end. but i think it did. remember when he concisely finished the story about forgetting his wallet and it was totally out of character? that was the definition of a punchline.

He reminded me of a lesser character from a Tin Tin comic (not a specific character, just in general he seemed Herge-esque)... also Marcus Brody from Indiana Jones.
I'd definitely like to see more from him. I think it would be cool if he went on adventures that were way more interesting than the stories he tells, but that they kind of went over his head because he is far more interested in trifling incidental details. (i.e.: the gardening bookstore opened by the hooligans rather than his awesome fight with them involving rapiers and bullwhips)(which is what happened - read between the lines).
