If you’ve never seen any of his bits, some of his funniest include this one from Life of Brian (CW: Offensive, blasphemous):
Here’s the audio for Crunchy Frog (He’s the Candy Bigwig (CW: Offensive)):
He was the writer and director of the exceptionally offensive Erik the Viking and co-director of the exceptionally offensive Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, and Quest for the Holy Grail.
A comedic giant. We were privileged to have him.Report
