Valiant ute in spirit What if the Chrysler Concorde was a ute?
Lou and Andy I find this original Rock Profile sketch, with David Walliams and Matt Lucas as Lou Reed and Andy Warhol, funnier than the Lou Todd and Andy Pipkin ones that evolved from it. The fact that Andy Warhol speaks with a Scouse accent is hilarious. You can also see why Walliams and Lucas found it funny enough to build on.

I was asked to do that picture, but I was committed. I had too many things to do already, which was maybe too bad. Because of the nostalgia element, it might have been fun to return to the series. But I actually thought that I'd done enough of that—that was the past, just too many years had gone by and the theme wasn’t right anymore. Also, I didn’t think the movie was going anywhere at all. So they asked me who I would recommend. I’d recently heard an Eric Serra score, a synthesized score, but a very attractive score, and I suggested that maybe this might be a new way to go for the contemporary and image. When I finally saw the movie, nothing worked. I was confused. I truly don’t know what happened. It should have worked, I believed that the idea was a good new direction for Bond. But he didn’t do anything close to what I had heard in his earlier score, the score that prompted me to make my recommendation in the first place. He just went off on another tangent.

Best ending ever From Family Guy’s second season, in the episode ‘Da Boom’:
