Now and Then

My corduroy knight, my middle class hero, strikes again. I have to be honest, the more I read everyday newspapers and the more I watch anything touched by the satirical Midas that is Chris Morris (Three Lions - HOW excited?!) the more painfully middle class The Now Show truly feels. However between the in-jokes and the slightly shaky impressions is the occasional moment of shining brilliance and this definitely is one:

Marcus Brigstocke's Dr Seuss Copenhagen
Dr. Seuss’s Copenhagen by Marcus Brigstocke on Huffduffer

As another pointless but hilarious tangent, here are some of the performers of the Springfield Jazz Festival, which occurs in the Simpsons episode 'Jazzy and the Pussycats' (I'm not out-punned yet, Groening):
- Gooey Martin
- Willie Mimms
- Drop-Jaws Turner
- Sketch Friendly
- Tootsie Childs
- Sammy Builtmore
- No-Talent Jones
- Anwar Benitez
- Bossy Marmalade
- Bad-Check Mazurski
- Ray-Ray Takamura
- Shakey Premise
- Bootsy Crouton
- Richard Sakai
- The Pre-Marital Sextet
- CSI Miami
- D.W. Jitters
- The Chubb Group
- Cantaloupe St. Pierre

My favourites are definitely Shakey Premise, which appeals to the philosopher in me, I suppose, and CSI Miami. Which appeals to the CSI fan in me, obviously.
