Danny Spudge is Ricky Grover, I first saw him at a comedy club in Southend 20 odd years ago, his first joke was: (acting 'all puffed out') "I nearly didn't make on stage tonight, They've got a step and everything!" He Slayed all night! 🤣 Tim Vine performed the week after. And annihilated everyone. You literally couldn't breathe for laughing so hard. He has perfect timing. 😊

There was brilliant British Illustrator/ Cartoonist around the end of the 19th century called William Heath Robinson who drew humorous complex contraptions and ingenious devices. His name has gone into the lexicon for anything like the 'jerry rigged' automatic toast delivery system. In the 80's there was a wonderful tv show with professor Hienz wolff called 'The great egg race' where teams raced to make ingenious devices out of every day bits and bobs. Wallace and Gromit kept up that tradition. Possibly as British a thing as possible.

There is a joke you missed. Gus asks one of his men to bring him some Turkish Delight. It is a callback to another job the actor had back in the 80s. The BBC made a famous TV adaptation of The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (it is excellent, you should give it a watch). The actor playing Gus played the dwarf servant of the White Witch, who gives Turkish Delight to Edmund, one of the heros in the story.

In the UK we call those contraptions 'Heath Robinson' Something is Heath Robinson (look up the cartoons on Google) its a mashed together knockup to often achieve an overly complicated aim. I was thinking more of Wallace and Grommet tbh when I saw it but BTTF is also good. :) There was a Game called MouseTrap popular in the early 80s along similar lines. I think all the copies after Heaths (who was the first to satire machinery) cartoons even Willy Wonka (Roald Dhal) copied Heath.

Ice-cream guy: Would you like sauce or syrup with that? Customer: What sauce have you got? Ice-cream guy (with a cheeky grin on his face) We have this new, special “homemade” sauce. Extra thick, slight aftertaste but I highly recommend it. It’s free. No charge. Customer: Oh, go on then. Ice-cream guy: Coming (pardon the pun) right up!!
