I’ve been watching “Father of the Pride”. This is a show done by the folks that made Shrek.
It’s a family sit com about what it’s like to be a family. Only this is a family of lions where the dad’s job is to be part of Sigfried and Roy’s Act at the Mirage.
This show has some of the most devious and underhanded humour I have heard in a long time. It gives Whedon a run for it’s money.
This week, the elder daughter was being interviewed for admission to a school for gifted and talented..er… lions.
At one point she looks at the interviewer and says:
“Oh, and my senior term paper was on the role lions played in early Christianity.”
It took me a moment. Then I had to pause the show while Heather and I had to take about 5 minutes to stop laughing convulsively about what was just said.
« MEMETIME: SORTA…Kinda cool, from wikipedia… Metapost: You have been warned… »
Ha! I hadn’t caught that. My wife and I are really liking this show, too. Especially how silly and eccentric Sigfrey and Roy are portrayed.
Trivia bit: The grandfather lion’s name, Sarmoti, stands for Sigrey And Roy: Masters Of The Impossible
I saw the show as well and laughed my ass off the whole half hour. And yes…that line had james and I laughing for a full ten minutes.
But Siegfreid and Roy at the 7-11……tooo funny.
I am def. hooked on this show and hope it keeps up the pace it has set for itself.
hmm… pausing the T-vo, sounds like you might have had some nip in there. heh.
I’m amused and I didn’t even see it.
Perhaps I should make an attempt to catch an episode of this show cause that just might be one of the greatest lines ever.
Wow!
That’s a good one…and not what I would have expected from that show. You’ve inspired me to check it out.
