This is an insanely hilarious video of an actual broadcasted version of a European children’s TV show called “Rainbow.” I personally don’t know about the show, but here’s what it says in the site:
For those of you who don’t have kids or are far too young to remember the splendid children’s TV programme “Rainbow”, this may be a little lost on you… but it must have been a great episode to watch! Almost too ridiculous to believe… These are taken from original Rainbow scripts and there’s no way these could have been done by accident. Innuendo all the way….
The accents are obviously british, and since the video’s audio quality isn’t quite “pristine,” its not easily understood unless you’re used to their way of speaking. They’ve transcribed the script… but of course since the video was on the same page, it was impossible to read and view at the same time.
I’ve pasted the dialog below, which you can read while viewing the video on a separate browser window.The sketch opens with Zippy peeling a banana…
Zippy: “One skin, two skin, three skin, four…. “
George: “Zippy, where is Bungle?”
Zippy: “I think Geoffrey is trying to get him up”
We see a view of the door and hear Bungle moaning from behind it.
Bungle: “I can’t get it in Geoffrey!”
Geoffrey: “You managed it last night Bungles”
Bungle: “Yes I know! Well, let’s try it the other way around. Ooooooh, Geoffrey – have you got one? I’ve got it in!”
Bungle and Geoffrey enter the studio with Bungle carrying a hammer and peg kit
Geoffrey (to camera): “Oh Hello, we’re going to talk about ‘playing’ today”
Bungle: “Playing with each other, Geoffrey?”
Geoffrey: “Yes Bungle. (then to camera) So, have you got a special friend you like to play with?”
George: “Oh Geoffrey, yesterday we played with our balls didn’t we? Are we going to play with our friend’s balls today?”
Bungle: “Yes, and we can play with our twangers as well.”
Geoffrey (to camera): Have you seen Bungles twanger?
Zippy: “Oh I have, I showed him how to pluck with it.”
Bungle: “Yes! and my plucking instrument.”
Geoffrey (to camera): “Can you pluck like Bungle?”
Zippy: “I can, I’m the best plucker here.”
Geoffrey: “Let’s get back to Bungle’s twanger.”
Bungle (excited): “Oooooh Geoffrey, we could all paint our twangers couldn’t we?”
Geoffrey: “Well not now Bungle, it’s nearly time for us all to go.”
Bungle: Well, then lets just sing. not sure about this line as it wasn’t included the script
George: “I know! Let’s sing that plucking song again.”
Bungle: “Oh yes! I know that Rod and Roger can get their instruments out and Jane has got two lovely Maracas.”
Geoffrey: Oh, what a smashing idea!
Singers Rod, Roger and Jane enter as the rest call on them.
Rod: “Hello, We could hear you all banging away.”
Roger: “Banging can be fun.”
Jane: “Yes, and I was banging away all last night with Rod and Roger.”
Roger (looking sad): “Yes, but it broke my plucking instrument.”
Geoffrey: “Aw, never mind Roger. So we’re all going to sing the plucking song, come on everybody get your instruments out.”
Rod (to Jane): “Do you want to blow on my pipe while I’m twanging away?”
Jane: “Oh no Rod, I was blowing a lot with Roger last night. But would you like to play with my maracas?”
Zippy: “No, let’s just pluck away with our twangers.”
Bungle: “Yes, it doesn’t matter what size your twanger is.”
Zippy: “I’ve got a big red one.”
George: “I’ve only got a tiny twanger. But it works well and I like to play with it.”
Geoffrey (to viewers): “Well, have you got your twangers out? And remember, you can bounce your balls at the same time if you like. Or, if you haven’t got any balls, you can ask a friend if you can play with his. Right, come on then let’s all sing the plucking song.”
Zippy: “Right, are we all ready? One, two, three, pluck…”
Everyone in studio: “Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we’re going to pluck all day today. Pluck, pluck, pluck away, we’re going to pluck all day.”
Geoffrey (to viewers): “It’s time for us all to go now, but don’t forget to get your twangers out and play with your balls. See you soon. Bye.”
