I'm about the only person I know who dreams, along with the usual suspects of sex, violence, terror and general weirdness, in comedy. This morning I woke from this one.
The scene: In the street outside asecond hand shop where I, and a smnall crowd of people are being monsterted, threatened by the very large proprietor of said shop.
Up comes the local super hero, on a harley which he threads throiugh the corwd and stops in front of the shop. He dismounts in a less than gainly fashion, possibly because, in addition to wearing the traditional skin-tight latex outfit (canary yellow with red trim I think) he is, to put it mildly, portly. Pudgy also comes to mind, especially arou7nd the face, blond, short cropped hair, no mask.
Superhero proceeds to confront the shopowner who begins to retreat into his shop, stuymbling and tripping over the merchandise as he reverses before Supe who now begins flailing at the bad guy with his superhero weapon; a large, empty, brown sock.
There may have been some business with the sock and a coat rack, but I wouldn't bet that it wasn't inserted by the director after waking up.
The shop-owner eventually falls into a heap among his merchandise from where he screams invective at the Superhero, the last item of which is, "I could pay for you out of Milligans old leg and still have more at the end of the week even if I didn't sell a thing!"
I can see the derivation from series like beachcomber, with Spike putting in an appearance via his disembodied leg, and the superhero owes a lot to Little Britain, especially Daffyd, but I'm damned if I know what its about. Its not the first time I've woken up sniggering so I've already had my fun, the bar is now open for analysis, interpretation, psychic readings and alternative comedreams.
