Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaApparent homages to famous comedy roles that John Cleese had performed in previous movies. In his duel with Dick, he cleverly reprises his role as The Black Knight from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)." And in the restaurant, after catching a buzzing fly and then dropping it onto Dick's meal, he reprises his phrasing and timing of the waiter's "Bon appetit" remark to Mr. Creosote in "The Meaning of Life (1983)."
- GoofsWhen Harry brings in Arthur, they get all excited and start playing the movie, but it can be seen that the VCR is not hooked up to the TV by any wires.
- Quotes
Dr. Dick Solomon: I will now dispatch my foe with an elegant haiku.
[Dick is shown surreptitiously, quickly counting with his fingers]
Dr. Liam Neesam: [interrupting Dick's count] Five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.
Dr. Dick Solomon: I know that!
Dr. Dick Solomon: [disgusted, yet in haiku format] I'm so sick of you. You think you know everything. Will you stop it? Please
Dr. Liam Neesam: Well, yes. That is *technically* a haiku, but it's a rather pedestrian one. Isn't it?
Dr. Dick Solomon: No. No - That was an accidental haiku!
Dr. Liam Neesam: What?
Dr. Dick Solomon: I-I-I want another turn!
- Crazy creditsIn the original broadcast, Maurice Godin was credited for John Cleese's role of Dr.,Liam Neesam. This has been corrected in re-airings and home video.
