The Swedish Chef

So I'm stuck in the office waiting for it to turn 8. And, since I'm soooo good at wasting time, I'm watching videos on YouTube. Or, to be more specific, videos of the Swedish Chef from the Muppet Show.

I truly love this guy! The most destructive chef on the planet!

Here're a couple of my fave sketches from him.

Opening The Coconut

He just can't figure out how to open the damn thing. Actually, he can't figure out which side's the 'top' and which side's the 'bottom. So, screw that. It's time to get down to work. The knife just ain't working. Ah! A saw (sawzen)... a lil effort before he realizes just how much of a waste of time that is. And then... he decides to 'Klobber' it. I almost fell off my chair, laughing!

He whacks it hard and what do you know?? It opens... and there's a bomb in it! And boom!

I do have to admit that the end was kind of a disappointment. I would have preferred him using the gun to open it. But that's just my violent tendencies surfacing.

Chicky In The Basket

Most sane people think chicken in a normal basket. The Swedish chef thinks chicken through a basketball hoop.

I love it when he shows us the 'chicky' and the 'basket.' The terrified chicken takes off running. The chef goes after him, grabs him, dribbles and scores!!!!!

'Two Points!'

Chocolate Mousse

Now, that's just an obvious one but still no less hilarious!!

He pours the chocolate in a nice yellow bowl... Yum, yum, yum :D and oh yeah, Gud gud! The guy speaking just had me rolling on the floor!

And then, comes...Moose, Moose!

So, the next step in this very easy recipe is 'the chocolat ona the Moose' And spread it evenly over his nose.

The look of surprise on the moose's face is brilliant. :)

Making Eggs

This one has to be my favourite. Eggs from the chicken.

The chicken makes a nice lil racket. And the chef moves the chicky around and gets a small round white object. Kinda lite and small... and it bounces! A peenga pong ball!

He whacks the chicken and demands an egg. The chicken seems to make a determined effort and winds up with...2 peenga ponga balls!

So, screw eggs! Let's have a chicky instead! The extremely startled chicken takes off running, stopping only to see the berserk chef strum a lil tune on his frying pan.

I could not stop laughing at this one! The chicken trying to get away with ping pong balls, the frustration of the chef and the madcap chase at the end made this a brilliant classic.

Admittedly, not the most serious watching. But something so crazy is guaranteed to elicit a few smiles...and, in my case...loud laughter!

Still wondering though, did that chef ever get around to cooking anything?
