Another parrot sketch

Here's a parrot sketch featuring Rowan Atkinson, from the Not the Nine O'Clock News show:



Note that the headmaster is played by Mel Smith, who, incidentally, directed Bean.

Hitler's car

I wanted to show you a very funny scene from this relatively unknown movie called Rat Race, which stars Rowan Atkinson, Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Lovitz, Seth Green, John Cleese and Wayne Knight, among others. In order to contextualise the video, please read this summary of the Pear family, retrieved on Wikipedia:

Randy Pear (Jon Lovitz) is on a family vacation with his wife, Bev (Kathy Najimy), son, Jason (Brody Smith), and daughter, Kimberly (Jillian Marie Hubert). Desperate to get rich so he doesn't have to work at Home Depot any more, he joins the race without telling Bev or his children why they are rushing from Las Vegas. He instead informs them that he has a job interview in Silver City for filling ink pens. He is so desperate to get there that he does not stop to allow the kids to go to the toilet, having Kimmie excrete out the window, where it hits a police car. The daughter then spots a sign saying "Barbie Museum", and Bev insists that they have to stop and give the kids a break. Randy reluctantly agrees. The barbie museum turns out to not be about the doll, however, and instead a shrine to the Nazi Klaus Barbie run by neo-nazis. The Pear Family, who is Jewish, flees in terror, only to find their car has been sabotaged by the Cody Brothers. So Randy steals nothing less than Adolf Hitler's car from the museum and they drive that.

"Are you insane? This is Hitler's car!"

I found an extended version of the scene, but it's in German. Notice that Mr. Pear curses German cars…

"We have to attend a bookburning…"

Now let's make fun of evil Hitler: someone took one of the scenes from Der Untergang and put fake humorous subtitles on it…
