O'Liely: British Intelligence M-ONE-SIX

[Catch22Dem]

He actually said M-ONE-SIX instead of MI6. No cue cards where he could have misread, he just came prepared with that zinger. What a fuckin' marooooon!

[FatDave]

1. I thought the exact same thing

And I mean, I'm just a schlub, not some fancy-pants reporter (using the term loosely). And here I am going M16? Isn't that MI6?

People take this guy seriously? The mind boggles.

[Bombtrack]

2. I learned this shit from Goldeneye on N64 n/t

[sakabatou]

3. Man, that game was crap...

[Bombtrack]

8. Are you kidding me?

That is the most re-god-damn-diclous statement I've heard all day.

Are you from the bizzarro universe?

I'm not a gamer, not since the Goldeneye era anyway. But back then it was THE game for group play.

[sakabatou]

11. Oh, well, I rest my case

Being that I only played solo... I never got used to the controls either.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Didn't catch the show ...

... did O'Reilly say that M-one-six is really HUGH11111?

Just wonderin' if they ALL speak Freepereeze ...

[CPschem]

5. I saw that too

what. a. moron. seriously- what a fool. I'm shaking my head over here.

6. Bill, Meet James Bond

aka: Agent Zero-Zero-Seven.

[sleipnir]

7. You don't know what you're talking about. It's also C-ONE-A!!!

Not that silly C-I-A. No, it's a damn Roman Numeral. Just like our Roman Friends, who are allies on the War on Terror...wait...they've called for the arrest of dozens of C-ONE-A agents? The Romans are traitors to freedom!!!

[Wilms]

9. How people can watch that guy and F Zero X News, I'll never know. n/t

[oioioi]

10. ID-Ten-T

[Spider Jerusalem]

12. Obviously not very bright.

Military Intelligence, department six...no "one" in there. And he calls himself a journalist...he DOES sound like a typical Republican, though. "Ah, they're foreigners...who cares, anyway?"

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. I knew it was MI-6 from a Monty Python sketch

"Mr. Neutron," Episode 44:



First Eskimo: No, the only Teddy Salad we know is a CIA man.

Carpenter: Oh, he... he might know.

Eskimos: (chanting) Gunga gunga, where's our fish?

Carpenter: Where will I find him?

Second Eskimo: Oh, he lives up at Kipper Sound.

Carpenter: Thanks a lot.

Eskimos: Fishy fishy iyoooiyooo.

First Eskimo: Are you in international spying, too?

Carpenter: No, no. I'm with the... U.S. Ballet... force. Who are you with?

First Eskimo: (leans forward confidentialy) MI6. But not a word to the Eskimos.

14. "You want Teddy Salad?"

Trapper: The one on the end, on the right. That's Salad.

Carpenter: That's a dog!

Trapper: (confidentially) No, only bits of it.

Carpenter: What do you mean?

Trapper: Listen, Teddy Salad is the most brilliant agent the CIA ever had, right?

Carpenter: Right.

Trapper: That's how he made his name (indicates the dog) - disguise!

Carpenter: That's incredible!

Trapper: He had to slim down to one and a half pounds to get into that costume. He cut eighteen inches off each arm and over three feet off each leg. The most brilliant surgeon in Europe stuck that tail on.

Carpenter: What about the head?

Trapper: All of the head was removed apart from the eyes and the brain in order to fit into the costume.


(this is probably the only place i'll ever get the say this, but I think the last season of Python really had some great bits of insanity in it despite Cleese being gone and all. The atrocious American accents alone in the Teddy Salad bit were worth it!)
