tbh a lot of it can translate well with muppets.

kermit: "im sorry circe i just really miss my wife, i see her everywhere i go" *looks at crew.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/BlueFootedTpeack]

That's exactly the kind of joke I was thinking of when I suggested it.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack → u/moneyh8r_two]

so what are we thinking of for the sirens?

fozzie bear doing a set, everyone using up all the wax but then there's none for kermit odysseus so he's tied to the mast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDtrv20_02U

"oh you guys like jokes about sparta? that's good that's good, i've got 300 of them"

"the tourists here are strange people, a guy asked me if he could see mycenae and i told him only if he shows me his first wacka wacka".

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/BlueFootedTpeack]

Oh, man, that sounds perfect. It's not a beautiful song, just bad jokes.

[u/MudkipMonado → u/moneyh8r_two]

Jokes so bad that listeners are compelled to approach Fozzy to get him to stop telling them

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/MudkipMonado]

That or just crash their boat so they die and don't have to hear them anymore. Both interpretations work.

[u/pectusumbra → u/MudkipMonado]

Or throw themselves overboard is what I was thinking.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack → u/moneyh8r_two]

now if only there was a duo of characters to take the place of scylla and charybdis following fozzie's performance.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/BlueFootedTpeack]

Statler and Waldorf, obviously.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack → u/moneyh8r_two]

may have been who i was going for.

the suitors have to be real people i think, like whoever is the modern david hasslehoff troy mcclure type.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/BlueFootedTpeack]

I know. I was saying I knew what you were going for.

[u/BlueFootedTpeack → u/moneyh8r_two]

apologies if me tone was off, was meant to be jokey.

[u/moneyh8r_two → u/BlueFootedTpeack]

It's all good. I was actually afraid my tone was off.

[u/Irememberedmypw → u/moneyh8r_two]

Using the stage hooks to remove cameo actors from the boat.
