Interesting fact:

One of the most popular sketches by these hilarious comedians was the ‘Dead Parrot’ sketch, in which an exasperated customer debates a canny pet-shop owner about the state of his freshly purchased parrot. The famous rant goes as follows: "It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!"
