Fanky Malloon kind of reminds me of Steve Martin’s character from the movie Parenthood. He’s pretending to be Cowboy Gil to save his son’s birthday when a stripper shows up instead of the cowboy clown that was ordered. He tries balloon animals, makes a big old mess with them, and declares the creation to be, “Your Lower Intestine!!!”
