I have the feeling that Hammie comes to rehearsal and does what’s written, but then does something totally different, and much better, when the cameras are rolling. Like Tim Conway on The Carol Burnett Show.
I’ll leave it for someone else to quote from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
ARTHUR: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water signifying by Divine Providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I am your king!
DENNIS: Listen — strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
ARTHUR: Be quiet!
DENNIS: Well you can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
ARTHUR: Shut up!
DENNIS: I mean, if I went around sayin’ I was an emperor just because some moistened bink had lobbed a scimitar at me they’d put me away!

Is that the “Squirrel of the Lake”, or a particularly well-endowed Dalek??

WOMAN: Well, ’ow did you become king then?

Hammy’s sword needs a little work. But this is very funny!

With Hammy holding a plunger, I thought that there had been a clog in the little boy’s bush.

This has been a very weird arc, and for OTH that’s saying something, but I’ve laughed at almost every one.

Not sure whether to laugh or break out the brain bleach here.
Aw, heck—I’ll do both! Panel 2 was definitely … memorable.

But wasn’t Arthur made King because he pulled a sword out of a stone?
