# Sandbox.BlackComedyRape: Titi Fricoteur (get used to the name!) has at least a couple instances of this with one of the times being the titular character, a pre-teen boy, caught in drag spying on the washer women that they paddle him into each's behind to fuck them and there's like a dozen of them, mind you, before they dump him off back at his mentor's house.The second (or so) incident is when a strongwoman at a circus decides she'll have her way with him when he intended on the horse-riding women with him being so scrawny by comparison that it's a combination of Marshmallow Hell and being used like a human dildo though at least he eventually does get to hook up with the other two.

The "Job Interview" sketch had originally been written by Cleese as part of a 1968 American television special, How to Irritate People (also featuring Chapman and Palin); Cleese's 1948 co-star Tim Brooke-Taylor played Chapman's interviewee role. It's worth noting the same special also introduced us to the Pepperpots.

The "Job Interview" sketch had originally been written by Cleese as part of a 1968 American television special, How to Irritate People (also featuring Chapman and Palin); Cleese's 1948 co-star Tim Brooke-Taylor played Chapman's interviewee role. It's worth noting the same special also introduced us to the Pepperpots.

It being a cover of Rotten Heresy and Chocolate, a song which already had a bit of this going on, a calmer sounding remix no less, and this being about Abigail... While the original song was just about a really terrible Gossipy Hen, this cover is an elaboration on her backstory where she accuses people of witchcraft, starting mass hysteria and condemning innocent people to torture and terrible deaths for attention and because she thinks she really has powers to sense evil. A chained-up secret, who knows where it came from Come to the village square, watch it hanging!

# Sandbox.BlackComedyRape: Titi Fricoteur (get used to the name!) has at least a couple instances of this with one of the times being the titular character, a pre-teen boy, caught in drag spying on the washer women that they paddle him into each's behind to fuck them and there's like a dozen of them, mind you, before they dump him off back at his mentor's house.The second (or so) incident is when a strongwoman at a circus decides she'll have her way with him when he intended on the horse-riding women with him being so scrawny by comparison that it's a combination of Marshmallow Hell and being used like a human dildo though at least he eventually does get to hook up with the other two.

It being a cover of Rotten Heresy and Chocolate, a song which already had a bit of this going on, a calmer sounding remix no less, and this being about Abigail... While the original song was just about a really terrible Gossipy Hen, this cover is an elaboration on her backstory where she accuses people of witchcraft, starting mass hysteria and condemning innocent people to torture and terrible deaths for attention and because she thinks she really has powers to sense evil. A chained-up secret, who knows where it came from Come to the village square, watch it hanging!
