    French and Saunders

    I just picked up a stack of French and Saunders DVD's from a book sale for $1 each and I just watched one titled "Living In a Material World". They had a couple of parody sketches on Bravehart where French was William Wallace and Saunders was Rob Roy.

    I had never heard of this team before except that Dawn French was the Vicar of Dibbley, and this had me rolling on the floor in hysterics.

    They are both very funny and very prolific comediennes most recently as the ladies downstairs in Coraline.

    lol, I loved when they all started singing this song. Somehow, it just wasn't the same.

    Jennifer Saunders was also freaking hilarious along with Joanna Lumley on Absolutely Fabulous.

    I didn't find it that funny myself, Dawn French seems much better on her own.
