It's an *hilarious* reimagining of the x-men cast as portrayed by Carry On film regulars. Or something like that.

― Bees Against Racism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 14:01 (ten years ago) link
Oops I mean to say I know shitloads about Carry on and fuck all about X-Men!
guy at back flexing his muscles is called colossus, so yeah, bernie b is the obv choice for that character (wld also give him the chance to do a russian accent)

xpost aww i really like butterworth as the holiday camp owner in carry on camping. he also has an amazing life story:
Before his acting career started, Butterworth served as a lieutenant commander in the Royal Navy during the Second World War.[1] He was captured in the Netherlands in 1940 and later escaped through a tunnel from Dulag luft, near Frankfurt, in June 1941, where he covered 27 miles (43 km) over three days before a member of the Hitler Youth captured him. Afterwards he joked that he could never work with children again. Two other attempts to escape were made during his time there but he never got beyond the campgrounds.
Whilst at Stalag Luft III he met Talbot Rothwell, who later went on to write many of the Carry On films.[2] Rothwell and Butterworth formed a duet and sang in the camp shows, where booing and catcalls covered the sounds of an escape tunnel being dug by other prisoners. Butterworth was one of the vaulters covering for the escapers during the escape portrayed by the book and film The Wooden Horse. Butterworth later auditioned for the film in 1949 but "didn't look convincingly heroic or athletic enough" according to the makers of the film. To compensate for this the director Jack Lee, named the character played by Leo Genn "Peter", after Butterworth.
Having never performed in public before, Butterworth sang a duet with Rothwell, a song which Rothwell called "The Letter Edged In Black". The performance was followed by some comic repartee which, according to his own account, provoked enough boos and hisses to have the desired effect of drowning out the escape party. After the war, Butterworth kept a photo of the concert party line up, something which offered inspiration to him when starting a career in acting.[3]
Also within the same camp as Butterworth and Rothwell were the future actors Rupert Davies, and Stratford Johns and John Casson, who was the son of Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndyke.[4] All five remained very close friends after the war ended and they all appeared on This Is Your Life when Butterworth was featured in 1975

Looks more like Sylvester McCoy xp
― dschinghis kraan (NickB), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 14:15 (ten years ago) link
That is EXACTLY what I thought, I even GIS-ed around to see if i could find a picture of Sylveste McCoy with a bald head! It might be that it's supposed to be Kenneth Connor but the artist simply cannot draw Kenneth Connor, what are they teaching kids at art schools these days?
― Bees Against Racism (Tom D.), Wednesday, 19 June 2013 14:17 (ten years ago) link
Wow at that Butterworth story

who is this american version of david blaine? 'Bizarro'? The guy who supposedly walked on the Thames? My mothers boyfriend made a point to call from Australia to let me know this fool levitated next to a bus and put his finger through a quarter. When he pulled his finger away THE COIN WAS COMPLETELY INTACT. My mom is mad impressed by the guy too. How do you get to your 60's and still believe this stuff is for real???
