April Foollishness : Yellowbeard
So in the 80's there were a few Python adjacent projects ,this was Graham Chapmans, a parody of pirate films and its brimming with comedy talent :Written by Chapman and Peter Cook,music by John Morris and a cast including Chapman,Cook,Eric Idle ,John Cleese,Madeline Khan ,MArty Feldman ,Peter Boyle ,Kenneth Mars,Cheech & Chong .....and legendary actor JAMES MASON!!! Now this film should be comedy classic......Why have I barely heard of it though?.....
In this 1983 film After 20 years in prision Captain Yellowbeard (Graham Chapman) is forced to team up with his son Dan (MArtin Hewitt) who has the map to his buried treasure tatooed on his head
OK this film starts off on a good note ,like I said the cast is amazing and most of them are pretty great :Madeline Khan gets som laughs as Yellowbeards wife ,Eric Idle is solid as a secret serviceman ,Peter Boyle is a good antagonistic pirate and its fun to see him and Marty Feldman as a duo(Also this is Marty Feldmans final role ,as he died during production) ,John Cleese as a blind informant is pretty funny ,and by GOD Peter Cook is the funniest thing in this movie as this old aristocrat /surrogate father to Dan ,he barely has to move but the way he carries himself makes him so funny.I also was pleasently surprised by Graham Chapman,I thought id find him iritating but watching the film reminded me "Oh yeah Chapman was a legit great and underrated comedic actor " and he really sells this unpleasent ,insane monstrus pirate ,hes pretty good here .Honestly I was laughing for a good half hour......Then the rest of the film just SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKS
I dunno what happens but this went from a pretyy funny movie to garbage as soon as the heroes are forced to join a naval vessel captained by James Mason,(In perhaps his worst performance ,I love James Mason,one of my fave actors ,but he does not look like he wants to be in the film and he isnt even allowed to be funny )Thats also when Yellowbeard kind of dips out of the movie for a bit ,and for movie called Yellowbeard he isnt in it alot .Now to be fair maybe they thought too much Yellowbeard would be exhausting but unfortunately our other lead is Dan who is .....Dull as dishwater.They dont do anything with the fact Dans a thinker or anything substantial with the father son bond .I also think the film suffers from having too many antagonists when Peter Boyle was enough ,and one of the villains is Tommy Chong who.....Is just so miscast as a baddie (Cheech Marin as his assistant however is brillaint ).Theres a love story that comes out of the blue and goes nowhere.My other very big complaint is.....Theres like 10 r*pe jokes ,like more then I expected and they are uncomfortable
Overall,the first half hour works .......But then it keeps going and it doesnt work

FR: ...Good for walking on. Sometimes I trip and scrape my knees, and that sucks.
CH: Oh, keep bragging, why don’t you.
FR: ?? I’m just answering the question?
CH: How do you think it feels for ME, huh? I have to FLOAT everywhere!
FR: Isn’t that more convenient???
CH: And my options for dramatic poses are SERIOUSLY limited! You people with limbs really don’t know what you’ve got.
for April Fools’ Volume VI of my eternal series: Pictures of the Back of Brian’s Head.
(Part V and so on….)
CH: Any!!!!! Any at all! Please, whatever higher beings might be out there, please just give me any kind of chocolate that I can eat. I’m begging you, here.
CH: Oh, but if it’s for a cake, make sure it’s sweet!!! Sweet as you can make it! Cram as much sugar as you can into that thing!
FR: You’ll rot your teeth out.
CH: What teeth?!
FR: ...
AHA! Just at the stroke of midnight, I, the writer and artist of Chocoblook, am freed at last from that speech synthesizer, just in time for my wondrous April Fool’s plot to— what? April 2nd? I missed it?!
So ends this year’s edition of April Foolishness! A lot less extravagant than my previous endeavours, but in my defence, I was trapped in an Utauloid for the whole day. Bless these kids for putting on some kind of a show, but they just don’t have that dramatic spark in them.
(Also, I’m pretty sure Tumblr put a limit on how many audio posts I could make. Either that or it decided to glitch out at the worst possible time.)
Now then, until I have more reason to post, it’s back to radio silence from me!
CH: Okay. Frisk. Question.
FR: ?
CH: What’s with the weird audio in all these posts?
FR: Oh, you noticed that?
CH: Of course I noticed, this is like. THE weirdest way to do an AMA. Where are you even getting that stuff?
FR: I’m not adding it. Every time I try to answer an ask normally, it turns into an audio post. I think this blog’s haunted.
CH: Don’t be ridiculous. Ghosts aren’t real.
*laugh track*
FR: Social? Choco should stop being mean to me.
CH: Murderer.
FR: I said I was sorry.
CH: ...
FR: Want some popcorn?
CH: I can’t eat that.
