Yesterday I posted a demonstration of the raw power of a great sword. Someone in the comments requested that the video be Benny-Hillified, and now, thanks to reader zax I can share that with you.

From zax's description of the video:

Ever wanted to see a "portly" gentleman with an awesome tache chop up pigs with a two handed sword to the theme music from benny hill? Well here it is!!

    How could the soundtrack be anything else?

  • jakemg

    Oh my. The pauses in the music worked perfectly.

    I’m still going to buy one of these in case of the Zombie Apocalypse. You need a good back up for when you run out of ammo.

      It sure beats the shitty knife in Black Ops…

    In my limited time on earth, I have learned Yakkity Sax can make just about anything better.

            Excellent! Post all you want: I’ll be ready with my indestructible-by-liquids keyboard.

      • Mister44

        I have never done that – but I have definitely had encounters where it would have been completely appropriate haha.

    What this really needs is a dubstep soundtrack.

    I couldn’t get through the video last time. Yakkity Sax does indeed improve it palpably.

  • Christian Steifen

    Hey, I really love the BennyHilled ColdSteelAds, but you forgot the best spot: The BMX of Bacon.

    This sword certainly… ‘meats’ my expectations.

  • InsertFingerHere

    Just what every crazy penis-hacking woman needs.

  • freshacconci

    I can now cross that off my list.

  • yopdiesel

    Seems like a good excuse to watch the “Cautionary Tales Of Swords” mini-series for the 100th time…

    There is the missing female touch, of course.

    Thank you. This is hilarious. Even the good folks over at PETA would chuckle.

  • MrsBug

    Ah, that’s better! The earlier one didn’t make any sense at all.

    Much needed improvement! Nice work!

  • Eye Open Doors

    Uh huh-huh
    Uh huh-huh

    Yeah-yeah that was cool

  • btschimmi

    I just forwarded this to my dad, because I knew that he has worked with these guys at some point.

    Part of his interesting reply:

    “he loved telling us how he would shoot a kangaroo in the ass and then go up and chop their head off with a machete !”
