I was watching an English Sitcom today.

(I know.. "Britain this, England that! It's all we get from you these days") Sorry!

Anyway, It's called The Mighty Boosh and in one scene, they have got a Shamen council meeting and things don't go off very well.

But that got me thinking, before the Jedi Council was full up with the best of the best, most experienced Jedi Masters, Did it ever seat Jedi that weren't really Deserving?

Some names have been changed to protect the innocent!

Mace: Senior council member. Human.
Quinlan: Council member. Human.
Tony: Council member. Squidlike (trust me)
Kirk: Jedi Knight. Human.
Jada: Jedi Master. Human.


In the Jedi Temple..

Mace: "It saddens me to see you under this situation, Jada, you've been summoned before the Jedi council because You let the Jedi Scroll's fall into Seperatist hands."

Jada: "But I wasn't even there, I was training my Padawaan."

Quinlan: "They were under your care."

Jada: "These two guys I live with, they tried to impress these girls."

Quinlan: "Oh, I'm Jada. Nothing's ever my fault."

Jada: "What's it got to do with you?"

Quinlan: "It's got everything to do with me, and more to boot."

Jada: "You've never liked me, have you?"

Quinlan: "No!"

Jada: "And you're perfect?"

Quinlan: "I'm pretty good."

Jada: "Yeah, you've read the books, but when it comes to the crunch, where are you?"

Quinlan: "The crunch? How dare you speak to me of the crunch? You know nothing of the crunch."

Jada: "I've been there once."

Quinlan: "Oh, a little day trip around the crunch, we can all go as tourists."

Mace: "Shut it!"

Jada: "Look, I'll sort it out, Just give me more time."

Mace: "Well, perhaps I could give you an extra 24 hours."

Quinlan: "How can you allow this?"

Mace: "Here we go!"

Quinlan: "He is guilty, It is written in the Jedi Code, that if you lose the scrolls, Your powers will be suspended."

Mace: "I know this!"

Tony: "He must be punished."

Mace: "I'm afraid on this occasion, they are right! Your powers must be revoked and your Padawaan taken from you."

Jada: "I'll get that scroll, I won't let you down Master!"

Quinlan: "I'll go and look for the Scroll Master!"

Mace: "It is a dangerous mission, I'll assign you a partner."

Quinlan: "Very well, I'll go with Kirk."

Mace: "Kirk is not to be trusted in these matters. Kirk is a violent sexually deranged being from the Fourth dimension"

Quinlan: "Kirk, is it true that you are an erotic adventurer of the most deranged kind?"

Kirk: "Well..,"

Mace: "You shall go with Tony."

Quinlan: "Oh, come on!?!"

Tony: "What, what's your beef?"

Quinlan: "He's got no legs, He can't walk."

Tony: "How dare you? I come fully equiped with a papoose, if you need to move me around, I slot in the back like a peanut. If you're against the papoose system, I've got a wheel that clicks onto my chin like a skate."

Quinlan: "What are you, a kit? Am I going to have to assemble this Kinder Egg and take him with me?"

Mace: "Tony has a gift for strategy."

Tony: "That's right, I'm a unique thinker."

Quinlan: "right, let us hear one of Tony's strategems."

Mace: "Come on tony, don't let me down."

Tony: "Well.. I say we move with haste... we retrieve the Scroll... fetch it back .. in a bag.. and.. quite quickly."

Mace: "Oh, dear!"

Tony: "Just give me five minutes, I can come up with something else."

Quinlan: "You are a knob!"

Tony: "If I were younger, I'd take you on, come on.. let's see what you've got!

Mace: "You will go with Tony, and that will be the end of it."

Quinlan: "Very well, but if when it comes to the crunch, he lets me down, I shall hold you responsible!"

Tony: "Likewise, if this idiot screws up, I'll ditch him quick smart."

Mace: "I sometimes wonder at the team I have assembled."




I don't know if it's just because I can hear it as I read it, but that is Fantastic.
