| Description: | Festivals. Silly carnival w/ costumes & games. Opens w/ group of guys dressed as clowns etc. crowded together posing for camera - 2 of them are sitting on mules ( one dresseed as jockey the other vaguely reminiscent of Harpo M w/ dark wig & bowler hat); they are bouncing up and down and (apparently) singing.This bunch starts to move toward camera. Next; a little comedy scene as the jockey pulls the other guy from mule; starts to spank him w/ his riding crop. Clown soccer (football) played w/ a huge ball. Jockey & someone in long skirt both run & kick ball at once. Skirmish at the goal - whole teams try to push ball & each other. Tug-of-war: MS 1 team pulling rope; really bizarre costume thing w/ papier-mache type mask in FG; and a long line of other weirdos. Bizarre British humor. recreation | |
