Rod Hull And Emu - How To Groom An Emu

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 23 кві 2013
  • A classic clip of the manic and much-loved Rod Hull and Emu from the 1970s. Having made his name in the UK and Australia, in the mid-70s Rod took his feathered friend to Canada, where he became a star on a third separate continent, as a regular guest on the Hudson Brothers' Razzle Dazzle Show. These appearances are little-known outside North America. Here is one of them, as Rod demonstrates the best grooming techniques for your emu - but possibly not for his Emu! Thanks to Exclavius at TheEmpire.bz .

      I think they are terrified of getting injured by the over exuberant Hull who was somewhat hamfisted with some of his attacks. Parkinson was a victim, and several women complained of sexual assault after Hull pushed his hand up between their legs or groped their breasts using cover of the puppet.

      Yes indeed, Rod was such a funny man with his manic sidekick Emu.
      It was a tragedy that he died trying to fix his tv aerial whilst on his roof during a storm one night.
      But although it was a tragic sad loss, I could still see him in my imagination on the roof with Emu wrestling with the looney bird over the tv antenna, as they fell arse over elbow, Emu and Rods legs flying everywhere as they tumbled down the slates lol
      But seriously he gave our family laughter every time he was on tv.
      R.I.P Rod, gone but not forgotten.
