Idk why but I genuinely feel like this sketch was written by PDD lol like it just has so many of the PDD themes. Even when they don't have a PDD segment with the boys, there's still a PDD sketch. Which I absolutely love lol

It's like a lost Monty Python sketch. Graham Chapman as Kinski, and Carol Cleveland as the duchess.

On our honeymoon in Toronto we ate at the restaurant on top of the Space Needle. I accidentally ordered a seafood tower that was meant for multiple people. I couldnt even see my husband over it. People from other tables were coming over to marvel at it. It was the Shrimp Tower!!

Kinsky creates the shrimp tower to impress the archduchess and the tower ends up so impressive that he prefers it to the one it was meant to impress,by like,alot. What an absolutely loopy sketch.
