Is this a new release in Ireland? They finally got the S.S. Minnow docked at Kilronan harbor, gave the film canisters to the lighthouse keeper who forgot about it and fifty three years later was discovered after his death?
A lot of over 40 Americans have this as their favourite comedy sketch of all time, and it has a similarity with similarly aged Brits' favourite sketch, 'Fork Handles' by the Two Ronnies:

How about this though, for a European unifier, Freddie Finton and May Warden, Dinner For One: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMUajaiqKCg
From wikipedia:
Dinner for One, also known as The 90th Birthday (German: Der 90. Geburtstag), is a two-hander comedy sketch written by British author Lauri Wylie for the theatre. The German TV station Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) recorded it in 1963, in the original English, with a short introduction in German. It is an 18-minute black-and-white videotape recording, performed by British comedians Freddie Frinton and May Warden. It has become a tradition to watch it on New Year's Eve in Germany, and is the most frequently repeated television programme ever.[1]
The programme is now broadcast annually during the festive season on many TV stations across Northern Europe and Scandinavia, as well as Austria and South Africa (see details below). Despite its popularity in other countries, it remains virtually unknown in the United Kingdom, with its first national broadcast there airing on New Year's Eve 2018.[2] Apart from a few satires, Dinner for One is not known in the United States, where the comic premise had already been made famous by Red Skelton and Lucille Ball. The article "Dinner for One: The greatest cult film you’ve never heard of" investigates the reason for its obscurity.[3]
In 2003, the Danish TV producer Paul Anthony Sørensen directed and produced a documentary about the sketch that includes interviews with relatives of Freddie Frinton and May Warden. It was nominated for the Rose d'Or 2004.
This reminds me of the game being played by W. Finck at the Florida League of the South - guess they have it covered around her, I doubt it, without any additional help from local White Men willing to kick butt - 1488

Is that what really happened?

One of the greatest sketches of all time. So many people have tried to copy it's technique of confusing language and all have failed.
Love it!!!
