This is a show made of jokes. These jokes include but are not limited to: one-liners, three-liners, quips about mules, outlandish sentiments, ironic characterisations and slams about yams (e.g. "Wow, what a yamateur!"). Also, I save the world at one point. Come and see this show and everything will be great, permanently, for everyone, all of the time.

PLEASE NOTE: This show does not feature side-saddle jousting, nor does it include any references to side-saddle jousting. I'm not sure why people keep asking me this.
