Queen and the world of Comedy ?

"Queen and the world of Comedy"

Although Queen did put a lot of comedy in some of their video clips and they where known for their tongue in cheek factor. Queen has and have always liked (mostly British) the world of comedy. It's very impressive on how many connections they had/have with the world of comedy. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all those comedians got Queen, and knew what they stand for and what they really where about,....a lot of rock & fun.

Here is a list of facts, appearances, sketches and songs etc. My question: does anybody know any other Queen/comedy connection or facts?

Bad News (aka the Young Ones): Brian produced their cover version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Nigel Planer also appeared on the original London "We will rock you" (cast).

Queen had a lot of comedic references and things to do wit comedians and such, but I think Slade were even more into the world of comedy.

I was appalled to see Al Murray running about the stage the other night.I'm surprised Brian likes his crappy humour so much.

Yeah inu, that one is great and it displays the Queen tongue in cheek factor very well "can i go to lunch now" "no you can't".

Very recent;

Queen music (Flash Gordon) on Family Guy:

On the new episode from "Family Guy / Road to Germany" they used "Battle Theme" from the Queen soundtrack "Flash Gordon", including Brian Blessed "standby my Hawkmen, dive!!". Great episode, especially the Mccain / Palin reference ;)

Whole episode ("Battle Theme" from 16 min 45 sec.)

Why? The bloke's a genius.

The Cosmos Pisses Itself.

Surely the the must hysterical album ever.

Oh look, there's QZ's very own TROLL appearing again to try to wind us up with his 'superior' views on TCR.
You may feel that you're funny likening TCR to comedy, but in fact YOU are the biggest joke on this ( or amy other) page.

Attention seeking, ass-wiping, childish little spoilt pratt, just to be CLEAR.

Most of the Queen fan base is a joke
