A classic sketch about a customer complaining to a pet shop owner that he has been sold a dead parrot. The shop owner refuses to acknowledge that anything is wrong with the clearly deceased Norwegian Blue parrot.

I wish to register a complaint
He's not dead, he's resting
This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
