Next time just yell 'Duck!' I reckon.

In this sketch from the premiere episode of Open Slather, Stephen Curry plays a low-ranking minion in a Lord of the Rings-style fantasy battle. Fed up with his commander's overwrought, classical proclamations in the heat of combat, the minion pleads for something more practical — pointing out that all the poetic language is getting them killed, and suggesting a simple "Duck!" would serve them far better.

This sketch was highlighted by TV Tonight reviewer David Knox in his review of Episode 1, calling Curry priceless in the role.
