Continental Breakfast
SKETCH-O-VISION
A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR TIME.
The setup
The premise
Here’s the bit.
A wide-eyed hotel guest treats a complimentary continental breakfast like a Michelin-starred feast, reverently sampling every item—bananas, yogurt, pastries, even the “fapoon”—and narrating his delight with grand, old-world flourish. The sketch escalates from foodie rapture to surrealism, culminating in a homage to The Shining (Room 237 and a vintage photo reveal), turning mundane hotel fare into operatic, absurdist bliss.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
I'll have what I'm having.
Like Go-Gurt, but to stay.
Well, la-di-da!
Danish treat—must be from Brussels.
Hello, Greece, where the yogurt flows like water.
What will the Germans think of next?
I love being incontinent.
Ah, garçon, one admission for the continental breakfast.
A delight to the senses! Isn't it, my friend, isn't it?
What a tiny plum.
