Featured in the episode of the same name (Episode Four) in Season One. Prior to the song, with prompting from his henchman Gareth, King Richard confronts the Jester about his affair with Madalena. He asks the Jester to teach him to be funny so that he can woo Madalena back. The song is the Jester te...
[JESTER]
Comedy is easy once you know the basics
Starting with the concept of surprise
[KING RICHARD]
Right!
[JESTER]
Take what folks think
Give it a wink
You try it on now for size
[KING RICHARD]
Me?
[JESTER]
Yeah
[KING RICHARD]
What's black and white, and red all over?
[JESTER]
I don't know, sire. What is black and white, and red all over?
[KING RICHARD]
Those guys, after I behead them. Huh, huh?
(Guard screams as he is pushed off the balcony)
He was surprised
[JESTER]:
Comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]
Really?
[JESTER]
I'm tellin' you it's comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]
Yes!
[JESTER]
You're killing it!
If that doesn't slay them-
[KING RICHARD]
I'll murder you cold!
[GUARD]
Swear to God, it's comedy gold!
[JESTER]
Well, our work here is done, so I'll just be going
[KING RICHARD]
Oh, we're just getting started
[JESTER]
Ah, right
[KING RICHARD]
Lesson two
[JESTER]
Lesson number two is also fundamental
Something that we call the Rule of Three
Set up the joke
Give it a stroke
Third time, bam!
[KING RICHARD]: Yes, now me!
Three serfs walk into a bar
The first serf orders a hot grog
The second serf orders a hot grog
And the third serf orders a hot grog
But he has no money or neither do the other two because they are serfs
Huh?
[JESTER]: Comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]: Yes, nailed it!
[JESTER]: I promise you it's comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]: Hilarious
[JESTER]: The crowd will be rolling...
[KING RICHARD]: Or heads will be rolled
[JESTER]: Oh, not with all this comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]: More, more!
[JESTER]
Props can be a riot
Ethnic humor, can't deny it
Or a pratfall if it's properly applied
Depending on the viewer
Take it black or work it bluer
Or try an observational aside
[KING RICHARD]: Have you ever noticed how lepers have pieces falling off of them?
What's that all about?
[JESTER]: Comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]: Comedy gold
[BOTH]: I'm tellin' you, it's comedy gold
[KING RICHARD]: Comedy gold
[BOTH]: No doubt about it
[JESTER]: Talent like yours, Sire
It never gets old
[KING RICHARD]: And if it does...
You'll never get old, because you'll be dead when I execute you. Get it?
[JESTER]: Got it
[KING RICHARD]: Good
[BOTH]
Gonna be killer
Gonna be ace
Folks dyin' of laughter
All over the place!
[KING RICHARD]: And if I get desperate
[JESTER]: A pie in the face!
[KING RICHARD]: I dare you
[BOTH]: Tellin' you it's comedy gold!
