- logfromblammo 11y agoIt's from a comedy sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus. The bit was giving fictional elections returns wherein candidates representing the Silly Party all had ridiculous names. If I recall correctly, the aforementioned Tarquin was representing the Very Silly Party, whereas Kevin Phillips-BONNGGGG! represented the Slightly Silly Party. And now for something not completely different. A more recent and more American equivalent can be found in Key and Peele's East-West Bowl sketches, wherein the collegiate all-star football players reveal names such as "Jammie Jammie-Jammie", "Quiznatodd Bidness", and "Fudge".
