"I was taking part in the racial violence that was taking place in LA at that time... I like to think that I mowed down as whites as I did blacks. The Koreans did very badly out of the whole deal."

Do you feel any pride now about that?

"I feel nothing but pride. That's all I do feel. An empty pride, a hopeless vanity, a dreadful arrogance, a stupefyingly futile conceit. But at least it's something to hang on to."

Why is this funny? This just sounds disturbing as hell to me. Is there some context that makes it amusing?

DA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Arthur_Streeb-Greebling is the character

...WTF :D And Dudley Moore's his interviewer! Yeah, I see how this would be funny in the context. I guess some of this is bordering on actual social satire, which is why the above extract creeped me out.

I should watch the sketches sometime.

This one (as mentioned before) is from the later Chris Morris sketches, not the Dudley Moore stuff.

But, yeah, Peter Cook. Absolute legend.

It's from an improv thing that Peter Cook and Chris Morris did in the form of an interview between Morris and Cook's Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling persona. It's funny to me because of the absurdity of the things that he's saying, and also how that interacts with the over-serious documentarian tone of the thing - that he's saying this insane, dark things in a very serious, nostalgic, important-person-retrospective tone. And the insanity of the surrounding narrative leading to this incredibly overdramatic point.

It's also really impressive to me as improv, specifically.
