With such excitement over the long
weekend my family and I decided to go to Shelly Point just a short drives
distance from Langebaan, up the West Coast. The weather sported buckets of rain
and had us trapped inside for two days, encouraging us to bond as a family over
board games and old DVD’s. ‘Old’ is accurate. From behind the dusty television
set, a copy of Leon Schuster’s “The Millennium Menace” was our source of
entertainment. And man did we crack it!
If you don't know Leon Schuster, there's something wrong with you. Every South African knows of this Afrikaans speaking, humour filled white guy, that masks himself as every race and gender. He's hilarious. He's a professional con-artist so to say, someone that thrives on pranking innocent South Africans in public places, every time to produce a massive smile on their face once his identity is revealed.
To look back on his first ever skits was a trip down memory lane. Its what we loved as children and it brought the family together in erupts of laughter. It was the talk of the western cape, this Leon dude wat maak ons lag, lekker!
The most memorable skit in this old but always fresh movie is when they pretend to be shooting a commercial for ‘Rainbow Yogurt’. They pull a man up who clearly loves the camera, and have him practice lines, his attempt to entice his audience into this yummy tasting yogurt. When they send him off for make-up, they fiddle with his yogurt, adding Tabasco sauce, vinegar and a bunch of other hot ingredients. Let me not spoil the rest. Watch out for the last guy, it's brilliant!
