Niagara Falls

In Response To: Customs Night (surge edition) (General Vagueness)

Last night we played a gametype I made with reduced movement speed I made called Niagara Falls. Unfortunately everyone was unaware of the joke there, even after I described the bit. To explain the name, and hopefully give everyone a laugh, here's a version done on I Love Lucy (the key word here is "Martha", but she gives a shout-out to Niagara Falls in the setup):

This routine, usually called "Slowly I turned" or "Niagara Falls", was also done by Abbot and Costello and The Three Stooges among many others, going back at least 70 years. (Those are each different takes on the same basic idea and I recommend watching all of them.) When I was little my mom would sometimes do the "slowly I turned" part of it to be silly-- I didn't know what it was until a few years ago.
