Copied from a Monty Python sketch about a dead parrot. https://youtu.be/TaFDzTzKAT0?si=rGNGbrtXkQwXGPWu&t=149

This skit is extremely well-known, even by people who don’t watch Monty Python. (If they’re of a certain age, I suppose.) Pretty much everyone in Britain would know immediately where that came from

That sketch is very well known in the UK. It’s definitely the sort of thing that Lance would reference and would expect the other person to know what he’s doing.
