—The mayor of Montreal owes me royalties
Not really, actually. As in rock’n’roll, everything in politics has been done before. I’m sure that 15-year-old “Flintstones is not a documentary line” had been used before by someone else – the first time I can recall it being uttered, I think, was in an LPC meeting with Karl Littler and others, and everyone thought it was funny. So I used it on CTV.
Anyway, if my friend Denis Coderre wants to use it, he should. It still gets a laugh.
It’s not coming up with a line that’s important. It’s finding someone crazy enough to say it.
I first saw that line used in Lewis Black’s “Red, White and Screwed” and thought it was funny too.
