Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Sherlock Holmes & Dr. Watson were just regular guys faced with incomprehensible situations? Well continue to wonder, they have become the product of our tortured and twisted minds.
We genuinely love the adventures of Sherlock Holmes but we are slightly more cynical and love to laugh. The result is these affectionate parodies of the two literary heroes. Enter the world of Curly Fu & Peanut.
The adventures of Curly Fu & Peanut are brought to you by Fred Turner and Dennis Gavin. No expense was spent on the production and no owls were harmed during the recordings. No one should take themselves too seriously...........
especially Sherlock Holmes
==========================================
According to BBC News’s China Blog, the real obsessive fans of Holmes and Watson are in China, and they’ve even taken to giving each of the two leads their own nicknames.
Thanks to a forum devoted to Benedict Cumberbatch and his detective alter ego, Sherlock has been renamed “Curly Fu.” Curly because of the hair, and fu being a Chinese derivation from Holmes. In honor of this unlikely nickname, the forum is entitled the Baidu Curly Fu Bar.
As for Martin Freeman’s John Watson, his new name comes from a play on the Mandarin “hua sheng,” which means nut and sounds a bit like Martin. Hence he’s called “Peanut.”
