What an honour. I grew up loving Ronnie Barker and can only hope the news that I am to give a talk in his name doesn't leave him spitting spiritedly splenetic spoonerisms in comedy heaven.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 April 2017 |title=Ben Elton to give inaugural BBC comedy lecture The Ronnie Barker Talk |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2017/ronnie-barker-lecture |access-date=1 April 2024 |website=[[BBC]]}}</ref>

* The Washington, D.C. political comedy group [[Capitol Steps]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.capsteps.com|title=The Capitol Steps – We put the MOCK in Democracy|work=capsteps.com}}</ref> had a long-standing tradition of performing a routine named "Lirty Dies"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.capsteps.com/lirty/|title=Capitol Steps – Lirty Dies !|work=capsteps.com}}</ref> during every performance, which features a typically 10-minute-long barrage of rapid-fire topical spoonerisms. A few examples over the years range from "Resident Pagan" (President Reagan) and the US's periodic practice of "Licking their Peaders" (Picking their leaders) to the NSA "poopin' on Snutin" (Snoopin' on Putin) and "phugging everybody's bones" (bugging everybody's phones).
