Are we weird?

There's this strange cartoon called "A Little Princess" or something, and the main characters have very strong North English accents.  And on one episode, which we probably saw over a year ago, one of the characters said a fairly innocuous line, but with the accent added in, it struck us all as funny.

"Maaybah thay claymed in threw the windahr."

(Translation: Maybe they climbed in through the window.)

Anyhow, for some reason one of us said that line last night, and it led to--literally--5 minutes of all of us repeating the line over and over again in different voices (monster voice, baby voice, crazy voice), still doing the accent...and then it culminated in everyone beat boxing and rapping the line over top.

Anyhow, at the end of this really bizarre impromptu performance, I was struck by the fact that it was completely odd, yet it seemed completely normal at the time.

So I just thought I'd ask -- are we weird?

(Note: I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.)
