It is to weep: somebody actually wanted to know who Gilbert and Sullivan were.

Just as an aside, many, many years I had the great good fortune to be living in Los Angeles when the D'oyly Carte Opera made their last US tour and played the Hollywood Bowl. I had tickets for two nights, the second being their final performance and was listed as HMS Pinafore. Turns out that there was a tradition with D'Oyly Carte that the final performance was actually Mad Night, where they intermix songs, costumes, and characters from a multitude of Gilbert & Sullivan operas. So imagine Sir Joseph Porter dressed as the Mikado, or Ralph Rackstraw as the villain and Dick Deadeye as the love interest, or a patter song from Pirates of Penzance sung in the middle of a scene from Pinafore. If you were a G&S buff it was hysterically funny.
