Transcript:
Rat: did you hear about this horseman from Southern Russia? I guess he's going around ramming people with his tailbone. He's knocked out six people.
Pig: Wait... What happened.
Goat: This cossack's coccyx clocked six.
Rat: Get him.
Cossacks could be pretty brutal… You had better shape up and REPENT YOUR DASTARDLY WAYS, Cartoon-Boy! Or you might get tossed out into the cold on your coccyx, where there will be wailing (Rat, the Cossack, and perhaps some commenters here will wail the puns out of your buns)!
I am glad to see SP branching out from just puns to include tongue twisters. Great fun! Set the kids to work on trying to say them and have yourself some laughs.

China has outlawed puns and other forms of wordplay.(seriously, they have) After reading this, I’m beginning to understand why.

Oh. For a moment, I thought he was talking about the traditional Ukrainian priest who refused to wear anything but a classic Cossack cassock.
