"The Walking Dead" can be relentlessly grim. But this past Sunday's episode had some lighter moments.

An ingenious person online synced the "Benny Hill" theme song "Yakety Sax" to the chase scene with Rick, Daryl and Jesus and it's significantly funnier as a result.

Here's an original Benny Hill chase scene for the unitiated:

"The Benny Hill Show" aired in various forms from 1955 to 1991 and involved slapstick, mime and silly chase scenes, usually of scantily clad women trying to take down Hill after he gropes them. It was not subtle and has not aged well. But that song for anyone of a certain age sticks out.
