It comes from the Blackadder episode "Beer"

Queen: Well, hurry up and cure the horrible man -- I'm fed up with him lying there moaning and groaning...
Nursie: ...and letting off such great and fruitsome flabby woof-woofs! One can scarcely believe one's tiny nosy!

bathroom wookiee

The horrible tangled mass of hair, soap scum and bodily fluids that clogs the plughole of a bath or shower.

Usually caused by women who wash their hair, shave their legs and armpits or trim their pubic hair in the shower.

If not dealt with in their early stages, they will grow, block the pipes, float around in a pool of water that spills onto the bathroom floor. and produce a clan of sentient offspring that attack you in the dead of night and drag you off into the sewers.
It takes a brave man to remove a bathroom wookiee.

canned hunting

An unscrupulous practice done by some Southern African safari outfits.

The owner of the outfit will arrange hunting packages with a disreputable travel agent, and give a "hunting safari" to unsuspecting overseas tourists. When the tourists arrive he awes them with campfire stories and gets them drunk on mampoer. The next day the hunt begins. The guides lead the tourists on a convoluted bundu bash around the tiny 100 hectare game farm in such a way that they think it's a lot bigger than it actually is, while pretending to track a lion. Meanwhile, the owner goes off to a game auction and buys a fleabitten, malnourished captive-bred lion. On the last day of the hunt, they finally "find" the lion (which was released from the owner's truck half an hour before). The tourists then shoot their lion, get lots of photos taken, fork out bucket-loads of cash and fly home feeling really macho.
Bystander #1 at Joburg airport:
Look at those yanks in their safari gear. Isn't it pathetic?

Bystander #2:
I bet they're on a canned hunting trip.

total bunch

Since any description of a group, society or organisation that begins with "a total bunch of..." is never a good one, it is simpler to just call them a total bunch.
That frat is a total bunch of douchebags.

The government is a total bunch of thieving bastards.

My ISP is a total bunch of incompetent imbeciles.

Those guys are a total bunch.
