Classic sketch from the Pythons.

Re: Monty Python: History of the Joke
Holy cow, where did this come from? This is NOT a classic sketch, this is a thing so rare that many hardcore Python fans (myself included) have been in the dark for years even about the existence of it.
There's the German episodes, there's the comedy albums, there's the pre-Python days with Palin, Cleese, et al (even Peter Cook) on the BBC... and then there's this.
Consider my mind as blown, I shall submit an application in your name for a lifetime, non-revocable geek card.

I'm a big Python fan, too, but I've seen this several times. It's a part of their live shows that they did.

No offense, but did you think of posting it here on M&C?
Quickly, let me tell you where I'm coming from: for two years, I ran the movie department in a non-profit cultural center. In Mexico. Every week, before the main feature, I ran Monty Python episodes in chronological order, in English with English subtitles. A small but faithful Python audience developed, I had to rerun the whole series again!
BTW, the legal concept 'fair use' is quite broad in Mexican law, there's been no entertainment lobbyism quite as harsh as in Washington.
Anyway, c'mon luclonde, now you know: share the stuff, please post the Python, M&C is a filter for an endless stream of internet information - your filter.

Re: Monty Python: History of the Joke
No offense taken. This was never in their television program (to my knowledge), just an act they performed in their live show through the early 80's. So, if all you had were their television shows, you might not have seen this sketch.
There's plenty Python material up on YouTube. Don't put that burden on me, buddy. ;)

Re: Monty Python: History of the Joke
I knew it for quite a while actually. But hey, it's always nice to bring something new to a M+C-viewer. By the look of the Pythons I would suggest that it was one of their earlier live shows, by the wy.
