The John Cleese connection may be because the two have worked together on Amnesty International benefits, so maybe you've seen John Cleese do the sketch himself sometime.

I am trying to track down a Python sketch that I only heard once years ago and only the audio. As I recall, it was John Cleese and he was Beezlebub (I think) and was separating people into groups for assignment to various parts of Hell. That's all I know and I am hoping you or those who visit the site might be able to sort this out for me. Thanks! Great site!

This happens several times. I think one of the guys was an announcer asking no one in particular what made them do that. I think this sketch was at the beginning of the episode. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The sketch shows a general or some other kind of high ranked military guy, who just got a bad message or something... he then begins jabbering about the next steps and gets more and more excited.. talking at some point about a "holy threefold total mobilization" land, water, air and so on... that's pretty much all i can recall. i have seen all the flying circus episodes but haven't found it yet, so i started to go through all the movies,life of brian, meaning of life, grail, and now for something completely different, how not to be seen, the hollywood bowl thing and even jabberwocky..still ... nothing... does anyone have an idea in which production this sketch was shown in, or its name or script or anything ? thanks in advance Hi everyone,

I think it is Palin that plays the part and just keeps going on and on about things like taking the A26 as far as a certain roundabout then avoiding the bypass.

You are correct that it was NOT a Monty Python sketch, but was done on Saturday Night Live, during the February 10, 1979 show, Cicely Tyson being the host. I remember watching that one and rolling in the floor as the paratroopers floated down with their walkers, then were such easy targets and were mowed down. The Walker Brigade idea was, indeed, quite a failure. I wish that I could find it on YouTube. The sketch was called “World at War, The Walker Brigade”.

He is standing next to a regular sized man and the tall man says to the normal sized man, "you have something on your face." I think they are eating bananas. And then the regular sized man says the same thing to the tall man and a large piece of banana falls from his face. Do you know which sketch this is? THANK YOU!!

Then at the end a knock came at his door and the postman grabbed the card and said wrong address and took the card from him? I am dying to see this one again and if anyone could direct me I would appreciate it.

We're about to interview the great Mr Cleese on a Sydney radio station and I was sifting around doing some research and came across your site. I laughed so hard! Thank you for compiling the segments.
