Finally, after they've refined themselves down to 7 high-functioning bass, they become enlightened (literally) by growing lights and becoming about 886 angler fish! They take driver's ed, and learn how to find cats! After they find the cat... They confuse it... Thoroughly. After their job is done, they revert back into 3 puffer fish, and live the rest of their lives in the Atlantic Ocean!

This is why these guys are the best.

The police sketch was genius

I see lots of comments here, admiring it. Some comments, highlighting its uniqueness. Others perplexed that British people are funny. I can assure them, that Monty Python's humour, represented a new generation of satirists. The legacy of which, is "all over the place" now. Thanking you for the video 👍 Salutations, from Kensington and Chelsea; in London. 🇬🇧

They were real badasses! They did this and did not burst out laughing. It's truly proof of being the tough guys...
