    That's a good strategy for when you're put in a tense situation like Terry Jones' character was: Make up a word to express something you simply can;t, like "Splunge." I like how John Cleese bounces up a bit when he is called on at 2:51.

    I've always felt like this was an underappreciated sketch. This was one of the times when MP just went for it, cranking up the silly to 11, damn the torpedoes, and it paid off. You have to relish the utter lunacy of the producer and the gibbering existential cowardice of the writers. For some reason, that "pencil droppers, eh?" gets me every time.

    Beautiful. Just... My favorite MP sketch of all time; dead parrots, cheese shops, argument clinics and crunchy frogs in all glory, but sometimes, you just need something a little more conventional to make you smile. Like an absolutely wonderful Graham Chapman (he was so calm in his other roles, aside from in the Flying Lesson, as either an extreme authority figure, extremely silly or an extreme victim...seeing him so threatening was refreshing.) yelling at a table of cowering Pythons.
