by far the most Kafkaesque sketch in their repertoire. the nightmare and absurdity in bureaucracy of a department store. among my favorites.

I always loved how seriously Monty Python took being very, very silly.

I wonder if Terry Gilliam had a hand in writing this? The part with the lift made me think of his and their movies (and the wholething seemed directed almost movie-like).

I know the last season isn't generally as good as the others and isn't as remembered as the Pythons' other work, but there are some moments from this season that can still floor me. This sketch is one of them and so is the part earlier in this episode where the main guy's mother is complaining about all the animals he's bought. Just hilarious.

If you think about it, this is a parody on the megachurch of today. Maybe they were being prophetic back then.

Even the way Palin moves, right at the beginning, reeks of a blatant contempt for the higher classes--classic! The backbone of Python's humour was satirizing the British class system, of their day. That's why so many have trouble deciphering it. Though I'll admit, they started waning in quality, as the series progressed.

Season 4 was not very good imo but I am most certainly entertained by Eric Idle in Oscar Wilde-esque attire doing slam poetry about a vicious anteater

It’s weird hearing Eric do the typical “pepper-pot” voice; normally, when playing a woman, he uses his normal voice.

"Now here's... Oh I dropped it." "No problem, have another one." "thank you." Beautiful exchange. Blink once and it's over. Still, I laughed every single one of the four times I rewinded the video to see these two seconds again.
