There's an episode by The Goodies called "Kung Fu Kapers", featuring the ancient Yorkshire martial art of "Ecky Thump", which involves hitting people with a black pudding. It became (in)famous because a man actually died laughing while watching it on TV. I don't think the episode is on KZbin, but I've seen it on Dailymotion.

[@SuddenReal]

The whole inspiration of Monty Python's Flying Circus came from a sketch show they saw where they found everything leading up to the punchline funnier than the punchline itself, so they decided to just write sketches without a punch line.

Great reaction, another great sketch by Monty Python is The Hungarian phrase book. Monty Python`s flying circus was incredible when it first aired in the 70`s, a lot of it still stands the test of time but there were parts that dont work as well today due to them being topical to the times, notibly the political satire. However there is still a lot to explore.

We had a lot of BBC programming here in Canada back in the 60s, Flying Circus was my introduction to the Pythons, been a fan ever since.

[@alanmon2690]

I watched all these when the show was on first time around, on Sunday nights; I think. Dad wasn't too impressed. The influence of Spike Milligan (who had 'Q' running contemporaneously with weird sketches)on the MP team was noticeable. Spike was in Life of Brian, just a cameo. The MP learnt their skills in BBC Radio sketch shows and early TV shows, "Written by and starring The Goodies' Tim Brooke-Taylor, Monty Python's Graham Chapman and John Cleese, and comedy legend Marty Feldman, "At Last the 1948 Show" is a groundbreaking, splendidly silly and surreal sketch comedy series" IMDB Wait until "SPAM" which is the origin of unwanted email.

[@alzo7891]

Back in the late 70s/early 80s, there was a rash of Punk bands named after Monty Python bits (Piranha Brothers, X-Parrot, and so on). The most successful was an English group named Killing Joke.

You used to be able to put the German text of the joke into Google Translate and get the response: "[FATAL ERROR]". Unfortunately they've changed the algorithm and it now just partially translates the text (it's not actual German, it just resembles it grammatically)

[@BlueBarchetta67]

They were influenced by The Goons radio show, in which John Cleese was an announcer for a while. They comprised of Spike Milligan, Harry (Seegoon) Secombe, Peter Sellars, and Michael Bentine for a while. Their material was just as looney tunes as these guys. There are some of there radio shows on here that you may want to check out. Brilliantly written, with an array of regular characters, and superbly performed, even though at times they have to break character due the hilarious scripts. If you like Python, you'll love The Goon Show.

[@pettytyrant2720]

And alongside the Goons Round the Horn is worthy of a mention, I still can't believe they got away with broadcasting some of what they did at lunchtime on a Sunday, especially the Julian and Sandy sketches ( with legend Keith Willaims and Hugh Paddick) at a time when homosexuality was still a criminal offence, they don't get credited enough with being pioneers in bringing such characters into the British home in a way that endeared people to them rather than cast them as degenerate in some fashion as most media of the time did. Comedy is under credited at times in helping shape societal attitudes. And as shows like the Frost Report and Python themselves would undermine the pompous, ridiculousness of the British class system so shows like Round the Horn ridiculed and challenged Britain's societal attitudes of the time. Real pioneering brave comedy. Julian and Sandy sketches, and indeed whole episodes of Round the Horn are on youtube and well worth digging out.
