[@cmans79tr7]

Yep. And the last sentence of the clip "It's a fair cop" is also brilliant. Someone elsewhere clarified that the phrase is a British-ism meaning something to the effect that someone made a good point Also that the "arrest" was justified, playing upon the fact ther were three "cops" in the room, one-upping each other. Until I had read this comment section, I was unaware of any significance to that ending, and until now, I did indeed consider that a cheap way to end the skit.

One of the most brilliant things of this sketch is the camera work when they're arguing back and forth. I think the first time I saw I just went "WOAH"! Too bad the sketch didn't call for more rapid-fire back and forth, because it was funny seeing the view switch back and forth so much. I guess it would've been funny, to do what they did early portion of the argument, and then at some point the camera gets in a back and forth rhythm despite the fact by that point the argument wasn't going that quickly back and forth. It's almost a disappointment now that I think of it, because the show frequently loved to get into camerawork going amiss.
