Ministry of Silly Walks - John Cleese as the Minister for Silly Walks
Canada
January 31, 2007 8:32pm CST
Mine (if you couldn't tell by the attached image) is the Ministry of Silly Walks. Mr. Pudey: Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it. ... Minister: It's not particularly sill, is it? I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step. Mr. Pudey: Yes, but I think that with government backing I could make it very silly.

I don't recall the title of this one, but it depicts a scene where a man is on the beach looking for a place to change into his swimming trunks but someone invades every nook and cranny he finds. Then he finally opens a door which happens to be the back entry to a stage, and stripper music starts playing, to which he strips off his clothes, much to a full audience's amusement. I love this one because I can really find myself in it. I am extremely shy in real live but extremely outgoing on stage. I also love the Man with Three Buttocks, The Encyclopedia Salesman, the Silly Job Interview, I Wish To Report A Burglary... there are so many moments!

I like the lumber jack song, where he goes off n starts singing about wearing women's clothes, the look on the other guys faces was priceless.

My favs the job interview for the management training course with John Cleese and Graham Chapman from series 1 episode 5. Its hard to explain but cleese keeps ringing the bell and shouting 5...4...3...2..1 and Goood Night ding ding ding ding

There are so many great sketches. I always thought that the fish slapping dance was the most utterly bizarre thing that they ever came up with. I haven't seen it as often as some of teh ones already mentioned and perhaps thats why I still find it funny

i have always liked the arguement sketch, but i also like the interview with three members, the first one can only say the first part of the word: the second member can only say the middle of the word and the final person can only say the last part of the word, they then all start saying a sentence together

cant remember the name, but there is this hilarious scene where four old men start overbidding each other in how bad their youth was, ending in something like: "we used to work 36 hours a day, eat a hand of stone cold poison, and then get a beating!" got me rolling on the floor from laughter^^
