While this was indeed a truly ingenius sketch, who is with me in thinking that while the conductor fighting the bear after the train crash was very Pythonesque, it would have been a nigh on perfect opportunity to insert the iconic "And now for something completely different."
@EXRazeBurn Actually, the conductor, or rather the signal man (as they're called in England) was seen fighting the bear at the beginning of the episode, followed by Idle & Cleese in the 'people falling off a building skit, which led to a Terry Gilliam animation followed by what you just saw. They all seem random, because they are random & hilarious. (Holds up two cards saying "SO" "THERE".)
What is the solution, if any, to this problem? What can we do? What am I saying? Why am I sitting in this chair? Why am I on this programme? And what am I going to say next? Where do we stand? Where do we sit? Where do we come? Where do we go? What do we do? What do we say? What do we eat? What do we drink? What do we think? What do we do?
lol, reminds at a bit of Loriot: german speech of a politician which is absolutely without content, only transitions which lead into nothing.. but anyway great sketch =)
A brilliant prescience about the direction media was heading in: lots of hyperventilation over nothing. Words without meaning. Vapid ramblings. This is why the Pythons were/are comic geniuses.
@Sejanus31 Moron detected. "presience" "heading". Meida had been like that for centuries. Seriously, please try do do the most BASIC the utmost MINIMUJM of research before you open your fucking stupid mouth.
Oh, my God. I think i'm in the 28% group.

One of the most underestimated and underrated sketch of Monty Python.
In here, Michael Palin is simply superlative.

@demonicspire1 To get that worked up over a Monty Python sketch indicates that maybe you need to take a vacation, friend.
