How is Sergeant Foster able to explain to the detective inspector what the civilian said to him, since the civilian didn't speak in a lower register just then? :P
"Well, speaking as Conservative candidate, I just drone on, and on, and on and on, never letting anyone else get a word in edgeways, until I start foaming at the mouth and falling over backwards."
The first time I heard and saw this bit with Graham Chapman I just couldn't stop laughing.
Chapman and Cleese were doubtlessly the best Monty Python's members.
You can tell the Chapman/Cleese written sketches...they were always the ones that played around w/ words, language, or discussions in general. Palin and Jones did most of the visual sketch stuff.
What do I mean by the word mean? What do I mean by the word word? What do I mean by what do I mean? What do I mean by do and what do I do by mean? What do I do by do by do, and what do I mean by wasting your time like this! Good night!
Foam at the mouth and fall over backwards. Is he foaming at the mouth to fall over backwards or falling over backwards to foam at the mouth? Tonights spectrum examines the question of foaming and falling, coughing and calling, screaming and balling, walling and stalling, gauling and mauling, bawling and hauling, tralling and squalling and zawling. Zawling! Is there a word zawling? If there is what does it mean? If there isn't what do I mean? Perhaps both, maybe neither!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it is funny, but they screwed it up, when that man who reports a burglary speaks his adress to main inspector, and the other policeman hears it and repeats it to main inspector...he couldn't be hearing it because that man who has reported didn't speak in low tone...so it is not that funny to me any more...it is not perfect joke for me ;)
lmao, i think i got cramps because of laughing so much! i really love it when Eric Idle, Graham Chapman and John Cleese comes in scene and everyone(except for the victim) is talking different to eachother! hahahahaha

Foam at the mouth and fall over backwards. Is he foaming at the mouth to fall over backwards or falling over backwards to foam at the mouth? Tonights spectrum examines the question of foaming and falling, coughing and calling, screaming and balling, walling and stalling, gauling and mauling, bawling and hauling, tralling and squalling and zawling.
