if the object of the contest was to eventually kill yourself wouldn't oliver get the Most Valuable Twit award for his seemingly impossible method of killing himself?
This sketch was inspired by the fact that one or two of the Pythons used to live in central London and they would be woken in the middle of the night by car door slamming, drunken Hooray Henrys (or posh people). This sketch was the Pythons' revenge!
This was 'upper class twit of the year', an 'upper class twit' being a stereotypical drunken wastrel Lord or Aristocrat. This sketch drew a lot of complaints from said twits at the time, I believe.
A twit doesn't have to be upper class. It's basically a dork, an idiot. It's a shortened version of 'nitwit' obviously meaning a person with the brains of a headlouse.
It was my understanding that Upper-Class Twits were a group unto themselves, created by centuries of careful inbreeding. I believe that it was so stated in one of the Python skits featuring Upper-Class Twits. Then there is always the Common Twit, created through sheer chance and/or years of substance abuse but they do not compete.

They did this skit twice...Almost shot for shot, word for word from the start line on! Compare this one to '"Monty Python's twit race sketch' here...why re-do it? or is this just a different edit of 'takes' that day?
One of them could have been for the TV show, and the other a movie version. Was this sketch in the 'And now for something completely different' movie?
