Hahaha LOL! I wonder what the Librarian and his assistant would make now that England is for the moment the number one test nation in cricket. Brit humour and dry wit and its best. The 1980s were a golden age for British comedy on TV. So many funny and inventive comedy tv shows Fry and Laurie, Spitting Image, Not the 9 o'clock news,Black Adder, Rory Bremner, The Two ronnies, Allo Allo etc. I am sure there is many more British TV from that era. But this is all I can think of for the moment.
Ted Cunterblast! One of the greatest comedy names ever. How on earth Fry & Laurie got away with the first syllable, and kept saying it through the skit, without the BBC censors kicking off, is beyond me. Brilliantly funny, still.
Thank heavens I am not a cricket fan, or I would be highly offended by that West Indies bit. However, apart from Brian Lara, this sketch was oddly prophetic...

The beginning seems very similar to the 'joining the army' sketch in Monty Python, right down to the character joining another sketch at the end...

@Hyperplaterine Yes, this sketch is indeed a metaphor for the problem of redemption (one of the 12 levels this sketch works on).

Ahaha it's awesomely ironic that you're taking offence to this and completely missing the point.
He's digging at bristling anti intellectualism and ridiculous defensive attitudes, not badmouthing England or GB or even cricket.
