@mrmrhollingsworth It WAS a oneliner you. Don't tell me I actually have to explain it... Idle is telling the story of their visit to an old Nazi concentration camp where the guards won't let them in, whereafter Chapman says: "Tell them we're Jewish." If that's not a oneliner, I don't know what is.

@figbat1 Yes! I have worked your comments out:

Your first name is Phil, you listen to crap music, you get the shits every 336 days because of poor diet choices and you are the craziest fucker I've met on youtube.

This is - hands down - absolutely THE funniest goddamn story I have ever heard in my life, and when Monty Python tells the funniest story ever, it will NEVER be out-funnied. Cleese told it better than Idle, but the basic story is still The Greatest One Liner Ever.

Probably Chapman was only half joking, so it's not a oneliner per se, more like a funny thing that happened.
