Monty Python - Bookshop Sketch (Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album)

A funny audio sketch by Ponty Mython, the well-known Swiss comedy group. Enjoy!

EDIT: Since there seem to be some people that cannot grasp the fact that the above description is a joke, I will now add an actual, real description of this video. *ahem*

This is a wild life documentary about the hyenas in the savannah. You can see the naughty parts with their mating habits and stuff at 5:38. Enjoy!

Is that customer Marty Feldman? This sketch does predate the Pythons...

[HarvestGod]

@JapaninArmeija Yeah, the customer is Marty Feldman. According to Google, the sketch was written by Cleese and Chapman for "At Last the 1948 Show".

[JapaninArmeija]

@HarvestGod

Sorry to trouble again but it has now turned out that this was a re-enacted Bookshop sketch where Graham was imitating Feldman. There does exist a 1948 version as well.

[HarvestGod]

@JapaninArmeija Huh, well my bad then, I didn't know there were 2 seperate versions. Man, Chapman's pretty good though. o.o

[PookaDude42]

@JapaninArmeija Indeed there is! There was a 1948 album released with this sketch performed by John and Marty. Thanks to the folks over at PythoNet, it can be download here:

Thanks, I uploaded the original version too. I gave credit to the site, of course.

Better than the more famous Parrot Sketch in my humble opinion.

[FlamingoKicker]

This is one of the Pythons' funniest sketches. It doesn't get nearly enough attention over some like the Dead Parrott sketch or Lumberjack or Spam to boot.

@pjskss its Chapman and Cleese.

Does anyone happen to have the first 2 volumes of "The Amazing Adventures of Captain Gladys Stoutpamphlet and her Intrepid Spaniel Stig Amongst the Giant Pygmies of Beckles". I only have Volumes 3 thru 8, but need to complete my collection. And I understand Luscasfilm has bought the rights to "Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying", and soon will be a major motion picture.

@JapaninArmeija It's also exactly the voice he uses in the mechanical brain sketch as the man who throws the dummy salesman from Curry's into Mrs Zambesi's flat.
