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...

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

    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.

    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:

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

    "Four Ms and a silent Q" made me laugh myself silly, for about 10 minutes, the first time I heard it.

    It is John Cleese (100%) and Graham Chapman (90%). And by 90% I don't mean it is 90% of Graham Chapman but that I am 90% sure it is he who lent his voice to this sketch. (if it is not Graham Chapman then it certainly is at least 10% of Michael Palin.)
