Folks, please remember, the Goons were on the radio, not television like Python or Izzard. The Goons were pure theatre of the mind. There can be no comparison with any post radio humour; complex or otherwise. Post war Britain didn't have mass TV until 1959/60 when the working class could afford it. The Goons were essentially made up of 2nd World War buddies who took their idea to the BBC and ergo; the radio audience. Radio ruled in Britain until 1959/60.

Sorry to disagree but some of the Goons was on the TV! with the brilliantly done Telegoons, it may not have been the purists idea but it certainly worked for me and many others

These guys STILL make me laugh until I cry!
Thank you Spike, your creative genius cost you so much we know...but what you gave the world can never be equalled.

I have been laughing at the goons since their first radio airing, they are irreplaceable, Python was the Goons with pictures and also very funny, thanks to the internet I can relive those happy days.

I give thanks to God that I was in bed and wearing my incontinence apparel upon watching this. I am an old age poisoner, mate, and the Goons are as hilarious now as when I first heard them aged 12. As for radio being the 'Medium', I can also recommend the Telegoons - different but still wonderful.

Good fun! While not sure the Goons made it this side... it would clearly have been our loss! Thank you michtyme3 for posting, and thank you Barry@Glenmed for sharing! Cheers, etc. Doug --

He does introduce Peter Sellers, its just the microphone barely picks it up. Listen very carefully as soon as PS appears
