Monty Python - The TV Series

:lol lovely, just lovely :D

Here's mine, just because it makes fun outta my political beliefs...

WORLD FORUM

(Seems serious, a long table in which five men are seated. A host of some kind sitting in the middle. Everyone seems set for some kind of political debate.)

Host (Eric Idle): Good evening and welcome to World Forum. Today we are priviliged and deeply honored to have with us Karl Marx (close-up on Terry Jones wearing a beard), author of the Communist Manifesto (applause), Vladimir Iljitch Ulanov better known to the world as Lenin (close-up on a non-python person wearing a goatee and a Red Army hat), leader of the Russian Revolution, writer, spokesman and father of modern Communism (applause), Che Guevara (close-up on Terry Gilliam relaxing with a smoldering cigar), the Bolivian guerrilla leader (applause), and Mao Tse Tung (close-up on an asian non-python member), chairman of the Chinese Communist party since 1949 (applause).

Host: And the first question is for you, Karl Marx. The Hammers. The Hammers is the nickname of... What English football team?

(Karl Marx looks confused)

Host: The Hammers? No? Well bad luck Karl, it is in fact West Ham United (smiles, applause).

Host: With scores all equal, we now go on to our second round and Lenin, it's your start of a ten. Coventry City last won the FA Cup in what year?

(Lenin shakes his head)

Host: Coventry City last won the FA Cup in what year? Anyone? No? Well, I'm not surprised you didn't get that, Coventry City has NEVER won the English FA Cup (applause).

Host: Che Guevara. Che.

(Che smiles confidently)

Host: Terry Johnson and Pearl Carr last won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1959. What was the name of the song?

(Che looks completely oblivious and angry because he doesn't know the answer)

Host: I'll have to throw the question open. Terry Johnson and Pearl Carrs winning song in the Eurovision Song contest in 1959? No?

(Buzzer)

Host: Yes, Mao Tse Tung!

Mao: "Sing little birdie"?

Host: Yes! Yes, it was indeed. Well challenged.

Host: We now move on to our special gift section and the prize for tonight is this beautiful lounge sweet! (Drapes swing open to reveal a picture of the lounge sweet. Cries of awe from the audience) Our contestant for tonight is Karl Marx and he has elected to answer questions on the workers control of factories. Are you nervous Karl?

Karl Marx: A little, yes.

Host: You're a brave man Karl. The development of the industrial proletariat is conditioned by what other development?

Karl Marx: The development of the industrial bourgeoisie.

Host: Yes! Yes it is indeed. Well done, Karl, two more quesitons and that beautiful lounge sweet will be yours. The struggle of class against class is a *what* struggle, a *what* struggle?

Karl Marx: (Smiling) A political struggle.

Host: Yes! Yes... Now there's just one more question. Are you gonna have a go?

Karl Marx: Yes, please.

Host: You're a brave man, Karl. Who won the cup final in 1949?

Karl Marx: (Struggling) Er... Er... The workers control the means of production? No, no... The struggle of the urban proletariat?

Host: No, it was Wolverhampton Wanderers who beat Leicester 3-1.

Karl Marx: Oh.


....


:lol It always get me rollin' on the floor, probably because I am marxist and also just as frustrated as those Python-Communists about about gameshows who eschew questions about politics and other decent subjects in favor of sporting events... of which I know absolutely nothing about, of course. :D
