Who dares wears Get in, get out without being noticed
Sadly, our mighty forests all seem to be on fire at the moment but I did pick some wild flowers today!
I have loved the Pythons since I caught the Deadly Joke sketch in the '70's. BUT -- I don't much care for the Lumberjack song! Frequently, when I want to dress, my S.O. starts singing it....
Now, the Cheese Shop sketch....

Colleen,
This could turn into the longest thread ever!!
Who dares wears Get in, get out without being noticed
No, it won't.
It's all very well you arguing over the argument sketch but you've all forgotten about my decorating , at least someone could offer to hold my ladder if I fall off I could end up doing a silly walk and please don't argue over it otherwise someone might get smacked across the head with a wet fish !!
Teresa, I would love to help you except for two things. One, I live in the forests of Canada. Two, one of my favourite lines is to say, "and now for something completely different". My fear is you would come down from the ladder and change into a new outfit! You would have to feed me, spam and chips, maybe.
I like myself, regardless of the packaging that I may come in! It's what is on the inside of the package that counts!
I know what I would like to be smacked around the head with and I am not talking fish!
I started life a lost man now I am a found woman
No it isn't..........
Here today, gone tomorrow....
Yes it is and by the way I may be arguing in my spare time

And what did the Romans ever do for us?
This thread could run and run. It's an treasure trove of comic genius. Has anyone mentioned the Goons? And for pure British comic genius, Pete and Dud.

Stop it. This is getting silly!
People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Needlenoddlenoo Helen! Thinks: I've got the entire set of long-play cardboard episodes.
Favourite lines from The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler of Bexhill-on-Sea between Minnie and Henry:
You can't shoot elephants in England you know! (And why not?) They're out of season!
The classic line from Eccles, "He's fallen in the water". Out of context you think how can that be funny but if you're in the know....I must find a link.
...and let's not forget Hancock's Half Hour and The Two Ronnies.
As for Benny Hill...I could take him or leave him...an acquired taste IMHO, and a brand of humour that doesn't necessarily resonate with me. I do, however, give him props for all of his crossdressing-related skits at a time when showcasing this activity was still strictly non-mainstream and somewhat risque'.
British comedians Dick Emery and Stanley Baxter of the same era were also well known for taking on female roles in their shows.
Here today, gone tomorrow....
Helen,
Pete and Dud were maybe a little more risque but the sketch I loved was when Dud had applied for an acting role as Tarzan with only one leg and Pete tried to be so kind letting him down as unsuitable because he was defficient in the leg department .
As for the Goons well it did contain some of the best comedians . As for the saying you quoted , " He's fallen in der water ! " I had a group of people in stitches when I came out with it when someone had an accident and stood waist deep in a water tank .
No one has mentioned Fawlty Towers yet so I will... Basil: A satisfied customer. We should have him stuffed.

Stanley Baxter often dressed as a woman in his sketches and broke new ground in being the first person (not just the first man) to impersonate the Queen.
Python had a few good sketches like the ones mentioned here but you had to wade through an awful lot of unfunny pretentious drivel to get to these.
Becky,
Who can forget;
Well may I ask what you expected to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House perhaps? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically...
Pretentious moi?
A.K.A Rebecca & Bec
Helen I have stayed in Torquay, if I peered out of the right side of the bay window I could see water, mind you in winter Torquay is not overcrowded with tourists.
I did not see Basil the hamster, dead pigeons, a stags head, or a gnome, and there was no fire drill.
Leslie, I just read your post, I have been to Tintajel too.
Not to mention Dartmoor, Regents Park, The Tay Bridge and many other scenic sights of Grate Britain and Wales. :-)
Who has been to Bal Ham gateway of the south where there is the trade of toothbrush holesmanship where the holes are inserted in toothbrush blanks manually or once a year.
The ever changing lights... Red to Yellow then green and back to Red again.
Oh! I could go on.
