To be fair, there is a monty python sketch that I like, the one with people arguing who had it worst as children and one of them was saying they used to live in a match box :D.


(This is the "Four Yorkshiremen" sketch, in case anyone is looking to search for it.)


And it’s technically not a Monty Python sketch. It was originally from ‘At Last the 1948 Show’, and was co-written by two people who would go on to be in Python, but also Tim Brooke-Taylor, Marty Feldman, and quite possibly Barry Cryer.

It was re-performed by the Monty Python team later. Possibly one of the only real comedy versions of a cover version being more famous than the original.

anyway, it suggests that if you like that but not Python, maybe you would be better off exploring the comedy of ‘I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue’ instead…

Oh, thanks for the suggestion ! I think I have seen some random bits of it on meme sites, I'll have a look.
