Inspired by another thread, I got to wondering about my favourite - can't decide between Gerald the gorilla and the Python-worshipping blasphemy sketch!

What's your favourite?

The 'Oh you've got to be fat to be stout now have you?' or the one in the HiFi shop.

Definitely the "I like Trucking and I like to Truck" sketch, complete with the squished hedgehogs :hihi: :hihi:

Also the little song about Ronald Reagan, I think it was, with the line about "And I believe that bricks and DC10s can fly"

And Rowan Atkinson waving at the camera and walking straight into the lamppost!

Wonderful stuff

My favourite sketch is the one where the union leaders vote for tea or coffee, ....

Or the one where they are sitting under what looks like a low light only to stand up and bang their heads on the ceiling.

So many good ones.....

The 'Bricks and DC10s can fly' song was a favourite of mine,along with the spoof Abba song 'Soopa Doopa'??

There was the sketch of the two politicians having a major row in the studio until one drops dead,and then the other guy goes seamlessly in to a respectful eulogy....

The spoof American Express adverts featuring Pamela Stephenson...

And the impression of Edward Kennedy...."I think that there's a lesson in there for everyone." When asked what that is, he thoughtfully and slowly replies, "Never... never... drive your floosie over a rickety bridge when you're ****** out of your mind."

(Thanks Wiki for the wording of the last one!!)

The one where Pamela Stephenson gets of a bus with a boob hanging out, and then realises that she's left her baby on the bus!

I was young when this was on, but I remember a few,

darts one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffFo2Ymrck)

gorilla one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d40S0GgfDtw&NR=1)

These have just given me a giggle.:)

I've actually got "Hedgehog Sandwich" on vinyl, as well as "The Memory Kinda Lingas", on double vinyl too.

I'll crawl back into my geek hole now.

Broadcasters probably wouldn't dare put that sketch out today for fear of giving offence :rolleyes:

Yes, it's a shame that. Another superb sketch, whilst we are on the Ayatollah theme, was the crown of several thousand Muslims praying on their knees, as they do, faces close to the ground, and the voice-over saying "And the search goes on for Ayatollah Khomeini's contact lens!" Loved that one!

Not sure if it was NTNOCL or Smith and Jones but the sketch was in a police station. I think Mel Smith was the copper taking a statement and Griff was the suspect, saying things like "ouch, not the truncheon", "stop beating me" etc. etc.!
