      What? You really did not find it funny when the Customs Officer said "You couldn't smuggle a grease-proofed paper"?? He summarized briefly everything that showed how bad the smuggler was at his job --- and then made it clear how he himself could not do his own job either. That is funny.

    This is a fantastic sketch precisely because of how un-Pythonesque it begins. An incompetent smuggler that can help blurting out his hare-brained schemes to a world-weary officer could be part of any basic midbrow comedy, but it just ramps up the tension until a roaring take-off of silly begins with the priest getting dragged off for a stripsearch and ending in Brigadier Arthur Gormanstrop, Mrs..

      Dear Elon Musk, I would like to complain of the way you have handled X (formerly Twitter), however, I refuse to go on the platform, so you will have to settle for reading my complaint here, on TH-cam, the only social media I use. As with most people my age, I am 50, but that's no reason to rebrand that dumpster fire of yours with the name of my generation. Haven't we suffered enough having spent our entire lives being abused by our Boomer parents? It's enough to make me long for the carefree days of my earliest years, spent playing next to my parents 1968 Harvest Gold Mercury Montego, the leaded gas fumes of her 351 Windsor V-8 filling my tiny pink lungs, and smoothing out the wrinkles in my impressionable gray matter. In any event, wht was I saying? Yours, etc., Mrs. Smith (not actually married)

      We start with 5 goldfishes, and end with 3 puffer fishes! Those puffer fish go on to become 22 trout at the Trout Training College of the Northern End of My Backyard Pool! We then introduce those trout to the fine art of bassery by enrolling them in the "How to Become a Bass" class, which takes place at the Bass Training College of the Southern End of My Backyard Pool! Finally, after they've refined themselves down to 7 high-functioning bass, they become enlightened (literally) by growing lights and becoming about 886 angler fish! They take driver's ed, and learn how to find cats! After they find the cat... They confuse it... Thoroughly. After their job is done, they revert back into 3 puffer fish, and live the rest of their lives in the Atlantic Ocean!

    shockingly modern...police brutality (the "customs officer"), but also the Constable that tries to deposit "certain substances" in the suspect's home...that is exactly what some police officers have done to innocent car drivers in the US: smuggling stuff into the cars, finding it, reporting the driver and causing all kind of mayhem in the aftermath

    The Smuggler is my favorite Python sketch. It's chunky and has rhythm. Many little jokes that build up to not one but two punchlines. Cleese admired Palin and always came to life when they did sketches together. Cleese only tolerated Chapman and still subtlety disparages him to this day.

    • @KnightKostas
