Yep. And the last sentence of the clip "It's a fair cop" is also brilliant. Someone elsewhere clarified that the phrase is a British-ism meaning something to the effect that someone made a good point Also that the "arrest" was justified, playing upon the fact ther were three "cops" in the room, one-upping each other. Until I had read this comment section, I was unaware of any significance to that ending, and until now, I did indeed consider that a cheap way to end the skit.

Probably my favorite Monty Python sketch, although it is hard to decide. Two nits though: (1) Michael Palin never paid for the first five minutes (?) of argument, and (2) the choice given by the secretary was a single 5-minute argument or a course of 8 arguments, whereas John Cleese asks Michael Palin if he's there for the 5-minute argument or the full half hour. The secretary never offered Palin a full half-hour argument. Maybe I should take make a visit to the complaint department?

We were pretty good. We carried it on after class. And then when we were offered we joined drama club and from there we learnt about beyond the fringe, the Goon show and much else.

One of the most brilliant things of this sketch is the camera work when they're arguing back and forth. I think the first time I saw I just went "WOAH"! Too bad the sketch didn't call for more rapid-fire back and forth, because it was funny seeing the view switch back and forth so much. I guess it would've been funny, to do what they did early portion of the argument, and then at some point the camera gets in a back and forth rhythm despite the fact by that point the argument wasn't going that quickly back and forth. It's almost a disappointment now that I think of it, because the show frequently loved to get into camerawork going amiss.

Yep. And the last sentence of the clip "It's a fair cop" is also brilliant. Someone elsewhere clarified that the phrase is a British-ism meaning something to the effect that someone made a good point Also that the "arrest" was justified, playing upon the fact ther were three "cops" in the room, one-upping each other. Until I had read this comment section, I was unaware of any significance to that ending, and until now, I did indeed consider that a cheap way to end the skit.

Well, eventually they are out of view of the camera, thus making it harder to argue that they wilfully participated in the sketch.
The perfect Python sketch.

Monty Python unintentionally invented the term “spam” for “something unwanted and asked for”. This sketch is a tutorial for social media arguments, plus the rooms of abuse and complaint.
Actually Spam was originally a brand name for canned spiced ham (spam) from 1930s US
No, I think you're wrong. It simply can't be from the 1930s. They would have pulled Spam off the store shelf by now if it was that old.

The Greatest Skit of All Time!!! Being hit on the head lessons… “I came in here for a good argument” “No you didn’t, you came in here for an argument.”
Just for the sake of _argument..._ the first encounter went from the 1:29 mark, when Palin says "Is this the right room for an argument?" to the 2:42 mark, when Cleese hit the bell. So once and for all, Palin was right. It wasn't five minutes, it was only one minute thirteen. 👍😆
