One of my favs has to be the skit done along with the "Special Olympics", which, for
background, is done every 3.6 years gathers nearly 1,000,000 of the world's nations
together.
Events included:
100m dash for the death.
110m hurdles for people with no sense of direction.
100m freestroke for non-swimmers.
But my favorite:
The 26.2 Mile Marathon for people with incredibly weak bladders.
Following the runners the announcer is calling out the action, and, while running
on the road (right next to a forest) the runners keep disappearing and reappearing
from said forest, with the announcer in a hysterical frenzy trying to keep the leader-
board straight. Just plain hilarious.
Favs: Michael Palin, John Cleese. If you notice, they're the two characters most
seen in basically all of their greatest skits.
"Wanna go back to my place?"
Parrot Sketch
Lumberjack (Palin, no Cleese.)
Among many many others.
