Communist Quiz by Monty Python (1970)
. Source. Has a Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Forum/Communist_Quiz. Brings to mind: Video "Football, Football, Football by Mitchell and Webb".Philosophers' Football Match by Monty Python (1972)
. Source. If you can understand the jokes, your philosophy level is pretty good. Like more than zero. Wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Philosophers%27_Football_Match. Ciro loves how that page currently uses a standard footbal match template to describe the match!
