Den eneste værdi er, at det er tysk. Det i sig selv er absurd og det er det "kultiske", ikke andet

"Bustenhalter" is now my favourite German word.

The humor's a little harsher than in the normal version, but the Bosche didn't like it very much, so these are all that were produced. The only skit that was recycled is Michael Palin singing the lumberjack song (this time he does it in German). A few traditional virtues and a lot of the traditional defects of Python: some clever and funny bits, but also a lot of dry stretches. Quite honestly, I didn't like 'em that much either

German remake of some Flying circus shorts. The twist was that all the actors performed it in German although they did not speak it, only John Cleese was able to speak German to some degree.

Monty Python sketches performed in phonetic German. Typically bizarre stuff from the Pythons.
