Episode eight was simply brilliant. Every sketch was cut off before the punchline, a classic Python move that could almost be trademarked. The themes of the sketches were fantastic, from the military unit facing racketeering to the bed and mattress shopping, and especially the mischievous seniors. But the standout was definitely the "Dead Parrot" sketch, with John Cleese and especially Michael Palin at their best. I have a feeling this sketch serves as a training video for customer service reps dealing with complaints.
