    • Trivia
      According to John Cleese, the troupe went to tour the Dachau concentration camp after filming one day. When they arrived, however, they were told that the camp was closed for the evening, so they wouldn't be allowed in. Graham Chapman suggested, "Tell them we're Jewish."

      News Anchor: What is it with all these older men chasing fit young women? Are they eating too much fresh fruit?

      Expert: [Clown attire, long nose, has a Camel on a leash] Maybe they're just confused...

    A Feeling of happiness

    Can you get any funnier this really shows people they we'rent just known in England but Germany as well. Imagine that they not only took time to look through the German landscape but also learned the language. Saturday night Live certinley would not go that far to do something like that. Real classic gems. I wish they would have made more of them.
