I’ve always loved that scene, especially when Cleese holds his to the the throat until he gets the grammar right.

The Pythons were classically educated Oxbridge graduates. If you've ever had to study Greek or Latin in school, that scene is absolutely hilarious.

I had to translate part of a Greek tragedy for a class once. I stumbled over one word and after a couple hours finally figured out the root and found it in the big Liddell Greek-English lexicon. It had one entry referring to the exact line I was looking at with a surmised translation, because that was the only known occurrence of the word in ancient Greek literature.
