Although the German V-Joke was feared by the Britons, it never really had the combat effectiveness of the original.

I came across this in my surfings this morning. Here is the blurb that accompanies a video of celeb favorite Python moments:
Monty Python was first aired on British television screens on October 5 1969. Famous for the ministry of silly walks and the dead parrot sketch, the legacy of the series lives on.
The BBC spoke to Ricky Gervais, Justin Lee Collins, Jeremy Clarkson and Stephen Merchant to find out their favourite Monty Python moments.

Holy Hand Grenade!!!
A moose once bit my sister!
“What’s so special about the cheese makers?”
I have both the DVD and the original screenplay.
Great for picking apart the best piece of satire of the 1970s.
THE CHEESE SHOP!!!!!!!!
Customer(after naming every type of cheese possible, only to find the cheese shop has none): “It’s not much of a cheese shop, is it?” Vendor: “Finest in the district, sir!” Customer: “Explain the logic underlying that conclusion, please.” Vendor: “Well, it’s so clean, sir.”
Customer: “It’s certainly uncontaminated by cheese!”
Cleese was/is my favorite Python!
Mr. Wiggin: ...I see. Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig ignorance I’ve come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker’s cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement, you whining hypocritical toadies with your colour TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding masonic secret handshakes. You wouldn’t let me join, would you, you BLACK BALLING BASTARDS!!!. Well I wouldn’t become a Freemason if you went down on your stinking knees and begged me.
Client 2: We’re sorry you feel that way but we did want a block of flats, nice though the abattoir is.
Mr. Wiggin: Oh sod the abattoir, that’s not important. (He dashes forward and kneels in front of them.) But if any of you could put in a word for me I’d love to be a mason. Masonry opens doors. I’d be very quiet, I was a bit on edge just now but if I were a mason I’d sit at the back and not get in anyone’s way.
Client 1: (politely) Thank you.
Mr. Wiggin: ...I’ve got a second-hand apron.
Client 2: Thank you.
(Mr. Wiggin hurries to the door but stops...)
Mr. Wiggin: I nearly got in at Hendon.
Client 1: Thank you.
“I want to buy some CHEEESE!”
Although the German V-Joke was feared by the Britons, it never really had the combat effectiveness of the original.
Funny stuff. The Cheese Shop sketch is one of my all-time favorites. The typical day in the boring life of a big city stock broker was also pretty funny.
Some of my other favorites included:
The Spanish Inquisition;
Dead Parrot;
World’s Funniest Joke and Joke Warfare;
The space creatures that turned everybody into Scottsmen in order to win Wimbledon;
The Lumberjack Song
“I wanted to beeeee.. a LUMBERJACK!”
Nigerian email scammers tricked into performing Monty Pythons “Dead Parrot”

My hovercraft is full of eels.
...And now for something completely different...
"The Bishop"
"Spanish Inquisition"
"Upper Class Twit Of The Year"
"Argument Clinic"
"Funniest Joke In The World (the Killer Joke)"
.... just to rattle some off the top of me 'ead
Let me tell you, if you’re trying to get a bunch of youngsters moving and say: “Grab your egg n’ fours and let’s get the bacon delivered...” You’ll get some mighty strange looks.
Darn kids nowdays....
