Question for Monty Python Fans

[BDawg]

For Christmas, I received the complete Flying Circus box set. However, there is one skit I'm specifically looking for.

If you've seen the Flying Circus collection comercials on TV, it's among the skits shown.

In this skit, Michael Palin is dressed in a straw hat and a pink and white striped sports coat. He's holding racket of some sorts. Suddenly, the ball, shuttlecock or whatever strikes him in the eye and blood gushes.

A friend says it's a skit done a la Martin Scorcese, but he didn't know the name either. Anyone have a clue?

 

[Brutuskend]

Nope, sorry.

"the larch!"

Sam Peckinpah's 'Salad Days'

Season 3, episode #7

 

[DDad]

Gag Halfrunt is correct

 

[BDawg]

YES!

That's the one I was looking for. Also, that episode has the cheese shop skit, which I was also looking for. Thanks a ton!

That's one great episode. I'd seen the first two skits before on A&E.

"Funny, he looks like a poof."

I love this Python Box set.

Just picked up the Holy Grail Special Edition dvd and the 2 Disc Live dvd (Hollywood Bowl and HBO special) yesterday at Best Buy. Good stuff.

I saw that set in the store while shopping for DVDs for someone else. I was REALLY tempted to pick it up for myself, but it was $150, I think. I will get it eventually, maybe when I get my income taxes done.

"It's certainly uncontaminated by cheese!" LOL!
