The Grand Spam Breakfast

Not that stuff in your inbox. Or, the meat product of the same name. We’re talking – Spam – the very popular and forever famous comedy sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The sketch includes, among others, Terry Jones, Eric Idle and Graham Chapman, Michael Palin and John Cleese.

First broadcast in 1970, the sketch involves two breakfast hungry
customers trying to order from a menu consisting almost entirely of Spam (the meat product). The entire sketch lasts only three minutes but the word Spam is spoken no less than 132 times. And, only Monty Python could include a loud group of Vikings singing – “Spam, lovely Spam, wonderful Spam.”
