The Ministry of Silly Walks

"The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from Monty Pythons Flying Circus, episode 14. It was also a sketch that was shortened and performed in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl[?].

This sketch involves John Cleese the Minister of Silly Walks being presented with "walk in progress" by one Mr. Pudney Michael Palin—which turns out to be actually not that silly.

There's a brief appearance by Mrs. Twolumps (Carol Cleveland in the Hollywood Bowl version), and for some reason (possibly to display the full range of the ministers silly walks) Terry Jones as a shopkeeper near the beginning of the sketch (not in the Live version).
