message: "This sketch may have been an inspiration for "the Inquisition" portion of the movie History of the World Part I." I kind of find this dubious. No connection with the "nobody expects" part, just a skit, and the Inquisition; very thin similarity. Anybody else agree? 
Given Brooks' Judeocentricity and the Inquisition's relative prominence in the history of European Jewry, I would guess that's where it came from. Gzuckier 15:29, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Is it possible to make a video or audio sample like for the Beatles albums without copyright problems ?

:So long as it's relatively short, my understanding is that it shouldn't be a problem as it would fall under fair use. I think audio would be preferable to video though, just for reasons of size. --Camembert
:10 or 15 second video in small picture format are not that big but which format could be used ?
I think audio is better.
Ericd
:I like the sample. :-) --Mrwojo
::Thanks ;-) --Ericd
I think somebody on the mailing list a while ago mentioned that there was no obvious candidate format for video clips, and I really don't know what would be best to use. But I agree that audio is better in this case anyway. --Camembert
::Xvid with ogg sound might become a good solution ?

Which Batman comic did this appear in?  Was it before or after the Monty Python sketch?  Important questions that need to be addressed here. Ed Sanville 15:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The audiotest.au file is wrongly attributed to Mac OS X. That file is part of the Python language distribution, and as such, is available in any OS which ships Python.
:Indeed, I just tried on my gentoo and /usr/lib/python2.4/test/audiotest.au is the same recording as on my mac os x computer. --83.181.55.156 (talk) 10:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

message: Would it be appropriate to include the date of this sketch in the article somewhere? I had to go to Monty Python just to get an idea of the general time in which this was broadcast, and I still only have a rough idea, not the precise year. WDavis1911 (talk) 21:22, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Should we include the Cardinal_Fang Twitter bot? It seems relevant to tying this into furthering the relevancy of this sketch in pop culture.

message: "one of the cross beams has gone out askew on the treadle" - this is not only incorrect, it also makes no sense. You don't go "out askew".
Ignoring phonetic Yorkshire dialect, the correct phrase should be "one of the cross beams has gone out of skew on the treadle".
Oh, alright, what is actually said, phonetically, is "one of t' cross beams has gone out of skew on t' treadle" ;-)
