* {{Gasshole}}: One Terry Gilliam animation shows a fancy-dress party. A woman excuses herself to "powder her nose". Cue at least fifteen seconds of fart sounds along with very masculine grunting.
** "The Most Awful Family In Britain" sketch features Terry Jones as the family father, sitting with his trousers down on a commode at the kitchen table. There are no rude sounds, but he's eating a plate of baked beans and occasionally waves a magazine behind him as if fanning the air.

* GilliganCut: In one sketch, a man and a woman are hugging and kissing while lying on a public sidewalk. The woman asks the man if her father can come to live with them. The man agrees, but when she says that her father will be sleeping in the same bed with them he says "No. I'm not having that. " and "No! No! No!". This is followed by a quick cut to all three of them in bed together.

* PoliceAreUseless: One of the Pythons' favourite targets was the British Police. Almost every policeman is stupid and/or insane. A good example is the sketch "I Wish To Report A Burglary." Someone goes to the police station to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin report a burglary]], but due to some issues, HilarityEnsues as he is shuffled from officer to officer, all the while frustrating the man by forcing him to make his report in different vocal registers.

* ContinuityAnnouncement: Spoofing continuity announcements are a regular element. "Now on BBC television, a choice of viewing. On BBC 2—a discussion on censorship between Derek Hart, the Bishop of Woolwich, and a nude man. And on BBC 1— me telling you this."
