Albatross (Monty Python sketch)

From Freepedia

The Albatross sketch is a Monty Python routine that was usually performed during their live shows.

In the sketch as immortalized in the movie Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl, John Cleese, dressed as a cigarette girl with a strap-on sales case, wanders through the audience offering a (stuffed) albatross as if it were a normal part of the venue's concessions. An audience member (played by Terry Jones as a bowler-hat and suited older gentleman) then approaches Cleese in the middle of one of the aisles and attempts to purchase ice cream bars from him, but the only thing Cleese/cigarette girl has to offer is the albatross. Jones/audience member inquires as to the flavor of the albatross, to which Cleese protests, "It isn't any bloody flavor!" or "It's bleedin' albatross flavor, ya cunt!" (the responses tended to vary from show to show). Finally, when Jones asks for two albatrosses, Cleese gets upset and replies, "I've only got one, you cocksucker!" At this point, Graham Chapman, dressed as The Colonel, runs onstage and demands that the sketch be stopped because of "filthy" language, and that Jones get onstage and join Eric Idle the next skit (Nudge nudge).

In an early version of the albatross sketch on the 1974 album Monty Python Live At City Center, Cleese's ranting is interrupted by the Colonel right after he calls Jones' character a cunt for asking what flavor the albatross is.
