A well crafted sitcom episode is a thing of beauty, to be sure, but it’s the sketch which is the 7″ single of comedy, perhaps.
I saw this recently on a repeat channel. Not having seen it in a couple of decades, the meat of the thing was fixed in my mind, but I’d forgotten how deftly the first part entices you into the heavy punches of the latter part..
Go on, post a comedy sketch that tickles you..

I love the start of that episode where they’re discussing how to spot German parachutists disguised as nuns. Fraser suggests that Germans would have hairy legs whereas real nuns wouldn’t.
Godfrey: “I don’t think I should like to look at a nun’s legs, Mr Mainwaring.”
Mainwaring: “This is war, Godfrey, you’ll just have to force yourself.”
