I’ve been looking for this for years online — Monty Python’s classic International Philosophy football match, Greeks vs. the Germans.
“This is Nietzsche’s third booking in four games.”

Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

That’s one of my favorite Python sketches, especially the line “Beckenbauer, he’s a bit of a surprise”. Karl Marx also figures in another one, where he, Mao, Che and Lenin answer questions about English football to have a chance to win the non-materialistic lounge suite. “Coventry City have *never* won the FA Cup!”.
Ah, the Hollywood Bowl gigs! I was in the boxes with my dad and two friends and we were very happy when John Cleese stopped nearby in the middle of hawking albatross for sale and said to someone “You shouldn’t smoke that stuff, it’ll give you brain damage”. A brilliant night.
