Do you think this is the best?

This sketch involves John Cleese as the Minister (or senior civil servant) of a fictitious British government agency responsible for developing Silly Walks through grants. Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways, and it is this more than the dialogue that has earned the sketch its popularity. As Minister, he is presented with a “walk in progress” by one Mr. Pudey (Michael Palin) — which turns out to be actually not that silly. The Minister tells Pudey that he does not believe the Ministry can help him, as his walk is not silly enough, and funding is short. The government, he explains, is supposed to give equally to Defence, Social Security, Health, Housing, Education, and Silly Walks, but recently has been underfunding his department. The Minister later explains that Mr. Pudey may find work with the Anglo-French silly walk, La Marche Futile (an obvious parody of the Concorde’s Anglo-French development). As the years went by, Cleese was finding it increasingly difficult to perform these walks. He’d say, when told about a new Python Tour “I’m not doing silly walks”.
