Is SPAM Made Out of Python Meat?

Spam (Monty Python)

>From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Terry Jones, Eric Idle, and Graham Chapman in the Monty Python skit
"Spam".Spam is a popular Monty Python sketch, first broadcast in 1970.
In the sketch, two customers are trying to order a breakfast from a
menu that includes the processed meat product in almost every item. The
term spam (in electronic communication) is derived from this sketch
[1].

It features Terry Jones as The Waitress, Eric Idle as Mr. Bun and
Graham Chapman as Mrs. Bun. The televised skit also featured John
Cleese as The Hungarian, but this part was left out of audio recordings
of the sketch.

Only three and a half minutes long, it builds up into a semi-argument
between the waitress who has a menu limited to having SPAM in just
about everything ("SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, sausage, eggs and SPAM"),
and Mrs. Bun, who is the only one in the room who does not want it
(despite there being some items mentioned that do not actually include
SPAM, she nevertheless asks for an item with SPAM in it).

At several points, a group of Vikings in the restaurant (referred to as
the Green Midget Café) interupt conversation by loudly singing "SPAM,
lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM." They are interrupted by the waitress
several times, but they resume singing more and more loudly until at
last the song reaches an operatic climax.

In the end credits, every member of the crew has either SPAM or some
other food item from the menu added to their names.

This was the final sketch of the 25th show of Monty Python's Flying
Circus, and was first aired December 15, 1970. Despite its shortness,
the sketch became immensely popular. The word "SPAM" is uttered at
least 132 times.

Nice copy and paste, I see SPAM has gotten your attention. Continue to
obsess over SPAM. It suits you well.
