- Live from the Grill-O-Mat
Live from the Grill-O-Mat is a Monty Python's Flying Circus episode from Series 2. This show aired October 27, 1970 and was recorded September 10, 1970). The episode featured several sketches including "Blackmail", "Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things", "Accidents Sketch (Prawn Salad Ltd.)" and "The Butcher Who is Alternately Rude and Polite"
"Blackmail"
This sketch features Michael Palin wearing a leopard-print jacket as the host of a television show which attempts to blackmail its viewers by showing pictures and video of them engaging in compromising acts of a sexual nature.
"Accidents Sketch (Prawn Salad Ltd.)"
The Accidents Sketch is a Monty Python skit having Eric Idle plays an innocent looking but seamingly accident prone man who happens to enter an establishment called 'Prawn Salad Ltd', where he, again seemingly, sets off a series of catastrophic events.
During the course of about a minute of sketch time, Idle's character breaks an expensive mirror, knocks over an ornate bookcase, fatally stabs the maid, causes the handy man to fall out the window to his death, induces an investigating policeman into a fatal heart attack, collapses the roof in on the butler who was trying to help the policeman, and finally, causes the entire 'Prawn Salad Ltd' building to explode.
The punchline of the skit is that while everyone in the sketch is convinced of the Idle character's complicity, the viewer is perfectly aware of his absolute, though poorly timed, innocence in this bizarre series of events.
