Talk:Spam (Monty Python sketch)

"Spam (Monty Pythons Flying Circus sketch)" is a bit cumbersome. Shall we make it Spam (sketch), Spam (Monty Python), or something completely different...? -- Oliver P. 00:09 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

Does anyone call it just "Spam"? How about "Spam sketch" or "The Spam Sketch"? -- Tarquin

Ah, okay... I'll vote for Spam sketch. Argh, I still can't cope with this naming business... -- Oliver P. 00:42 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

Yay

I love this skit!

Discrepancy in menu between audio and video of sketch

The audio of the sketch available at http://www.detritus.org/spam/skit.html and the video from http://linux.gda.pl/pub/spam/ seem to have different menus! Specifically, the video does not have the following menu item:

- Spam, Sausage, Spam, Spam, Spam, Bacon, Spam, Tomato and Spam

and the final menu item in the audio is:

- Lobster Thermidor aux Crevettes with a Mornay sauce Served in a Provençale Manner with Shallots and Aubergines garnished with Truffle Paté, Brandy and a Fried egg on top and Spam,

while in the video it is:

- Lobster Thermidor aux Crevettes with a Mornay sauce garnished with Truffle Paté, Brandy and with a Fried egg on top and Spam,

without the italicized portion.

The transcript of the sketch available from http://www.epicure.demon.co.uk/spamsketch.html seems to support the video rather than the audio.

Would appreciate any light on this issue!

"Spam" vs. "SPAM"

According to the spam.com website, the correct spelling of the product is "SPAM", not "Spam". Unless there's an authentic Monty Python transcript available where they use the spelling "Spam", I think all references to the meat product in the quotes from the skit should be changed to "SPAM".
