The Naked Ant

After some weirdness involving a bear on a train, we get Palin as the manic host of a current affairs show, followed by a boarding house welcoming a rather familiar-looking Austrian and his companions...

Casting Cleese as Hitler - sorry, Hilter - seems obvious now, but keep in mind that this was less than 25 years after the Second World War. It's a bit like having a sketch with Bin Laden at a B&B.

After another weird sketch involving a police station and funny voices, we get the most famous sketch of this episode: The Upper-Class Twit Of The Year Show. To North American audiences, the "Twits" just seem like an excuse for the Pythons to act silly, but as more than one fan has said, to Brits it's practically a documentary.
