At the Height of Their Creativity

Warning: Spoilers
Certainly one of their best episode which doesn't contain sketches in the movie, "And Now For Something Completely Different".

Memorably sketches include The Gumbys announcing, "The Architect Sketch", which features John Cleese trying to sell a slaughterhouse in the guise of an apartment building. When his idea is turned down, he gives a long-winded speech complaining about his lack of opportunity because he never became a mason. A group of businessmen are then seen hopping down the sidewalk with their pants down at their ankles, which of course in the world on Monty Python indicates that these businessmen are masons.

Other sketches include The Bishop which wraps around the motor insurance sketch, where claims are never paid. This ripping off of customers causes the bishop to make an appearance to right this wrong. Unfortunately, the bishop always arrives too late to fix the actual problems he's seeking to correct.

Eventually Buzz Aldrin does appear in the closing credits, but only a picture of him in his space suit without the helmet.
