Deliver us from UKIP
There was an amusing article in the DM shortly before the original Leave date of March 2019. It mentioned the Church of England's proposed five days of prayer to mark our departure from the EU. There was some speculation about what form a special Brexit service given by Archbishop Justin Welby might take, including this: Our father, who art in Brussels,
Juncker be thy name
Thy kingdom runs
Thy will be done
In London as it is in Strasbourg.
Give us this day
A customs union
And forgive us our referendum
As we will never forgive those who voted against us.
And lead us not out of the backstop
But deliver us from Ukip
For the EU is the kingdom
The power and the gravy train
For ever and ever
Amen.

Rowan Atkinson sings the Remainers' National Anthem
Mr Bean sings Beethoven's Ode to Joy as it has never been sung before and with any luck will never be again.
He has lost most of the score so just sings random German words. The result is very funny indeed.
There is a transcription in the comments:

The Lumberjack Song in German
The Lumberjack Song, where the chorus is dressed in the red uniforms of the Canadian Mounted Police, is a Monty Python classic.
The Pythons created a German version for German and Austrian TV in 1972. Michael Palin learned the words phonetically.
Unfortunately the film quality here isn't very good, but it does have sub-titles:

Stolen Humpty
Humpty Dumpty has appeared in the Epstein and some royal threads. Now he is in the news: “Police in Wisconsin are attempting to locate a $1,400 bronze sculpture of nursery rhyme character Humpty Dumpty sitting on a toilet. The Madison Police Department said the sculpture, named Dumpty Humpty, was stolen from an Art Fair on the Square vendor's booth. The vendor said she had seen two men lingering around her booth while she was setting up Saturday and the sculpture vanished along with the men when she left the stand for a short time.” www.upi.com/Odd_News/2021/09/29/Dumpty-Humpty-sculpture-stolen-Madison-Wisconsin-Art-Fair-on-the-Square/6061632931946/

Another stolen Humpty
From 2017: “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men are scanning Facebook, Craigslist and eBay for a Humpty Dumpty bronze sculpture stolen from the San Diego County Fair art competition. The 15-20-pound statue that received an honorable mention was perched on a display case shelf in the grandstand area when it disappeared between 9:30 and 10 p.m. Friday. The fair has security personnel and cameras positioned throughout the fair and have checked the surveillance footage. In addition, a theft report was filed with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, which has a presence throughout the fair’s run... “The victimized local artist, Paul Lotz, said: “Some bad egg chose to ruin it.” “I’m all cracked up,” said the 51-year-old artist... “My mind is scrambled that someone poached my egg.” “ timesofsandiego.com/arts/2017/06/27/stolen-humpty-dumpty-art-found-at-kobeys-filched-from-fair/

The Lambeth Walk propaganda film
The Lambeth Walk dance, which appears in the thread about the Sussexes, was used to make fun of the Germans in a short British WW II propaganda film.
The Nazi Party condemned many modern dances; they declared the Lambeth Walk 'animalistic hopping' when it became popular in Berlin in 1938.
The film of Nazis appearing to perform the dance allegedly infuriated Joseph Goebbels so much that he ran out of the screening room kicking chairs and screaming profanities!

Food for work project for crows
“Crows will be sent to pick up discarded cigarette butts and other forms of litter from the streets of a Swedish city. The 'easier to teach' wild birds are being trained through a step-by-step process to pick up rubbish and place it into a machine which will dispense food for them in the city of Södertälje...” magpiejack would like this: “Mr Günther-Hanssen said the foundation had so far used hooded crows to train but magpies and jackdaws are also expected to soon be a part of the project.” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10467263/Sweden-deploys-easy-teach-CROWS-pick-cigarette-butts-city-streets.html

Re-enactment of a scene in Spare
Prince Harry gives an account in his memoirs of a time when Prince William attacked him and ripped off his necklace. He then fell onto a dog bowl and broke it.
The scene has been filmed, with 'Prince Harry' doing a very good voice-over.
Two princes have a fight:

Holy Hand Grenade!
Seeing King Charles holding the Orb at his coronation has reminded many people of Monty Python's Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
Here is the original sketch:

Don't you ever interrupt me while I'm reading a book!
US Actor and comedian Julian Smith has a brilliant song on YouTube in which his sinister character speaks for all people who hate being interrupted while reading.

A really awful performance from Piers Corbyn
Piers Corbyn sang Dont tek di vaccine with anti-vaxx rapper Remeece at a anti-lockdown protest in London in 2021.
Mr Corbyn can be heard rapping ‘mamma, pappa, don’t take di vaccine’, ‘resist’, and ‘defy’ – consistently out of time to the beat on this video:
