That last bit is very true. We read this sketch as a class in our media studies class. "The common property of comedy" seems like a very deserving title

From left to right : Michael Palin (a Yorkshireman in real life), Eric Idle, Graham Chapman (deceased,sadly) and Terry Jones. There's another version of this on YouTube with John Cleese, Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor among the actors. I don't know who actually wrote this sketch but I don't think it's the exclusive brainchild of Monty Python. I think it's unofficially regarded as 'the common property of comedy' - which is a good thing in my view.

I think it originated on the frost report

It originated in "At last the 1948 Show".
