The Contradiction sketch from "Monty Python's Previous Record" Host (John Cleese): With me now is Norman St. John Polevaulter, who for the last few years has been contradicting people. St. John Polevaulter, why do you contradict people? Polevaulter (Graham Chapman): I don't! Host: But you... you told me that you did. Polevaulter: I most certainly did not! Host: Oh. I see. I'll start again. Polevaulter: No you won't! Host: Ssh! I understand you don't contradict people. Polevaulter: Yes I do! Host: And when didn't you start contradicting them? Polevaulter: I did! In 1952! Host: 1952. Polevaulter: 1947! Host: 23 years ago. Polevaulter: No!
