I know how the Pythons avoided punchlines like the plague, but I couldn't help but laugh at Chapman's "Blimey! Whatever did I give the wife?" the hardest. That man really packed a punchline!
What? You really did not find it funny when the Customs Officer said "You couldn't smuggle a grease-proofed paper"?? He summarized briefly everything that showed how bad the smuggler was at his job --- and then made it clear how he himself could not do his own job either. That is funny.

After their job is done, they revert back into 3 puffer fish, and live the rest of their lives in the Atlantic Ocean!
This is one of those Python sketches where I always suspect it's based on a real-life event covered in the British press that I wasn't privy to. Another one is the Air Force base sketch ("Nice base you got here, shame if something...happened to it...").
“I’ve smuggles bombs, cameras, etc., you name it, I’ve smuggled it!!” “You’re not a real smuggler. Move along.” “Poor fellow, I think he needs help.” “Right, cut the wisecracks, vicar, get to the search rooms and strip.” Tbh that sounds just like something US customs would do
Humor and what we think is funny changes and evolves over time. I'm 62 and remember thinking Monte Python was hilarious and I still do, but it's different now.
The Smuggler is my favorite Python sketch. It's chunky and has rhythm. Many little jokes that build up to not one but two punchlines. Cleese admired Palin and always came to life when they did sketches together. Cleese only tolerated Chapman and still subtlety disparages him to this day.
What? Where do you base that Cleese disliked Chapman? And "berates him to this day"? His dead friend and co-worker? Are you sure you haven't got that mixed up or something?
