he has done some very funny, very effective corporate training film. i saw one years ago.. funniest part, most of the employees (young) knew cleese from python, management bought the tape because it was well reviewed, and didn't have a clue!
and alexis, we have had 'spam threads' that were all about the spam cafe, not the unwanted email type, and other thread, talking about our favorite bit.. (from python, not just cleese, but fawlty towels bits got included too. manual's use of english did sort of fit in here.. and goodness knows, sheep had staring roles in python, and here.)

personally, i liked crunchy frog...
