The “Dead Parrot Sketch”, alternatively and originally known as the “Pet Shop Sketch” or “Parrot Sketch”, is a sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus about a non-existent species of parrot, called a “Norwegian Blue”. A satire on poor customer service, it was written by John Cleese and Graham Chapman and initially performed in the show’s first series, in the eighth episode (“Full Frontal Nudity”, which first aired 7 December 1969).
The sketch portrays a conflict between disgruntled customer Mr Praline (played by Cleese) and a shopkeeper (Michael Palin), who argue whether or not a recently purchased parrot is dead.
Over the years, Cleese and Palin have performed many versions of the “Dead Parrot” sketch for television shows, record albums, and live performances. “Dead Parrot” was voted the top alternative comedy sketch in a Radio Times poll.
