Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Graham Chapman

The late Graham Chapman played the poor man, and his main role in the entire sketch is to look sick and run off to blow off chunks. In live versions, such as the recent 'Monty Python: Live, Mostly' special, Parrot was portrayed by Terry Gilliam.

Answer: This is extremely nasty

A simple interaction that will only lead to more outlandish concoctions as the sketch goes on. In comparison to the rest of the sketch, this is pretty tame.

Answer: Iraq

At this point comes the sketch's iconic line of why didn't they take the bones out, 'If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy would it?'

Answer: Almond whirl

In the 'Live, Mostly' sketch, the first run of Superintendent Parrot was changed to an overly long bout of flatulence. Afterwards, Mr. Hilton would give a tirade that they use no artificial preservatives of any kind.

5. What did the officer-in-charge ask Mr. Hilton to replace the legend crunchy frog with?

Answer: Crunchy, raw unboned real dead frog

And that is just his first of such disgusting treats. The overall sketch is a lampooning of the Trade Descriptions Act 1968, an act where manufacturers must provide information on all products, or face prosecution for making false claims about what they are selling.

In this case, the officer claims that there isn't enough being done about the description that there is a frog within the chocolate as Superintendent Parrot demonstrated.

6. Next comes ram's bladder cup, made with a Cornish ram's bladder that has been emptied, steamed, flavored with sesame seeds and whipped into a fondue then garnished with which of the following?

Answer: Lark's vomit

A lark is a species of bird often found in parts of Australia, the Old World and one species in North America. Its known for its amazing songs and calls during mating season as the males try to attract the females, and feed on a diet of insects and seeds. I'm just not too sure if its vomit is prized in a chocolate though.

Answer: Monosodium glutamate

Despite saying he uses no artificial additives in his chocolates, there still is good old MSG in the mix. MSG is a flavor enhancer often used in canned foods, and within Chinese chefs, they like to call it their 'grandmaster' for flavor packing. But in my opinion, use it sparingly.

8. In the sketch, Mr. Hilton would frown in concern after the officer puts his claims that the box must have warnings of dead frogs and lark's vomit. What would Mr. Hilton be concerned with?

Answer: His sales would plummet

Even with selling wretched sweets, his mind is still set on making a profit. After the exchange, the officer would question why he wouldn't go into more conventional confectionery to make those sales, like praline or lime cream.

Answer: True

Mr. Hilton didn't give descriptions to either of these chocolates, but the names alone can only give a sense of horror as to what they contain. 'Cockroach Cluster' would be referenced in the 'Harry Potter' series, coming to life as a sweet treat for the children of Hogwarts, along with chocolate frog.

Answer: Spring Surprise

There is no pleasure if you were to take a bite of this puppy. After one last tirade from the Officer, Mr. Hilton gets taken away to the station for his inadequate descriptions. At the end of it, Parrot would come to the camera and give a short speech on how the general public can be more careful buying sweets, which will help the people spend less time sitting in public lavatories in sickness.
