Dad's Pooves is a sketch that appears in "A Book at Bedtime," the thirty-eighth episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Synopsis[]

The BBC continuity voiceover (Eric Idle) announces another new show, 'Dad's Pooves'. A clip plays of a poof (Terry Gilliam) cooking dinner, welcoming his husband home and starts whipping him with a string of sausages.

More whacky shows include 'On the Dad's Liver Bachelors at Large', 'The Ratings Game', 'Up the Palace' and 'Limestone Dear Limestone'.

Trivia[]

  • The pooves in 'Dad's Pooves' is probably a reference to Poofy Judges.
