Before my sister got married, her boyfriend at the time was on the phone at the church (I think he was talking to his brother, but I can't really remember). He was supposed to be doing something with me and my brothers, but he was taking a long time on the phone (it was a landline, by the way... cell phones were not yet prevalent). We got bored and went poking around in the church's storage cabinets and found a pair of red graduation-type robes and a drying rack for dishes (like in the skit).
We instantly had the same idea, having seen this skit before. We continued looking until we found something to use as a rope (I think we used an old bungee cord), then got into costume and jumped into the room he was in and shouted "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!"
He had seen the skit before as well, and laughed the entire time we went through our version of it (we must have found a pillow somewhere, because I remember poking him with it after we "tied him to the rack").
They've got four wonderful kids now... in fact their oldest is about the age my sister was when we pulled that little "prank." Good times.

I had experiences in the UK that seemed like Monty Python episodes.
First experience ---
It was the winter of '91. The coldest winter ever.
A blizzard destroyed Brit Rails new trains. Snow was ingested into the electric motors and shorted them out.
People couldn't get to work throughout the realm. They were pissed.
Parliament talked about nothing else.
The nation was at a standstill.
Fortunately, I used a diesel line out of Waterloo Station.
I came home, turned on the telly, and watched the news.
There was Brit Rail spokesman, stiff and wooden (like John Cleese).
A reporter (like Michael Palin) asked him the question
"What happened?"
The Cleese-like spokesman calmly answered ----
"Wrong kind of snow" (actual quote).
I fell on the floor laughing. Composed myself quickly - I did not want to miss the follow-up question. --- (How many kinds of snow are there? What kind of snow were you expecting? etc. ANYTHING.)
But, the reporter turned to the camera and said, "There you have it, wrong kind of snow, and back to you....".
Now, that really happened. Look it up.
That was a real-life Monty Python skit.

I didn't expect this to pop up in my recommends...but no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.
