    There was a show in the UK in the 70's called The Goodies. A man died from laughter while watching the show. It is a sort of win all round, the man died in complete joy watching his favourite show and obviously found what was on especially funny. The Goodies ( a comedy trio ) got a hell of a boast that their show was so funny it actually killed someone. He actually died of heart failure but the laughter was what put excess pressure on his heart. ---- If you want to look up the story type in Kung Fu Kapers The goodies.

      You beat me to it... I was going to mention this exact event.
      A haven't looked it up, as you suggested, but from my recollection, I believe the fatal joke was the "Ecky Thump" sketch, which I remember laughing at as a kid (I was a Goodies fan, not so much into Monty Python) and hearing years later that a man had died laughing whilst watching the show, his demise being reported by his wife at the time.
      To be fair, it was a funny(ish) sketch but kinda `of its time', I think you'd agree, and would likely be considered racist or offensive by today's standards!
      For those who don't know: The Goodies was a kind of surreal comedy sketch show featuring three comedians/comic actors named Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor.
      The show was broadcast in the 70s and 80s in the UK.

    That final, poignant ending speech is one of many examples of Python, where the writing, performance, tone, just everything, was absolute perfection. The contrast between the silly premise and the seriousness of the presentation is glorious and is exactly the way a real documentary would be done if the premise was real.

    In the middle of the original run of "Flying Circus" on BBC, WDR in West Germany convinced the Pythons to come over and produce two specials of "Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus". All of it performed in German. Those two specials are cult on top of the cult that is Monty Python's Flying Circus.
    The way Eric Idle presented it during the 1998 30th anniversary gathering of the (surviving) Pythons in Aspen, Colorado (I recommend looking that one up too, the boys are still f'ing hilarious!), was that the Germans besically came to them, like, "Look, we don't have a sense of humour. Can you help us out?"
