      @@weckar I agree, I find it hilarious, in part despite its racism, and in part because it's so ridiculously over-the-top racist. Part of it is me laughing _at_ it now, rather than with it but even so, it's still enjoyable.
      That said, it's a problem not because it's "not PC", but because, well, unironically characterising Chinese people the way they do is pretty harmful. We're smart enough to know the difference between this and reality, but not everyone knows exactly where the lines are and that could cause issues. Not saying that people actually think the Chinese are as depicted in this episode, but reinforcing negative stereotypes is generally harmful anyway.
      I realise I'm overthinking it a little, but I don't want to just sit by an leave discrimination unchallenged. I'm a fan of old, offensive media myself, but it's important always to have a little asterisk next to it to say "while this is funny, but also represents some outdated and disrespectful ideas".

      John Pugh The Python crew are poking fun at the practice of mock executions as psychological torture in Russia during the Tsarist and Soviet periods. Dostoevsky, for instance, was a victim of a mock execution, he and his fellow intellectuals in the Petrashevsky Circle having been pardoned at the last minute by the Tsar, but the prison officials chose to carry out the form of execution anyway, but without live ammunition as a warning to them over supposed secret plotting. Konstantin Rokossovsky, who would become one of the Soviet Union's better generals in WWII, was arrested during the Anti-Soviet Trotskyist Military Organization purge, due to his place in the reformist wing of the Red Army, and tortured physically, and psychologically--having to endure multiple mock-executions (Solzhenitsyn reported two) where everyone around him was shot but he was spared. Incidentally, Rokossovsky would subsequently wear a pistol at all times, saying that he would not surrender if they came for him a second time.
      Recall that the Python crew were--and are--history buffs.

    This episode aged beautifully. Michael Palin's character could now live as a Schweyk-like tourist, escaping shark attacks, poisoned mousaka, cheating waiters, terrorist attacks, lockdowns due covid...
