A surreal dud, con or fraud. Probably the most famous Monty Python sketch. A customer returns to a pet shop where he was originally conned into buying a dead parrot. Regardless of the extremes the customer goes to prove the parrot is dead (he even whacks the dead bird off a hard surface) the seller insists the parrot is as still as alive as it was previous. Also known as the blue parrot sketch.
