There was quite a good sketch by Not The Nine O'Clock News which reversed that debate, in which the film The Life of Christ is accused of parodying the revered Monty Python.

- sjwright 7y agoI had seen the debate but not that sketch. Utterly brilliant. For reference and completeness, here is the debate it parodies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3GcPrW9xg&t=190 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3GcPrW9xg&t=190 (Brace yourself for a classy joke at 4:50)
- juhanima 7y agoThanks for the link! I'm just watching the debate, and it seems both sides kind of got a point for a while. There they are, the sceptics, clowns or rational thinkers on the other side, who I root for instinctively, and the pompous stiffs on the other. But I think the stiffs also had something going on for them with their idea of some awe and humility - and excellent pronounciation. Gotta love the civilized ways of a British debate! Seems like it was only after John Cleese made a more seriours thrust that the stiffs got scared and went into a hedgehodge defense and it all turned boring and ridiculous. Vintage!
- Quekid5 7y agoWow. NTNOCN could be quite hit and miss, but that sketch was absolutely spot on.
