(Please let me know if the link is dead.)
The link is to a video containing the bulk of Monty Python's "Argument Clinic" skit.
The intro has been cut:
Man: I'd like to have an argument, please.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: Certainly, sir, have you been here before?
Man: No. This will be my first time.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man: Well, what is the cost?
Argument Clinic Receptionist: Well, it's £1 for a five minute argument, but only £8 for a course of ten.
Man: Well, I think it would be best if I started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment.
Mr. Bakley's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ah yes, try Mr. Barnard, room 12.

No it isn't. It should go away and never come back.
(5 pence, please.)

No link to the Argument clip has been posted, at least none that I could find. As Yogi Berra is fond of saying, "You could look it up."

My bad. (Or is that too conciliatory?) I didn't find it searching for "monty" or "python."
Should anal retentive be hyphenated?

OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.

No you haven't.
But this still isn't an argument.
It's a contradiction.
Well! I never wanted to do this in the first place. I wanted to be... A LUMBERJACK!

He sleeps all night
and he works all day.
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch,
I go to the lavat'ry,
On Wednsdays, I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea

I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
