ends the song. During the song, men and women dressed in stereotypical Scandinavian garb slap each other with fish, very similar to the original sketch. The Swedish comedy team Angne & Svullo did their own version of the fish slapping dance in one episode of their popular TV show in the late 1980s. The sketch starts the same as the original: first Angne slaps Svullo a few times in the face with small fish, then Svullo takes out a big fish and with a single blow knocks Angne into the water, laughing hysterically. However, in their version an old lady with an umbrella then comes by and starts hitting Svullo with her umbrella until he too falls into the water. In an interview, George Harrison's son, Dhani Harrison, said that the Fish-Slapping Dance was one of his father's favourite Monty Python sketches. The Australian satirical TV show The Chaser's War on Everything did a "British comedy sketch" that mainly parodied Monty Python. At one point, someone is slapped with a fish. In Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie, one of the "sins" of the Ninevites is that they slap people with fish, even slapping each other with fish (at which mention two Ninevites proceed to slap each other with increasingly huge fish, cumulating with the second Ninevite crushing the first Ninevite with an impossibly large fish). The commentary track to the DVD confirms the inspiration for this to be the Monty Python sketch. On 14 March 2012, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's comedy show Adam Hills in Gordon Street Tonight did a sketch where a 15-year-old audience member performed the Fish-Slapping Dance with John Cleese. On 27 December 2020, the online version of The Guardian brought a caricature of Boris Johnson's EU Trade Deal in the form of a fish slapping dance with credit to Monty Python.
