was then rejected as a script. Eric Idle openly admits the script is confusing, the joke being mostly in the delivery. Reception The phrases, "nudge nudge" and "wink wink", are part of the English lexicon as idiomatic phrases implying sexual innuendo. Elvis Presley was a great fan of Monty Python. In an extra on the Rutles DVD, Idle states that "Nudge Nudge" was Presley's favourite Python sketch and was the origin of Elvis' habit of referring to people as "squire." Idle reprised the sketch in TV advertisements for Breakaway and Nudge chocolate bars, with the punch line changed to include the product name. A reference to this is clearly heard on Monty Python Live at Drury Lane.
