"Anne Elk's Theory on Brontosauruses" is a sketch from the thirty-first Monty Python's Flying Circus episode, "The All-England Summarize Proust Competition". This skit features Graham Chapman as a television interviewer and John Cleese in drag as the palaeontologist, Anne Elk. The name of Cleese's character could be considered an apt description of Miss Elk's physical attributes. The plot of the skit is that the interviewee, Anne Elk, cannot bring herself to describe the actual crux of her supposed new palaeontological theory on dinosaurs, specifically brontosauruses; she spends a lot of time circuitously leading up to the "theory of dinosaurs by Anne Elk bracket Miss brackets", making assertions like "My theory, which belongs to me, is mine."

| - "Anne Elk's Theory on Brontosauruses" is a sketch from the thirty-first Monty Python's Flying Circus episode, "The All-England Summarize Proust Competition". This skit features Graham Chapman as a television interviewer and John Cleese in drag as the palaeontologist, Anne Elk. The name of Cleese's character could be considered an apt description of Miss Elk's physical attributes. The plot of the skit is that the interviewee, Anne Elk, cannot bring herself to describe the actual crux of her supposed new palaeontological theory on dinosaurs, specifically brontosauruses; she spends a lot of time circuitously leading up to the "theory of dinosaurs by Anne Elk bracket Miss brackets", making assertions like "My theory, which belongs to me, is mine." It turns out that in the end Miss Elk's new theory on brontosauruses is rather shallow, at best. Her true concern is that she receive full credit for devising this new theory stating, "That is the theory that I have and which is mine and what it is, too." This skit was also performed on the album, 'Monty Python's Previous Record', under the title 'Miss Anne Elk'.
