Perhaps the most notorious of the Python team's television sketches, the Undertaker's sketch (written by Graham Chapman and John Cleese) concerns a man (Cleese) taking his dead mother (in a sack) to an undertaker's office. The undertaker (Chapman) suggests they can "bury 'er or burn 'er", both of which are "nasty", but when the son shows the undertaker his mother's body and sees that the dead woman "looks quite young", he tells his assistant, Fred (Idle) that he thinks they've "got an eater". The grieving son is understandably shocked by the idea of eating his mother's corpse, but when the undertaker suggests digging a grave for him to throw up into (in case he feels "a bit guilty afterwards"), he agrees.
