example Nr 3, The Argument Clinic Monty Python 1972
The best Monty Python sketches have always revolved around a go-nowhere argument — a pet-shop clerk telling a customer his parrot's not dead, King Arthur arguing with a serf over whether she's his subject — so it's fitting that they eventually got around to "The Argument Clinic," in which a man pays a professional arguer (John Cleese) to have an argument with him. The argument becomes about what exactly constitutes an argument — the client thinks it's a collective series of statements that constitute a proposition, and Cleese thinks, no, it isn't.
