A friend's father was quizzing me about this, but I got nothing... Thought it might ring a bell for someone here.

"Ten years or more ago (likely 20 years or more) I saw a satirical program on TV that I thought was supposed to be "Olympics for the Dead". Just a short skit, very funny and outrageous. There was a swimming race, where dead bodies (obviously, not real dead bodies) were thrown into a swimming pool for the swimming contest. I feel almost certain that another event was a high jump, where the bodies were thrown over a bar. It's the sort of thing you'd expect from Monty Python. I doubt that my title for the skit is correct, since I got no hit that way. I just can't believe that there's no trace of that skit somewhere accessible on the Internet, if only a mention of it."

Does anyone know what this might be?
Thanks in advance...

Sounds like Monty Python's Twit Olympics.

A great sketch, but - alas - not the mystery one. I guess the swimming pool thing is a key part of it and the Python bit doesn't have a pool part. Thank you, though...

Sounds like the Silly Olympics from Live At The Hollywood Bowl. Swimming and high jump.
