comment
Stage revue show written by and (originally) starring two Cambridge grads, Peter Cook and Jonathan Miller and two Oxford grads, Dudley Moore and Alan Bennett. Debuted at the Edinburgh Festival in the Summer of 1960 and later enjoyed long runs in the West End and Broadway. Considered the Pet Sounds to the Monty Python's Sgt. Pepper (interestingly a snippet from a recording of the show was used on Sgt. Peppernote The audience laughter and applause in "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was taken from the recording of Beyond the Fringe's audience by George Martin, who produced both albums.) and the emergence of the modern British Comedy movement of the 1960s.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Black Comedy: In a parody of post-war British WW2 films, Peter Cook as a senior RAF officer orders Jonathan Miller to go on what amounts to a suicide mission, because the war isn't going too well and "we need a futile gesture at this point":

After the End: In "Civil War", a heckler (Moore) asks when public transport services will resume following a nuclear holocaust. (As soon as possible, but it will be a skeleton service.)

As Long as It Sounds Foreign: "Die Flabbergast" and "The Weill Song", both parody/pastiche songs (of Schubert and Weill respectively) in mock-German.
