Torture Torquemada Style

This is a video from Mel Brooks' film History of the World: Part I, and is essentially the entire Spanish Inquisition condensed into an 8-minute song and dance. Quite possibly Mel Brooks' best musical number (I know it's a big call, but this shit's funny), the water torture in particular and that there is no warning that a song is going to start is pretty damn funny.


The pokie machines are pretty awesome and Orson Welles adds a touch of class with the voice-over.
