...Cannot Be Seen

Taken from a Monty Python sketch based on a pseudo-public-service film entitled "How Not to be Seen." It's one of those things you have to see for yourself, but the combination of implausible names (at least one of which is unmentionable in an all-ages crowd for lurid reasons), ridiculous situations (people getting shot if they show themselves or blown up if they don't), and over-the top cartoon violence have made it a surreal classic.

And whenever a screengrab shows a seemingly barren or uninhabited stretch of scenery, Cappers would often reference this sketch with "How Not To Be Seen" or "(So-and-So) cannot be seen."
