I think Monty Python also did something similar when they refilmed a few episodes in German.

Well, I guess it's true what they say: comedy truly is a universal language...even if it does require a bit of phonetically memorized babbling.

Not really the same as they were nearly all new sketches especially written for the German production.

Only the first of the two German Monty Python specials was filmed in German. They found it very difficult so when they did the second one they just recorded it in English and let other people dub their lines into German afterwards.
