answer: World Film Company
context: Title: The Ministry of Silly Walks
  Passage: "The Ministry of Silly Walks" is a sketch from the Monty Python comedy troupe's television show "Monty Python's Flying Circus", season 2, episode 1, which is entitled "Face the Press".  The episode first aired at some point in 1970.  A shortened version of the sketch was performed for "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl".

Cleese, throughout the sketch, walks in a variety of silly ways.  It is these various silly walks, more than the dialogue, that has earned the sketch its popularity.  Cleese has cited the physical comedy of Max Wall, probably in character as Professor Wallofski, as important to its conception.
