Dragnet & Drag Racing Today
The most Monty Python sketch that SNL ever did. Hosted by Eric Idle in Season 2, controversial at the time.
It was aired in 1976 and contained:
✔️ Men in drag
✔️ Absurdity
✔️ Switching from video to film and back
✔️ 4th Wall Breaking
✔️ Abrupt ending
In the DRAGNET sketch all the cops were in drag, notably Eric Idle and Dan Aykroyd, until John Belushi breaks the scene to point out that "drag doesn't work in America". They give up on the scene and cut to a short film, which picks up with a drag race between Idle and Aykroyd both running in drag.

A daily newspaper comic strip version of Dragnet distributed by the Los Angeles Mirror Syndicate ran in newspapers from June 23, 1952, to May 21, 1955
Written by Dragnet scripter Jack Robinson (uncredited) with art by Joe Sheiber (June 23, 1952-Sept. 20, 1952), Bill Ziegler (Sept. 22, 1952-January 9, 1954) and Mel Keefer (Jan. 11, 1954-May 21, 1955). Comics historian Ron Goulart, in his book 'The Funnies' states the frequent turnover of artists on the strip was due to Webb's desire to find someone 'who could draw him as good looking as he thought he ought to be.'
While "Dragnet" never made it into comic book form in America (seems like a natural for Dell's Four-Color Comics) there was a five issue comic book published in Australia made up of the newspaper strip in 1954.
