The Bruces sketch is a famous sketch from the TV show Monty Python's Flying Circus. It involves a group of stereotypical Australians who are members of the Philosophy Department at the fictitious University of Woolamaloo, and all named Bruce, with a common fondness for beer and a hatred of "pooftahs". Terry Jones plays a "pommie" professor, Michael Baldwin, joining the department and meeting his colleagues for the first time.

It is one of the most quoted sketches from the series, partly due to the fact it also featured regularly in the team's stage shows, where it would be capped with a performance of The Philosophers' Song. The song does not feature in the original TV version, which instead ends with the Bruces tucking into juicy steaks ("This should tide us over 'til luchtime!") before returning to that episode's running joke, "how to recognise different parts of the body".
