Could you elaborate? Looks like a UK television thing from the 70s. I'm not familiar with UK television culture references.

it’s a cult comedy TV program from the UK. They had a very special kind of humor, with a strong taste for the absurd.

In one of their sketch, spanish inquisitors would just pop out of nowhere and start wrecking havoc. Hence saying « nobody expects the spanish inquisition ».

You know something has reached a high level of absurdity whenever it makes you think of one of monty python’s program.
