"Piranha Brothers" is a Monty Python sketch from the first episode of the second series of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The 14th episode of the series overall, it premiered on BBC1 in the United Kingdom on 15 September 1970. The sketch constitutes a loose pastiche of the Richardson gang and the Kray twins, notorious gangsters from the East End of London in the 1950s and 1960s, and the latter's investigation by Nipper Read. The band is best known for taking part in the Metal for Muthas multi-artist compilation album, released in 1980.
The noted Massachusetts-based audio recording facility Q Division Studios takes its name from the police division depicted in this sketch.
