Two things:
1. A crossword puzzle led me down a rabbit hole of movies featuring flying cars, and I discovered the first film of said genre, called the "? Motorist" was produced in 1906, when films and cars were all relatively new.
2. The version of it I found on YouTube has a soundtrack by John Phillip Sousa, showing that Monty Python's Flying Circus has precedent in selecting Sousa tunes for filmed comedy.
The version of the film here has no sound, so I don't know if the other version with the Sousa soundtrack is the original pairing, but I like to think it is.
Also, this must have been considered the artificial intelligence "fake video" of the day, yet it led to things that we enjoy now.
