silly walk

An exaggerated stepping movement, typically characterized by placing one foot in front of the other in an absurd, roundabout manner. Best demonstrated by by Monty Python's John Cleese, in a sketch about the "Ministry of Silly Walks."
"Well sir, I have a silly walk and I'd like to obtain a Government grant to help me develop it."

(From The Ministry of Silly Walks)

Ministry of Silly Walks 

A branch of the British government, run by John Cleese, that publishes ways to walk that make you look like an idiot.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, but I'm afraid my walk has become rather sillier recently, and so it takes me rather longer to get to work.

lt's not particularly silly, is it(Referring to Mr. Pudey's walk)? I mean, the right leg isn't silly at all and the left leg merely does a forward aerial half turn every alternate step.

Now the Japanese have a man who can bend his leg back over his head and back again with every single step. While the Israelis... here's the coffee.
