I just got the M. Python 16 Mega-Ton set. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy this show. I'm not one to sit giggling to myself, but I did. (My cats kept staring at me.)

Highly recommended; if I had to describe the show briefly: They love straight-faced absurdities, and you can't anticipate where they're going with a joke.

The 16 Mega-Ton set is all their programs (actually 16 disks). It used to cost over $200, but I got it on sale for $67.

Not recommeded: Starting to watch when you should be sleeping because you have to be at work early the next day, and you're so tired you can't focus, your head is nodding, eyes closing, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

In the toidy.
I'm a lumberjack
And I'm okay.
I sleep all night
And I work all day.


"This parrot has ceased to be!"

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid that walk isn't silly enough for the Ministry of Silly Walks."

"Know what I mean? Eh? Nudge Nudge"

Hmmm... I might have to splurge. I adore Monty Python.

ahem **clears throat**

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day
I love press wildflowers
and hang around in bars!"

(ok - I don't know if the wording is 100% accurate, but you get the idea!) ;)

"I'd just like to say I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that it is now the RAF who suffer the most casualties in that area. Signed: Captain B.J. Smithers-In-A-White-Wine-Sauce."

I've been a fan of the TV show since before The Holy Grail hit the big screen in the mid 1970s.

you can't have babies! You don't have a womb. Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?

"Your arm's off!"
"'Tis but a scratch!"

"Bring us a..... (dramatic pause)....

SHRUBBERY!

A nice one now, and not too much..."

I still laugh like a maniac during this movie and we quote it line by line each time.

On second thought, let's not go to Camelot (AW during this thread).
Tis a silly place

NO ONE expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Cardinal Fang...bring out--the Comfy Chair!

I own 'em all too. :D
"*gasp* Not the Comfy Chair!"

"Poke him with -- the soft pillow!" :roll:

We used to have Python parties in high school where we'd watch the TV show and recite along with it. Eric Idle's tourism rant was one of the funniest things I ever heard.

ETA: you gang ever see this? (youtube video)

As a writer, I do think the Novel Writing sketch was particularly brilliant.

"Novel Writing, live from Dorchester!" :ROFL:

Transcripts of "Holy Grail" and (this one's not Monty Python but it's classic and quoted in at least one sigline) "Airplane!" are easily found online, in direct and flagrant violation of copyright laws. I, of course, have not looked for nor read through any such websites...

"What do you mean? An African or European swallow?"

Looks like I picked the wrong week to give up humor.
