It's!!!!!!
What can you say about Monty Python its Zany, Bizarre, Original, Hilarious but best of all it's just a Classic.
It has to be said that Monty Python is British institution like Sunday Dinner and Morecambe and Wise. Can you imagine what the world would be like if the had been no Python. There would be no Ministry of silly Walks, no hedgehog called spin'y Norman shouting "DINSDALE!", no Knights of NEE!. And no comment about Python would be complete without the quote from Life of Brian.....
"He's not the Messiah he very naughty boy........."

Monty Python is were Sketch shows really began.
And it also stands the test of time. There are loads of classic sketches created by the Python team, including the 'Dead Parrot Sketch' & 'Nudge Nudge... Know what I mean... eh!'
Nothing has ever come anywhere near Python.... Little Britain? I've shit it!

It's about time they did. It's been out in the states for about 4 years.
There's something not right about that!

I agree if it's good enough for the yanks then it's good enough for us.
The main reason that have not bought any DVDs of the Monty Python TV Series is because it is all compilation stuff.
So to the powers that be if you're reading this.
RELEASE THE FULL TV SERIES BOX SET ON DVD!!!!!

I worship Monty Python.
If there was a fire in my house, the first thing I'd do would be to save my Monty Python related things.
The most innovative and eccentric thing ever. I love how they rarely used punchlines in Flying Circus.

[glow=red,2,300] "This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT "[/glow] They just don't make comedies like that anymore. When I was a teen the local PBS showed this great show at midnight on Saturday nights and I loved it. It was hilarious, well written, well performed and a little bit naughty, just the stuff for a 16 year old girl.  ;D |

 Hello, children, hello. Here is this morning's story. Are you ready? We'll begin. (opens book; reads) 'One day Rickie the magic pixie went to visit Daisy Bumble in her tumbledown cottage. He found her in the bedroom. Roughly he grabbed her heavy shoulders pulling her down on the bed and ripping off her...' (reads silently, turns over page quickly, smiles)
'Old Nick the sea captain was a rough tough jolly sort of fellow. He loved the life of the sea and he loved to hang out by the pier where the men dressed as ladies....' (reads on silently; a stick enters vison and pokes him; he starts and turns over)
'Rumpletweezer ran the Dinky Tinky toy shop in the foot of the magic oak tree by the wobbly dum dum bush in the shade of the magic glade down in Dingly Dell. Here he sold contraceptives and.... discipline?.... naked?.... (without looking up, reads a bit; then, incredulously to himself) With a melon? |

I dug my script book out for that, and typed it out on my own..... By hand.
Then saw it later on IMDB! (but misquoted I tell ya!)
Cut & Paste? I've shit it!

Aha! I knew I'd get a reaction from that statement.
I thought someone would've had a go at me for the shit I cut and paste on here!
Talking of 'that thread', It's been quiet on there for a few days...
Must get back to it.
