Monty Python

I have one internet group that occasionally breaks out into a quote competition. Who can send back the most lines from a particular movie or TV show? More often than not, its something by Monty Python. We are all of an age where we enjoyed the BBC show, mostly in reruns, some of us while high. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, know what I mean? Those memories get embedded and won’t ever leave our little brains. Thats why MY BRAIN HURTS!

And now for something completely different:

Always look on the Bright Side of Life. This video features football, or soccer if you may.

Learn to defend yourself against fresh fruit! With script. (Thanks, Carl!)

Spamalot, now playing on Broadway!

My top result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Which Monty Python Cast Member Are You?, is John Cleese

Scenes from The Holy Grail rendered in Legos. Also, remember the skit How Not To Be Seen? Here it is in Legos. (via Mamacita)

Just what IS the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

Silly Walks Generator.

Camelot (from the Holy Grail)


King George’s Flying Circus.

Monkey Primate and the Oily Grail. With apologies to Monty Python.

Fans, buy your Monthy Python toys here! The Black Knight (at right) is a perfect gift for the most twisted child on your list. (via the Presurfer)

You’ll find more classic Python routines here.

Dead parrot sketch.

The Lumberjack Song


Keep up with the activities of the Pythons with Monty Python’s Completely Useless Website.

You should have The Spam Song going through your head as you read and relive the following sktech.

SPAM!

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.
Man: You sit here, dear.
Wife: All right.
Man: Morning!
Waitress: Morning!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!
Waitress: ...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
Wife: Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress: Urgghh!
Wife: What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!
Vikings: Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up! (Vikings stop) Bloody Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.
Wife: I don't like spam!
Man: Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress: Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man: Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress: You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

Absolutely side splitting, MC! Python was always a favourite. You've had some of my favourites, like 'Fresh Fruit' 'Spam' 'Lumberjack', 'Dead Parrot' & 'My Brain Hurts'. Wonderful!

[Jean-Luc Picard]

I should have added "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!" as a classic line.

[Raggedy]

*wink *wink *nudge *nudge I know what you mean.

I enjoyed my visit

Have a wonderful day!

There are few Monty Pythons bits I haven't memorized in this sort of massive mound of grey matter stuck somewhere in between my ears, so THANKS for bringing long-repressed memories back from the quietude of the graveyard of long-repressed memories and turning them back into VOICES INSIDE MY HEAD! BLOODY HELL!

I'm not a huge Monty Python fan, although Life of Brian was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, and I do remember laughing quite a lot during Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[Carol Anne]

You forgot ... the Larch

[Julian]

Makes me old to think I watched the originals, first time round...

Must be off, there's trouble at t'mill...

[Miss Cellania]

Julian, you're not older than the rest of us, we Yanks just got the show secondhand.

Captain Picard, I just KNEW someone would say that right off!

Raggedy, you make me feel good every time you visit!

Carl, thank you for your substantial contribution. Great minds think alike.

Ed, if you liked those two movies, you ARE a fan, whether you admit it or not.

Carol Anne, I couldn't include EVERYTHING! Nice to know different people's favorits.

[Julian]

Ee ba eck... Well of course we had it tough. We used to have to get up out of t'shoebox at twelve o'clock at night, and LICK t'road clean with us tongues. We'd half a handful of freezing cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at t'mill for fourpence every six years, and when we got home, our Dad would slice us in two with a bread knife. And only then could we sit and watch Monty Python...

[James]

Has anyone mentioned....Arthur two-sheds Jackson!

Or those famouse East End villains; Doug and Dinsdale Piranha?
