Hi Ladies,
Five Brits and one American write and star in the BBC’s new sketch comedy show, ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus.’ Their particular brand of silly, surreal mayhem will change the comedy landscape over 45 episodes that at first garner a cult following before achieving worldwide fame debuted today October 5, 1969 (52 years ago).

Hi Alice,
All time legends one of the greatest collaboration of comic genius.
They set a standard that many have failed to reach, and even today still stand the test of time through the generations.
I actually did an English Thesis on the different between European and African Crows based on the search for the holy grail.
“life of Brian” absolutely hilarious.
Huge fan Amanda xxAlice….

My SO and I were only recently married when PBS was broadcasting Monty Python’s Flying Circus and we would watch and greatly enjoy it regularly. There were several other British import comedies that we would also watch around that time, No, Honestly with the husband and wife team of Pauline Collins and John Alderton. Being recently married ourselves, we well understood a lot of the comedy. The third show was Are You Being Served. During college I worked in a large (well, very, very large) department store and could relate to a lot of the humor, even though it was British based.
I also enjoyed watching Monte Python back then. I have the complete DVD set. Loved the skirt ” Silly Walks”. Hate to admit but the most favorite one was the Lumberjack in the bar. Died laughing, tongue in cheek, but still died laughing!
” I always wanted to be a Lumberjack.”
I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I like to press wild flowers, I put on women’s clothing and hang around in bars…oooh yes xx
I think you should have substituted bars for Tesco sweetie xx 😂😉

They won’t be concentrating on what I’m saying sweetie, the” big girls “will be in.
Way back in the early 80’s when I was learning to fly, my flying Instructor, in an effort to distract me would recite the Dead parrot sketch word and accent/voice perfect!
It took a massive affort to concentrate on my flying and not end up roaring with laughter. I must have succeeded though, as although now retired, I finished up holding an Airline Transport Pilot Licence.
And now for something completely different; A massage from the Swedish Prime Minister.
Johanna sweetie, have you ever considered that he may have been the nervous one in the equation here, hence the need to calm himself down. 😂😂

I have been a Python fan for many years. I have all the dvd’s, several of the recoreds, and bothe the script books.
Best wishes from Doug and Dinsdale. He was a cruel man, but fair.
I can actually sing the philosophers drinking song from memory.
We used to get together in the basement bar of our firehouse on Sunday nights to watch MPFC.
A couple of years ago I had the opportunity to see “Spamalot” on Broadway with my wife. Simply hilarious, I was laughing so hard that I nearly fell down the stairs.
Hugs, Jillian
My wife is a chartered accountant. When she was traing and very much a junior, she had to work over Christmas. She took in our Monty Python Sings CD and had “It’s fun to charter an accountant” playing on the phone system as hold music. This was a one of the big 4 accountancy firms.
After christmas was over, her manager called her into the office. She went in expecting a bollocking…. The exact opposite….She was praised for showing the “fun” side of accountants. Apparently, quite a few clients e-mailed in saying how much they enjoyed the hold music. Far better than the bland rubbish they normally had to listen to. Not all accountants are stuffy stick in the muds.It’s actually on Netflix right now.
Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook, if you look this one up on Youtube and pay attention to the cop when he’s first shown. It’s one of the many reasons that makes Monty Python one of the greatest shows ever made.
My mom and I used to watch the flying circus every Friday night on PBS, great memories. My favourite of theirs was the movie Yellowbeard, the pirate movie, classic. All the python gang, Cheech and Chong, Madeline Kahn and we can’t forget David Bowie as the shark. ARRRR Us Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we’re dead. I don’t have any fruit in my loins, crickets and crabs maybe. How did you know it was him. I have acute hearing. I don’t care about your jewelry.
Excuse me is this the right room for an argument? I’ve told you once. No you didn’t. Yes I did.
‘Is she a goer…Know what I mean.. Know what I mean…Nudge nudge, wink, wink….Does your wife like photography. Ay Ay….

OMG!! Almost 3 weeks late for this thread. If I was a true GG, I’d say I might have an issue in the making
Anyway. My .02 cents:
“I just object to all this sex on the television. I mean… I keep falling off!”

“I’ve got two legs from my waist to the ground, and when I moves them, they walk around.
When I lifts’em, they climb the stairs
And when I shaves’em they ain’t gots hairs.”
“And now for something completely different…”
