This insistence on the primacy of Monty Python in the pantheon of laughter has been challenged by Americans with their "humor" as represented by the Marx Brothers, Screwball movies, and the Three Stooges. Their modern day descendants on Saturday Night Live claim they are the true inheritors and of this vein of comedy and that in the words of Nirvana, the rest are just "imitators".

  • Monty Python est le nom d'un groupe de six anglais ( dont un gallois et un américain ) qui ont inventé ce que les français appellent "l'humour britannique" quand ils ne comprennent pas un gag (voir aussi second degré). Les Monty Python commencèrent à la télévision en octobre 1969, dans des épisodes diffusés très tard et que personne ne regardait. Les causes de leur succès restent encore mystérieuses à ce jour, bien que diverses théories du complot aient été avancées.

  • Monty Python is the name of a British comedy group known for a surreal sense of humour easily as gleefully anarchic and silly as The Muppets themselves. They are known for such works as Monty Python's Flying Circus, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. Members include Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Occasional members have included Connie Booth, Neil Innes, Chris Langham (in Life of Brian) and Eddie Izzard (in two television specials).

But that doesn't matter anymore cuz they're DEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDD! All deeeeeaaaaaaad! So forget it! Luckily they have all moved on t5o bigger and better careers now. All of them that is, except Graham Chapman. And Terry Jones.
  • Monty Python is a group of British public school Fancy-pantses who think they are soo clever for making sketches involving wordplay, satire, and political caricature; in other words, stuff you have to think about to get. They are the a threat to the future of America, insidiously turning her youth into a giant nerd patrol. Anyway, they clearly lack the subtle, nuanced humor of a Larry the Cable Guy or a Jeff Foxworthy
  • In the Sounds directory of the original Creatures can be found two files, say1.wav and say2.wav. If these files are reversed and stretched to 150% (one and a half times their original size) they are recognizable as a famous Monty Python catchphrase . . . This was originally discovered and reported on alt.games.creatures by Pendragon.
  • Much like Doctor Who or Star Wars, they also branched out into other media and created an Expanded Universe containing various movies, books and albums.
  • Monty Python is a comedy series through many shows, and movies. Monty Python and The Holy Grail is the most famous one out of all of these through its many memorable characters.
  • Monty Python (sometimes known as the Pythons) were a British comedy group that created the influential Monty Python's Flying Circus, a British television comedy sketch show that first aired on the BBC on 5 October 1969, and lasted for four series, concluding in 1974. The Python phenomenon developed from the television series into stage shows, films, albums, books, and a stage musical, as well as launching the members to individual stardom. Taken from the Wikipedia article on Monty Python.
  • Rear Admiral Monty Python farts in your general direction. His mother was a hamster and his father smelled of elderberries. He was traumatized after his father bought him a dead parrot ("E's passed on! 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!"), although the father insisted it was merely "pinin' for the fjords". After this incident, Python decided for some reason or another that he should dedicate his life to helping Starfleet i
  • Ispirati a detta loro dal famoso musical Hellzapoppin' con l'unica differenza che quest'ultimo fa ridere, i loro sketch sono caratterizzati dal fatto che siano di difficile comprensione proprio perché assolutamente privi di senso; questo spiega l'uso abnorme da parte loro del generatore di risate finte: non per aumentare l'effetto comico bensì per spiegare allo spettatore QUANDO cominciare a ridere.
  • After the TV shows concluded, the team made the occasional film, including Monty Python And The Holy Grail (1975), Monty Python's Life Of Brian (1979), and Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life (1983). The death of Graham Chapman from cancer effectively brought the collaboration to a close. Many of the sketches (such as 'The Ministry Of Silly Walks,' The Cheese Shop,' 'Spam,' 'The Norwegian Blue Parrot' and 'Nudge Nudge') have passed into British comedy folklore, and a considerable number have also been issued as LPs in re-recordings
  • Monty Python, or 'the Pythons', is the name given to the group of six comedians—five English and one American—that created the sketch-based television programme Monty Python's Flying Circus. They were subsequently responsible for: the sketch-based film And Now For Something Completely Different; the concert films Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl and Monty Python Live at Aspen; and the three feature films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian, and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. The six founders are:
  • The television series, broadcast by the BBC from 1969 to 1974, was conceived, written and performed by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. Loosely structured as a sketch show but with a highly innovative stream-of-consciousness approach (aided by Terry Gilliam's animations), it pushed the boundaries of what was then considered acceptable, both in terms of style and in content.
  • Monty Python is a British comedy troupe, featuring some very well-educated clowns. Deadpan Snarker John Cleese, Straight Man Graham Chapman and musician Eric Idle met at Cambridge University where they were members of The Footlights, a celebrated performing society. Panto-style actor Terry Jones and his writing partner, Nice Guy Michael Palin, had been similarly occupied at Oxford at about the same time. Cleese met cartoonist/animator Terry Gilliam -- the one American in the group, then working for the humor magazine Help!? -- during the US tour of "The Footlights Revue".
  • Monty Python was a television programme on Earth. Charlotte Willis once considered watching it. (AUDIO: The Foe from the Future) Adric watched recordings of the series in the TARDIS' television lounge and often quoted from it. (PROSE: Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life) It had a comedy sketch involving a chemist's shop, from which Guy Adams thought his boss Mike got the Italian name "Semprini." Fitz Kreiner didn't understand the specific reference but laughed when Guy said that Mike thought that he and John Cleese had been separated at birth. (PROSE: Timeless)
  • Monty Python is a British comedy troupe, famous for the television program Monty Python's Flying Circus and the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Life of Brian and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. For the anniversary TV special, Python Night: 30 Years of Monty Python, Trey Parker and Matt Stone made a short South Park homage to Monty Python with the "Dead Friend Sketch", a parody of Monty Python's "Dead Parrot Sketch". The cartoon also featured Terry Gilliam at the end. Parker and Stone have cited Gilliam as an influence on the South Park animation style.
