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".

Monty Python and The Holy Grail is the most famous one out of all of these through its many memorable characters. 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.

n3:abstract

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. The group's influence on comedy has often been compared to The Beatles' influence on music, a self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work and changing the way performers entertained audiences. The Pythons' creative control allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding the established rules of television comedy and breaking new ground for those who came after (George Harrison, who became friends with several members of the cast, said that he regarded Monty Python as 'continuing the spirit' of The Beatles). Their influence on British comedy of all kinds has been apparent for many years, while in America it has coloured the work of many cult performers from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent absurdist trends in television comedy. There are differing accounts of the origins of the Python name although the members agree that its only 'significance' was that they thought it sounded funny. In the 1998 documentary Live At Aspen the group implied that 'Monty' was selected as a gently-mocking tribute to Field Marshal Lord Montgomery, a legendary British general of World War II; requiring a "slippery-sounding" surname, they settled on 'Python'. On other occasions Idle has claimed that the name 'Monty' was that of a popular and rotund fellow who drank in his local pub; people would often walk in and ask the barman, "Has Monty been in yet?", forcing the name to become stuck in his mind. These explanations aside, some believe that 'Monty Bodkin', the name of a character in several books by humourist P. G. Wodehouse, served on some level as an inspiration. In a 2005 poll to find The Comedian's Comedian, three of the six members were voted among the top 50 greatest comedians ever, by fellow comedians and comedy insiders. Palin was at number 30, Idle was voted 21st and Cleese was at two, just beaten to the top by Peter Cook. 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". All save Gilliam were recruited as television writers straight out of college. In the amorphous melting pot that was British radio and TV comedy in the late 1960's -- where alliances drawn from the same talent-pool were constantly formed for short-lived projects and then dissolved -- meetings in various combinations ensued for our heroes, and considerable mutual respect was earned. In 1967 Idle, Palin, Jones and Gilliam wrote and starred in the UK children's TV series, Do Not Adjust Your Set. At the same time Cleese and Chapman joined together with Tim Brooke-Taylor et al. to produce At Last The 1948 Show, and in 1968 the two provided additional material for the unruly satire The Magic Christian. The following year, Cleese and Chapman were offered a show of their own. Who would join them in the new troupe was initially unclear; Brooke-Taylor, later of The Goodies, was seriously considered (Cleese and the three Goodies had been mainstays of much-loved radio comedy sketch-show I'm Sorry Ill Read That Again), as was jobbing comic actor David Jason. But Cleese really wanted to work with Palin, and Palin's three cohorts were ready to move on to more ambitious fare as well, so in the end it all fell into place naturally. The brash young sextet stormed into a pitch meeting with BBC executives and told them that... they had absolutely no idea what they wanted to do, let alone come up with a title for it. In their heads, though, it was going to be really really cool and groundbreaking and just generally nothing the comedy world had ever seen before -- like the The Goon Show had been, only more so. Incredibly enough, the execs took a flyer on them. The net result was Monty Python's Flying Circus, and a sketch-comedy troupe for the ages was born. British-born/American-raised actress Carol Cleveland is the unofficial seventh member and comedic musician Neil Innes is the unofficial eighth member. Writing chores tended to fall along well-established lines: Cleese with Chapman, Palin with Jones, Idle on his own. Gilliam worked separately on animations and hence appears only very rarely before the camera. Roles -- in the TV show, at least -- were assigned based on who had contributed most to that particular script; thus it's possible to roughly figure out who wrote what based on who's starring in any given sketch. In addition to the Flying Circus show itself (which ran on the BBC from 1969 to 1974), they made a number of films that are almost universally considered classics. They also had several comedy albums, live stage shows, video games, and participated in a number of fund raisers called the Secret Policeman's Ball shows. The troupe more or less stopped being active around 1984, and became entirely inactive as a collective when Graham Chapman died in 1989 (the members have stated that they'll be willing to reunite as a group when Graham Chapman returns from the dead). The last time all six were seen together live was in a brief spot in the 20-year reunion special Parrot Sketch Not Included, where host Steve Martin revealed they were all being kept in a closet (with a visibly-ailing Chapman seated in the middle with the other five); the special aired the day after Chapman's death that October. The remaining members still occasionally perform either on stage or in each other's films (the two who most often collaborate together post-1984 have been Cleese and Palin), with a 1998 reunion in Aspen (with Eddie Izzard in tow) featuring all five surviving members. Further reunions have taken place in recent years. Most things "Monty Python" nowadays (such as Spamalot) fully involve only Eric Idle, with the others as occasional drop-ins. Terry Gilliam now mainly works as a director; Terry Jones is a novelist; Michael Palin makes travel documentaries; John Cleese is still the grumpy old face of British comedy, though he has also appeared in two of the most popular UK film series of all time -- the James Bond films (playing Q in two films) and as a ghost in two early Harry Potter films; and Graham Chapman has continued to remain dead. The Pythons have established a YouTube channel as well. Which is available worldwide! 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).

Monty Python alum Eric Idle provided the voice of Doctor Vosknocker in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. 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 in stopping the Spanish Inquisition, which nobody actually expects. (Monty Python and the Sorcerer's Stone) Before entering Starfleet he wanted to learn "how to fly a starship", but because he "had to play the grand piano" he never succeded in this task in Space Academy‎. Anyway, his first ship was the USS Spam, and his first mission was to fly to Spam nebula in the spam sector. When they reached it, he ordered his science officer Lieutenant Spambert "Spam" Spamson to spam the spam, but suddenly the spam spammed and spam to spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans and spam spam spam. (Monty Python and the Temple of Doom) Python failed in his mission to stop the Spanish Inquisition since he never expected them. (NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!)(That was a bit predictable.) A failure as a Starfleet officer, he became a lumberjack and he was okay. He slept all night and worked all day. He cut down trees and ate his lunch and went to the lavatory. On Wednesdays, he went shopping and had buttered scones for tea. He cut down trees, he jumped and skipped. He liked to press wild flowers. He put on women's clothing and hung around in bars. He cut down trees, he wore long heels, suspendies and a bra. He wished he'd been a girlie, just like his dear papa. And everyone thought he was so rugged. (Monty Python and the Chocolate Factory, Monty Python and the Sundance Kid)) He also dabbled as a shrubber.

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. Founded: 1969 Headquarters: London, UK 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 . In 2010, Swedish band Bear Quartet issued an album called Monty Python (although the contents seem to contain no other reference to the team). 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). 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. There have been several other specials and personal best films released. Eric Idle has brought two of their films to the stage: Spamalot is based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) is based on Monty Python's Life of Brian. There have been some books detailing the careers of the Pythons, and even video games based on their material. They have also released eighteen music albums. The six founders are: * John Cleese * Michael Palin * Terry Jones * Terry Gilliam (the lone American) * Eric Idle * Graham Chapman Their brand of comedy is often random and chaotic, frequently breaks the Fourth Wall, is crude and/or vulgar, and is considered some of the finest and most progressive humour ever produced. Other than Graham Chapman, who sadly died, the members have gone on to be successful film stars, musicians, television presenters, writers, and all-around celebrities.

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's Big Red Book was one of the many volumes stored on the planet known as the Library. (TV: Silence in the Library) 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.
