But that's to be expected from a collection of the complete and annotated scripts from all four seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus. To be honest, the annotations are rather underwhelming. Some are fascinating, but many of them serve to explain bits of British slang, or identify public figures of the time period referenced in the show, most of which, I'd say, the average Python fan knows already. It's nice to have the scripts, yes, but there are less unwieldy printings This is a huge book. It's nice to have the scripts, yes, but there are less unwieldy printings of them out there. This makes a handsome gift for the Python fan, but it's more for die-hard fans than casual readers. Mar 11, Kris rated it really liked it. I confess that I did not read every word in this book - it really IS "all the bits" from the entire Monty Python's Flying Circus, along with notes. I found the notes pretty interesting: the author explained most of the British-isms used that we Americans might not understand. Several still shots were included on each page, and there were also full-page profiles of the various members of Monty Python. A must-read for the dedicated Python fan. More than enough for the not-so-dedicated fan. Feb 21, Kathy rated it liked it. Not sure if a reference book, coffee table book, or something to carry around and memorize. Lots of fun to read the long rants that go by so fast when you read them. I did just skim through a lot though. Some of the sketches just aren't very funny anymore, if they ever were. Though the good ones will always be good. Feb 26, Cat. I had this book checked out for over 6 weeks and only got about halfway through it. I'd finish it, if I could, but I'd prefer to have it while I watch the show. It's a little slow to read, and also I found lots of odd little errors. Dec 25, TheDenizen rated it really liked it Shelves: humor. Brilliantly funny, and the annotations are quite informative, although there are a couple of instances where the content of the annotation indicates that Dempsey clearly didn't get the joke. Still, a worthy tome for Python fans. Jul 02, Amy Merkley rated it it was amazing. Notes in the margins help one understand obscure 's topical references. Scripts help one decipher lines hardly accessible to the 21st century American viewer. Great to reference while watching the episodes. Jan 04, Joy rated it liked it Shelves: coffee-table-reads , Interesting info about every Python sketch-although there were a lot of moments where I expected an annotation, and saw none. Fun to read though. Feb 09, Hadena James rated it it was amazing. I love Monty Python! Aug 05, Michael Parker rated it really liked it. Scripts of classic British comedy. Jan 10, Garret rated it it was amazing. Need I say more? Feb 28, Richard rated it did not like it. Way more information than I wanted. I could hardly lift this, let alone read it lying on my back. This is a dangerous batch of paper. I think I got to page Hillary Marek rated it it was amazing May 16, Patrick O'connell rated it it was amazing May 16, Two Readers in Love rated it it was amazing Feb 02, Roxanne rated it really liked it Feb 09, Bob rated it it was amazing Dec 26, Elf rated it liked it Apr 03, Caitlin rated it really liked it Sep 01, Lisa rated it it was amazing Feb 21, Nate Jackson rated it it was amazing Sep 10, Greg Kyhn rated it it was amazing Feb 20, Deborah Bayliss rated it it was amazing Oct 02, There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

Cleese also very often played Frenchmen most of the times together with Palin or any other kind of foreigner Germans, Hungarians Sometimes he even speaks French or German in sketches such as "La marche futile" end of the "Ministry of Silly Walks"-sketch , "The funniest joke in the World" or "Hitler in Minehead " , which, combined with a very heavy accent often makes himself hard to understand. All of these elements were combined in incongruous ways to obtain new and humorous meanings in the tradition of surrealist collage assemblies. Other memorable animated segments include the killer cars, Conrad Poohs and his Dancing Teeth, the carnivorous houses, the old woman who cannot catch the bus, the rampage of the cancerous black spot, and a giant cat that stomps its way through , destroying everything in its path. The animation that received the most viewers' complaints was from the fourth series, in the episode . A hill appears with three crosses silhouetted against the setting sun to the sound of a harmonium playing in a minor key. The camera slowly zooms in to reveal that it is, in reality, three telegraph poles. The animation was cut out for American broadcasts during the show, however, at the end of the episode when the show is played in one whole minute the pieces of the edited animation can be seen. Although he was primarily the animator of the series, Gilliam sometimes appeared before the camera, as more grotesque characters and parts that no-one else wanted to play generally because they required a lot of make-up or involved uncomfortable costumes. The most recurrent of these was a knight in armour who ended sketches by walking on-set and hitting another character on the head with a plucked chicken. He is acknowledged as 'the master of the one-liner' by the other Pythons. Though certainly not reaching Jones' level in drag, Idle was arguably the most feminine-looking of the Pythons. He often played female characters in a more straightforward way, only altering his voice slightly, as apposed to the falsetto shrieking used by the other Pythons. His appearances as upper-class, middle-aged females are his most notable. He was also the only one who read spoofs of children's storybooks in sketches. Idle was the only member of the Pythons who wrote his sketches alone. Although all of the Pythons played women, is renowned by the rest to be 'the best Rat-Bag woman in the business'. While all of the Pythons excel at comic acting, was regarded by the other members of the troupe as the one with the widest range, equally adept as a straight man or wildly over the top character. However, he was equally at home as the indefatigable Cardinal Ximinez of The Spanish Inquisition sketch. Palin is also well known for his leading role in the The Lumberjack Song. He also often plays foreigners mostly French as in "La marche futile" or German "Hitler in Minehead" , mostly along with Cleese, who, of course, have a very heavy accent when speaking English. In one of the last episodes, he even delivers a full speech, first in English, then in French, then in German sadly with an even heavier accent. Palin is the Python who surely played the least women. This is perhaps due to the fact that Palin in drag was a rather convincing woman Among his most convincing portrayals of women are: the queen in the Michael Ellis Episode or as an idiot's wife in the Idiot in rural society sketch. was reportedly unhappy with the use of toilet humour in Python sketches. The sketch involves a man taking a tour of a wine cellar where he samples many of the wine bottles' contents, which are actually urine. The sculptor Chapman had made an uncanny likeness of Cleese, except for that his nose was extremely long, almost Pinocchio size. It is unlikely that these sketches will be released on DVD or broadcast on television, although copies of the script for these sketches can usually be found on the Internet. And, there are clues as to what was deleted in the episode. For example, the clue for the 'Wee-Wee' sketch is when Michael Palin is seen popping his head out of a barrel and spitting out liquid. The clue for the 'Revolting Cocktails' sketch was a strange animation link by in where forest animals and a nude man were slaughtered and made into a Safari Snowball. Some material originally recorded went missing later, mostly because of censorship. Images of the Satan animation can still be seen at the end where that particular episode is repeated in fastforward. Inexplicably, at least two references to cancer were censored, both during the second season. In the sixth episode It's A Living or School Prizes , 's narration of a Gilliam cartoon suddenly has a male voice dub "gangrene" over the word cancer. Critics felt that a properly restored DVD release was long overdue, until a restored Region 2 DVD release of Season 1 finally saw release on 16 April , with no additional features. At several stages during and after the television series, the members of Monty Python embarked on a series of stage shows. These mostly consisted of sketches from the series, but also included other famous sketches such as the Four Yorkshiremen sketch , which subsequently became part of the Python repertoire.

Including stills of more than 2, key scenes, as well as a litany of trivia for each sketch, this is a perfect supplement to the British troupe's subversive comedic oeuvre. At several stages during and after the television series, the members of Monty Python embarked on a series of stage shows. These mostly consisted of sketches from the series, but also included other famous sketches such as the Four Yorkshiremen sketch , which subsequently became part of the Python repertoire. The shows also included songs from collaborator . Usually the original actors defend their material very closely, but given in this case the 'adaptation' and also the translation into French with subtitles , the gang supported this production. The adapted material sticks reasonably close to the original text, mainly deviating when it comes to ending a sketch, something the Python members themselves changed many times over the course of their stage performances. Language differences also understandably occur in the lyrics of several songs. John Cleese left the show after the third series, so he did not appear in the final six episodes that made up series four other than a walk-on appearance in episode 41 , although he did receive writing credits where applicable for sketches derived from the writing sessions for Holy Grail. Neil Innes and are notable as the only two non-Pythons to get writing credits in the show — Innes for songs in episodes 40, 42 and 45 and for contributing to a sketch in episode 45 , and Adams for contributing to a sketch about something completely different in episode Innes frequently appeared in the Pythons' stage shows and can also be seen in Monty Python and the Holy Grail and briefly in Life of Brian. Adams had become friends with , where they later went to write the failed sketch show pilot . Nevertheless, the series still contains plenty of memorable sketches. However, the fourth series, made without Cleese, is often seen as the weakest and most uneven of the four series, by both fans and the Pythons themselves. The final episode of Series 4 was recorded on 16 November and broadcast on 5 December. It was an instant hit, rapidly garnering an enormous loyal cult following nationwide that surprised even the Pythons themselves, who did not believe that their humour was exportable without being tailored specifically for the North American market. When ABC refused to stop treating the series in this way, the Pythons took them to court. Initially, the court ruled that their artistic rights had indeed been violated, but it refused to stop the ABC broadcasts. However, on appeal, the team gained control over all subsequent US broadcasts of its programmes. The case also led to them gaining the rights from the BBC once their original contracts ended at the end of a unique arrangement at the time. This wiki. This wiki All wikis.

The series was a landmark in television history and broke a number of taboos and boundaries. But what really made Monty Python work was mainly not the jokes but the performances. If the actors hadn't been able to play everything straight, the whole thing would have fallen apart. The series depended not just on wit but on silliness and absurdity, which in itself isn't automatically funny. And many of the scenes are dated or funny only to Britons But not everything Charlie Chaplin was good either and I'm talking about his early silent films as well as his late talkies. Monty Python's flying circus is possibly the funniest comedy sketch of all time. is personally my favorite. Full of completely random sketches including 'full frontal nudity', people having 16 ton weights being dropped on their heads, and pantomime horses. Starting in the 's, I think I can safely say that their has not been a better comedy sketch before or since. I'm pretty sure I've never seen a sillier show. But nonetheless, it is funny. I'm supposed to have ten lines of text, and I need one more. So here it is. I first saw this show in when I was 10 because my mom thought PBS was airing a circus bless her ignorance. The episode was the one with Scott of the Antarctic, the one where the lady runs down the beach and loses articles of clothing to cacti. I was hooked. Wacky comedy and scantily clad lady, a boy just starting puberty couldn't ask for anything more. By the time I was 15 I had seen most of the episodes, all of the films countless times plus Time Bandits and Yellowbeard, which I saw in the theater , and owned half the audio tapes. My sense of humor was permanently warped. I've never tired of their antics, and if anything they've become funnier as I've aged. I'm extra greatful to these fellas, because without their comic genius we surely wouldn't have the brilliance of The Kids in the Hall and Mr. It has been a mind blowing experience. Although i've discovered it a couple of decades after the gentleman above, i can only share his feelings. There is no need to underline the importance of Monty Python's Flying Circus for today's comedy. After all, it has spawned several movies and innumerable copycats. It followed in the footsteps of the Marx brothers and absurdist comedy, for example Hellzaappopin' and unleashed talent in the comedy world and opened new fields of entertainment. The only criticism i might have is that it created a safe haven for semi-talented individuals who make whatever they want a name it comedy, in the similar way that surrealism influenced mainstream art of the twentieth century. Artimidor 29 June Among the many things Monty Python has anchored in the collective consciousness of late 20th century TV viewers is the perfect formula on how to make a perfect transition from one thing to the other with no logical link whatsoever - and use considerably fewer words than in this introduction. Clearly the Pythons were ahead of their time with innovations like this. Or by beginning a show at its end, leading up to a breathtaking start. Or by glorifying canned meat into something ubiquitous and inescapable by writing a song about it - the product that would give the daily shocking content of our e-mail inboxes a proper unmistakable name. Or by aborting a sketch due to exceeding silliness, by continuing after the credits have rolled or by introducing artful, however out-and-out off-wall animation as just one of the many ingredients in order to go for something completely different. Monty Python swims against the tide of the typical punchline laughs. It stands for the perfect cross between surrealism for humor's sake, for encompassing absurd comedy somewhere between triviality and existentialism, with a tad of innuendo-laden references wink, wink, , say no more , functioning also because it hit a nerve back then in and hasn't lost any of its cultural relevance almost 50 years later. Nowadays, when people are reading reviews for the lack of having anything better to do, they might not expect the Spanish Inquisition to show up nobody does! But they just did, and that's thanks to Monty Python - the guys who also wrote the killer joke where 13 people looked at two words and had to be sent to the hospital. Dangerous stuff! It's a sure bet that you'll still find people whistling Sousa's military march for no apparent reason for many years to come. Even when the members of this incomparable comedy troupe are gone to meet their maker, are pushing up the daisies, have rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. Whatever you do, the Pythons are a great reminder that the last laugh is on you. I'm sure that was what occurred to Graham Chapman as well when he participated in his own funeral and the rest of the gang just made a high caliber comedy show out of it, Python style. Can't kill them, I tell ya. I first heard of the comedy team at a very early age, but wasn't too familiar with their work for a long time. I knew of a few sketches, but really started to get to know Python in , when I was nineteen years old, which was when I first became familiar with all the members of the troupe, watching many episodes of this show and the movies which the made afterwards, and laughing a lot! I have now seen every episode of "Monty Python's Flying Circus", originally aired from to , and some comedy may wear thin on me through time, but that most certainly hasn't been the case with the humour of this particular group! It also features many parodies and bizarre concepts! Five of the group's members regularly appear in sketches, each delivering lots of silliness and insanity, while Gilliam, the British troupe's sole American member, only appears sporadically on screen but is responsible for all the bizarre animated sequences, which are featured in every episode and really fit in with the live action sketches! The show sometimes features guests for smaller roles as well, not always just the Pythons appear, and when the female characters are not played by any of the Pythons in drag, there are real women who play them, most commonly Carol Cleveland, who appears at certain points in the majority of the show's episodes and can be referred to as the seventh Python. In my experience, I've found that no matter how good a show is, not ALL the sketches can be that great, including this show. For instance, I don't think I've ever found the tape recorder up the nose very funny. However, "Monty Python's Flying Circus" still features enough hilarious sketches to make it a masterpiece, with the man with three buttocks, the dead parrot, the homicidal barber sketch and very famous "Lumberjack Song" that follows it, the job interview, newlyweds trying to purchase a mattress, the Git family, the , silly disturbances, and so many others, WAY too numerous to mention! Terry Gilliam's animated sequences can certainly be major highlights as well, and he could sure be creative with those cutouts he used for them, many of which he got from Victorian-era photographs! All official members of the Python troupe showed their amazing talent in this sketch comedy series, and I should also give credit to Carol Cleveland. Even though she wasn't an official member of the team, she kept getting roles in the show due to her comedic talent, which she certainly deserved, and is definitely worthy of the "7th Python" label! Sadly, one of the legendary Pythons, Graham Chapman, died of throat and spinal cancer in , when he was only 48 years old. This tragic death occurred the day before the 20th anniversary of the day on which the first episode of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was originally broadcast! I was only three years old at the time of Chapman's death, so I was obviously unaware of it at the time, but finally learned about it sixteen years later, as I had just discovered how funny Monty Python was. That was when I discovered what a great Chapman was, like the other Pythons, and how understandably missed he is. He contributed a lot to Python's humour with his talent, in a comedy franchise which obviously can't please everyone, as some people have been put off by the troupe's extremely silly style, but the work that the Pythons did together was very influential and has clearly made so many people from different generations laugh, and will hopefully continue to do so for generations to come! Cheers to Monty Python and R. Graham Chapman! The guys absolutely kept me rolling on the floor through the 1st season, then I got used to their humor,and there were just stable laughs afterwards. Some episodes are more weird or language-based,some are Chaplin-like ,some are very smart and political,but with each one of them extremely well done. Never seen anything like it,being 29 already. Each actor has a range of personalities but every now and then they put on quite a different role and shock again. For instance,Cleese actually tends to be more aggressive,Idle is very English-joking,but can keep silence during the whole sketch to the same effect. I love the Circus! We interrupt the Internet Movie Database because it's gotten too silly! I've noticed a tendency for the IMDb to get rather silly. Now I do my best to keep things moving along, but I'm not having things getting silly. In it you will see: mosquito and ant safari hunters, the funniest joke ever written in which people die laughing and later used to attack the Germans during WWII, mountain climbers that see double, "The Institute of Silly Walks", hospitals that treat their patients like soldiers in boot camp, a world in which everyone is dressed like Superman except for the greatest hero "Bicycle Repairman", and of course the Spanish Inquisition that shows up when least expected! And like the existence of God, Monty Python was, is and ever shall be the Messiah of television comedy. All must genuflect at the altar of John Cleese's desk when he finishes his phone conversation at the beach and says "And now for something completely different. However, Monty Python may have been the earliest of the sketch comedy shows to utilize the fact that it was being broadcast on television which pushed sketch comedy out of the constraints of the fading sensibility of Sid Caesar and Ed Sullivan. In addition to their sketches which were filmed like little movies rather than on stages and probably were not improvised , Monty Python's Flying Circus is filled with fake news broadcasts, fake commercial interruptions, spliced sequences of stock footage, and of course, the outrageously irreverent cartoons that spoofed the great art of Europe and created a surrealist python world where portraits of distinguished old men eat up the Venus de Milo -- whole! Monty Python spoofed everything, from their own BBC News, World War II to Queen Victoria who is shown in one sketch walking into a poetry reading with the coffin containing the remains of her husband saying "My late husband and me And of course the French and the Scots seem to get a little more airtime than other groups! And the final aspect I will relate is that most of these zany sketches were presented with absolutely straight faces as if the actors were seriously engaged in their ludicrous exploits. There is very little I can add about Monty Python that hasn't already been said, except, that if you have never seen it, it is almost impossible to describe. So, for God's sake, see it! We now return you to the Internet Movie Database with its regularly scheduled programming.
