First time i've watched them i was already like 11 or 12 years old (back in the early-mid 90's) it was on a older cousin's VHS and i honestly didn't think much of it. Despite being from an European country, Monty Python was just not a regular show on tv when i was growing-up. When i was 16 years old i decided to revisit the tv-series, after renting (my parents i mean😆) Life of Brian and The Holy Grail for the weekend. When you understand the context of when it was made, what was made at the time (by comparison) and all the nuances in-between... it really is one of those few true life-changing pieces of media!

Maybe 10 years after the series, in the early 80s, I traveled a great deal, and in the course of my travels I learned how to say "My hovercraft is full of eels" in 21 languages. This one phrase opened so many doors, with people who had never heard of the Pythons, that I have dozens and dozens of very happy stories about what it led to. (My favorite version was probably the Swedish because it just sounds so funny...)

Odd thing is, the cheese shop skit really happened in history, when the Russian Nihilists "The People's Will'", who assassinated Czar Alexander III, rented a shop so they could dig a tunnel under the parade route and fill it with dynamite. They stored all the dirt and rubble in cheese barrels in the back room but forgot to stock the shop with any cheese. So the government health inspector showed up one day, only to find the shop totally devoid of any trace of cheese but stocked with more dirt than he ever could've imagined. Only in Russia!

I quite like The Spanish Inquisition sketch. I sure hope it becomes a meme, someday. And I mean the part that says, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”. That would be the first meme derived from Monty Python, and hopefully repopularize Monty Python’s Flying Circus for the BBC Channel. Does anyone agree with me?

One of the more rare sketches I like was one where Chapman's playing Biggles and is trying to dictate a letter to his secretary. At one point, the secretary calls him "Señor Biggles", which he gets very annoyed about. Then he calls in another pilot, played by Palin, who he proceeds to accuse of being gay, which he confirms and is swiftly shot. He then calls another pilot in, played (and dressed) outrageously-camp by Gilliam, who is also asked if he's gay, but is shocked at the mere question and storms out. Finally, when Biggles realises the secretary has been typing-up literally everything he's saying, he proceeds to put on a pair of comedy antlers to signal when she should or shouldn't type what he's saying. It's all ridiculous and pure Python.

Although it might only be fully appreciated by those who had to take Latin in school, I would nominate the scene in “The Life of Brian” where Brian gets a harsh lesson in Latin grammar from centurion (John Cleese) who catches Brian in the act of trying to apply the graffiti slogan “Romans go home!” on the walls of the Roman garrison. Brian’s “Romanes eunt domus” is violently corrected by the centurion “Latin teacher” to “Romani ite domum”, and as punishment Brian is ordered to write out - the now corrected - graffito 100 times along the walls of the garrison. This sketch has the further hilarious characteristic that it translates well into any number of European languages; the dubbed German version is particularly compelling for anyone who was a schoolboy in 1970s Germany or Austria, where Latin in high school was compulsory if one was aiming towards university entrance.

Terry Gilliam ( Monty Python's only American member) was my 'bunk mate' in Army Basic training, 03-05, 1964! After those two months, we went our separate ways & he went to England in '65, to pursue his artistic career & join this fledgling group! Since "Monty Python" didn't appear on American t.v. until the '70's, I didn't realize that he had achieved fame until then! After "M.P.", he has gone on to a very successful movie directing career! Congrats!

I grew up in the 70s. I remember reading the TV Guide and seeing “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and thinking-I don’t want to watch no circus… Fast forward to the 80s and my college roommate exposed me to Monty Python. I was so upset that I never gave that silly listing a look. I made up for it, rented all the movies and bought the show on DVD when it came out in the 90s.

Michael Palin as the king talking about how his son, played by Terry Jones will inherit Swamp Castle: "All the other kings the thought I was mad to build a castle in a swamp......it sunk. So I built another one on top of it......it sunk. I built a third one......it burned down, fell over, then sunk. Ahh, but the fourth one, the fourth one! It stayed up! And that's what you'll be inheriting my son, the strongest castle in these 'ere parts!" And the son complaining about being forced to marry a very plump princess: "What's wrong with the princess? She's rich, she's beautiful, she got huuuuuge (holding his hands cupped in front of his chest imitating breasts) tracts of land!"

Yes, Mr. Pither's Cycling Tour! Towards the end, he's in front of a firing squad, and the camera shows a man running and saying, "Wait, wait." He hands a message to the captain of the guard, who says, "It's from the Kremlin." I'm thinking of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky and last minute reprieves. He opens the note and reads, "Carry on with the execution." I wasn't expecting that at all! And then he escaped, and we don't know how because the screen just says, "Scene missing." It's so clever.

So many great Python sketches but my very favourite is probably the couple who go into a store to buy a mattress and are told by an assistant never to say the word 'mattress' but to ask for a dog kennel. Another great one is the procession of strange characters who knock at the door of Graham Chapman and Carol Cleveland who are trying to have a romantic evening. Knock knock, it's Eric Idle "remember me from the pub 3 years ago". Also like the 'dirty vicar' sketch.
