Monty Python: 40 Years of Insanity

life.com — On October 5 1969 BBC One first broadcast a quirky little show called "Monty Python's Flying Circus." And now, for something completely different, the headlines in this gallery will have absolutely nothing to do with the photos and will instead be quotes from the show. Here's a shot of the boys imitating broadcaster Alan Whicker.

  • Wakkyweed, on 10/05/2009, -0/+11 Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.

  • giggsey, on 10/05/2009, -0/+4It's not that you don't understand it. I'm sure you do, and I'm not insulting your intelligence at all.

    It just seems that these days, only a handful of people will watch Python and laugh. The rest of the people sit there and go "wtf, this isn't funny".

    I'm not sure what it is, but it's a shame :(

    "four out of five old ladies can't tell the difference between whizzo butter and a dead crab"

    "Eric the Half-Bee. He had an accident"

    "Paratroops, eh? It'd be a shame if someone set fire to them.."

    "This...is an ex-parrot!"

    "I object to all this sex on the television...I mean, I keep falling off!"

    "I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah."

  • rrwest, on 10/05/2009, -0/+3"What kind of swallow?"

    "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition..."

    "I want to have an argument." "No you don't."

    "Your walk isn't particularly silly at all."

    And my favourite line: "Intercourse the penguin."

    "Rene Descartes was a drunken fart; I drink therefore I am."

    Almost forgot the Grannies From Hell and the Dinsdale brothers.

    Too many good skits, really, to remember them all.
  • smashingmonkey, on 10/06/2009, -0/+3Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally. It refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.
  • appleseed1234, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2I miss oddball shows like these, seems like pretty much every show after the 60s had a rigid formula to it.

  • Atario, on 10/06/2009, -0/+2Whoa, he died on Oct 4, 1989? That means we just passed the 20th anniversary of his death with nary an article about it!

    In his hono(u)r, I'd like to take this opportunity to say:

    Stop that! It's silly.
  • BigWest, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2I don't know that...
  • mishabear, on 10/05/2009, -0/+2Maybe you just like American humor more than British humor.
