Good Old Monty Python wasn’t always all about strictly humor, often times it was strictly about humor AND violence! Take for instance the Black Knight sketch from M.P. and the Holy Grail. Pretty bloody. Well, this one’s from the show and just about as nasty. And Silly. Enjoy!
Absolutely ridiculous. Not that that’s any real surprise, since those two words form the foundation of most -if not all- of the Python’s routines. Yet, somehow, this one borders on utter nonsense: not one of the members on the force could understand the other in their ‘normal’ tones of voice, ergo… this.
Ah, the Gumbies. More or less post-lobotomy patients who get themselves involved in every and any thing possible, but with less-than-stellar results because, well, they’re irreversibly stupid.
This one is almost not even worth attempting to explain, basically because: a) they really do a fine job of trying to do it for you, and b) well, just watch…
There are so many amazing one-liners in this one that it’s hard to pick a favorite, but I’ll stipulate by saying this: follow along during his initial description of the Crunchy Frog where he just skims over, “Lightly killed”. Makes me bust a gut every time. Lightly killed… HA!
Though it’s hard not to love Michael Palin’s deadpan and equally dunder-headed approach to his Cardinal Ximinez character, it’s just as fun to watch the great facial expressions of Terry Gilliam. Brilliant.
“What’choo mean, ‘miss’?” “I’m sorry… I have a cold.” And it’s all downhill from there. Amazingly, when many people think of Monty Python’s skits, this is often the one they remember. It is a classic.
This one is all about a library and kittens. Just kidding. It’s about SPAM.

Very few sketches are unadulterated gold from the first minute to the last, but this exception is one long gag. I had to literally watch this one numerous times just to get the dialog because I couldn’t stop laughing. How John Cleese doesn’t just fall out is beyond me.
Bizarre. Dry, British wit, and just deliciously bizarre. “Sorry old horse!”
