And now, for something completely different.
Thanks for that. Python... Yay! 8)
Awesome story! Thanks for posting it.
Awesome! That's a great piece of history. LOVE me some Monthy Python!!
A funny thing, is that skit he performed, BBC BC. I'm quite sure that David Frost did it on some television show in the US. Maybe That Was The Week That Was (TW3).
You could well be right, bes. I have definitely seen that somewhere before. All good stuff anyway, so thanks for posting it.
Cool story, bes! Thanks for the link.
i saw a clip i hadnt seen before last week - i think theyre in America and its after Chapman has died and theyre all sat on chairs been interviewed and they have an urn with Chapmans ashes on sat on his own chair
They are such a part of modern culture. It should be against the law to badly repeat Monty Python skits.
Oh no it shouldn't.
Please. If I hear another cowboy yelling out a poorly accented "albatross!!??" again it will be too soon.
Or endless renditions of the "Parrot Shop" skit by the same guy at work for 20 years? Please!
Crunchy frog?

Watched it in a cinema in Honolulu and was laughing my head off while a lot of the audience just sat bemused by the whole movie.

Has anyone ever heard of this pre-Python show? At last the 1948 show.
Marty Feldman and John Cleese in this vid, but there are others from this show.
Oh yes indeed. I can well remember that. Marty Feldman was just so funny. He also had his own show on the Beeb for a while in the late 1960's.
Try this for a chuckle;
In one sketch on 1 March 1967, Feldman's character harassed a patient shop assistant (played by Cleese) for a series of fictitious books, achieving success with Ethel the Aardvark Goes Quantity Surveying.
Never have heard of that. Do you think any of the sketches are on Youtube?
Yep, I think there are a few on there. I may go and look for myself, but I know if I do, I'll spend the rest of the night watching 'em. There again, you could waste time in far worse ways :)
