April 21, 20187 yr Since Netflix will be bringing back their full catalog some time this year and it got my thinking about watching them on channel 13 growing up. I've seen all the movies but I doubt I have seen all the episodes. I'm looking forward to getting to watch them all. So I'm curious what was your favorite skit or scene from the Beatles of comedy?
April 21, 20187 yr Too many to mention. The Cheese Shop, Four Yorkshiremen, Dead Parrot, the one with the granny gang, The Larch, Upperclass Twit of the Year, The Lumberjack Song, The Ministry of Silly Walks, Crunchy Frog, Albatross, I'm not sure if Sit on My Face was from the show or not, Spam, Nudge Nudge, The Spanish Inquisition. I remember one where there were "climbers" scaling a sidewalk, I don't remember what that one was called. Oh, also the self defense one. Thats what I've got off the top of my head. My uncle turned me on to the show when I was a pre-teen during a gathering at my grandma's house. I don't think many in the family got it. I thought it was great and watched it whenever I could catch it on PBS. One time a friend told me about this funny movie he saw where they were catapulting cows from a castle. Later I came across it myself and discovered the Holy Grail. Love me some Python.
April 21, 20187 yr I saw the first episode aired on CH13 and was instantly hooked. Used to have a "Monty Python is a twit" shirt that the principal made me take off and banned it. Edited April 21, 20187 yr by RPM

April 21, 20187 yr Piranha Brothers is great, WWII flying aces banter skit, Undertaker, Silly Party elections, Blackmail, just the way they segued from one skit to the next. First time I saw them was on Channel 8, the PBS station in Houston, on a Saturday night at midnight. This was one from the last couple of seasons that had no audience or laugh track, totally blew my mind.

April 22, 20187 yr Fish slapping never fails to make me laugh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8XeDvKqI4E Edited April 22, 20187 yr by yoladu
April 23, 20187 yr Argument Clinic... "I'd like to have an argument please."This is the one that first came to mind for me. I also first saw it as a little kid on PBS channel 13 in dallas, blew my mind. There had never been anything remotely close to this kind of humor.I always thought Graham Chapman, along with Cleese was the funniest guy. Also loved the “that’s a woody kind of word” skit...
April 23, 20187 yr 21 hours ago, Matuka said: The Blancmange... "He means to win Wimbledon!" Yes, the entire Angus Podgorny saga is hilarious. I liked when Python did longer skits like this. Infact the "The Cycling tour" skit may be one of my favorites as it is the only one with a linear storyline that takes the entire episode. "
April 23, 20187 yr Ministry of Silly Walks is first thing to come to mind. Also the pall bearers who get tired so they take turns riding in the coffin

April 27, 20187 yr Cyril Connally? No, semi-carnally. (soft singing) Cyril Connally.. Have all their albums, some of the sketches are even better on record than TV...
