Monty Python

“	...And now for somecuppitydifferent!	”
Chris, Trying to Quote Monty Python from flabbie asspie lips

Monty Python's Flying Circus is a British sketch-comedy TV series, created in the late 1960s by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin. It ran for five years on BBC2, becoming a phenomenon in Great Britain and later developing a strong cult following in the United States as well. The troupe followed up the TV show by producing three feature films, including the classic Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

The show's sense of humor is difficult to categorize. It combines satire, surrealism, cultural references, the deft use of non sequitur, and liberal doses of vulgarity that often made it controversial in its time. One way to define the Python style of comedy, though, might be this: imagine if Chris's infamous random-access humor were actually somehow made funny.

Chris and the Pythons

Chris is a fan of the Monty Python comedy productions -- he's bought almost $50 worth of Python videos through his PlayStation Network account -- and as is the case with every other form of entertainment he enjoys, views them as an excellent source of material to steal for his own comics and videos. Gags Chris has ripped from Python TV sketches and movies include:

• The entire Black Knight sketch from Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail during his battle with Merried Seinor Comic.
• The catchphrase "...And now for something completely different" (or "somecummpentydifferent" as he mispronounced it). See CWCFlyingElephants.
• A Hedgehog stealing Jimmy Hill's teeth. (Spiny Norman, from "Piranha Brothers". Chris probably likes this because that thing is a hedgehog. By stealing Jimmy Hill's teeth, he's obviously failing in both violence and sarcasm.)
