I just didn't get it, or why the Yanks thrive on it. Granted, a few sketches were legendary, but it did absolutely nothing for me, although I did like 'Doug and Dinsdale' a shameless rip-off of Ronnie and Reggie Kray.
Much preferred Spike Milligans Q8 with its nudity

what about spikes theres a lot of it about with julia breck.

fancy me forgetting the pirahna brothers.

......the high-rise abbatoir (complete with rotating knives) is seldom far my thoughts during my daily commute......

Well.....Python DID have Terry Jones playing the Hammond organ, nekkid.
AND Carol Cleveland.......OK, not up to Julia Breck in the, errr...chest department, but.......

Some of the Pythons stuff was and is still hilarious, but I seem to be in the minority as well, I found some of their stuff absolutely tedious, just TOO stupid and pointless, seem to remember that Ben Dovers better half Linzie Drew featured quite heavily in the nudity stakes of spikes Q8 show though which wasn?t a bad thing.

Like all ground-breaking comedy (or indeed any art-form) you have to take risks and experiment- and they may not all work. I can remember some dire scenes in the Python TV series- but the high number of incredible hits made the former seem trivial.

You mean like the Fish slapping dance/song

I'll leave it up to you as to which basket you think it belongs in

cheers
B....OZ

It still makes me laugh.

Some of it just didn't come off, and some sketches (The Spanish Inquisition is a good example) skated very close to genius without actually achieving it.

Anyone who doesn't laugh at Sam Peckinpah's Salad Days doesn't deserve a sense of humour.

I LOVE the fish-slapping dance: the sight of two grown men being daft, dressed in tropical gear on a rainy day in Richmond, with two large stuffed salmon, like the Ministry of Silly Walks, speaks volumes about the British sense of snobbery and class, and the human condition in general.


OK, it's just SO fucking funny.
I can't help it........
