spam is a brand name for a canned, meat by-product that no one claims to like.

"MR. NEUTRON" IS THE FUNNIEST THING THEY EVER DID! and they did a lot of really funny things on their show.

In the Dead Parrot sketch Michael Palin ad libbed his “slug” line. This through John off, making him forget his next line. Thinking it would be a gag, he turned to the audience and asked them what his next line was. He was floored when the entire audience yelled the line back to him.

If you want a longer version of the lumberjack song, start with him as a barber, and then becomes a lumberjack.

I was at school when Monty Python was first broadcast. This was before you could record programs so next day at school we would try to remember every sketch, word for word.

These are the things I grew up with that warped my mind for life. 🤪 Of course, in those days, I was only a tea boy named Raymond Luxury Yacht.

The version she watched wasn't from a Flying Circus episode (though she probably doesn't realize it). Instead, it's from the film And Now for Something Completely Different, which is a bunch of Flying Circus sketches redone and put on the silver screen to introduce Americans to Monty Python. The pairing works because the Pythons generally didn't have punchlines to sketches (Nudge-Nudge is the big exception because Idle wrote it before Python). So the pairing works, and isn't any worse than the two separate since the ending to the Dead Parrot sketch is kind of phoning it in. The two were in separate episodes with different writing teams: Dead Parrot was in the eighth episode (first season) and written by Cleese and Chapman (though the original incident that inspired this happened to Palin and involved a car; there's a version with a car from At Last the 1948 Show (edit: you know what? I think it was from the BBC TV special How to Irritate People instead) and the Lumberjack Song was in the next episode and written by Palin and Jones and a friend of theirs. (Which is odd; Eric Idle usually wrote the musical sketches, and Palin/Jones sketches are usually absurdly intellectual, like summarizing Proust in 15 seconds). You can tell the original Dead Parrot sketch because it's shot on videotape and thus has a different look than the film, and instead of going into the Lumberjack Song, it goes into the shopkeeper recommending Mr. Praline (a Cleese recurring character) go to visit his brother's shop in Bolton. After some deceit and confusion about Ipswich and Bolton (and Terry Jones playing a British Railways employee), it ends back in the shop, with the Colonel (a Graham Chapman recurring character) strutting in and pronouncing the sketch shut down for being too silly. Original here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iKGlvMyPfNLRfJs.html The Lumberjack Song (again, also on videotape) originally transitioned from a sketch wherein Palin is playing a bad butcher (Terry Jones is the client). Aside from the change in profession, it's otherwise identical (though I see in the film that Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Eric Idle are among the mounties, when I didn't see them in the original).

There was this plain guy in a trenchcoat walking along the tracks talking in a boring educational voice about the railroad, and this guy telling the story almost couldn't control his laughter in anticipation for what he thought was the build-up to a Monty Python sketch.

These episodes really need to be watched end to end. They often have a theme or skits run together or are spread thru the show. American TV made the mistake of chopping them up in the 70s. We had heard the records and watched on PBS but when ABC ruined them so any new viewers didn’t understood them as a result

Anarchic comedy at its very best. Python brought something new and refreshing to British TV in the late 60s/early 70s. This is but one of many fine examples of their work …

You've got to do the song "sit on my face" by these guys!

It was surprising how popular Monty Python was/is in America, pretty sure when they toured here even back in the 1980's they'd have huge audiences all over the states. There were not very many large audiences for most British shows/franchises in America but besides Doctor Who, which became popular here long after it's original season as far as I know, Monty Python was fairly popular here when it first showed up on American television. My dad was pretty young when he saw this show and he still loves it and eventually my brothers and I bought him the dvd collection of the entire show roughly 15 years ago and he still has them, lol.

What you were watching was "And Now For Something Completely Different", which was theatrical film reenacted the skits from "The Flying Circus " In "The Flying Circus", the character Michael Palin was playing, before wanting to be a lumberjack, he was a homicidal barber.

OMG, you will likely love "Fawlty Towers". Very great, short lived, John Cleese series.

And now for something completely different... I think there were about four seasons of the Flying Circus (the show these sketches come from), so there's heaps of content to keep you amused for a while yet.

Another series you need to try is "Fawlty Towers." It stars John Cleese (the Nearly Headless Nick guy) at his best. Also Connie Booth (the woman in the Lumberjack song). I think there were only 2, maybe 3 seasons, but almost every episode is a gem. Based on an actual hotel the Monty Python crew stayed at and John Cleese recognized it as comedy gold. Michael Palin also did some travel shows that are very enjoyable.

So you found this classic. Haven't seen your reaction yet (will in a moment). Hope you appreciated it. One of the very best skits ever.

Actually it was one of their sketches but was in their first movie "And now for something completely different " not a lot of people know that

Classic!!! Here is another one "Nuns on the Run"

So good to revisit the beginnings of your Python journey Dawn 🤣

This version is from the film they did "And Now for Something Completely Different," which was basically a collection of their most popular sketches from their TV show. On the show, one sketch typically bled into another in some sort of weird fashion, often with an even weirder animation by Terry Gilliam (the one American of the group, who did the animations in "Holy Grail"). Or one of them would break in in the middle of a sketch to make some comment or send you off to the next sketch before the first was even "finished." Watching the shows themselves is worth a go - though at half-an-hour each, they may get a little long for reviews as there's a lot of them. Often, there were running gags throughout an entire episode. For instance, in one episode, they had a sketch where animals were exploding (for no particular reason), so in all of the following sketches there was often an animal that just exploded somewhere in the background, until in the final sketch (Psychiatrist Dairies), the characters pass a sign that says "To the Zoo" and in the background we just *hear* explosions. The show got me through highschool in the 70s. ;)

I really like watching Dawn's journey. It's cheering and fascinating. I was very small when the Flying Circus was first on TV. Watching it became a thing I did with my dad. It grew, in funniness for me, over the years. It became a paradigm around 1991. So Monty Python is my kind of humour. It's entirely possible that everything that creases me up is derived from Monty Python. To watch a much younger woman, who I have assumed is 'one of them millennials', getting acquainted with one of the grand-sires of so much of today's comedy, was extremely alarming at first. How different can they be? Very different, it seems. However, Dawn seems to be progressing fast with the Python. And I love watching how she's equally amused and enthralled. Both things are going on. It would be so easy for her to stick to her comfort zone. It's sometimes trendy to eschew Python as being too dense and cerebral (I have, before, been mocked for liking it). Well done to Dawn for allowing the alchemical blend of psychological responses to mature unchallenged. Ethel the Frog and Spiny Norman. (I'm not sure how, or even if, I survived it.) That's the Malmsey, though. She needs to train her palate up for that (it's not one for the 'emetic fans').

Their first year on television they pushed the boundaries as far as they could because no one was paying attention to what they were doing since they were on so late at night. Then, when the higher-ups started paying attention before the second season they tried to curtail a lot of the swearing and inappropriateness that they read in the scripts, but they could say "We did that last year and there were no complaints and no problems, so you should let us keep doing it." :-D And, yeah, probably nothing in this clip appropriate for the little miss. :-D And I'll recommend the Mafia vs. the Army/Army Protection Racket sketch.

Pretty sure this is the remake version from the film and not the original sketch. Michael says, "Dear Papa" instead of "Mama" at the end. Movie version. Both are good.

The Dead Parrot sketch was based on a similar sketch involving a car and a used car salesman with Michael Palin and Graham Chapman in "How to Irritate People", which was inspired by an actual event involving Chapman and a used car salesman. If you're a Michael Palin fan, check out his multiple BBC travelogue series. The first one was "Around the World in Eighty Days", in which he follows the path of Phineas Fogg in the book and tries to travel around the world in eighty days without air travel. It's a travel show, not a comedy, but it is hosted by Palin, so it has plenty of humorous commentary. Worth checking out, if you're a fan.

Have some Python thoughts. Comments about "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" are correct. Especially Eric Idol's portion of the "Argument Sketch." Check out Monty Python's "Big Red Book" for an inside look at where some of their ideas came from. Terry Gilliam, as the animator, worked alone. Eric Idol also worked alone as he did the music & lyrics. Listen to "Eric the Half Bee". An audio reaction would be interesting from their recordings. "Matching Tie and Handkerchief" is worth a listen. Terry Jones and Michael Palin collaborated on sketches. As did John Cleese and Dr. Graham Chapman. Dr. Chapman was an alcoholic. He couldn't contribute enormously to the collaboration with Mr. Cleese. Other sketches to consider reactions to are "The Bruces" and anything with the twits "Mr. Gumby", Twit of the Year". R.I.P. Dr. Graham Chapman and Mr. Terry Jones. In closing, remember to give a whistle and always look on the bright side of life.
