    I've actually fallen on the floor laughing only two or three times in my life.
    One of them was when watching a Python skit.
    "Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
    And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
    I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman

    Back in my HS day in the early 90's, "Holy Grail" or "And Now For Something Completely Different" were regular rentals.

    "Flying Circus" was one of my first Netflix binges.

    He’s not pining, he’s passed on!

    The Parrot Sketch made a brief appearance at my Uncle’s funeral 25 years ago this month. As we were getting out of the car Dad noticed the feet of the fake dove on an arrangement were stapled to the perch. He pointed and asked my sister and I what it reminded us of and all 3 of us got to laughing. I know my Uncle would’ve gotten a kick out of it!

    Hard to pick favorite sketches or scenes. The mouse organ is pretty brilliant. So is the rat catcher wainscotting bit. But my favorite might be Sir Lancelot charging the castle.

    Quite possibly the greatest comic troop ever. I wonder how much longer they will be celebrated in their native land before the PC crowd has them declared hateful? As I recall, John Cleese no longer resides in Great Britain (I think he moved to Bermuda) largely due to the PC culture that has metastasized throughout much of England.
