And now for something completely different -- and how. The brainy members of the Python troupe present sketches from the absurd to the obscure, and milk humor out of anything they come across. Just mention the "Dead Parrot" sketch, the "Ministry of Funny Walks" or "Spam," and you'll get a chorus of Python fans chiming in with the best lines.

Cyrus S 07/25/2024 Still great, still amazing, still Python. See more Erik B 03/05/2024 The consummate Flying Circus experience. There are a ton of well-known sketches in this series, including the famous "Spam" sketch. Comedy gold. See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis 07/13/2021 (all seasons) The influence of Monty Python on comedy is indisputable. Their surreal, absurd brand of humour is not only peerless but also deeply satirical, intrinsically unconventional, wholly and multiply subversive. Several of the sketches found herein are, simply put, strokes of genius, written and performed to excellence by the independent, self-contained sextet. However, it is rather hard to overlook the amounts of filler material included in most of the episodes and even more so in the final season. See more Read all reviews
