A satirical British comedy group consisting of Michael Palin, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones, Eric Idle and Terry Gilliam. It is full of simultaneously intelligent and infantile humour, the likes of which can send you to the floor convulsing. It has produced a television series, 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' along with four movies: The Meaning of Life, The Holy Grail, And Now For Something Completely Different and my personal favourite, Life of Brian.

a group of brits with the funniest dry humor ever.
often people who claim to love them have only seen the holy grail, even though the flying circus is way better.

An excellent and rather hilarious sketch show which offers a look into a very interesting time period in Britain, crossdressing, and a glance into the minds of those who are very comfortably walking the line between genius and insanity. However, the humor of this has been diminished as of late by all the 12 year old nerds quoting it in bad English accents

The greatest comedy troupe I've ever seen. Michael Palin, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Eric Idle make up the group. They're all still alive except for Graham Chapman. Famous for the Flying Circus and the Holy Grail, but there's also the Meaning of Life and Life of Brian.

over rated, out dated, british comedy troupe from the 70's. Funny for a while, then fizzes with age.
works under pretense of intelectualism that dazzles pretentious college/high school kids who think they're smart when they get some of the jokes.

Excert from monty python and the holy grail:
One day, lad, all this will be yours!
What, the curtains?
No. Not the curtains, lad. All that you can see, stretched out over the hills and valleys of this land! This'll be your kingdom, lad.
But Mother--
Father, lad. Father.
B-- b-- but Father, I don't want any of that.
Listen, lad. I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.
But I don't want any of that. I'd rather--
Rather what?!
I'd rather...
music
...just... sing!
Stop that! Stop that! You're not going into a song while I'm here. Now listen, lad. In twenty minutes, you're getting married to a girl whose father owns the biggest tracts of open land in Britain.
B-- but I don't want land.
Listen, Alice,--
Herbert.
'Erbert. We live in a bloody swamp. We need all the land we can get.
But-- but I don't like her.
Don't like her?! What's wrong with her?! She's beautiful. She's rich. She's got huge... tracts o' land!
I know, but I want the-- the girl that I marry to have...
music
...a certain,... special... something!
Cut that out! Cut that out! Look, you're marrying Princess Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea!

"how do you know she is a witch"
"She looks like one"
"I'm not a witch! I'M not a witch! They dressed me up like this and this isn't my nose it's a false one."
"I see. Eh.. Did you dress her up like this?"
"Well, nose a bit. Yeah a bit."
"Tell me. What do you do with witches?"
"Burn them! Burn!"
"And then why do witches burn. Hmmm.."
"Because they're, made of wood?"
"So how do you tell if she is made of wood?"
"Eh.. Build a bridge out of 'er"
"But can not you also build bridges out of stone?"
"Oh yeah"
"Does wood sink in water?"
"No no it floats. Throw her into the pond!"
"Wait! What also floats in water?"
"Umm.. very small rocks. churches. lead!"
"A duck"
"presicly!"
"So logically.."
"If she weighs the same as a duck, then shes made outta wood."
"And therefore"
"She's a witch!"
