MONTY PYTHON SKITS

The dead parrot, the cheese shop, Biggles, and a Bleeding heck of a lot more! Here, you can find reviews on all their best skits, movies, and books. It's all here!

Monty Python started out as a group that didn't know eachother existed. John Cleese was going to be a doctor, and Terey Gilliam was going to... well, be himself, but that not the point! The piont is that they have united, filmed, and made us laugh.  One of Monty Pythons best known skits is the dead parrot skit. In this Skit, John Cleese, and Michael Palen star. Michael has apparently sold John a dead parrot nailed to it's perch, and John is not at all pleased when he comes back less than half an hour later. This is an absolutly amusing skit, especially when John bangs the dead parrot on the counter, tosses it up, and sais that "that, my friend, is a dead parrot!" And Michael come back with, "No, no, it's resting." This is laugh-out-loud-at-a-dinner-party kind of funny.

Another famous skit of Monty Python is the Cheese Shop. This skit stars John Cleese and Michael Palen. It starts out really slow, but picks up gradually. John is asking for a delightful bit of cheese. Each time, he is only replie with something like, "I'm sorry sir, we don't have that", or, "No...", or Not today sir". John thinks of every kind of cheese he can think of, only to find out with frustation that the entire shop has no cheese in it at all. The funniest parts of it is when John Cleese yells at the annoying dancers to stop because the music is loud and, and annoying. And when he asks the employee, "Do you really consider this a cheese shop at all?" Michael replies, "Yes sir." John asks, "Why? How can you consider this a cheese shop?" Michael replies, "Well, it's so clean, sir." John smartly remarks, "Well, it's most certainly not contaminated by cheese!"

One of the best skits played by the Monty Python group is one their last. It was titled, "The Oscar Wild Skit." If you have their tapes of skits and shows, it is on the last one. This skit had a famous play writer, Oscar Wild, say some pretty stupid stuff in front of His Magesty. It is a pretty wild skit, (no pun intended) and you better laugh atleast once! Oscar eventually sais, "Your Magesty is like a stream of bats wizz." His Magesty is very surprised and askes what he did to deserve this treatment. Oscar sais, "Uh, well, I uh, um. Well, what I meant your Magesty, is that you are like a beautiful shaft of gold that shines out through the darkest of times." Everyone is amazed at the great save.

Another one of the best skits is the Biggles skit. Biggles, in case you didn't know, is an old fictional character in English comic books. He flys his bi-plain, and saves England from bad people. Well, in this skit, Biggles is the same fictional character, but he's really wierd. See, he makes dumb remarks about other fictional characters, and he looks very secious! He even has this secratary that calls him, "Senior Biglegs" and he hates that! So he is with his secratary, and he is dictating a letter Princess Harker. (Who ever that is!) And he is thanking her for the eels that she sent him, and how they tasted really reagal. A lot of weird stuff happens in this skit, it is really just something that your gonna have to watch.

Here is a great skit! Not much to say about it, but it is mainly a whole bunch a guys who are going to atempt Pheasant hunting, this seems to be a complete failure. They shoot at pretty much anything; parachuters, grass,falling eggs, eachother, the sky. Every thing except the Pheasants. In the end, they killed only one, and they are carrying it on a log as if it were a deer. This is bleeding funny if your the kinds of guy that can see how many times they goof up (Which is about 50 times!). This skit has no name, but it is worth the laugh!
