And now for something completely different...It's...Monty Python's Flying Circusnote Or as heard in the intro sequence, Mon-TEE Py-thons-a Flying Cir-cassss..., a British Sketch Comedy television series featuring the comedy troupe Monty Python that originally aired on The BBC from 1969 to 1974. The success of its uniquely surreal lunacy has also generated four spinoff films to date, each featuring the same troupe in multiple roles before and behind the camera.In its native country, the show is considered by many to be one of the best British television programmes ever made, with the Pythons themselves regarded as essentially The Beatles of comedy (John Lennon and George Harrison were in fact huge fans, and Ringo Starr made a brief cameo in one episode). Monty Python invaded America with rebroadcasts on local PBS stations, two ABC late-night specials in 1975 (albeit horribly edited by the network, resulting in the Pythons winning rights to the master tapes in court) and a 1988 video release. They found a relatively small but devoted and appreciative audience stateside through the films and public television airings, influencing many American sketch comedy series over the years. On either side of the Atlantic, the show is now so firmly entrenched in pop culture that quoting a line from almost any sketch or one of the films triggers either a hail of quotes or a chorus of groans.The show became so popular abroad that in 1971 and 1972, the Pythons produced two special episodes for West German and Austrian television under the title Monty Pythons fliegender Zirkus at the Bavaria studios in Munich. The first was done in German (memorised phonetically as none of them spoke the language), the second in English, and consisted mostly of material not seen before (although there is a German version of the Lumberjack song) note Some of the sketches — as in the case of some Python stage show material — were in fact taken from old At Last the 1948 Show scripts. An English-language motion picture, And Now for Something Completely Different, featuring remakes of many sketches from the series, was released by Columbia Pictures while the series was still on the air.After their original run ended, the Python troupe made besides their own films many more in various non-Python-related collaborations, and all its members went on to continued success in film, television and other media. However Monty Python, as a troupe, disbanded upon the death of member Graham Chapman (though fans often consider any film with two or more members of the troupe in it as a Python film despite this).As noted above, the show's seemingly random but actually highly sophisticated humour has spawned its own adjective — "Pythonesque". Anything can happen during any given sketch, and usually does. Sketches end without punchlines, or the Pythons sometimes just stop mid-sketch and declare it all to be "too silly". Although the Pythons weren't the first to use these methods, they made them into an art form: postmodern, self-referential comedy, punctuated by Gilliam's absurdist animations and starring a whole lot of odd men in drag.Thanks for some of the description go to Monty Python's Completely Useless Web Site, which has loads of current information on the cast, clips, and a supply of original scripts.To mark the original show's 50th anniversary, a remastered and upscaled "Norwegian Blu-ray" edition, restoring some content cut by the BBC and unseen for decades, was released in the autumn of 2019. A scaled-down DVD release of the restored episodes followed in 2022.Vote on your favourite sketch here!

The Disease That Shall Not Be Named
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_16838478
comment
The Disease That Shall Not Be Named: Like so: The original line was "cancer", spoken with the same voice. The female, English-accented narrator is deliberately badly overdubbed by the male, American-accented Terry Gilliam for the word "gangrene". And Now For Something Completely Different redoes the cartoon and keeps "cancer". On Gilliam's disc of the the Monty Python's Personal Best DVD compilation, the word "cancer" is skillfully edited back into the TV version using the audio from the film. On the 2019 Blu-ray set the original audio is reinstated, apparently from an off-air recording of the original broadcast. The "Conquistador Coffee Campaign" sketch also got censored, because of its reference to cancer. Once again, the Blu-ray restores the original.

Anti-Humor: Sketches don't have punchlines and often are interrupted without a satisfactory payoff. The one sketch with a punchline (at the insistence of the BBC), the Restaurant Sketch, was designed to elicit boos from the audience at the end. It's even deliberately lampshaded with a title card right before Chapman says the actual punchline.

Dead All Along
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_1b590025
comment
Then there's the "Dead Parrot" sketch, in which it's a bit too late for proper animal care; though bad animal care on the part of the incompetent pet shop owner is almost certainly the reason the parrot is no more, has ceased to be, and is an ex-parrot. (Also combined with Artistic License – Ornithology, as there's no such thing as a Norwegian blue parrot.)

Haplessly Hiding: The sketch "How Not to Be Seen" has the first two people hiding. The narrator tells them to stand up, they comply, whereupon they are promptly shot dead. The third person stays put. Unfortunately, "he has chosen a very obvious piece of cover." The bush he's hiding behind promptly blows sky-high.

The Cheese Shop sketch opens with a man entering said shop; inside, a group are playing a bouzouki and dancing. The shopkeeper initially thinks that the customer has come in to complain about the music. Nearly at the end of the sketch, the customer turns around and cries "Will you shut that bloody dancing up!" The shopkeeper turns to camera and remarks "Told you so."

Vomiting Cop: Live performances of the "Crunchy Frog" sketch had Constable Parrot (Terry Gilliam) vomit into his hat, onstage, after Inspector Praline mentions "Anthrax Ripple," as seen in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. After having done so, Praline orders Parrot to put the hat back on — which he does. Cue the vomit sliding down Gilliam's face. note After running offstage pretending to be sick, Gilliam had filled his mouth with cold beef stew before going back onstage.

comment
Only Sane Man: Inverted. If anything, John Cleese was the Least Insane Man. In-show, the Colonel often tries to act as this by stopping sketches before they become too 'silly'. Amusingly played with: either the characters are insane, or they're too dull to be normal. Chartered accountacy, according to multiple sketches, basically either attracts or turns anyone involved in it into boring dullards even by normal standards, and someone insane like Cleese's Vocational Guidance Counselor is suddenly sane by comparison.

Anticlimax: Done deliberately with the much hyped Page 71! of the second Python book: It's just a page with PAGE 71 written on it in enormous letters. Followed by a reviews page; "Oh, what a disappointment." Ms. Anne Elk spends a lot of time building up to her theory on brontosaurii with a long series of throat-clearing coughs. Her theory (her first one, anyway) is that "All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end."

Cooking the Live Meal: One of the numerous absurd transition scenes in And Now For Something Completely Different in which the announcer (Cleese) says the movie's title phrase features the announcer in a suit and tie being roasted on a spit over an open fire by three middle-aged British ladies. Though the spit appears to be going through his chest, the announcer is alive and well and seems quite indifferent towards the situation.

Mythology Gag: The "Silly Job Interview" sketch was originally performed by Cleese and Tim Brooke-Taylor for the comedy special How to Irritate People. It was also this special where the term "Pepperpot" originated to refer to "a particular type of middle-aged woman who uses irritation as a way of life". A sketch involving a car salesman later evolved into the infamous "Dead Parrot" sketch.

Bilingual Bonus: Like other Monty Python works, Flying Circus has a few moments for those who know other languages. The Chinese that John Cleese recites at the beginning of the "Conquistador Coffee" sketch, for example, translates "This is my friend Fu Chen Chang. My name is Gao; what's your name?" Especially awesome in this case, because "gao" is Chinese for "tall", which Cleese most certainly is. The sketch of Spanish musicians singing about the dangers of llamas is even funnier because while their facts are absurd, their Spanish is right on.

Captain Oblivious
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_2ae7bc4b
comment
Captain Oblivious Mr. Pither from "Cycling Tour" just doesn't understand that no-one is interested in his cycling tour. The most egregious case is a couple who are arguing over their relationship problems: his interference leads to the woman dumping the man; the man throws him out of the restaurant, which he just shrugs off; and when he passes the woman who is crying her eyes out, he comments that he had a "chat with her dad" before taking off. Also, Ron Obvious (who, oddly enough, is not a Captain Obvious, despite his name). He never notices that his agent is trying to get him to do crazy stunts, despite his increasingly massive injuries, until he finally dies from one of them. Which the agent tries to claim is another stunt.

My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting: The team took a lot of shots at the British class system, most memorably in the "Upper Class Twit Of The Year" sketch. The British military also got mocked a lot.

Strangely Specific Horoscope
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_2d30ecda
comment
Strangely Specific Horoscope: The newspaper prints horoscopes for strangely specific dates of birth. Derry & Tomsnote Named after a London department store: April 29 to March 22 (even dates only): You have green, scaly skin, and a soft yellow underbelly with a series of fin-like ridges running down your spine and tail. Although lizardlike in shape, you can grow anything up to thirty feet in length with huge teeth that can bite off great rocks and trees. You inhabit arid sub-tropical zones and wear spectacles. Basil: June 21 to June 22: You have green, scaly skin, and a series of yellow underbellies running down your spine and tail.... Aquarius, while not being noted as having an out of the ordinary date, has the horoscope "Roger Moore will drop in for lunch, bringing Tony Curtis with him. In the afternoon a substantial cash sum will come your way. In the evening Petula Clark will visit your home accompanied by The Mike Sammes singers. She will sing for you in your own living room. Before you go to bed, Peter Wyngarde will come and declare his undying love for you."

Hidden Depths: The Pepperpots. Despite supposedly being squeaky voiced caricatures of lower middle class housewives; they always show an enormous amount of knowledge of history, philosophy and art (one sketch concerned an argument about the real meaning of Jean Paul Sartre's work; apparently they were on first name terms with his wifenote In reality, Sartre never married.).

I Am Not Shazam
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_30575a1d
comment
I Am Not Shazam: invoked This was almost averted since Michael Palin's original idea was to call it "Gwen Dibley's Flying Circus" after a neighbor of his named Gwen Dibley, because, he reasoned, wouldn't it be great to give someone their own TV show without them knowing about it? Played with in the 30th Anniversary Special, when Idle presents a mock biography of the non-existent Mr. Python. Further played with in the playbills for Spamalot, which include a small bio for Monty Python in the "Cast & Crew Bios" section. The bio presents him as a faceless Man Behind the Man who secretly runs the troupe from the shadows, but admits outright that nobody knows if he even exists.

Caption Humor: This show was a frequent user of this trope, arguably a Trope Codifier. At one point in the frequently-restarted "Ypres 1914" sketch, the caption shows "Knickers 1914" at the beginning. During the "Spanish Inquisition" sketch, there are captions for "Diabolical Laughter" and "Diabolical Acting". During the "New Brain" sketch, whenever prices are mentioned, a caption pops up showing the price after decimalization of the currency.note This occurred on 15 February 1971. At the beginning of "It's the Arts", one set: "Arthur Figgis". "...The same, a few seconds later".

Mindless Sheep: One sketch in the first series features a businessman (played by Terry Jones) meeting a shepherd (played by Graham Chapman) and observing the unusual behaviour of his sheep- some of them are nesting in trees, some of them are travelling the field by hopping on two legs, and some of them are trying to fly from tree to tree- and, being sheep, miserably failing and plummeting to the ground instead. The shepherd reveals that the sheep think they're birds, and even the ewes are trying- unsuccessfully- to teach their lambs to fly.

Pursue the Dream Job: A barber gives it all up to become a lumberjack. He has a hair phobia and he never really wanted to be a barber anyway. A chartered accountant wants to pursue a career as a lion tamer, but he is discouraged from doing that by a vocation guidance counsellor, who says his aptitude test shows he's perfectly suited for a career in chartered accountancy. Sadly, his ideas about lions are also quite twisted.

Nothing Is Funnier: "The Funniest Joke In The World", which is so funny that anyone who reads it will die laughing; therefore, the audience never learns the joke because it's too dangerous for them. Instead, the skit revolves around how the joke passed hands across history, and the various people that died from reading it. In a meta sense, the joke itself could very well live up to its name, since it's funnier than what anyone could conjure up.

Planet of Steves: The Bruces. There was an incredible number of people named Arthur, and an even greater number named Ken or Eric. In the "Fish License" sketch, Eric Praline (one of the recurring characters, most known for being the customer in the Dead Parrot sketch) argues with another apparently called Eric. It also turns out that all of his pets are called Eric, and he carries around books documenting the same thing with other people ("Kemal Ataturk: The Man" by E.W. Swanton) in case people would call him a loony for it. (The record version of the sketch segues into a song, with Mr. Praline announcing, "Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!") Whicker Island.

Happy Circus Music: A strange example. The show's theme song is "The Liberty Bell," an upbeat brass band march tune by John Philip Sousa. The Pythons mainly chose it because it was in the public domain, but it does fit the "Circus" in the title (which was chosen by BBC executives), along with the wacky and surreal nature of the show.

Cutlery Escape Aid: In the "Escape from Film" sketch, the President of the Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things announces to the other members that the room is surrounded by film. They decide to tunnel their way out uses the cutlery and make a schedule of two hours tunneling, two hours vaulting over a horse, and two hours sleeping.

Joke Title, Real Role: One famous sketch opens with Graham Chapman's character being pestered by Carol Cleveland. He gets fed up at her constant questions and says, "I didn't expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition!" Suddenly, a bunch of Spanish cardinals burst in the room while a dramatic orchestral sting plays, with their leader exclaiming "NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!"

Pseudolympics: One sketch is about the Olympic Hide-and-Seek finals. One of the German specials features the Silly Olympics (the film of which was recycled for the stage shows), an event held traditionally every 3.7 years, with events such as the 100-meter dash for people with no sense of direction, the 1500 meter dash for the deaf (who fail to go because they can't hear the starting gun), the freestyle swim race for people who can't swim ("we'll return to this event as soon as all the corpses are fished out") and the cross-country race for incontinents (who break away every five seconds to relieve themselves on the roadside).

Affably Evil: The apologetic mass murderer, whose expressions of remorse ultimately lead the whole courtroom to honour him with a chorus of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow". The polite airplane hijacker in episode 16 combines this with Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain. Cleese's cheerful Vocational Guidance Counsellornote The only Python sketch taken wholesale from How to Irritate People; the Python performances are funnier, who torments Chapman's applicant in the guise of an interview. In series 4, the nurse who attacks patients; and, to a slightly lesser extent, her doctor, who makes her agonised victims fill out exam papers before he'll treat them.

When it cuts back to the host, all he can say is "telling figures, indeed".

Weird Historical War: The "Funniest Joke In The World" sketch revolves around the creation of a joke so funny that (unfortunately for the man who made it) people who have any contact with it and understand it inevitably Die Laughing, its use as a battlefield weapon by the British during World War II, the Germans' failed attempt at bridging the "deadly joke" gap and the creation of a section in the Geneva Convention that outlawed its use, which led to the joke being sealed away from human eyes forever.

 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: As noted by History Matters among others, in reality, everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition; people identified for prosecution were typically given one month's notice before trial. Going nitpicky about the clothing, Spanish inquisitors would have not worn the stereotypically Cardinal Richelieu-esque blood red garments used by the troupe there, but their own uniform, which was a white habit with a dark chasuble on top. For that matter, the full red cardinal attire was not in usage in Spain at all, as cardinals over there used a white habit with only a red chasuble instead.

Recurring Characters: Oddly enough, there are a few, including gangster Luigi Vercotti (Michael Palin) and Eric Praline (John Cleese) who attempts to buy a fish license, attempts to return a pet parrot for having died, and arrests Terry Jones for making disgusting confections. Palin also plays a number of smarmy television hosts who are quite similar. And let's not forget Graham Chapman's Colonel character who would end sketches prematurely for being too silly.

Police Are Useless
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_59907e4f
comment
Police Are Useless: One of the Pythons' favourite targets was the British Police. Almost every policeman is stupid and/or insane. A good example is the sketch "I Wish to Report a Burglary." Someone goes to the police station to report a burglary, but due to some issues, Hilarity Ensues as he is shuffled from officer to officer, all the while frustrating the man by forcing him to make his report in different vocal registers. An early sketch has a smuggler trying to smuggle Swiss watches and clocks into England. The man is terrible at covering his tracks, but even when it's revealed that he has a suitcase full of watches, the customs officer makes up ridiculous excuses for the smuggler's behavior. The smuggler is given his suitcase and allowed through, screaming insistance that he is a smuggler...

Career Not Taken
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_59eeb877
comment
Career Not Taken: The famous lumberjack sketch is usually established as one, the Michael Palin character (most often either a homicidal barber or the pet-shop owner from the "Dead-Parrot" Sketch) admitting that they would have preferred to be a lumberjack to their current job. One of the characters in the "Dead Parrot" sketch is a railway attendant. When Mr Praline (the owner of the titular dead parrot) tries to make a complaint to him, he blurts out that he doesn't have to do this job, he's a qualified brain surgeon, and he only works for the railway because they let him be his own boss.

Kangaroo Court: The courtroom in Njorl's Saga. The police superintendent asks if the charge is strictly necessary and is told off by the judge in a stage-whisper that "the press is here!" The constable giving evidence has to be restrained from attacking everyone with a billyclub, cycles through a few different testimonies before landing on the relevant one, and the charge of Assault with a Deadly Weapon was committed with "the big brown table down at the police station."note it was the best we could find, m'lud! An inverted one happens with a man who is guilty of about a dozen murders, all committed within about half an hour. After much wheedling on the murderer's part, the judge agrees to sentence him to prison—but for less than a year, and suspended. Then they sing him off the dock with a chorus of "for he's a jolly good fellow!"

Creative Closing Credits

Creative Closing Credits: A Trope Codifier. One episode's closing credits, right after the "Irving C. Saltzberg" sketch, gave every name the "X C. Y-berg" treatment (Graham C. Chapmanberg, Eric C. Idleberg, etc.) The episode with the "Spam" sketch put everyone's names in menu items (with Spam, of course). The "Blood, Devastation, Death, War & Horror" episode had a Fun With Anagrams Running Gag, and the closing credits had the Python members in anagrams (Rice Lied, Torn Jersey, etc.), as well as the crew's titles. One episode ended with the BBC going bankrupt and having everything taped in a small household (until everyone got kicked out); the closing credits were handwritten on sheets of paper. One of which was an eviction notice. One episode featured a callback to a sketch set in a dirty book shop by including suggestive advertising copy or nicknames in the names of each cast and crew member (Michael "Bulky" Palin, Eand ric Idle (Actual Size - Batteries Extra), etc.). One episode ended with an inept hijacker who had appeared in several sketches reading the credits aloud as the theme music played in the background; he began with "The show was conceived, written, and performed by... the usual lot," although the rest of the credits were played straight. At the end of the episode "Whicker's World", following the "Whicker Island" sketch, had every name with "Whicker" included (John Cleese Whicker, Graham Whicker Chapman, Alan Michael Palin Whicker, etc.) The very last episode lists the cast as "unsuccessful candidates" for election, with the constituencies being their actual hometowns (Graham Chapman—Leicester North, Terry Gilliam—Minneapolis North, Eric Idle—South Shields North, Terry Jones—Colwyn Bay North, Michael Palin—Sheffield North).note Had John Cleese been in the cast, he would have been Weston-super-Mare North.

"The Golden Age of Ballooning": The end credits run at the end of that sketch, about halfway through the episode.

Hilariously Abusive Childhood: The Four Yorkshiremen sketchnote Originally from At Last the 1948 Show starts out with the titular Yorkshiremen talking about being quite happy with their poor and humble beginnings before they start to one-up each other about just how hard and poor their childhoods were, which inevitably becomes impossible and absurd to contemplate them having survived it (such as eating cold gravel every day or being killed by their father every night).

Serious Business: Often Played for Laughs, but subverted by the Society For Putting Things On Top Of Other Things. When the chairman learns that a local chapter hasn't placed a single thing on top of another thing all year, he demands the head of the chapter explain himself. When the chapter head nervously admits that the reason they hadn't was because they'd come to find the whole thing "a bit silly", the chairman initially seems like he's going to flip his lid... before instantly realising that the other man's right, they're all wasting their lives with nonsense, and immediately dissolving the entire society to the approval of everyone else.

The Teaser
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_6e8b95dc
comment
The Teaser/Book Ends: Each episode starts with the "It's Man", either running, swimming or crawling towards the camera from a long distance, or in some dire situation (for example, in the "Face the Press" episode, he's in a cage, presumably in the zoo)) and occasionally with John Cleese sitting behind a desk and saying "And now for something completely different" When he arrives at the camera, he says "It's!" and the opening credits roll - At the end of the show, the "It's Man" will turn and move away from the camera the way he came, or possibly simply be dead (In the above example, nothing is left in the cage but his skeleton) as the closing credits roll.

Game Show: (Or quiz games as they're called in the UK.) "Take Your Pick" (a.k.a. "Spot the Brain Cell") is a parody of a real show with that name and offers a blow on the head as its top prize. "Blackmail" features a smarmy host who threatens to ruin viewers' lives by revealing embarrassing information unless they agree to pay his price. "It's a Living" has a Rules Spiel long enough to take up the entire show and leave no time for the game. "Spot the Looney" is full of them, including the studio panelists.

 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_722b3319
comment
Camp Gay: A frequent source of humor in the show's early days, something about which Terry Jones later expressed regret. It has to be said that Graham Chapman was a real life Straight Gay who hated this stereotype and preferred parodying it to playing it straight (so to speak). Also, when Graham first came out, Barry Took advised the team that the worst thing they could do was to stop making gay jokes.

The courtroom in Njorl's Saga. The police superintendent asks if the charge is strictly necessary and is told off by the judge in a stage-whisper that "the press is here!" The constable giving evidence has to be restrained from attacking everyone with a billyclub, cycles through a few different testimonies before landing on the relevant one, and the charge of Assault with a Deadly Weapon was committed with "the big brown table down at the police station."note it was the best we could find, m'lud!

Japanese Ranguage: "Erizabeth L", in which a Japanese impostor director forces the cast of a serious historical drama to mix up their L's and R's, among other things. Graham Chapman's "bingo-crazed Chinaman" character in "The Cycling Tour" has a problem pronouncing "Cornwall" because of this. In fact, it's safe to say Chapman loved using this trope.

Scaling the Summit
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_7c62a81c
comment
Scaling the Summit: In the "Mountaineering Sketch" a man plans an expedition to the "dual peaks" of Mount Kilimanjaro - except there is only one peak. He has double vision. In "Climbing the North Face of Uxbridge Road", a TV Documentary crew cover a team of mountaineers "ascending" a common London street. They act as if they're climbing a steep, treacherous mountain, but meanwhile pedestrians walk past as normal. At the end of the sketch the lead climber loses his "grip" and "falls" down the street, pulling down his fellow climbers with him. An International Hairdressers' Expedition attempts to climb Everest, facing stiff competition from, among others, a team of chiropodists and a male choir. Eventually 14 expeditions are all attempting the climb simultaneously. So the hairdressers decide to pack in the mountain climbing and instead open a salon for mountaineers.

Gasshole: One Terry Gilliam animation shows a fancy-dress party. A woman excuses herself to "powder her nose." Cue at least fifteen seconds of fart sounds along with very masculine grunting. "The Most Awful Family in Britain" sketch features Terry Jones as the family father, sitting with his trousers down on a commode at the kitchen table. There are no rude sounds, but he's eating a plate of baked beans and occasionally waves a magazine behind him as if fanning the air.

Cultural Translation
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_7d49d74a
comment
Cultural Translation: A few sketches were redone by the German comedy duo of Harald Juhnke and Eddi Arent. The one sketch about the difficult book shop customernote  Originally from At Last the 1948 Show, where it was performed by Cleese and Feldman gets a justification tacked on: Because the salesman's mother owns the shop and has threatened him that she'll disinherit him and give the shop to his brother if he doesn't manage to sell at least one book — that's the explanation why he puts up with the customer neither being able to pay for the book nor to read it. And the famous "Dead Parrot" sketch becomes... brace yourself... upped to eleven (this was probably the intention) with the dead parrot replaced by a plush parrot. And at the end, when the customer points out that the "parrot" he bought is "just a toy", the salesman states philosophically "Aren't we all but God's toys, somehow?", turning around and revealing that he's a wind-up android.

Engagement Challenge: In the second of the German episodes, in order to win the hand of Princess Mitzy, her suitors were required by her father to climb to the tallest tower in the castle, armed only with a sword, and throw themselves out the window. Until the Queen pointed out that the region was running out of princes, and forced the king to change it to running down to the shops to get a pack of Rothmans. Then a second prince stole away the engagement by slaying a (wooden) dragon and claiming the Standard Hero Reward. At which point the original prince called in his evil witch stepmother to reclaim the engagement, and she cursed everyone in the kingdom to be turned into chickens. Including herself. At which point the kingdom was raided by chicken prospectors.

Artistic License – Animal Care: According to the "Fish Club" sketch, goldfish have a ravenous appetite and eat sausages, spring greens, gazpacho, bread and gravy. Then there's the "Dead Parrot" sketch, in which it's a bit too late for proper animal care; though bad animal care on the part of the incompetent pet shop owner is almost certainly the reason the parrot is no more, has ceased to be, and is an ex-parrot. (Also combined with Artistic License – Ornithology, as there's no such thing as a Norwegian blue parrot.)

In the latter case, the trainspotter is played by Michael Palin, who is one of these in Real Life (indeed, Palin's first travel documentary was "Confessions of a Trainspotter").

Real Song Theme Tune: That rousing marching-band music comes courtesy of "The Liberty Bell" (aka "Liberty Bell March") by John Philip Sousa, as performed by the Band of the Grenadier Guards. Not including the splatty noise that cuts off the music, of course.

Helpless with Laughter: In the classic "Killer Joke" sketch, the people who only get a partial exposure to the titular joke (like the people in British Intelligence who translated it to German) don't Die Laughing, but they are still taken away in an ambulance as they are left lying on the ground and laughing uncontrollably for what is implied to be the rest of their lives.

Reference Overdosed
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_8e1aef2d
comment
Reference Overdosed: Zillions of historical and cultural references, especially funny to intellectuals. Apart from that there are also a lot of references to British TV shows, politicians and musicians that are not always that clear to foreign audiences. As Time Marches On many references to 1960s and 1970s events also become obscure. For instance, the "How To Do It?" sketch is a parody of the BBC children's show Blue Peter, which while still extant, has evolved somewhat from its 60s format. The "Election Night Special" sketch is even more funny if you know something about how the way BBC TV broadcasts news about elections. The "Whicker's World" sketch where every inhabitant on a tropical island is a similarly looking journalist is a direct reference to journalist Alan Whicker who indeed had a similarly titled talk show and travel programme. In "The Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch one of the characters in the silent film Cleese shows is not just a random character wearing a high hat and long pointy shoes, but a direct reference to British music hall comedian Little Tich. The "RAF Banter Sketch" is very incomprensible to anyone who never saw an old British war movie where many soldiers indeed talk in a way that resembles Palin and Idle's dialogue in this sketch.

Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: The Pythons didn't think to get permission from DC Comics for using Superman as part of the "Bicycle Repair Man" sketch, and worried afterward. No lawsuit was forthcoming (possibly due to Fair Use by way of parody/satire, and because the sketch did no harm to the brand). Also, SPAM. Hormel, the makers of Spam, didn't mind the use and even advertise their wonderful Spam using the Python Spam references.

Major Injury Underreaction: Zigzagged in "You're No Fun Anymore." A sailor on a ship reacts with the title line when his flogging is through. During the board meeting segment of the sketch, Michael Palin's character is an accountant who proclaims his firm has made a total of a shilling in the last fiscal year, and upon further questioning, that five pence of a further sixpence went to taxes, leaving him a penny short. Under pressure, he admits that he embezzled the penny. John Cleese's character has this reaction: "You naughty person."

Medium Blending: Terry Gilliam's cartoon segments. There were even a few moments when the animation was split-screened with live-action scenes. ("That's clever! How did they do that?" "Colour separation, you cottonhead!")note The remastering on the Blu-rays restores some chroma-keyed segues from animation to live action that got left out of the previous releases. Apparently the show's producer forgot to include them and just left the blue backgrounds in the animation. Gilliam himself appeared in one particular segment. He starts out by explaining how he usually does the animation, complete with a shot of his hands holding the animated cardboard characters, before realizing the segment is already running, at which point he himself appears on-screen to apologise.

Cross-Cast Role
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_985d3ad0
comment
Crosscast Role: All the Pythons dress up as women at least once. Terry Jones and Graham Chapman specialised in squeaky-voiced elderly ratbags, whereas Michael Palin and Eric Idle portrayed rather convincing middle-aged women, and John Cleese and Terry Gilliam were simply bizarre. Subverted in the "Piranha Brothers" sketch. So used are we at this point to seeing the Pythons as women that it comes as a bit of a shock when John Cleese, playing a gangster's moll, announces: "Dinsdale was a gentleman. And what's more, he knew how to treat a female impersonator". Frequent contributor Carol Cleveland, who was dubbed Carol Cleavage by the team, remarked that whenever they had written something for a female character that they thought was funny, they'd almost invariably play that character themselves, whereas if they gave it to her... well, she called herself the "glamour stooge".

Oop North
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_99b2613a
comment
Oop North: Northern English stereotypes - turned on their ears, of course - figure quite prominently in several sketches. In "Our Ken" from the Series 1 episode "Sex and Violence", Graham Chapman and Terry Jones play a seemingly typical working-class Northern couple whose RP-accented son Ken (Eric Idle) has returned to visit them, only to face his father's disapproval for his career path. However, the father turns out to be a successful London playwright (who has sudden attacks of writer's cramp), while Ken has defied him to work in the coal mines in Yorkshire. The first "Spanish Inquisition" sketch opens when Graham Chapman delivers a line about "trouble at t' mill" in a heavy Northern accent to Carol Cleveland... only to have to repeat it several times to make himself understood. He ultimately drops the Northern accent and starts speaking in his normal RP accent, and finally admits he has no idea what the line "One of the cross-beams has gone out askew on the treadle" means anyway.

Word Salad Title: The team specifically wanted a nonsensical title for the programme and considered several. The runners-up were mostly reused as episode titles for Series 1, such as "The Ant, an Introduction" and "Owl-Stretching Time". One title that was never used in an episode (although it was referenced in "Royal Episode 13") is "The Toad Elevating Moment".

Reality Has No Subtitles In the "The Funniest Joke in the World" sketch, the British Army creates a German version of the Joke so they can use it against Nazi troops. There's no translation (mainly because the German version is made up of nonsense words). Good thing, too — understanding it would kill the audience! In the Llama sketch, John Cleese introduces the sketch speaking Spanish without any translation for the audience. Once the Pythons start singing, subtitles for the song appear on the screen.

Left the Background Music On: One sketch starts with a slow pan over the sea, rushing against the seaside cliffs, accompanied by Felix Mendelssohn's Hebrides Overture, but the music suddenly starts skipping...as the camera pans a bit further to reveal a gramophone sitting on the grass. The Cheese Shop sketch has John Cleese's character entering said shop to the sound of the sound of folk music, and actually passes one man playing a bouzouki inside the shop, while two other men are dancing to the music. Cleese's character is at first bemused by this, but eventually he pauses his conversation with the shop-owner and shouts for the assembly to "SHUT THAT BLOODY DANCING UP!"

Rule of Three: The Spanish Inquisition appeared three times, the Bishop theme was played (or at least started) three times, the "piston engine" gag was done three times in a row, and "Mr. Neutron" started with the post office commissioning a new postal box with a speech in English, French, and German.

Obfuscating Stupidity: In the "Village Idiot" sketch, it's revealed that all village idiots are actually quite erudite when no one else is around; they just babble nonsense and fall off walls because it amuses the tourists and provides "a vital psychosocial role" in giving others someone to look down upon.

Look Both Ways In one intro, the It's Man tries to cross a street, but has to dodge to avoid several cars; he makes it to the other side, and is knocked over by a woman with a baby carriage. There was also a vox pop segment where the interviewer tries to get an opinion from a "man in the street", who is promptly run over.

Ms. Fanservice Carol Cleveland, often used when the Pythons needed an actual woman, as opposed to Eric-in-drag. They called her "Carol Cleavage". She was a busty redhead. However, on the few occasions where they needed an actual nude woman, such as "Motor Insurance", they cast other people; the topless woman in "The Dull Life of a City Stockbroker" was Sheila Sands, an actress who also worked as a stripper, and there's a longstanding rumour that the nude lady in "Motor Insurance" was porn star Mary Millington, although she doesn't look like her. Spike Milligan's favourite Ms. Fanservice, Julia Breck, makes a guest appearance as "Puss in Boots" in the "Titanic Sinking" sketch.

Where's the Fun in That?
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_b131168b
comment
Where's the Fun in That?: The "Crunchy Frog" sketch ends this way. When Mr Hilton describes the "Spring Surprise" sweet as having steel bolts coming out of it when one pops it into their mouth, the Inspector replies, "Where's the pleasure in that?! When people pop a nice chockie in their mouth, they don't expect to get their cheeks pierced!" The "Mosquito Hunters" sketch: A sketch about a man going camel-spotting ends with the interviewer noting that, in fact, he's train-spotting, to which the man replies, "Oh, you're no fun anymore." This line is then used by mischievous band members, a woman whose vampiric lover loses his fangs, and a man who undergoes the lash ("Cut him down!" "Oh, you're no fun anymore!") This causes the original to threaten action against anyone else that uses the line, which he acts upon in the next sketch.

Take That!
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_b53077b3
comment
Take That!: Numerous. Generally assume that a character named "Maudling" is one of these against Reginald Maudling, an MP who was embroiled in financial scandals. The Pythons make frequent mockery of him, though one sketch used him as a springboard to make a tremendous slam against Margaret Thatcher (years before she became Prime Minister or even leader of her party). One sketch involved a narcissistic actor named "Timmy Williams", played by Idle, who is constantly distracted in furthering his career from an old friend's desperate pleas for help, to the point where the friend shoots himself and Timmy takes it in stride. This is followed by credits for "The Timmy Williams Show", which - while written "entirely" by Williams - features a list of "contributors" that takes up several seconds, including Ralph Emerson, Burt Ancaster, and Monty Python. This is based largely on the Python's experiences working with David Frost on The Frost Report. "Well, I've been in the city for 30 years and I've never once regretted being a nasty, greedy, cold-hearted, avaricious money-grubber... er, Conservative!" "The Funniest Joke in the World" has one to Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our time!" declaration, which the narrator called "Britain's great pre-war joke".

Internal Homage: Following the "Olympic Hide-and-Seek" sketch, the introduction to the next sketch replicates the introduction to the Dirty Fork sketch from the first series: the sketch is introduced by a Redcoat on a beach, while two men in the background offer "donkey rides" (that is, they carry the donkey). This extends to the return of the chicken-wielding knight in armour, who otherwise only appeared in the first series.

Too Dumb to Live The twits from the "Upper Class Twit of the Year Show" take part in an obstacle course involving jumping over a line of matchboxes to waking a sleeping neighbour; the last challenge involves shooting themselves. Honourable mention goes to Oliver St. John-Mollusc who managed to run himself over with his own car. Ron Obvious tried to run to Mercury (the planet) at the behest of his manager, Luigi Vercotti. Other exploits attempted include jumping across the English Channel, eating Chichester Cathedral, and digging a tunnel to Java.

In the "Science Fiction Sketch", which feature a male scientist (played by Graham Chapman) explaining science concepts/delivering exposition to his ditzy, provocatively-dressed blonde assistant, played by Donna Reading. She hams it up, directing so much of her attention toward the audience she knows is watching her that she repeatedly comically forgets her cues and has to be reminded to stay in character. She's also so ditzy that Graham's science hero basically knocks her out for the last bit of the sketch after getting sufficiently irritated with her absolute incompetence at following the plot.

Forced Transformation: Near the end of the second German special, Prince Walter (Palin) tries to stop Princess Mitzi (Carol Cleveland) from marrying Prince Charming (Idle), with the help of a Wicked Witch. When the witch tells the King (Jones) that she forbids the marriage, the Lord Chancellor upbraids her for addressing the king thusly, only to be turned into a number of random objects in quick succession before returning to his own form. The witch then threatens to curse everyone “and [their] aunties� if Mitzi does not marry Prince Walter, but the king puts his foot down and orders Mitzi’s marriage to Prince Charming to continue, leading to this: A couple of sketches involve Englishmen (and at least one Englishwoman) being turned into Scotsmen by aliens, complete with sprouting kilts and beards out of nowhere, and immediately racing off for Scotland.

Berserk Button: It's important that if you go a certain furniture store, you must never say the word "mattress" to Mr. Lambert. You must instead tell him you want to see the "dog kennels"note Yes, pet's department, second floor because saying the word "mattress" will cause him to promptly stand up, put a paper bag over his head and respond to nothing. And the only way to snap him out of it is to stand in a tea chest and sing Elgar's "Jerusalem" a capella. It's nothing he can help you understand, but apart from that, he's perfectly all right.

Bait-and-Switch Credits: Several examples once the Pythons were established enough to start subverting not just sketch comedy tropes, but the very structure of television programmes. Episode 25 begins with fake titles and credits for a historical epic called The Black Eagle (purportedly based on a book by Rafael Sabatini), whose opening scene is interrupted by the real Title Sequence. The scene nevertheless goes on for long enough that early audiences were probably scrambling for the week's Radio Times, wondering if there had been another of the last-minute schedule changes to which Python was often subjected. Episode 29 opened with the opening credit sequence, music and all, to The Money Programme (a real finance and business programme that aired from 1966-2010). Only when the presenter was revealed to be a comically money-mad Eric Idle who burst into song was the veil lifted. Episode 39 took this still further by opening with the Thames TV ident and a fake continuity link delivered by actual Thames continuity presenter David Hamilton, perhaps fooling early viewers into thinking their television was tuned to the wrong station until Hamilton announced, "But right now, here's a rotten old BBC programme!"

In the "Fish License" sketch, Eric Praline (one of the recurring characters, most known for being the customer in the Dead Parrot sketch) argues with another apparently called Eric. It also turns out that all of his pets are called Eric, and he carries around books documenting the same thing with other people ("Kemal Ataturk: The Man" by E.W. Swanton) in case people would call him a loony for it. (The record version of the sketch segues into a song, with Mr. Praline announcing, "Take it away, Eric the Orchestra Leader!")

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: "A Day in the Life of a City Stockbroker" is made entirely of this trope.

Sixth Ranger: Or seventh. Carol Cleveland, who was in more sketches than anyone else who wasn't a writer for the show. Neil Innes can also make a claim for this title, given that he contributed much of the music for the shows and films and was an indispensable part of the troupe's stage shows. Aside from Cleveland, the woman most frequently seen was Cleese's then-wife Connie Booth (she's the woman Michael Palin is holding in the Lumberjack Song). She'd be even more important to Fawlty Towers, which she co-wrote with Cleese and in which she played Polly. Not to mention Eric's then-wife, Lyn Ashley, who was always credited solely as "Mrs Idle". And then there's Ian Davidson, who made guest appearances in almost every episode of the first series. Douglas Adams became Graham Chapman's writing partner after John Cleese left in the fourth series and was the only non-Python besides Neil Innes to get a writing credit on the show (for co-writing the "Patient Abuse" sketch). He also appeared in that and a few other sketches.

Audience Participation: "Spot the Looney!" The only way the BBC would air the Undertaker sketch would be if the audience booed during the offensive bits and stormed the set after the final line ("We'll eat your mum, and then if you feel a bit guilty about it afterward, we can dig a grave and you can throw up in it!") The BBC still hated the result, and later wiped it from the master tape. It was subsequently reinstated from a slightly blurry copy.

Decoy Protagonist: Exaggerated with "Up Your Pavement", which starts by elaborately introducing two cheerful hoboes who then immediately get run over by crime fighter Alex Diamond, who suffers from lumbago which is treated by Dr Koning, whose doorbell was above Rear Admiral De Vere, whose daughter helped uncover the secrets of the Royal Arsenal Women's College, which is being spied on by Len Hanky, hen-teaser; then the sketch is briefly going to be about the chairman of Fiat before being derailed via a hurricane of Decoy Protagonists until it ends up being about RAF fighter pilots. Also used in the Science Fiction Sketch, which opens on the "perfectly ordinary" Mr and Mrs Samuel Brainsample, before the narrator declares that nothing interesting is going to happen to them and instead focusing on a passing man who winds up getting turned into a Scotsman by alien blancmanges as part of a plan to win Wimbledon. The remainder of the sketch focuses on Charles, an anthropologist, and Angus Podgorny, a Scottish tailor. Until the very end, when the Brainsamples return to save the day by eating the blancmanges.

Inanimate Competitor: Partway through the 127th Annual Upper-Class Twit of the Year Show, crowd favourite Oliver St. John-Mollusc somehow manages to run himself over with his own car. This does not automatically disqualify him. However, it does put him at the disadvantage of coming last. The "Face the Press" sketch is a debate between the Minister for Home Affairs and a small patch of brown liquid "which could be creosote or some extract used in industrial varnishing." The "Is There?" sketch is a discussion about the question of life after death, in which everyone but the host is dead.

Post–Wake-Up Realization: Subverted in the sketch "Strangers in the Night". A man and woman are asleep in bed. The wife's admirers start entering the bedroom professing their love for her. Each time a new person or group enters the room the husband wakes up and asks what's happening, the woman gives him a bogus explanation for all the noise and he goes back to sleep. He finally gets out of bed and walks away, apparently not noticing all of the men in the room. Later he's shown with his own female lover, indicating he was just ignoring the men.

Clothing Damage: During the "Scott of the Antarctic" sketch, Carol Cleveland's character flees from a menacing roll-top desk, but keeps getting snagged on various cacti, resulting in some of her clothing getting torn off. Then the camera zooms out to reveal that the cacti are so widely separated that she is going out of her way to run past every cactus in the area so that she can lose her clothing in the name of fanservice.

Suspiciously Specific Denial The sketch about the Nazi leaders hiding in England had a lot of these: And may I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the Royal Navy. Luigi Vercotti would like to deny completely that his "high class nightclub for the gentry at Biggleswade" was a "cheap clip joint for pickin' up tarts." Sir Brigadier Charles Arthur Strong (Mrs.) has never kissed the editor of the Radio Times.

Wrestler of Beasts: This trope is parodied in a skit. Kirk Vilb, an actor who lands the title role in Scott of the Antarctic, insists on fighting a lion in the movie despite the inconvenient fact that there are no lions in the Antarctic. Ultimately, the title and setting of the movie are changed to Scott of the Sahara in order to accommodate the lion fight scene.

Science Hero's Babe Assistant: Parodied in several sketches: In the "Science Fiction Sketch", which feature a male scientist (played by Graham Chapman) explaining science concepts/delivering exposition to his ditzy, provocatively-dressed blonde assistant, played by Donna Reading. She hams it up, directing so much of her attention toward the audience she knows is watching her that she repeatedly comically forgets her cues and has to be reminded to stay in character. She's also so ditzy that Graham's science hero basically knocks her out for the last bit of the sketch after getting sufficiently irritated with her absolute incompetence at following the plot. In "Scott of the Antarctic", Lt. Scott's scientific party to explore the Antarctic includes a ditzy woman named Miss Evans. She has no apparent scientific expertise, wears a minidress and short mink coat in contrast to the men's heavy fur parkas, and eventually loses her clothes in a Stripping Snag.

No Ending: Many, many sketches and shows end without a punchline, or any sort of resolution at all. Often by having The Colonel show up and disrupt things for being too silly. They are the essence of Surrealism. At one point, the police showed up out of nowhere and arrested everyone for violations against the 'Getting out of sketches without using a proper punchline' act, since just about every skit in the episode had ended with the police showing up out of nowhere and arresting everyone. Lampshaded by the last policeman, who is himself promptly arrested.

Early-Bird Cameo
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_f0089082
comment
Early-Bird Cameo: Possibly the first reference to Monty Python on American network TV came in 1971, on The Dick Cavett Show, when George Harrison was a guest and approvingly mentioned Flying Circus as a British show that should be on American television. When Harrison said the show's name, at least one member of the studio audience applauded loudly; maybe they'd seen them on the BBC, but most likely they knew Python because... The CBC picked up the show in 1970. They dropped it after a few months, but after a loud protest from fans, they put it back on the schedule. Americans who visited Canada or who lived near the border would've been able to see the show. Lorne Michaels and many of the Canadians who helped launch Saturday Night Live and SCTV were loyal viewers of the CBC airings. Their first formal American exposure was the 1972 American release of the film And Now for Something Completely Different, which was made with the intention of breaking the team in to American audiences. Unfortunately they didn't quite catch on, due to Americans not really being familiar with British humour, though reviews were mixed-to-positive. In the wake of the film's release the troupe appeared on The Midnight Special and The Tonight Show, to poor audience reception, in 1973. The Tonight appearance was a notorious debacle in Python history. One issue was that this particular episode was being guest-hosted by Joey Bishop, who clearly didn't understand or care for their comedy. Had Johnny Carson, who was more appreciative of unconventional comedy, been there, odds are he would've given them a more sympathetic reception. Then in 1974, a few first series sketches ("Irving C. Saltzberg/Twentieth Century Vole", "The Dull Life of a City Stockbroker", "Bicycle Repairman") were aired on the NBC summertime series The Dean Martin Comedy World, which highlighted international comedy acts.

Running Gag
 Monty Python's Flying Circus / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: Quite a few, the most well-known of which is probably, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" This particular gag subverts itself at the end of the episode, when it has become so routine for the Inquisition to appear when someone says they weren't expecting them that, well, everyone is expecting them to, but they're stuck in traffic so they can't arrive on cue. The Inquisitor himself has one regarding constantly undervaluing an item only to repeat himself with the correct value, notable in that it shows up even when he's not with the one— two other members of Inquisition. One running gag got a start in the "Hamlet" episode and then continued on into the films; characters talking about having a wall in their house knocked through to make a larger room. "Wait for it!"

Goofy Buckteeth: Taken to ridiculous levels in a sketch featuring Graham Chapman as a historical film director who has buck teeth so massive that they stretch all the way down to his chest like walrus tusks, and who has a tendency to give the protagonists in his films similarly big teeth (even to Jesus!). When questioned about it by Michael Palin (who can't stop himself from making teeth-related puns by accident), he doesn't understand what the problem is. Afterwards, a series of vox pops reveal that the only person who thought the film was true to life was another man with oversized upper teeth, and two people who criticised it included a big-eared man and a big-nosed man (and one man with really garish dress sense who thought it was "totally bizarre").
