Saturday Night Live (1975-)
According to Tina Fey: ''Sketch endings are overrated. Their key was to do something as long as it was funny and then just stop and do something else.''
SCTV (1976-84)
Martin Short: ''Their influence was that absurdity in character could replace the punchline, the ba-dum-bum thing.''
Cheech and Chong films like Up in Smoke (1978)
Tommy Chong: ''They were the first to really show the world how funny men dressed as women could look.''
The Kids in the Hall (1988-94)
Kevin McDonald: ''We, at the very least subconsciously, stole things. We tried not to, but what can you do? It's like how every rock group sounds like the Beatles.''
The Simpsons (1989-)
Creator Matt Groening: ''I just saw this streak in British humor of whimsical surrealism with just a hint of cruelty, and I found that incredibly appealing.''
Christopher Guest films like Waiting for Guffman (1996) Catherine O'Hara: ''I didn't know any of the rules of sketch comedy at the time, but I knew in my gut they were breaking them all. They were fearless in their silliness.''
The Daily Show (1996-) Stephen Colbert: ''There was one phrase they used. . .'justly underrated' — that torturing of words, when the words eat themselves, you'll find that all through the stuff I do.''
Austin Powers (1997-2002)
Mike Myers: ''Everything I've ever done can be distilled to at least one Python sketch. If comedy had a periodic element table, Python would have more than one atom on it.''
South Park (1997-)
Cocreator Matt Stone: ''They talked different, dressed different. Python was surreal and absurdist — so f---in' smart.''
Country music (ongoing)
Clint Black, who's performed Meaning of Life's''Galaxy Song'': '''The Penis Song' just wouldn't do. If you go through my music and find the ridiculous, that was Python's influence.''
Who knew Monty Python's Flying Circus 
When I first saw this scene in Naked Gun, I thought it was pure genius. I thought it was a perfectly humorous and visual way to soften an otherwise graphic act.
But when I saw this sketch of Monty Python Flying Circus online. My jaw almost fell to the floor.
I like this one better. How about you?
Monty Python tickets are available for the
An Evening without Monty Python show.
Unfortunately, it will be an evening without the original cast of the Monty Python Flying Circus Troupe but it will definitely be an evening with THE Monty Python as new blood will get to act, reenact and savor - - for the enjoyment of every Monty Python lover - classic sketches such as the:
SOUZA LIBERTY BELL - PEPPERPOT MONTAGE - SPAM SONG - CAMP JUDGES - MICHELANGELO - SILLY WALKS
SPANISH INQUISISTION - NUDGE NUDGE - LION TAMER - WORKING CLASS WRITER - CAMPING ABOUT - PENIS SONG
HUNGARIAN PHRASEBOOK - ALBATROSS (Also featuring the original fowl!) - CRUNCHY FROG - ARGUMENT CLINIC - THE BRUCES
TRAVEL AGENT - PARROT SKETCH - FOUR YORKSHIREMEN - CUSTARD PIE - LUMBERJACK SONG.
But it was "partly directed" by Eric Idle so if you are in New York on Oct 6 to 10 hurry! because they will only be doing 5 shows there. But if you are in LA Sept 23 to Oct 4, you're lucky! as they will have 10 performances. Unfortunately I am in the Philippines. But you! What are you waiting for?! Stop being a git, click here and get on with it!
In this interview Eric Idle had with Craig Ferguson, he says that seats are going fast, so far two have been sold.
Let me just say that one of my dreams is to actually do a Monty Python sketch, for real!
1) The Monty Python Parrot Sketch taught me about death and acceptance -- either in life and / or in returning a defective toaster to the shop where you bought it.
And that it is inherent in people - for the sake of saving their arses - to deny to the hilt the obvious truth.
2) This is technically not a Monty Python Flying Circus exclusive but two of the writers of this sketch are John Cleese and Graham Chapman. It was also performed later on by most of the Pythons live. But it originally showed on At Last the 1948 Show and is available on the At Last the 1948 Show DVD and not in the Monty Python Flying Circus DVD.
The Four Yorkshiremen sketch taught me the fact that human arrogance knows no bounds.
3) I learned in Monty Python's Cheese Shop Sketch that rage, at times, is understandable.
It is still no excuse though. But damn it cathartically feels so good.
The list is a who's who of current cultural and media personalities.
Want to join the club?
So who else wants to be Monty Python silly?
