Summary: It's still funny after all these years.
Review: "I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay." Who doesn't remember Michael Palin uttering this line in the famous butcher barber/lumberjack skit? How about Upper Class Twit of the Year? And, the Dead Parrot? All of these skits and more can be found on this 2 cd set. If you like the obscurity that is Python, then this is the set to purchase. The one segment I did not like was aliens turning into Scotsmen. That went on far too long.

Summary: Comedy for the ages...yes, even among Americans!
Review: As someone who once wrote a ten-page paper in college about the Pythons, I'm not going to go into such great lengths in this small review. Such a task has already been achieved in Kim "Howard" Johnson's two excellent books, among many others. Suffice it to say that...THIS MAY BE THE SINGLE FUNNIEST SKETCH-COMEDY SHOW EVER. This is NOT an exaggeration. If you can get beyond the obviously "British" aspects of the show (remember that this was produced from 1969 to 1975, in the most Anglo-Saxon of all nations), you will discover an unending goldmine of comedy, guaranteed.

Summary: Monty Python gets 2 thumbs up!
Review: I got this because I'd been having a need to see the North Minehead by-elections (sp?), and the candidacy of Mr. Hilter with his map
of Stalingrad and his friend Ron Vibbentrop. The dead Parrot sketch
is also featured, as is the two mafiosi telling Col. Graham Chapman
"It's a nice army base you've got here." And there is the classic
of the blanc-manges who are turning everyone into Scotsman. (Angus
Pogorny what do ya mean? He was ne'er so much a man as he was a
blanc-mange.) Apparently the Lumberjack song is on this set too, but
I haven't gotten around to it yet. Though I have been humming it for
several days.

Summary: A classic right up there with Aesop's fables, only funnier.

Summary: i object in the strongest possible terms...
Review: i object to the characterization of monty python as funny. it is well known that this whole "comedy troupe" act is just a front for the international smuggling of little pink pussycats, one called chris and the other one not. and the so called "rumors" of cannabilism by myself and the other reviewers of this dvd are just that, rumors. Yours truly, COL B.J. Smithy, in a white wine sauce, with shallots and carrots.

Summary: A Great Set
Review: If you or a friend has never seen an episode of Monty Pythons Flying Circus, this is a great starter kit for you. I mean, theese are classics, "Lumberjack" "Vocational Guidance Counsellour" "Sir Edward Ross" "People Falling from buildings" "A bit of fun" "Science Fiction Sketch(Full half hour) And ofcourse "Dead Parrot" and although you can find most of theese skecthes in the film "And Now For Something comptley Differnt" This is still a good buy.

Summary: Monty Python gets 2 thumbs up!
Review: Monty Python are very funny. I highly reccommend this set. If you're not sure, just purchase the first set to try it out, and see if you like it. I promise that you'll be laughing so hard you'll rush out to get the other sets as well. I purchased the full set and I dont regret any of it. I wouldnt recommend this for young children. I'd say early teens and up would enjoy this the most. Some of the british slang can be too difficult for the really young ones to follow. Monty Python is a combination of sketch comedy and stereotypical british humor. One way or another, you're bound to laugh. THe episodes are short so you can watch just a piece at a time at your convenience, but there's enough on each tape to last a full evening. I give it two thumbs up.
