jon_chaisson: (Python 'And now...')
Meant to post this earlier...

Thanks to watching them on PBS with my dad when I was young, and later on Sunday nights on MTV in my junior year in high school, to this day I still quote Monty Python, even more so that I realize. I actually know how to do the Silly Walk (but don't have the legs to do it anymore...). The "books" that [livejournal.com profile] head58 and our circle of friends wrote were heavily influenced by them (some could say we stole shamelessly from them). To this day when I see llamas at the zoo or on TV, my first thought is "¡Cuidado, las llamas!" My occasional habit of answering questions with an absurdity or a non sequitur is solely because of them. To this day I'm still amazed that no tv comedy has even come close to emulating their brilliance.

Thanks to them, I remind myself that life can never be completely serious. In honor of their 40th Anniversary, here's a few of my favorite clips from the show. Enjoy!!
