Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

hellraiser7 Skit comedies have always been my favorite kind of comedies because in them you just have unlimited creative freedom to not just be about anything but even to do anything you want.This show is one of my favorite TV shows of all time as well as favorite skit and comedy show of all time. It was revolutionary for it's time before skit comedy shows were even common, but what really revolutionized it was in it's execution of comedy where it dared to not play it safe and actually go the extra mile. To this day I'm still surprised they were able to get away with what they did; it's a little more common place now with the shows on the "Adult Swim" block on Cartoon Network but this was one of the first and still the best.The ensemble is great each of them are memorable comedic actors though my favorite one is John Clease he always had this infectious uptight manic mannerism to him. Each of them look as though their really into what their doing and having fun.I really like those brief animated segments which are beautiful but really odd art style, much like you would see in a surrealist painting as well as Mad Magazine. From the clouds, tiny men, giant feet, at times I wondered if the artists were on something. Even the pacing and editing is crisp, from how it quickly transitions and cuts to the next skit or the animated segment in between the skits, it really feels like a live action Mad Magazine as if were flipping between the pages.However what powers this show are the skits which are great and memorable. I'll just say a few that I really loved. Each of the skits are really colorful, creative, weird and may'be even a little risqué with the amount of absurdity and behavior they were really pulling all the stops out; for some of them I still wonder where the hell they came up with the ideas or what when through they heads when they made them. Their rich with both verbal and visual humor, there is just a lot of memorable quotes and dialog in the skits which I can't always say for all of them which is cool. The verbal humor is smart and clever but not to the point of being boring, they just go simply for doing one task and one only delivering the humor which most good skit shows should do.I won't say too much my words can't do them justice their the kind of things you have to see for yourself to laugh.The Deadly Joke: This just cracks me up because of how absurd an idea this is; instead of chem warfare it's punchline warfare.Race of the Twits: It's one of the most bizarre races I've seen in history. Each of the competitors are just idiots to the core and each of the obstacles they do are even more absurd and stupidly easy.The Spanish Inquisition: This is my favorite one of all where it is just absurdity at it's best; it's a Inquisition platoon that's not just out of place but out of time, as they are still operating on outdated laws. But most of all each of them are complete morons.Overall if your a fan of skit shows this classic is worth checking out, this circus flies high.Rating: 4 stars

grantss Brilliant, innovative comedy. Possibly the greatest comedy series of all time. Certainly the most influential, iconic and quoted.Season 1 was great, but not their best. Still experimenting and finding their feet, it had some great sketches, but nothing as iconic as what was to come.Season 2 was where they really hit their straps. Most of their well-known sketches are from Season 2: Piranha Brothers, Ministry of Silly Walks, The Bruces, Spam, The Spanish Inquisition, Scott of the Antarctic.Season 3 was more of the same.Season 4 was where they tapered off. John Cleese had left and the creativity just wasn't anywhere near the levels of Seasons 2 and 3. No wonder it was only 6 episodes.Timeless comedy that has become embedded in culture. It's that big, brilliant and important.

Artimidor Federkiel Among the many things Monty Python has anchored in the collective consciousness of late 20th century TV viewers is the perfect formula on how to make a perfect transition from one thing to the other with no logical link whatsoever - and use considerably fewer words than in this introduction. Clearly the Pythons were ahead of their time with innovations like this. Or by beginning a show at its end, leading up to a breathtaking start. Or by glorifying canned meat into something ubiquitous and inescapable by writing a song about it - the product that would give the daily shocking content of our e-mail inboxes a proper unmistakable name. Or by aborting a sketch due to exceeding silliness, by continuing after the credits have rolled or by introducing artful, however out-and-out off-wall animation as just one of the many ingredients in order to go for something completely different. Monty Python swims against the tide of the typical punchline laughs. It stands for the perfect cross between surrealism for humor's sake, for encompassing absurd comedy somewhere between triviality and existentialism, with a tad of innuendo-laden references (wink, wink, nudge nudge, say no more), functioning also because it hit a nerve back then in 1968 and hasn't lost any of its cultural relevance almost 50 years later. Nowadays, when people are reading reviews for the lack of having anything better to do, they might not expect the Spanish Inquisition to show up (nobody does!). But they just did, and that's thanks to Monty Python - the guys who also wrote the killer joke where 13 people looked at two words and had to be sent to the hospital. Dangerous stuff!It's a sure bet that you'll still find people whistling Sousa's military march for no apparent reason for many years to come. Even when the members of this incomparable comedy troupe are gone to meet their maker, are pushing up the daisies, have rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. Whatever you do, the Pythons are a great reminder that the last laugh is on you. I'm sure that was what occurred to Graham Chapman as well when he participated in his own funeral and the rest of the gang just made a high caliber comedy show out of it, Python style. Can't kill them, I tell ya.

anthony-rigoni When I watched Fawlty Towers, I heard about John Cleese starring in a comedy sketch series called Monty Python's Flying Circus. What's my opinion on this TV Series? I think it's fantastic! While the humor is strange(in a comical way), this show never ceases to entertain me or have me laugh so hard, my stomach hurts. It also features hilarious animated shorts made by the great Terry Gilliam. John Cleese, along with other famous members of the Monty Python troupe, have filled me with laughter every step of the way. Two of my favorite skits that have me rolling on the floor laughing is the Lumberjack Song(Where a guy goes from singing about being a lumberjack to singing about wearing women's clothing) and the Minsitery of Silly Walks(I died laughing at that skit).Bottom Line: I am now a fan of Monty Python's Flying Circus with its strange yet witty humor, great shorts, and an excellent performance by John Cleese and friends.
