Lordy, lordy... Look whose 40!
Yes my fellow lumberjacks, black knights and dead parrots... Forty years ago this month, viewers of the BBC were sitting in their living rooms, scratching their heads in preponderance of a new comedy show, which by that point had already featured sketches about Pablo Picasso wining a cycling race and and an interview with a man who had three buttocks.
It was the first ever airing of "Monty Python's Flying Circus," and in the four decades that have elapsed since that time, this off-color and unique comedy troupe has successfully built a global cult-like following, the likes of which is virtually unknown within the modern media era.
And even today, after 40 years of silly walks and flying sheep, the laughs keep on coming. All courtesy of the fine people who brought us equally fine comedic gems such as these:
Still funny after all these years! ;D
