The guy from Monty Python (and his friends)
Wasn’t there this sad story of one of the members who would much rather have become a lumberjack? Leaping from tree to tree? As they float down the rivers of British Columbia? The Fir, the larch, the mighty Scots pine…
Name them? Like in the never ending story?
Chapman: It trying to remember if he turned off the stove.
Idle: Has asked for the manager to complain, but turns out the manager is right about everything and he’s realizing that just now.
Jones: Waiting for the bus, looking forward to the Pizza that is in his fridge.
Palin: “Hey kids, do you wanna see a dead body.”
Cleese: Has just conceived of a new, exciting way to commit arson.
Gilliam: Not pictured because the new, exciting way to commit arson involved his car.
Brian and the Apostles
The People’s Front of Judea
The Judean People’s Front!!!
People’s, Front, of Judea…. pft
Splitters!
Jesus and the Christs
On second thought, let’s not, for it is a silly place.
Good. Now, why do witches burn?
…because they’re made of wood…?
Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood?
🤔
Peasant 1: Build a bridge out of her.
Sir Bedevere: But can you not also build bridges out of stone?
Peasant 1: Oh yeah.
Sir Bedevere: Does wood sink in water?
Peasant 1: No, no, it floats!.. It floats! Throw her into the pond!
Sir Bedevere: No, no. What else floats in water?
Peasant 1: Bread.
Peasant 2: Apples.
Peasant 3: Very small rocks.
Peasant 1: Cider.
Peasant 2: Gravy.
Peasant 3: Cherries.
Peasant 1: Mud.
Peasant 2: Churches.
Peasant 3: Lead! Lead!
King Arthur: A Duck.
Sir Bedevere: …Exactly. So, logically…
Peasant 1: If she weighed the same as a duck… she’s made of wood.
Sir Bedevere: And therefore…
Peasant 2: …A witch!In highschool we used to just repeat large portions of the script of Grail to each other in place of actual human conversation. I can still trot out the whole “Old woman!” scene by memory when the moment calls for it.
Man!
Their best record is titled I fart in your general direction
My fave, You Don’t Need To Follow Anybody.
With its catchy lyrics…
Look, you’ve got it all wrong.
You don’t need to follow me.
You don’t need to follow anybody!
You’ve got to think for yourselves!
You’re all individuals!
You’re all different!
You’ve all got to work it out for yourselves.
Don’t let anyone tell you what to do!
Good one. The Black Beast of Aaaaargghh is also quite a banger
Strange women lyin’ in ponds
Personally, I think Anarcho-syndicaist Commune is way better
You’re all wrong, Sit On My Face is clearly their best release.

Dead Parrot. It’s the album cover for Your Mother Smells of Elderberries. Sick rhymes.
Nice
The members were G-Man, JC , Gill I Am, E-Money, and Plain Mike. Revolutionary sound.
AMEN!
Everyone trying to look serious or intellectual and Cleese just grinning like an idiot in the background love it
The picture is from 1970. John Cleese is 30 or 31 years old in that picture…
Which would mean that he is now…does quick estimate older than time itself!
Monties With Attitude,
Straight Outta Camelot
Track 1: 'Tis a silly place
Track 2: Fuck tha Rabbit!
Track 3: 8 Fall (into the Gorge of Eternal Peril)
They originally were the Knights Who Say Ni, but broke up for a while for some solo work, then reunited as The Knights Who Say Ekki Ekki Ekki Pitang Zoom Boing. Best rap album ever, with the chart topper “Only a Flesh Wound”.
It’s……

I am 100% certain that if they were a band their name would be And Now For Something Completely Different.
I fucking love Spinal Tap!
Wasn’t this the group that got sued for sampling the Rutles?
