10 Monty Python clips to celebrate their 40th birthday

40 years ago Monday (October 5), Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin changed the history of comedy when Monty Python’s Flying Circus made its debut on British television.

Wikipedia articulates their influence over the years, saying “A self-contained comedy team responsible for both writing and performing their work, they changed the way performers entertained audiences. The Pythons’ creative control allowed them to experiment with form and content, discarding rules of television comedy. Their influence on British comedy has been apparent for years, while in North America it has colored the work of cult performers from the early editions of Saturday Night Live through to more recent absurdest trends in television comedy. “Pythonesque” has entered the English lexicon as a result.”

Monty Python has an official YouTube channel, so to celebrate 40 years of Monty Python here’s 10 Monty Phython classics:

Argument Clinic

Bicycle Repairman

Job Interview

Penis Song

Every Sperm is Sacred

Galaxy Song

Ministry of Silly Walks

Silly Olympics

Lumberjack Song

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

Monty Python comes to YouTube – legally

Since almost day one of YouTube becoming the haven to some of the worst in human stupidity as well as some of the coolest stuff around; one of the mainstays of the video service has to have been Monty Python.

Now I will admit to all the world that I am not the biggest fan of Monty Python and given my druthers I will watch just about anything other than one of their skits. I also realize that I am in a minority here so this news today that Monty Python will be creating an official channel on YouTube for all their fans is probably the highlight to many people’s day.

The idea is that this way the group has control over the quality of the videos being posted as well as being able to make the complete collection from the Monty Python vaults available. The videos will also contain advertisements which the Python troupe hope you will be guilted into clicking on to – in their words “soften our pain and disgust at being ripped off all these years.”

For the Monty Python legalese reason the following video is provided for your learning pleasure
