#40: Monty Python’s Flying Circus
Monty Python’s Flying Circus was our ticket to a world of hilarious nonsense. From bickering philosophers to cheese shop arguments, those British blokes turned the ordinary upside down. It’s the kind of comedy that sticks with you, making you shout “Spam!” at random moments and contemplate the true airspeed velocity of a swallow.
While many of us like to quote Monty Python, with lines like “He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty boy,” it turns out they like to quote a bit themselves! The recurring phrase “And now for something completely different” is actually a phrase used during television and radio broadcasts by the BBC.
