Monty Python is funny. The Flying Circus is a motley group of short skits, and often they have weird segues into each other (I hope I spelled "segue" correctly). Many of the bits have become iconic standards. The funny walks, which isn't one of my favorites, is now a clock face. The lumberjack, which is my very favorite, has a cult following, too, and would be great to sing at a bar if you had the mounties in the back doing their thing. If you don't laugh at one skit, you'll probably laugh at the one following it. It is mostly slapstick, and very much nonsense, with the humor coming out of nowhere, instead of based on straight lines. That's the Monty Python way.
