I used to really like them and Faulty Towers and I own Life Of Brian, but I`m afraid they seem very dated now .

And my favorite single sketch- Confuse-a-Cat!

I've been a fan since it first appeared on public TV in Chiraq in the early '70s.
In a town not known for its tolerance, and in a high school riven by VICIOUS group enmities, it was simply amazing to see teenagers of all races and ethnic groups standing around talking like elderly Cockney women.
The other day, I was thinking about rarely shown episodes like the murder trial sketch in which the list of victims takes all of three minutes to read, and the "Naughty Vicar" sketch in which Carol Cleveland is groped by the parish priest.
I was recently discussing the "Piranha Brothers" sketch with a couple of co-workers who had no idea that it was based on two REAL criminals. For years, I thought it was hilarious, but believed it was made up from whole cloth... until the movie "The Krays" came out in the '80s and I learned that Doug and Dimmesdale were modeled on the Kray brothers, "celebrity gangsters" of the '60s. That was the thing about the writing on "Monty Python"; it was insanely funny even if the topical references flew 10,000 feet over your head.

And even funnier in German!
Which brings up the little known fact that they once produced an entire episode in German.
German TV, conceding the fact that Germans aren't known for their humor, approached the Pythons and asked them to do the show in German... which they did, SPOKEN in German with no dubbing or subtitles.
It was a one-off that was never repeated, but still weird and funny.
