Monty Python's The Flying Circus----- Argument Clinic and " Sunday Talk Shows"

[longship]

2. Absolutely wonderful!

The Monty Python troupe were nearly unbeatable. Of course, they had The Goon Show as a model to their madness.

British humor has always had a zany edge to it. Try The Dreaded Batter Pudding Hurler (of Bexhill-on-Sea) sometime. Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Harry Secombe originated the zany comedy. Not even the Python troupe could match them, although they often came close. Milligan's twisted scripts were often unintelligible, but that was part of their humor. That, and the well-loved recurring cast of characters.

"You silly, twisted boy!"
