This unassuming case is packed with 16 tons of funny: 14 discs of MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS, packed with every episode from the programme’s four year run, plus 2 MONTY PYTHON LIVE! discs featuring–well, you figure it out. While to the uninitiated they may look like ordinary .65 oz. digital video discs, due to the unique physics of comedy (it’s like quantum but with fewer dead cats), each disc actually weighs a full metaphoric ton!

Seriously- how much of a troglodyte do you have to be to actually find Monty Python funny? There is absolutely nothing funny or intelligent about coupling idiotic dialogue with incongruous and surrealistic images. You want to know what kind of people claim to think that a Spanish man singing fallacious facts about llamas is somehow funny? The same kind of ninnies who think that a canvas splattered with paint and elephant dung is a work of genius…basically insecure college-indoctrinated pseudo intellectuals who are desperate to be thought of as smarter than people who like Adam Sandler, so they ape the tastes of other college-indoctrinated lemmings. However, Monty Python is a lot like Marxism or lesbianism…a university affectation which is usually abandoned once the poseur graduates and notices that the in-crowd doesn’t really notice him anymore. He may keep a few tapes in the closet for when the old frat brothers visit, but no person in their right mind actually sits by them self watching Monty Python, let alone laughing at it. Maybe it’s a drug thing, and Python is genuinely funny when you’re blasted. I wouldn’t know, but I do believe it would be a good idea to base voter eligibility on whether one finds Monty Python funny, with the Python fans being immediately ejected from the voting rolls. In such a nation, George Bush couldn’t get elected dog catcher and Congress would resemble the School of Athens rather than a flying circus.

It was on one of these Python amazon sites a poster printed that the Pythons could not sing or dance well. The last scene of the entire series I believe has comely Pythoner Carol Cleveland trying to do a dance (and doing a fifth rate job of it!) in front of a bunch of men one of whom wears a mask. They should not have let these performers do dancing or singing. Eric Idle, a guitarist, sings about money in one ep and does a fifth rate job of it as well. Dubbing of these actors would have been better as no singing or dancing ability shows them up. I really think the Python fans need to mostly lighten up about this and stop treating Idle, Palin, Gilliam, etc like thy are blood realtives. They are just people on a tv show, stage or movie. They are not your blood relatives nor are any of them God himself!

True Python fans, like myself, would already own everything that has ever been available for Python, like I do, and the items in this set are no different. While I won’t argue that it is a great collection, it is a pity that the producers of this set have simply taken to older one off the market, added two discs from another set labeled it new and improved and priced it higher so they could still make money. Greedy pigs make me sick, why if I had half a mind, I’d march right up to them in their fancy shoes, pressed pants and starched shirts and bleeding Masonic handshakes and I’d…I’d…I’d beg them to let me join their cruel attempts to take over the world. Please, please let me join you, I’d only just sit in the corner and be ever so quiet, unless you wanted me to talk, honestly I just want to bask in the sun that is your greedy attempts at capitalism, perhaps dining on a few table scraps or licking the mud off your shoes. Did I say one star? I meant 1000 stars for a job well done; please don’t strike me again.

If you loved the show this is a must own. Of course it includes much incomprehensible British political humor but the skits are classics and after 30 years I still laugh at them.
