The title of the Pythons’ first feature-length release, And Now for Something Completely Different, feels disappointingly ironic. There’s nothing “completely different” about this movie; it’s a compilation of sketches that had already appeared in the best episodes of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Some of the transitions between the sketches are dif...
Of the three Python movies drawn from original material, Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life is the clear underdog. While Holy Grail and Life of Brian appear on many best comedy movie lists, The Meaning of Life is sadly almost never mentioned. Generally considered to be the outlier and not as flawless as their other films, The Meaning of Life is an ...
The only Python movie recorded live, Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl, is one of the funnier movies in the concert film genre. Like And Now for Something Completely Different, Live at the Hollywood Bowl consists mostly of sketches that were already seen in the TV series. But unlike And Now for Something Completely Different, Live at the Holl...

- The Ministry of Silly Walks. Season 2, Episode 1: "Face the Press" Few images are as widely associated with Monty Python as a lanky, bowler-clad Cleese, his legs outstretched at a bizarre angle.
- The Argument Clinic. Season 3, Episode 3: "The Money Programme" A sketch that's both erudite and ridiculous, as Palin and Cleese argue about the very nature of an argument.
- The Killer Joke. Season 1, Episode 1: "Whither Canada?" This lengthy bit comes from Flying Circus' very first episode, about a joke that's so funny it's lethal to anyone who hears it.
