Monty Python's Flying Circus

Edit this Page

One of the most influential sketch shows in comedy history, Monty Python's Flying Circus revolutionized the genre by combining very base "toilet humor" with high-brow social commentary and satire.

Quote: The Amazing Kargol

Well, we psychiatrists have found that over 8% of the population will always be mice. I mean, after all, there's something of the mouse in all of us. I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't felt sexually attracted to mice? I know I have. I mean, most normal adolescents go through a stage of squeaking two or three times a day. Some youngsters, on the other hand, are attracted to it by its very illegality. It's like murder - make a thing illegal and it acquires a mystique. Look at arson - I mean, how many of us can honestly say that at one time or another he hasn't set fire to some great public building? I know I have. The only way to bring the crime figures down is to reduce the number of offenses - get it out in the open - I know I have!
