And now for something completely different; a review of Monty Python's Flying Circus. The Monty Python crew are experts in doing absolutely silly and ridiculous things, while providing highbrow and intellectual commentary around social, political and cultural topics. While some of the references are obviously outdated and / or hard to decipher in today's age, the comedy gold shines through. This is coming from a 21st century American with little background in British history. Doesn't get much better from a sketch comedy perspective. The sheer range of characters, topics and scenarios is endless and hysterical. At any given moment, you could be watching a gameshow about deaths of famous people like Genghis Khan or listening to a man with a tape recorder up his nose. If you're intimated by the accents, then I recommend throwing subtitles on. It's a gamechanger. If your not sure whether you are ready for the full show, then start off with a greatest hits reel on Youtube. While the Holy Grail is their most well known and respected work, I'd argue that this is actually better. This review is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
