I was a big fan a few years ago but it wasn't long before I wasn't finding any new content around. My favorite is the when they sail into the city in a office building in The Meaning of Life.

I tend to spout off Monty Python quotes at random. Well, within my own family. I'm not walking around the supermarket, saying, "The only thing that worries me, Jim, is being the first one down that gullet!"

Here are a few that I seem to say a lot:


"Bring out your dead!"

"I'm 37! It's not exactly old!" I said that a lot a few years ago, and never quite got over it.

"Why don't you try W.H. Smiths?" "I did. They sent me here." "Did they?"

Currently, I am attempting to read "A Tale of Two Cities," because I'm thinking that I ought to read some Dickens before I die of old age, and I haven't actually read any of his work yet. Every time I pick it up, I think, "'A Sale of Two Titties'?" "Definitely NOT!" Or "That's Dikkens with two k's, the well-known Dutch author!"

About to laugh my ass off.. :lol:


But the film is not consistent: On 2:17 you see a front wheel with hub break (or dynamo) which wasn't there before, and later is disappears again and a more racing like bike is to see like in the beginning ...

Perhaps - that's the real message!

for years I brought dead computers to Salvage singing 'bring out yer dead'...until someone really died in the same office. Will have to come up with something else.

We are always using quotes from The Holy Grail. Ones about the shrubbery, "huge...tracks of land" is one that gets used all too often, and of course ones pertaining to the black knight, funny stuff! :lol:

I like the "meaning of life", the bit with Mr Creosote was great. I have heard the great and the good making references to that film. I once heard my supervisor joke about a painting of a baby being delivered in an operating room. He said "thats the machine which goes ping", I think discovered that both of us found the meaning of life very funny.

The quotes/paraphrasing that I find most useful at work are;

"You just stay here... and make sure he doesn't leave"

"Not to leave the room, even if you come and get him"

"no...no until I come and get him"....

My colleague and I use this with our boss quite often when his instructions are unclear.

When I was growing up there were 2 TV programmes that were 'must see' every week.Top Of The Pops and Monty Python.
It's funny how another topic has been raised around the same time as this one asking about the origin of the phrase 'I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition' which was a legacy from
a Monty Python sketch.
