MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS Vinyl Records and CDs
As any seventh grade dork can tell you, Monty Python's Flying Circus is inarguably the greatest Sketch Comedy group ever. With skits such as "The Argument Clinic" and "The Pet Shop" and films such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the troupe redefined the genre with their sidesplitting slapstick, biting social commentary and dark humor. Their BBC television series quickly became an international cult phenomenon after its initial airing in 1969, and we haven't been the same since. For better or worse, it provided the world's socially awkward rejects and dejected shut-ins with something to quote ad nauseum amongst themselves -- a phenomenon that continues to this day -- while giving everyone else a rare glimpse into the minds of the totally insane. Never have a group captured the notion of "delightfully absurd" so completely. Haven't seen or heard any of their stuff recently? Do yourself a favor and rent (or download) something. You'll find the humor as fresh and uproarious as it ever was. That is, unless you are a snooty bugger who doesn't think that selling someone a dead parrot is funny.
