From the very first Monty Python’s Flying Circus show episode. They were wild from the very beginning.

Looxury!: The Four Yorkshireman Sketch
One more sketch from pre-Python days from At Last The 1948 Show, which was later revived for the Pythons. I think I like this original version best.
For some reason, the punch line is missing at the end. “And you try telling the young folk that today… and they won’t believe you”
Tim Brooke Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman.

Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry in one of their funniest and most Pythonesque sketches, a sketch of which John Cleese himself would be proud.

Shredding the notion of a Golden Age in their own old age, it’s Monty Python with the Four Yorkshireman sketch.

Not every Python sketch stands the test of time—they were too seat of the pants and careless for that—but even with its non-ending, this sketch featuring John Cleese is still one of my very favorites.

Monty Python in a great sketch done live in 1982 at the Hollywood Bowl. I particularly like John Cleese’s understated Lenin portrayal.
Fun fact: John Cleese’s father’s original last name was Cheese, but his father changed it as a young man. Somehow that explains a lot to me. Cleese is correctly pronounced to rhyme with Cheese.

Pinin’ for the Fjords: Monty Python
One rainy night in the 1970s, I ducked into a local bar. There was the usual crowd of cops, firemen, and unemployed ex-graduate students. Their eyes were glued to the television over the bar. But they were not watching football or baseball, but the strangest–and maybe funniest– comedy show ever to hit the American shores. I was an instant fan. We were not in Kansas anymore.
