    "THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!"


    The Monty Python troupe scored much success with their long-running TV series Monty Python's Flying Circus. This introduced the world to a very unique style of British humour, and also gave the Monty Python troupe a big name. This was a positive when it came time to release the first film outing of the Monty Python gang.


    And Now For Something Completely Different is essentially a very amusing anthology of famous, memorable (very silly) skits from their former TV show that are given an elaborate reworking. The production values are a whole lot better and the scripts have also been altered. During some of their memorable skits the higher production values equalled improvement over the original TV show version. However some of the more classic Monty Python moments were of higher standard when first broadcast in Flying Circus.


    And Now For Something Completely Different has got all the basics...Dead Parrot, Lumberjack Song, Upper Class Twit of the Year, Self Defence Against Fresh Fruit, Marriage Guidance and several others, so you know you're all set. Much of the dynamic skits are of the usual outrageously hilarious Monty Python standard we've come to appreciate over the years; random humour, cerebral humour and slapstick humour. If you like the comedy style utilised by the Pythons you will without doubt have a tremendously fun time. If you're not a fan of the Pythons this is probably one to avoid.


    Unless you count the numerous sub-plots that vary between skits, there is absolutely no discernable plot or storyline to speak of. The whole film is an extended episode of the former TV show; funny skits that are stitched together with a few transitional shots that take the random humour even further (for the most part these transitional shots are just random images of people saying "And now for something completely different"). I think it's pretty much impossible to get sick of such great Monty Python skits, and in my opinion it's impossible not to find the Python troupe's amusing antics anything short of hilarious.


    I have been a fan of Monty Python for years and I am never disappointed in their unique humour. And Now For Something Completely Different is a fantastic film that supplies a number of great laughs and can make a rainy afternoon go by in no time. This is a reminder of the outstanding work the team were capable of producing when they were in their prime. The first Monty Python film is a top-notch effort on everyone's part. For the Python fans, this is absolutely unmissable. After the success of this film the Pythons were then given the green light to make Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    I's okay, but not as good as the other films, and the sketches were better done in the series anyway.

    I saw the first ever episode of MPFC on the BBC. At school the next day I talked about it with mates who had also seen it. We were puzzled and only slightly amused, but didn't really have a clue what it all meant, but for some strange reason, we had to see what happened next.. Mostly out of curiosity, I suppose.

    Over time, we became addicts and the in-jokes of our little group included references (accompanied by helpless giggling) to such inane things as flying sheep, lumberjacks in women's clothes, Spam, and The Upper Class Twit Of The Year Race

    I did a silly walk in the school hall once. Well, it was a double dare, so I couldn't back out and keep face, could I? It cost me a bloody detention.

    ANFSCD is a collection of old series sketches. To me it's priceless. It brings back my puzzlement as to what it all meant, my adolescent angst lusting for Carol Cleveland but mostly, the laughter. I'm still laughing now.

    Love 'em or hate 'em, you can't ignore the Pythons. Genius
