Remember when comedy could just be funny? You didn't HAVE to make a political statement (although I'm sure some British political jabbing was done by these guys that went right past me). My high school buddies and I used to do Monty Python skits randomly at school. After signing friend's yearbooks, I would write the entire word association skit interspersed in the ads in the back of their yearbook. I was home this past winter with an injury that took me out of work briefly, and I watched every single episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus (I have all the DVD's), so I believe I can take credit for reading this book this year. I was taking notes and ranked my top 50. I'll put 25 here:

Although I have almost memorized the entire length of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, I was never that conversant with the original series. Hark! Look here. What’s this? All the Words: The Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus (Pantheon, 1989). Danger, danger, Will Robinson. Now I can be insufferable at parties, as I quickly memorize pertinent sections of this compendium. Now I too can say “Your Majesty is like a big jam doughnut with cream on the top,” and know that the follow-up is “like a doughnut, your arrival gives us pleasure, and your departure only makes us hungry for more.” Unfortunately, All the Words is only the TV series. You have to (and can, fortunately) buy the scripts for the movies separately. If that doesn’t satisfy your need for the python of fun, check out [a:Kim “Howard” Johnson|2838944|Kim Howard Johnson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1442498141p2/2838944.jpg]’s [b:The First 20 Years of Monty Python|972203|The First 200 Years of Monty Python|Kim Howard Johnson|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1179911501s/972203.jpg|957100] (St. Martin’s, 1989), which supplies a wonderful biography of the group as a whole, and compliments [a:George Perry|13825|George Perry|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png]’s earlier [b:Life of Python|289753|The Life Of Python|George Perry|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1173450984s/289753.jpg|281122] (Little Brown, 1983).
