More about The Rise of Monty Python: The Other British Invasion
As hard as it is to imagine, there was a world before Monty Python. And just like any other great historical epoch – the Jurassic Period, the Age of Chivalry, The Dawn of Disco – scholars have invested hundreds of hours examining the Rise of Python: that brief shining moment before the world knew how brilliant buffoonery could be. Watch, laugh and learn in The Rise of Monty Python: The Other British Invasion.
Before the Flying Circus features rare vintage footage and interviews trace the pre-Monty Python influences that honed the wit of the future Pythons and shaped their destinies as the world’s most innovative comedy partnership. Monty Python Conquers America is the story of the OTHER British invasion – the funny one. Monty Python’s astonishing American success was due as much to the passion of well-placed fans as it was to a string of absurdly lucky breaks. Being really, REALLY funny helped some, too. Featuring interviews with the Pythons, Hank Azaria, Jimmy Fallon, David Hyde Pierce and others.
Run Time: 110 minutes, plus extras
Format: 2-Disc DVD Set
DVD Release Date: October 27, 2009
The cast of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, which aired from 1969-1974, included: Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, John Cleese, Carol Cleveland, Ian Davidson, The Fred Tomlinson Singers, Connie Booth, Bob Raymond
Below is a hilarious trailer for one of my personal favorites, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Obviously, I’m going to go with “The Holy Grail”, but I’m also going to go with “Brazil”, even though Michael Palin was the only person from the cast to co-star in it, and Terry Gilliam was the member from the cast who directed it.

Definitely \"Holy Grail\" – the killer rabbits! the Dark Knight! Classic! – and \"Life of Brian.\" Was also lucky enough to also see \"Spam-A-Lot\" when it was on Broadway and got to meet one of the mentioned contributors to \"Before the Flying Circus,\" the very talented David Hyde-Pierce.

The more I read it, the more it impresses me. I don’t know how I ever worked without hilarious and funny things in our life, Life would be so much easier especially when there’s a jokes here and there. Being funny is nice because a lot of serious people are lacking with this kind of behavior that is why they are much look older. I would like to thank you for your outstanding blog post. Keep it up! Awesome!

Holy Grail and Life of Brian. Used to watch these boys every week back in the day. They were and are so funny. My kids (men now) still use some of their phrases and sing the lumber jack song. Can’t beat the dead parrot skit. Know what I mean…nudge..nudge…wink…wink.
