About this Episode

And now for something completely different. Monty Python's Flying Circus redefined comedy from the subatomic level up with sketches that were quotable, absurd, and of course, funnier than a dead parrot full of spam. Guest comedians Rich Baker and Ned Record (of the Lost & Confounded podcast and www.nedrecord.com) join us to roundtable our top 10 Python sketches. Burma!
