According to their Twitter feed, the guys behind this legendary show got started with their writing, rehearsing and eventual airing of the program that would influence comedy throughout the English-speaking world…SNL, The Kids in the Hall, SCTV, The Simpsons, The Daily Show, etc. More importantly, the Pythons’ absurd sensibility spoke to us nerdy teens back in the Seventies and Eighties. The skits being quoted were a secret language or handshake to let you know this person was on the same level.
Thanks guys! I can’t wait to see John Cleese later this year.
