Publisher's Synopsis
From their perfectly insane television show to their consistently irreverent and riotous movies Monty Python has owned the zany and absurd side of comedy since their debut. Their influence can be felt in every comedy show that followed them from ÊSaturday Night LiveÊ and ÊSecond CityÊ television to ÊThe Kids in the HallÊ not to mention all the laughs writ large on the silver screen where their brand of absurdity opened the doors for such people as Jim Carrey who made a name for themselves by pushing the funny even further.ÞThis is the first book to look at everything influenced by the Pythons but also at those who came before them ä from the classic British comedies to the Marx Brothers and everything in the Python universe from ÊFawlty TowersÊ and ÊA Fish Called WandaÊ to ÊSpamalotÊ and ÊBrazilÊ. ÊIf You Like...Monty PythonÊ is a book for any fan who has graduated from the Ministry of Silly Walks and wants more.
