Examining Monty Pythons enduring status as an unconventional, anti-authoritarian comedy touchstone, this book reappraises Pythons comedy output from the perspective of its 50 years of cultural circulation. Reconsidering the groups originality, impact and durability, a range of international scholars explores Pythons influences, production contexts, frequently controversial themes, and the cult status and forms of fandom associated with Python in the present day. From television sketches, including The Funniest Joke in the World, Hells Grannies, Dead Parrot and Confuse-a-Cat, to the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life, to songs from the albums and live shows, this book is a ground-breaking critical analysis of the Monty Python phenomenon.
