Everyone knows about singing lumberjacks and dead parrots and knights who say NI and spam. In fact, all these things have gotten so tired and cliche cliche that people who aren't familiar with Monty Python are likely to think it's not that funny, that it's just a bunch of people shouting NI and SPAM and EX-PARROT at each other.
So here, thanks to the magic of YouTube, is a small collection of representative Python sketches for those who aren't very familiar with Python, but think that SPAM SPAM SPAM just isn't that funny any more.
Ministry of Silly Walks
Spanish Inquisition
Four Yorkshiremen
Nudge Nudge (note: this one actually has a punchline)
Self-Defence against Fresh Fruit
Penguin on the Television
Buying a Bed
Dirty Fork
Every Sperm is Sacred
Romans Go Home!
Election Night
Argument Clinic
And, because it was voted their all-time favourite by the Pythons themselves, the Fish-Slapping Dance!

Well, there's "It's the Mind", where we examine the phenomenon of deja vu, that extraordinary feeling where you feel like something has happened before.
Then, of course, there are the llamas. Llamas are very dangerous, so if you see one where people are swimming, shout: "Look out! There are llamas!"
And then there's "It's the Mind", where we examine the phenomenon of deja vu, that extraordinary feeling... where you feel like something... um...
And a personal favourite for me is the tragic story of Ernest Scribbler.
But best of all is "It's the Mind", where we examine the phenomenon of deja vu... that extraordinary... feeling...
[Note: I couldn't find the one about Lookout of the Yard (why? what would we see?) -- nor could I find "It's the Mind", where... we... um...]
