Weekend Comedy Series: Monty Python

There are so many good Monty Python clips, bits, movies and discussions that it was hard to decide what to feature here this week. Given the confusion, I decided to take us back to the beginning, the very first episode of their TV show for the BBC.

So, imagine it is October of 1969, and you’ve tuned into the BBC for a bit of news, or perhaps a look at gardening in Wales. All is peaceful and orderly, until this program begins.

Episode 1 is called “Whither Canada?” You should watch and decide for yourself.

This aired on TV and is likely to seem old and silly, but be warned nonetheless that humor can be offensive and hurt feelings and otherwise be inappropriate. Don’t watch if the funnies make you nervous or anxious.
