The 16-Ton Monty Python Megaset (2005, DVD)

Movie Description
Although it may weigh slightly less than 16 tons, this collection of MONTY PYTHON material does contain a welter of classic comedy moments, which should delight fans who have had to endure a patient wait for much of it to become available. MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS first aired in 1969, and immediately turned the conventions of sketch comedy on its head. Bemused and amused viewers saw the core Python team of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin playfully toying with the medium as they worked their way through each show. But FLYING CIRCUS wasn't just clever, it was sidesplittingly funny as well, with the cast always making sure the technical quirks were a useful adjunct to the humor, and not the other way round. The entire four-year run of FLYING CIRCUS is included here, alongside two MONTY PYTHON LIVE! presentations--1982's MONTY PYTHON LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL and a reunited Python lineup from 1998 in LIVE AT ASPEN--while the set is rounded out by a "best of" production made to celebrate the 20th year of the Python's, entitled MONTY PYTHON'S PARROT SKETCH NOT INCLUDED.

    As an old Monty P fan, this box has long been on the very top of my wishlist. But in Europe it's has been way too expensive ever since it came out, so when the possibility to buy from outside europe, too a somewhat more fair price, showed itself, i jumped at it! And never regret it that is! But i must warn any future buyers of this product: If ur friends are like mine, they're gonna hang out more at ur place after the purchase of this box! And i don't know about your friend, but mine are messy ;) / :(

    This is a truly remarkable set of DVDs. Monty Python on demand is just a super thing to have. The additional bonus disks of Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl is interesting, although I don't know that I'll watch it over and over. The shows though, are well worth sitting through again and again.

    If you are really wondering whether Monty Python's Flying Circus is worth seeing, just move along; nothing to see here.

      Original Monty Python, every hilarious minute!

    I bought this set for my husband for Valentines Day (though I confess it was really for both of us). It's hysterically funny, if you like this kind of humor. I have found that people either love or hate Monty Python. And I think it's because so many people don't understand the humor. But for my husband and I, it's a love affair! We once owned all of these as they were sold by the Time Life Videos, but had a theft a few years ago. All of our vast DVD collection was part of the huge amounts that were stolen. We had replaced everything else by these very funny guys, and this set completed the collection once again. We love them. We spent the first weekend after I got them having a "Python Weekend".
