The Friday Link for 1/24/20

Terry Jones died.  He was a member of the greatest comedy sketch group of all time, Monty Python's Flying Circus.  This week I wanted to feature a few of his bits.

For the record, this post will not feature anything from Life of Brian, but not because Jones wasn't good in that.  On the contrary, he was fantastic, but try to find a non controversial scene with him as Brian's mother or as the Hermit.  I was going to actually post the Hermit bit, but that is a lot of Jones nudity!

Also, the restaurant scene from Meaning of Life is another I'll leave for you to find on your own.

Jones was great as Nigel Incubator Jones in the Twit Contest.



Next up is Hell's Grannies!



In Monty Python and The Holy Grail, there is this stupendous scene where Terry Jones only has a few lines, but two of them are some of the funniest of all time.  He worked so well with Michael Palin.



And finally, a revisiting of the Spam skit for a live special.  His dementia took its toll in the end, but this was filmed before he's condition worsened.  A classic comedian in a classic ludicrous skit.



Have a great weekend everyone!
