   I really enjoy stuff like this, but I like Dane Cook too. I guess that’s just me, though.

   Actually, How To Irritate People was released in 1968 – Monty Python’s Flying Circus began in 1969. This sketch was most certainly a prequel to the Parrot Sketch. And a hilarious one at that.

   John Cleese talks about it in an interview, actually.

   This was, in fact, the original idea from which the Norwegian Blue parrot sketch was derived — according to the Python cast.
   That automobile, by the way, is an ex-car. It’s a write-off. A total wreck. The sensitivity of the gear box don’t enter into it.

   This was performed about 15 years after the parrot sketch.

    I think this was the prequel to the Parrot Sketch. They just substituted an animal for the car.

    I have seen frogs with a lot less talent than Terry Gilliam. Well, no I haven’t, but I have heard that there are frogs in certain parts of Croatia with less talent. And I choose to believe this.

    I love Monty Pyton!

    Especially these three. Wait. I love all of them except Gilliam! I mean. Seriously. The guy’s a frog with a bad sense of humor.

    Hey, I’m American and I love Monty Python and all of the jokes. But it’s sadly true, a lot of American “funny” movies/TV shows could use better humor. Personally, Monty Python and Brit humor is funnier than watching a character getting made fun of or lots of curses, so everybody’s sense of humor is mostly the same, we just have bad joke writers.

    Nice and elitist aren’t we? Monty Python is my main inspiration and why I got into comedy in the first place. Come on and respond, or are you too cowardly to admit you were wrong?

    i think its funny that what made monty python skits so funny was that they were completely pointless

    I mostly hate all American television. it sucks and is incredibly boring and pointless. Monty Python and British humor in general is hilarious. I hope this means I’m not a stereotypical American idiot, but whatever it is, that’s what I am.

    What are you talking about? Monty Python has a pretty big cult following in the US. Hell, most of my friends think it’s great, and I live in Arizona.

    I agree, and I’m American myself. We have had our gems but even they’ve been more widely appreciated in the UK (like Bill Hicks) while mediocre hacks thrive here. Brits have better taste in comedy, generally. If Dane Cook tried to do stand-up in England he’d be slapped in the face like he deserves. We’ve stolen British TV comedies for a reason.

    SauronsEye the fact is Americans in general are completely devoid of humour, they don’t get it if it isn’t slapstick or if the jokes aren’t predictable.They haven’t a clue what irony is and frankly I think Monty Python is far too sophisticated for them to understand it.

    American “humour” is based on degrading people. Watch any American sitcom, someone has to tbe the butt of the joke.

    British humour is based on circumstance/or a different perception of the circumstance or observational humour.
