Monty Python’s Flying Circus was a British comedy program on BBC. A classic that is repeated ad nauseum today, some don’t even realize they are quoting a Monty Python skit. The show started late in 1969 and is still being sold on DVDs, played through streaming video on the internet, and through specials.

“It’s not pining. It’s passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace.

“Our experts describe you as an appallingly dull fellow, unimaginative, timid, lacking in initiative, spineless, easily dominated, no sense of humour, tedious company and irrepressibly drab and awful. And whereas in most professions these would be considerable drawbacks, in chartered accountancy they are a positive boon.”

Client 1: Excuse me.
Mr. Wiggin: Yes?
Client 1: Did you say ‘knives’?
Mr. Wiggin: Rotating knives, yes.
Client 2: Do I take it that you are proposing to slaughter our tenants?
Mr. Wiggin: …Does that not fit in with your plans?
Client 1: Not really. We asked for a simple block of flats.
