Monty Python's Flying Circus: Celebrating 50 Years of Laughter and Absurdity

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the 50th anniversary of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". It once figured prominently in an initiation ritual here, which started with the question in the thread title.

I think those fellows had a bit of a thing about fish.

There's the talking fish in a tank that open The Meaning of Life.
The avant-garde poem recitation about 'where is the fish', that 'went wherever I did go', in the same movie.
The skit about buying a license for Erik the pet fish
A Fish Called Wanda - at least partially Python.

There were many hilarious bits in the Monty Python shows; that wasn’t one of them...

Another fish theme

I loved the pythons. The animation, songs sketches and films all brilliant.
This is one of my favourite sketches.
