The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus; All the Words Volume One

I love that this exists. For anyone who is interested in Monty Python, it is a fantastic resource to be able to read the scripts. As a teenager, I had this book, and reading it often cracked me up.However, Monty Python was working in the early 1970s and some of their humor played on racial stereotypes in a way that now feels very out-dated. While watching the show, it was easy to overlook these racial stereotypes, because the show moved along so quickly.But, in print, some of the racial stuff becomes much more prominent. There is a bit in which a lawyer talks about how he was late, because he couldn't find a kosher restaurant. Again, these are not deal-breakers, as Monty Python at least tends to point their satire at all people. Still, for readers in 2015, this book's material does contain some jokes that don't quite land well anymore.

Book in good, clean condition and arrived on time.

Even for folks unfamiliar with Monty Python and its peculiar and veddy English appeal, this book and its companion volume ("All The Words, Volume II") are both treasures. Everything is in here--EVERYTHING. Every single bloody word from every single bloody skit! It's a lark! It's a hoot! It's a howl! It's everything every Python aficionado ever dreamed of and more.The book is especially useful for Python lovers who've perhaps had a little trouble deciphering the accents of our beloved lads. You name it, and it's in here with every single word, every pause, every "um, yes, well" and more. As the members of Python themselves would say:"It's satire.""No, it isn't. This is zany madcap humour."

An absolute must for any serious Monty Python fan! This book has specific dialog on every episode of the television series, and I would also highly recommend Volume 2 to complete this one!

Reading the scripts brings back memories of when Monty Python's Flying Circus was first aired on American TV. Even the bad sketches are better than 90% of the comedy sketches being done today.

great stuff

great book by the masters of the unusual type of comedy - hey, it's an English group of awesome talent. Would encourage people to read this if at all interested in comedy.

"I laughed until I stopped." Great book!

It is the best sketch comedy you will EVER read
