Chapman's behaviour just *before* he puts a bag over his head is priceless! The mattress skit was actually a Monty Python experiment where they tested the theory that no matter how insane people behave, it needs consistency.

Well, reality shows that insanity does tend to have some kind of logic to it. There's a weird pattern to it, whether it's excessive impulsivity, repetitive behavior, obsessions, excessive impulsivity, repetitive behavior, obsessions, excessive impulsivity, repetitive behavior, obsessions, excessive impulsivity, repetitive behavior, obsessions, excessive impulsivity, repetitive behavior, obsessions.

"And now for something completely different" is their modus operandi. They start out acting straight, and then start throwing curve balls at the audience. This sketch, the Architect's Sketch. The Argument Clinic, Dead Parrot, it is an evergreen strategy. Too bad so many comedians these days can't figure that out.

I was introduced to Monty Python via a cassette tape my dad owned, and this was one of my favorite bits. Though on the cassette they changed a couple lines to better fit the audio-only format: for one, instead of a bag, Mr. Lambert puts a metal bucket on his head, and instead of a tea chest it's a fish tank, so you hear sloshing water noises before he starts singing.

This is the sketch that hooked me. Summer of 1975. One of my older brothers had told me to keep an eye out for Monty Python's Flying Circus. He didn't say anything else. I was expecting airplanes! It wasn't just how hilarious it was, but how unlike anything I'd ever seen before, as well. It changed my life, it really did.

I worked on a BBC transmitter in 1969, and I got home after evening shift just in time to see the first ever episode of MPFC, broadcast in some late night slot on BBC2. My mate, who shared a flat with me, was on night shift, and missed it. So I told him all about it next day. The following week he worked evenings and I had nights, so he had to watch and tell me the sketches. And so we went on week after week, taking it in turns to memorise whole chunks of dialogue for each other. Happy days.

An appreciation for something I never noticed before in this: at 2:47 Eric tries to step into the tea chest but trips and nearly falls over. He doesn't even flinch or let it throw him off in the least. It looked like it was an accident and not planned, but it was so smoothly done that I'm not even sure about that.

Lesser comedians would have resorted to the bawdy _Carol Cleveland on a mattress_ theme and garnered a few cheap laughs. In the Python universe, however, the viewer is being offered an education: As progressively unpredictable and off-the-rails as this skit may seem, the order behind the chaos will become unmistakeably clear if only you're willing to watch and listen and forget your preconceptions for a while. The rewarding experience might be compared to suddenly discovering the beauty of avantgarde jazz and subsequently becoming a lifelong aficionado, like with these brilliant Brits (plus one Yank).
