January issue of The Atlantic has profiled the Pythons - The Beatles of Comedy by David Free (Free is an Australian!)
Free mentions:
I concede that there are people who don’t find the parrot sketch funny at all. I know a couple of them personally. They are unmoved by the sight of John Cleese in his raincoat, wielding that stuffed parrot and saying, “It’s bleeding demised.” I know them, but I can’t help them.
Exactly my sentiments after I watched Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom -
not the comedy per se, but the whole movie as such. Its classic Wes, with classic Wes moments and a classy cast.
