WE LIVE IN THE DAYS OF THE DEATHS OF THE REAL COMEDIANS...

HAS JOHN CLEESE MADE A COMMENT YET...? RIP BEST OF ALL OF US! HE GOT TO BE TRULY FREE..IN HIS ART AND NOW.

If you want a good woman, find one that appreciates Monty Python

Never heard of him.

Monty Python and Terry Jones have been a seminal part of my sense of humor since my teens. very funny man, thank you Mr. Jones for all the laughs. You made the world a better place.

A true titan of comedy. From back in the days when comedy was still legal.

COUNTS AS A BIG CELEB..WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO?...DO DO DO DO ...

Cheeky lol

He was the co-director, along with Terry Gilliam, of the great comedy masterpiece "Monty Python and The Holy Grail". Their best without a doubt. The best ending of all time, with the modern day police arresting all the knights!

AHHH! Neil Peart, now Terry Jones! Man, that's hurts. Both complete geniuses in their field. That's a great loss that will never be replaced.

May God grant them peace and mercy, and their families the same.

Well that is your fault then.

RIP.

Eat coconut oils.

AVOID ALUMINIUM

but then... the mercury in your teeth will be leaching with every cup of hot coffee

Thanks for the laughs.....brilliant comedy.

Damn!!

Oh my Gosh! Brian's mother was SO FUNNY in Monty Python's
"Life of Brian!"

Here is the beginning of the movie. It basically follows
this guy named "Brian" who is mistakenly thought to be
Jesus by some people when the messiah is being located.
Terry Jones plays the mother (he is in this clip:)

R.I.P.


O'sCookie

RIP Graham. RIP Terry Jones.

Love the Python off-beat humor, so does my wife. RIP Terry Jones, we lost a great comedy intellect. You will not be forgotten for your contribution to infectious laughter. I have looked high and low for the cars with roof garden skit, it was a forerunner to the Knights who say 'nee' shubbery demands...with a nice picket fence.

That’s a big butt.

This is sad news. Thank you Terry for all the joy you've given me. RIP

This has remained one of my favorite pieces for several decades now.

The passing of another personality I loved since I was a kid.

I think the first that I was aware of at the time was Groucho Marx.

I was a big fan of Monty Python in the early seventies, when almost no one I knew at school had ever heard of them. I would impersonate the voices and skits at school for mostly kids who hadn't seen the show, because they weren't allowed to stay up that late, and their parents would have hated it.

They called me "Monty" in that junior high era.

My own mother was always complaining about it, asking with exasperation, why I wanted to watch that show.

I watched all the movies as they came out, watched Fawlty Towers when it debuted.

I saw Jabberwocky on vacation in Colorado, making a long treck across the city on foot to find the theater.

My fellow Monty Python enthusiast told me about Life of Brian, before I had ever heard of it, because he was Catholic, and he had heard hellfire and damnation sermons about it at church. He wasn't allowed to see it.

My point is that it has been a part of my life, with humor and attitudes so close to my own that I wonder if Monty Python and their other work appealed to me because their outlook was so much like my own, or whether they trained my outlook in part.

I do miss it when someone like that passes away and their voices and outlooks cease to develop. They stop producing new work, and they become unavailable for comment on new cultural developments.

Eventually, young people ask: "Monty Python? What's that?"

Terry Jones was a prolific author and medieval historian:

[link to www.openculture.com]

"In 2003, Jones collaborated with several historians on Who Murdered Chaucer? A speculative study of the period in which many of the figures he later surveyed in his show and book emerged as distinctive types. As in his work with Monty Python, he didn’t only apply his contrarianism to medieval history. He also called the Renaissance “overrated” and “conservative,” and in his 2006 BBC One series Terry Jones’ Barbarians, he described the period we think of as the fall of Rome in positive terms, calling the city’s so-called “Sack” in 410 an invention of propaganda."
