Top 5 reasons I love Monty Python

One~I'm a sucker for 70s British comedy. I grew up with it because my dad loves it, so I've been inundated with Python since I was little.
Two~The Bruces' Philosopher Song is brilliant. I don't think I'd know who half of those philosophers were if not for the song. Of course, all during my Critical Thinking class last trimester, when we learned about Immanuel Kant, the song got stuck in my head XD "Immanuel Kant was a real piss ant..." Haha. I can't look at a Heidegger book in the library because I start laughing like a loon.
Three~Michael Palin was adorable. Well, he's still cute, for a 60-something year old guy. Haha.
Four~They pretty much changed the face of comedy in general. Because they were so...out there. Very different, stream-of-consciousness, and Gilliam's animations added so much to the material.
Five~.....................Noooooooooooobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
