“Blackmail”. One of the funnier bits. Michael Palin, as the show host talking on the phone with a contestant “No sir, we don’t morally censure, we just want the money. OK , it’s on the way? OK then, goodbye dad.”

Insiders say that the crew worried that the Obama Jivethon Lying Circus cast's hilarious parody of an American Administration topped all Python efforts of the past.. in toto. No exceptions. Everything.

British surreal comedy has had quite an evolution. Before and after Monty Python (1969) there was (some highlights):
The Goon Show (radio)(1951-1960). Included Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, and Harry Secombe. Very influential.
Beyond the Fringe (1964). Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
At Last the 1948 Show (1967-1968) (included Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Marty Feldman, and Tim Brooke-Taylor (of The Goodies).
Do Not Adjust Your Set (1967-1969) (included Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin, and Terry Gilliam).
How to Irritate People (1968)(single show featuring John Cleese.)
Marty (1968) and It’s Marty (1969). (Many of the above.)
The Q Series (1969-1982). Spike Milligan. There were six series in all, the first five numbered from Q5 to Q9, and a final series titled There’s a Lot of It About. Q5 heavily influence Monty Python.
The Marty Feldman Comedy Machine (1971).
The Goodies (1970-1980).
Derek and Clive Get the Horn (1979). Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
The Young Ones (1982–1984).

What amazed me was when I realized how Monty Python appealed to kids.
My brother and his wife took care of six greek boys (Nephews) from age 4 to 12, and I looked out the window at them, and they were laughing and giggling as they faithfully re-enacted entire Monty Python sketches!
It really floored me!
