‘I’ve forgotten everything about it’: Eric Idle reflects on ‘Monty Python’

[@johnllewlyndavies222]

"People are very angry about their religions, otherwise there wouldn't be so many." Throwaway line of genius.

[@priver9866]

Several things have stayed with me over time, "I'm not quite dead", " YE HOLY HAND GRENADE". The reason for "YHHG" of course, what else would it be but, Killer Rabbits. I also remember so much of the flying circus I miss that kind of humor.

[@jamwayofaiken-augustarockb7643]

Im a huge fan, God bless yall! And btw, the parrot was NOT DEAD, he was just acting...

The men from Monty Phython are the funnies guys I have ever seen! Always look on the bright side of life. 🎼🎶

[@polarfamily6222]

A true comedic genius that's way ahead of the times.

[@Perspari]

Great interview!

[@annieholbis2430]

I had no idea that all of these famous bands financed MP's first movie

[@elultimo102]

Wasn't "Holy Grail" the first Python movie?

[@Muljinn]

Nah, the first couple movies were just repeats of their Flying Circus sketches.

[@BrianBellia]

What a lovely man.

[@martinnotrevealed7910]

I agree, and so down to earth.

Never would have thought Eric Idle would have made me tear up a bit.

Love MP. My young kids love them too!

[@bonobabie]

Eric Idle “Don’t put up with shit. There are other things to do”. The man is a legend!

[@alexandrugeorgescu6366]

"don't put up with shit" that's actually rather stupid because it sounds wise but it's hollow. if you don't put up with anything you will eventually fall for everything. he should stick to comedy not philosophy & psychology.

[@bonobabie]

@@alexandrugeorgescu6366 Ok, if you want to live your life putting up with shit then that’s your choice. You should try comedy because philosophy & psychology are clearly not working for you!

[@alexandrugeorgescu6366]

@bonobabie first of all it's: philosophy & psychology ARE clearly not working for you. because there are plural subjects so the verb has to be in the plural form as well. secondly: i like their humour but there is way better thought provoking and hilarious comedy than Monty Python.

[@bonobabie]

@@alexandrugeorgescu6366 Thank you for correcting my grammar, even though it was autocorrect that changed it in the first place. Secondly, I couldn’t care less what comedy you like. Have a nice day! 🙂

[@elultimo102]

In line with Eric's reasoning, Sean Penn complained that he was going to quit acting: "Why do something you hate?" Jay Leno's response: "It's called a JOB." (That's life for most of us).

Man in a cardigan with a pipe casually looking off a deck over a sandy beach across the body of ocean he has the advantage of seeing daily on this cooler cloudy day he says after taking a puff on his pipe with aromatic tobacco. Always aromatic tobacco🤷 He looks off across the vast body of water and says "I never liked eric all that much but than again he could make me laugh sometimes when he wasn't gussied up in womens clothing. But nowadays I see his humor"

[@hyacinthlynch843]

Of all the Pythons, Eric was my favorite - and apparently he was George Harrison's as well.

[@bradwilliams1691]

Let's get this straight - George Harrison mortgaged his house to finance The Life of Brian. I would've thought that, being one of the Beatles - George could've ponied up the dough from his pocket money. All that aside, I'd just like to say - thank you, George.
