7 Monty Python Sketches To Get You Through The Day
Just Good Vibe

In 1969, six men known as Monty Python created a sketch show called "Monty Python's Flying Circus." While many of you reading may not have seen the show or even heard of Monty Python, they continue to be a source of entertainment for many. If you ever find yourself stuck in a day that just won't end, Monty Python can be a source of joy for you as well. Below are seven sketches from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" that will surely bring a smile to your face.

1. Self-Defense Against Fruit

What makes the above sketch a pick-me-up is that it's a seemingly random and silly topic that's humorous in and of itself. When will you ever need to defend yourself against fruit?

2. The Ministry of Silly Walks

The Ministry of Silly Walks is my personal favorite. The basic premise is a government department that exists for the sole purpose of developing silly walks. John Cleese provides a prime example of what a silly walk should look like. His height and flexibility help make this sketch so amusing.

3. Flying Sheep

The main reason I enjoy this sketch is because of the sheep noises in the background. Because they could not bring real sheep on set, the sheep noises are provided by the rest of the Pythons. The noises alone are enough to make you smile.

4. The Fish Slapping Dance

If you're looking for a short sketch, the "Fish Slapping Dance" is the one. Only 15 seconds long, the "Fish Slapping Dance" is exactly what the title states, and it's a quick way to brighten your day.

5. Flower Arranging

I included this sketch because of the character: DP Gumby, a recurring character on the show. Any sketches involving DP Gumby never fail to make me laugh. Perhaps the same will hold true for you.

6. Undressing In Public

In "Undressing in Public", a beachgoer wishes to change into his swimwear, but keeps getting interrupted while trying to do so. The ending is the crowning moment in the sketch when the beach goer finds himself on stage and ultimately decides to put on a show for the audience

7. Argument Clinic

This sketch is a simple back and forth of two people arguing, one who paid to do so! I know people who argue in a manner similar to the characters in the sketch, part of the reason why it makes me laugh. I'm sure you know someone who does the same.

Whether you're having a bad day or just want a quick laugh, the above sketches will help you out and bring a smile to your face. You can also find many more Monty Python's Flying Circus sketches and silly videos on their YouTube channel.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
