The 4 Best Monty Python Sketches, Ever

There's no arguing that Monty Python is maybe the most iconic comedy group to ever grace the Earth, but there's often much debate around which sketch is their best.

"Twentieth Century Vole"

"Twentieth Century Vole" is not only hilarious, it's an insightful commentary into the pressures of being a screenplay (and sometimes novel!) writer. It reminds me not to take people's criticism too seriously, because they might be one step away from the looney bin.

"Parrot Sketch"

This sketch wouldn't be the same without John Cleese's outrageous declarations, facial expressions, and flamboyant personality. One of the classics that really shows off his talent as a writer, comedian, and actor.

"Argument Clinic"

Again, a clever sketch that breaks the 4th wall and becomes self-aware. My favorite part has to be Gregory Chapman's turn-on-a-dime attitude change. "Oh, sorry, this is abuse" gets me every time.

"Fish License"

Another nonsensical, yet side-splittingly funny sketch! There are some extremely subtle jokes and then there are bits that the whole family can laugh at, which is a common theme in a lot of Monty Python sketches. Needless to say, this one's a gem.

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.
