What is it about Monty Python and geek culture? To be immersed in computers, chats, or the web at large and not have a broad knowledge of Monty Python sketches counts almost as a handicap. Without Python awareness, you’ll be lost in a quagmire of obscure references that sail over your head. Whenever you find yourself wondering things like “Why did they threaten me with the comfy chair?”, “What was that bit he did with naming all those cheeses?”, and “What’s this dead parrot everybody’s going on about?”, you’ll probably find your answer by looking it up in a search related to Monty Python. Just mashups on YouTube alone have almost spawned their own cottage industry - look here:

• Camelot / Star Trek
• Black Knight / Star Wars
• How Not To Be Seen / Halo
• Always Look On the Bright Side of Life / Passion of the Christ
• Always Look On the Bright Side of Life / Jesus Christ Superstar
