Quips and Quotations (TV Sketch Comedy Edition)



In fact, there were some Americans who when they saw Monty Python said, "These guys are ripping off Saturday Night Live." Whereas of course we were pre-Saturday Night Live. But if you'd seen Saturday Night Live and hadn't seen Python, and then you see Python, those conventions had been broken already for the audience, even though we were doing that stuff first.

In order to keep the hucksters, humbugs, scoundrels, psychos, morons, and last but not least, artificial intelligentsia at bay, I have decided to turn on comment moderation. On the plus side, I've gotten rid of the word verification.
