OMG! Not the comfy chair! Anything but the comfy chair! Give me the rack!
The rack bit hurt almost as much as the comfy chair .
"He wasna so much a man as... a blancmange!"
I love this bit. (LOL)
Why is it so funny to see Englishmen transformed into Scotsmen? I mean, it is, but why?

Because the whole concept is absurd .
Why do you laugh at the Spanish Inquisition sketch ? It's no less bizarre and absurd .

In terms of comedy they have far more hits then they do misses.

One bit that does confuse me is the knight in armor who slaps people with a rubber chicken .
You need a hobby.

After alot of sleepless nights with lots of pondering and head scratching , I have come up with a working theory explaining the Knights origins why he does we what he does . The Knight is a member of the Knights Templar who somehow escaped from King Phillip the 4th of France, was catapulted through time by means unknown from the 14th century to the 20th century , was hired by the Monty Python Troop for the sole purpose of slapping cast members with a rubber chicken when a given skit got to be to silly for the audiences tastes. He filled in when Graham Chapman's army office character wasn't available .
Sounds mostly plausible, with the glaring exception of the phrase "when a given skit got to be to silly for the audiences tastes."After alot of sleepless nights with lots of pondering and head scratching , I have come up with a working theory explaining the Knights origins why he does we what he does .

I don't believe that any Monty Python skit ever got too silly for an audience who willingly and gleefully sat down to watch the show. Good God, man! What were you thinking?

They were one of best comedy teams in all history .
When you look at the world through their eyes , it can be a very absurd and silly place.
