    "It's not paining, It has passed on!
    This parrot is no more!
    It has ceased to be!
    It's expired and gone to meet its maker!
    This is a late parrot!
    It's a stiff, bereft of life! It's rests in peace!
    If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies!
    It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!!

      If one can never be too young to appreciate British classical humour, then it ought to be the case that your daughter also appreciated and adored this sketch when she was 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 11 months, 10 months, and so on down to 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 6 days, down to 1 day old, down to 1 minute old. Or is it the case that she only began to adore and appreciate it when she was 8 years old? In that case how can you say that you're never too young to do so? If you really are never too young to do so, then she should have been appreciating and adoring it since she was born.

      Huh? Shouldn't it be "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton" to its perch? How can something be bolton to something? You mean "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton". What on Earth is "bolton to its perch"?? That's neither a pun, nor a palindrome, nor any other recognised wordplay. If the parrot was flying quickly to Ipswich, then you could say that "it's boltin' to Ipswich", which would be a pun. But "bolton to its perch" is meaningless. Or, if the parrot was moving quickly to its perch, then you might say "it's boltin' to its perch". BTW its = belonging to it. It's = it is.

    For everyone asking what makes Monty Python funny to some people, it's that the sketches are both silly and relatable. It's classic satire in the same way the Onion is funny. Monty Python pokes fun of certain aspects of life or culture. In this case, they're making fun of a situation where you have to return something, which is relatable both to people who have worked retail, or those who tend to get into arguments with people who give you bullshit answers to things. It's also the absurdity of the way he talks about the parrot. Some people don't find it funny, and that's okay.

    Proof of great comedy: it stands the test of time. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this sketch and over thirty years later, here I am still laughing just as hard. Thanks for sharing! Those 101 "unlikers" must be a pretty sad (clueless) bunch in my opinion...

    AGREED!
    Allot of there skits ended like this?
    "Police Man" pops up and there's no resolution to the story?
    That's absurd?
    It makes absolutely no sense?
    It is just a total cop out?
    >Cop Out...
    >COP OUT!!!
    It was a play on words. That was the joke my friend ;-)

    -"I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it."
    -"Look my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now."
    -"The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead."
    -"Alright then. If it's restin', I'll wake it up. HELLO POLLY!!! I GOT A NICE CUTTLEFISH FOR YOU WHEN YOU WAKE UP POLLY PARROT!!!" ... "HELLO POLLY!!! POLLY!!! (whack whack whack) POLLY PARROT WAKE UP!!! (whack whack) POLLY!" (resigned throw, parrot thuds onto ground) "Now that's what I'd call a dead parrot."
    -"That parrot is defenitely deceased."
    -"... Look, matey. This parrot wouldnt 'foom' if I put 4000 volts through it. It's bleedin' demised."
    -"It's not! It's-it's pining!"
    -"It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no MORE! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This, is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace; if you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rolled down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This! Is an ex! Parrot!"
    -"... Well I better replace it then."
    thats 18 different ways of expressing that that parrot is dead. blue in the mouth indeed.

    my mother and my sister bought a rabbit from a pet shop near us a couple of years ago. it inexplicably died about 3 days later. my mother went back to the shop to tell the guy behind the counter. "What? No you must be mistaken. We don't even sell rabbits."

      I've heard an audio-only live version of this sketch, and a prop failure sent the crowd into hysterics. I think the head flew off when John was banging the parrot on the bench. I can't remember the next comment :P

    For those who wonder:
    I used to live 100 yards away from Michael Palin.s house. He is a very humble man, he is originally from Sheffield never study at a private school,has 3 children, all of them attended a public school,
    Sir Michael Palin sadly lost his wife recently,
    He lives in the Gospel Oak NW3 area in the North part of London, and his house is surrounded by social houses (Camden Council)
    He is the Britain.s most humble and loving gentleman!

    The main sketch itself is as fresh as ever. I don't ever recall seeing the bit about Bolton. That's going well into the realms of surrealism. Utterly abstract.
