The British are known for their stiff upper lips – but also for their sense of the absurd. The six men of Monty Python’s Flying Circus forged a remarkably influential comedy troupe with their willingness to combine highbrow literary and historical references with lowbrow silliness, and they’ve liked nothing better than to point out the absurdity of, well, stiff upper lips. So don’t stop being silly – see how you do with this quiz about one of the UK’s finest exports.

  1. Eric Idle may not be an American citizen, but he DID live here as a child.

  4. I only got 7/12. And I call myself a Python fan.

    I’m going to go tell my mother she is a hamster and my dad that he smells of elderberries.

  5. 11/12.

    The only one I missed was the Credits one, because that’s not very Python. I am a HUUUUGE Python fan, so I thoroughly enjoyed this quiz, thanks guys!

  7. 11/12. I missed the Rutles one. I actually had 2nd thoughts about. My answer was based on which Beatle I thought most willing to take the piss out of the Beatles, but then I remembered which Beatle was a big Python fan, and didn’t change my answer. I should’ve.

    I’ll also admit I guessed correctly on more than my fair share.

  11. By the way, for all of you Python/Beatles fans, George Harrison actually appears in “Life of Brian” as an extra.
