The 16-Ton Monty Python Megaset

This unassuming case is packed with 16 tons of funny: 14 discs of THE COMPLETE MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS, packed with every madcap moment from the programme’s four year run, plus 2 MONTY PYTHON LIVE! discs featuring — well, you figure it out.

While to the uninitiated they may look like ordinary .65 oz. digital video discs, due to the unique physics of comedy (it’s like quantum but with fewer dead cats), each disc actually weighs a full metaphoric ton! Please remember to lift with your knees.

This 16-Ton Megaset contains every single episode of MONTY PYTHONG’S FLYING CIRCUS — four years of blood, sweat and blancmange — jammed into slivers of plastic the size of a tea plate and MONTY PYTHON LIVE! — Legendary live performances, the 20-year celebration of Monty Python Parrot Sketch Not Included, and the all-German Monty Python’s Fligender Zirkus episode #1 squashed like pancakes. Sad, really.
