Go To

1* At a 2002 tribute concert to Music/GeorgeHarrison (himself a longtime Python fan, who created Handmade Films simply because he wanted to see Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian), [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq_0GKqSii8 the Pythons reunited to perform "Sit On My Face" and "The Lumberjack Song".]] At the end of the performance, the chorus of Mounties turned to the portrait of George Harrison and delivered a British military salute, before marching off, chanting, "Spam, spam, spam, spam..."
2* The reaction to Creator/JohnCleese's "freeloading bastard" joke at Creator/GrahamChapman's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkxCHybM6Ek funeral]] is this for the simple reason that it got the reaction that Cleese wanted... it lifted their spirits.
3* At the final performance of the reunion concerts in July 2014 during the Dead Parrot Sketch Creator/JohnCleese added "He's gone to meet Dr. Chapman" to the list of euphemisms for death. Both Cleese and Creator/MichaelPalin [[DueToTheDead then paused and proffered a thumbs up towards heaven while the audience burst into applause.]]
4* Among the songs reworked or rewritten for the final reunion show was an update of "The Penis Song," formerly consisting of a single verse now expanded to three to include vaginas and butts for equal opportunity.
5* How the troupe's media appearances [[BookEnds begin and end with]] ''Flying Circus''. The very end of ''Film/MontyPythonsTheMeaningOfLife'' ends with [[spoiler: the theme song playing as an episode's just gotten started on a television, then slowly floating away in space.]] Fitting end for them, if anything.
