Monty Python

Monty Python is a British comedy troupe, famous for the television program Monty Python's Flying Circus and the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Monty Python's the Life of Brian.

In the anniversary TV special, Python Night: 30 Years of Monty Python, Trey Parker and Matt Stone made a short South Park homage to Monty Python with the Dead Friend Sketch, a parody of the "Dead Parrot Sketch". The cartoon also featured Terry Gilliam at the end.

Parker and Stone have cited Gilliam as an influence on the South Park animation style.

Monty Python alum Eric Idle provided the voice of Doctor Vosknocker in South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
