That last bit is very true. We read this sketch as a class in our media studies class. "The common property of comedy" seems like a very deserving title

That's right. I remember seeing an old clip of it; it's a sketch of one upman (or downmanship?) that's stood the test of time.

From left to right : Michael Palin (a Yorkshireman in real life), Eric Idle, Graham Chapman (deceased,sadly) and Terry Jones.
There's another version of this on YouTube with John Cleese, Marty Feldman and Tim Brooke-Taylor among the actors. I don't know who actually wrote this sketch but I don't think it's the exclusive brainchild of Monty Python. I think it's unofficially regarded as 'the common property of comedy' - which is a good thing in my view.

wtf?!!! its called entertainment!!!
and what do you mean "people" - are you saying all the people who leave comments are fake robots or something?
the fact that their stories are not true (eg "our father would kill us") is what makes it a comedy as they are clearly exaggerating. everybody knows that monty python is comprised of a group of ACTORS - actors who play different characters and work off scripts - duh!
learn to appreciate the comedy for what it is...
