Recurring Sketches
- The fish-slapping dance sketch appeared in four episodes, perhaps because many were involved in the sketch. John Cleese and Michael Palin appear in it. Terry Jones and Palin were the writers of the sketch. Terry Gilliam created the cartoon that introduced the sketch. The episode in which it did not feature was Eric Idle's.
- Three variations of "The Lumberjack Song" are shown in the shows, the original version shown in the show, the German language version for Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus, and the performance done in Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl.
