* GeniusBonus: they're all university graduates and intellectuals, even Terry Gilliam.
** In the Flying Sheep sketch, presented in cod-French as a joint project between France and Great Britain, the driving genius behind ''les moutons volants'' is named as Brian Trubshaw. This is on one level a funny Python-ish name, but it's not one they made up; another joint project between Britain and France, big at the time, was the supersonic airliner ''Concorde''. The test pilot who first took the Concorde prototype past the sound barrier was called... Brian Trubshaw. And of course ''Concorde'' was a character in ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''.
** On the movie ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'', a lot of the background detail was furnished from Creator/TerryJones' academic experience as a postgraduate in Mediaeval History. And Terry went on to produce a six-episode documentary series on mediaeval England, played almost-seriously, as a project in his own right as an academic historian.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Creator/GrahamChapman was a master of this. While the Pythons were filming a comedy special in Germany, their hosts tried to take them on a tour of the [[UsefulNotes/TheHolocaust Dachau concentration camp]], but couldn't because the tourist area closed early. Graham reportedly shouted [[ThoseWackyNazis "Tell them we're Jews!"]] It worked.

This is an extremely negative stereotype about the furry fandom that's only recently been discredited. Please don't spread it.


* HarsherInHindsight: The Gay Panic was skewered by comparing it to a group of moral guardians outraged over people who get their kicks by dressing up as, and pretending to be, mice. A lot of people assume that the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom (ie, people who get their kicks by dressing up as, and pretending to be, animals-mice included, among other things) are all sex fiends.

* FaceOfTheBand: Creator/JohnCleese is ProductionPosse: Even after the best known Python, especially in America, although Creator/EricIdle group officially disbanded after Chapman's death, it was fairly common for various members of the troupe to work on other member's projects. This has caused many fans to assume that any project that includes two or more creative control.Pythons in it is a Monty Python project, even though most of them officially aren't.
