Sex Education… Monty Python Style!

It’s simple. Either you’re old enough to remember Monty Python, or you were intrigued enough to blow the dust of your mum and dads video cassettes. If you just don’t know what the hell I’m on about – Stay with me here.

This video shows a clip from the legendary 1983 film ‘Monty Python’s Meaning of Life.’ The clip depicts possibly one of the most famous and notable moments of television history. John Cleese uses a somewhat unusual, shocking and thoroughly cringe-worthy method of teaching sex education. Forget dolls, biology videos and anything thing else remotely normal. John Cleese erects a 4 poster bed and has full (step by step) sex with his assistant in front of a rather uncomfortable class of ‘teenage’ boys, although some looked like they reached puberty 15 year earlier!

Fantastic, hilarious and dare I say, groundbreaking for the age. 28 years later, this clip is still excellent. In fact I suggest you do one better… buy the digitally remastered DVD and laugh from beginning to end.
