Normally I would question joking about such things, but I am full well aware that every one of those guys would consider it an honor if you did and possibly an insult if you did not.

Cleese had a nice tweet about him this morning and then concluded with "two down, four to go."

They've been joking about being an incomplete set since 1989. Hell, in one '90s special they brought "Graham's urn" out, spilled it halfway thru the show and cleaned it up with brooms and a dustbuster.

“Better get me a bucket. Just keep it away from Cleese, he’ll spill my ashes.”

I loved not only his comedy, but also his historical documentaries. He was brilliant in so many areas.

Oh yes, he was a very lovely host for those things.

Cleese also sampled a taste of the contents.

RIP Spam man.

I knew he was ill, but that doesn’t lessen the tragedy. Very sad news. RIP to a very funny man.

"Quite recently I went round with a book we'd written together, Dr Fegg's Encyclopaedia of All World Knowledge. I started reading a few little bits out of it and for the first time for a long time I heard real laughter, that little wispy laughter of Terry's.

"I thought that was a marvellously encouraging thing to happen, but what was best of all was that Terry was only laughing at the bits he'd written. I thought, that's defying dementia for you."

- Sir Michael Palin was speaking on BBC Radio Four's The World at One.

Notoriously the nicest and most thoughtful python. Remained a kind sweetheart even into his old age and illness.

Sad but not surprised , its been in the media for yrs re : dementia....in fact he struggled with lines during the last '14 show at o2 (which i went to)

Funniest for me would be Life of Brian mom and "Say no more skit"

One of my favourite sketches ever was The Piranha Brothers (aka Ethel The Frog). Which featured the Terry Jones character Welsh Chief Inspector Harry “Snapper” Organs.. one of my favourite Monty Python characters. In fact he was featured in my sig for a few months several years back.

The Piranha Brothers/Ethel The Frog sketch in my opinion is one of the greatest pieces of comedy ever. The whole cast was great during that sketch.. and Terry’s character really stood out.

“WHAT’S ALL THIS THEN!?”

I lived his work in TV and film, he was also a pretty great author. Evil Machines is a delightful book, and the World's most powerful vacuum is one of my favourite fictional villains.

Rest in peace, Mr. Jones.
