Few other folks outside of Monty Python get to relive their comedy sketches like they do.

While chatting with Seth Meyers last night, John Cleese got to talking about one of Monty Python’s most enduring sketches and how, when they performed it live, it would go a wry in the best way.

You begin to wonder if any other sketch troupe will ever be this big ever again? Maybe Key & Peele?

As part of their reunion shows at London’s O2 Arena, Monty Python has gotten another reminder of their legacy as a 50 ft. dead parrot sculpture now resides Potters Field Park in London in reference to their dead parrot sketch.

Even if you aren’t familiar with the sketch, it’s pretty great to walk by a gigantic parrot in riga mortis.
