terry jones – The Comedy Bureau

R.I.P. Terry Jones, 1942-2020

January 22, 2020

Terry Jones was a member of the one of the most renowned comedy troupes of all time, Monty Python. His work alongside Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Michael Palin, and the late Graham Chapman will very likely stand the test of time comedically and as a cultural artifact of both the 20th and 21st centuries.

Jones unfortunately succumbed to complications from a form of dementia that he had be battling with for years. Terry did manage to complete work voice work on an animation project The Land of Sometimes before his time came to an end.

You never really need an excuse to watch any and all of Monty Python (Flying Circus, Holy Grail, Meaning of Life, Life of Brian, so on and so forth), but today would be a pretty grand day to revisit revolutionary absurdist comedy in honor of Jones.

Entire Monty Python Catalog Headed to Netflix

From Holy Grail to the Flying Circus to deep cuts like Eric Idle’s What About Dick? will all be coming to Netflix on April 15th.

It will probably be the freewheeling, absurdist reprieve that you might like on Tax Day, so get ready to binge a bunch of silliness in a few weeks.

When Robin Williams tragically passed away earlier this year, he had already put in his work for several projects that were to be released at a later date.

One of those films was Merry Friggin’ Christmas, but it turns out, apparently, that the last role Williams took on before he passed was voicing a dog in the upcoming film “Absolutely Anything” from Monty Python’s Terry Jones.

While Orson Welles’ voice was oddly lent right before he died to the transforming planet Omicron in the animated Transformers movie, Robin Williams voicing a dog in a comedy seems much more fitting and will definitely be a thing to watch for when Absolutely Anything hits theaters.
