Graham Chapman Was Actually Crazy

I had no idea they'd made what was an entirely unreadable book into a surely unwatchable movie. Meanwhile, I stand by this:

 

I have the autobiographies of three members of Monty Python and they’re exactly like you’d expect: John Cleese’s is pompous and maddeningly ends right before Monty Python begins, Michael Palin’s diary is thoughtful and earnest, and Graham Chapman’s makes absolutely no sense to the point of being unreadable. 

 

Sadly, he died at only 48. His writing partner John Cleese famously said that he was didn't work right and should've been sent back to the factory to be fixed. Incredibly, Chapman's a main part of two of the greatest scenes ever: the single greatest scene of all time, and the greatest utterance of "Jesus Christ!" in human history.

 

Here's Cleese's eulogy of Chapman, during which he proudly uttered the first "fuck" live on the BBC.
