flange was a made up collective noun in this sketch which actually found its way into academic papers later on

Brilliant!

I absolutely loved NTNOCN.

My Monty Pythons.

The four of them made a great team, and some of the sketches are now legendary.

No, a "flange of gorillas" is not the correct term; a group of gorillas is correctly called a band, troop, or sometimes a whoop. "Flange of baboons" was a term invented for a comedy sketch, which later led to people mistakenly using it for gorillas

I love abstract surrealist comedy - there is a thread that runs through the Goons, Cooke and Moore, the Goodies, Python, to Bob and Vic I have always loved it

This isn't funny to most but it cracks me up - as does Biggus Dickus

I remember Stephen Fry - who'd been present when they'd settled upon the word 'flange' because it sounded slightly rude - said that he was amazed to see it in a list of collective nouns published in The Times, of all places.

Tut, tut...

Well, the evidence, 2 days on, suggests that there is never a time for it?

I like Rodney Dangerfield he's funny most of the time. Unlike most American comedians

This wasn't one of them.
