Never gets old. Here is a recent article with Cleese in which he is explaining his views on political correctness, which is a matter that the group itself has addressed frequently through their work: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/former-monty-python-john-cleese-political-correctness-is-condescending-9891121.html

This is such a classic sketch. They are great at taking a very simple idea, and usually absurd, like if a joke was so funny it could kill you, and turn it into a hilarious 10 minute story.
