to move up and down
Here’s a great video of a young, groovy Terry Gilliam explaining how he made one of his classic animated segments for Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Just watching him describe his process makes me laugh. The amount of painstaking effort each of his animated segments must have taken boggles my mind. Also of note, I used to think his particular way of speaking was a result of years of living in England, but watching this, it seems as if that’s how he’s always talked.

Many more images at her site, most a lot creepier and some semi-NSFW.
In the spirit of the season, here’s a Post-It monster drawing by Danish animator John Kenn Mortensen.
There are so many incredible monster drawings at his blog, I had a hard time picking just one to post. Click here to see many, many more.
From a hilarious series of photos taken by East German secret police for a course called “the art of disguising”. Great disguise.
See the rest and read about the exhibition these are currently being shown at here.

The description of the video says it all:

I want this dog as my copilot.
Groucho Marx - Capt Spalding’s Adventures in Africa (via moochcassidy202)
From the 1930 Marx Brothers’ film Animal Crackers. Groucho’s entire monologue is brilliant, but my favorite joke comes around 2:00 in when he’s talking about removing an elephant’s tusks.
This is my favorite Mr. Show sketch by a wide margin.
You are just the mother of all whores!
Seriously, no difference between this sketch and you fuckers who feel like you have the right to tell other people what to do with their lives.
