Yes, typical, typical. Give the public all the amazing comedic material they could want and what do they do? They jump straight for the page with "FREE" plastered all over it. Well FINE, suit yourself. But don't come crawling back to me when finally, I hope all is well with Mimsy and Dad, Fluffy is doing fine and the doctors say she should be back on her feet in... I'm sorry, I don't know why I said that. Enjoy the Free Stuff.


Free Stuff!

Yes, that's right, nothing in this entire site has to be paid for. That's the glory of the Web. Every page here is stuffed with great pictures and downloads. But this page contains the really good stuff, the stuff to download first. Enjoy.

Monty Pycons: Monty Python Windows Icons
New for 2004! The Amazing Monty Pycon Collection Volume Five

Icons!Windows - 3.1/95/98/2000/NT/Me/XP - compatible.

download the full set: Monty Pycons Volume 5 (.zip file)

Look at a preview of the hi-color icons.

Look at a preview of the 16 color icons.

These could possibly be the funkiest monty python fun you could fit into 32x32 pixels. Windows icons, cursors... even animated cursors! And with volume 5, we have nearly 200 hi-color icons, including ones previously unseen, and the usual gazillion 16 color icons.

Icons from all the shows and films - Monty Python's Flying Circus, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, The Meaning of Life, And Now For Something Completely Icons Different, plus all kinds of whacky Terry Gilliam cartoons from all over the place, Carol Cleveland, Neil Innes, icons from miscellaneous Python works, A Fish Called Wanda, Rutland Weekend Television, The Rutles, the films of Terry Gilliam, Fawlty Towers ... Even a cameo by Eric Idle as a Transformer somehow got in there! We've also got a neat little set of shell replacements that can turn your entire Windows system into a Python machine. And let's not forget the cursors to turn your mouse pointer into a penguin, and the very cool wait animations to change that spinning hourglass into the opening sequence to Monty Python's Flying Circus!

It's an insane amount of icons - Anyone who would want more is certifiably crazy. We've got everything but the sexy advertising campaign. Who on earth is responsible for such a phenomenal waste of time? Linus the Llama (hi-color icons) and our own Garrett Gilchrist (animations, cursors, 16 color icons).

Okay, now how can I get my hands on these little goodies?

Desktop Themes

The Monty Pytheme is a spiffy Python desktop theme for Windows 95, featuring icons, sounds, wallpaper and more! Download it, check the README for how to install it, and be in Python heaven. Co-created with Linus the Llama, who has also made his own theme, Sometheme Completely Different. Linus has also made a screensaver, Monty Python's Floating Screensaver. Special thanks to Mark Gumby and 7th Level.


Screensavers (Windows)



Windows users, dig it! We've got screen savers for Windows 95, Win-G mode. Python-related ones, even. We started a few video games on the same program too, but never got them down small and finished enough to post. The screen savers, though, are spiff. Download at will: Black Beast of Aaaargh-Saver, Know Your Pythons Saver, Terry Gilliam's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Saver, Neil Innes Sings! Saver. Hope you like. Then there's Brazil: The Game, based on the Terry Gilliam film, and there's also the matter of a 5-megabyte video game based on Douglas Adams' The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy which I was unable to complete due to legal threats, but I doubt you'd be interested in that ... nor would you be interested in our not-yet-finished game based on Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell's movie Army of Darkness, because it isn't Python. Right? Non-Python screensavers include The Thief and the Cobbler and Mark Hamill in Slipstream.


Our Monty Python MIDI Collection will treat your ears to synthesized versions of some of your favorite Python tunes in MID format. Cheers to Steve Hull (STHMID@aol.com) and Jason Linett (SASEizME@aol.com) for creating most of these. Let's give 'em a hand! Enclosed are:
