The
game Worms, particularly Worms 2, owes a great deal to the
English comedy Monty Python.
For instance, the
holy hand grenade weapon is used upon the killer
white rabbit of caerbannog in
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as is the phrase "
run away!" (uttered by worms about to get
blown to smithereens).
The various
captions when a worm
dies, such as "Frank is an ex-worm", seem to be references to the famous
dead parrot sketch from
Monty Python's Flying Circus.
If anyone finds any other references, please,
/msg me.
hamster bong in his/her wisdom has pointed out to me that only one of the various voices available does the Monty Python-esque "Run away!" when about to be exploded. I think it's the default voice, though.
