=== Jones ===

Although all of the Pythons played women, [[Terry Jones]] is renowned by the rest to be 'the best Rat-Bag woman in the business'.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} His portrayal of a middle-aged housewife was louder, shriller, and more dishevelled than that of any of the other Pythons. Examples of this are the "[[Dead Bishop]]" sketch, his role as Brian's mother Mandy in ''[[Life of Brian]]'', Mrs Linda S-C-U-M in "Mr Neutron" and the café proprietor in "[[Spam (Monty Python)|Spam]]". Also recurring was the reserved upper-class reservedstraight man men,seen in "[[Nudge, Nudge]]" and the "It's a Man's Life" sketch, and incompetent authority figures ([[Harry "Snapper" Organs]]). He also played the iconic Nude Organist that introduced all of series three. Generally, he deferred to the others as a performer, but proved himself behind the scenes, where he would eventually end up pulling most of the strings.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}} Jones also portrayed the tobacconist in the "Hungarian translation sketch" and the enormously fat and bucket-vomiting [[Mr. Creosote]] in [[Monty Python's The Meaning of Life|Meaning of Life]].
