And now for something completely different.
Exalted Funeral Monty Python's Cocurricular Mediaeval Reenactment Programme RPG
This 340 page guide has everything you need to play all your favorite Monty Python characters.
From the Prologue:
So you and your friends have decided to ride through King Arthur's England on coconuts. It's going to be fun. In fact, if it isn't fun, change the rules. The Key to enjoying Monty Python is that nothing is sacred, not even printed rules to a game. Assuming, however, that you want to give these rules a try, here are some things to keep in mind:
The Monty Python troupe knows a lot about medieval history.
When the world is absurd, the rules can change.
The dice rolls exist to create a bit or randomness - salt and pepper to taste.

From the back cover:
At last! Renowned educational pioneers Monty Python place their pedagogical, pediformical stamp on a hobby long bereft of historical accuracy and educational value.

- A rules-lite system for quick adoption by even the densest of would-be Participants
- 60 Notable Historical Figures, Creatures, Monstrosities, and Beasts for your slaying pleasure
- 10 Character Types

From the Web Site:
This is a fully licensed educational programme for serious students of History.
It is by no means a comprehensive manual for running imaginative, Mediaeval-themed role-playing games lovingly ripped off from the works of Monty Python.
About the book:
Betwixt these firm yet supple covers, one shall find everything one needs to experience the joy of Mediaeval study, from character creation and factions to ready-to-run quests and monsters – including the French! One need not be familiar with Monty Python’s work, nor is experience with ‘role-playing games’ required. If you have experience with the latter, you are probably too silly a person to participate and should stop reading immediately.
