I believe that was actually early Benny Hill, who would have the boom mic coming into shot and tricks like that.
Monty Python definitely took fourth wall breaking to a new level, as well as general surrealness. Bear in mind, these are children of the 1940s. The surrealism that the Goons and Python brought to comedy was at a totally different level for the time. It must have been like seeing a newly released Hitchcock movie.
They are overrated, overly popular with nerds and it's desperately predictable how every American comedian over 40 cites them as an influence.
But some of the sketches still hold up. The Spanish Inquisition, Spam, as well as the Four Yorkshiremen which is an alltime classic.

I've just realized that Pat is permanently living the Four Yorkshiremen sketch.
On Twitter:
"As a woman, it's a rare event that I can go to a bar without men trying to talk to me or make excuses to touch my shoulders, hands etc."
Pat: "Luxury! If I go to a bar to work on an important novel I spend half the time fighting off women who grab me around the hands, face and groin demanding to know what I'm doing, half the time arm wrestling men who see my leather jacket and are embarrassed and humiliated, another half...." etc etc.
Patrick Oneupmanson is truly and obnoxious oik.

Imagine not being able to astral project yourself into a 1960s mindset to enjoy old comedy. Buncha whining zoomer faggots.
That movie convinced me Colin Ferrell can act. The British series veep is based on is fantastic too. In the thick of it. Sometimes a bit too British for American audiences. I had to Google a number if references in most episodes. But Malcolm Tucker is hilarious. And "he's gone Glenntal" was one not the highlights of the show
The Meaning Of Life is the best one and I used to jack it to John Cleese's naked wife as a boy.
If you like that check out the movie In the Loop. By the same people and pretty fucking funny.

British people never were funny, they ain't never going to be funny, and you're a faggot for thinking otherwise.
Oh wait, I like Garth Merenghi.
I guess IM the faggot.

Some actors playing slightly different roles though which is weird. Malcolm Tucker character didn't make the US remake which is why I never bothered with it.
Isn't that Doctor Who?
I never cared for Monty Python but then again, they influenced a lot of shit that I do like so whatever. Now Peep Show, that's where the good shit is:
