A silly little thread for Graham Chapman, because the dude deserves all the appreciation in the world and um...yeah, I just love the dude, so letâs get the show on the road 
First off, Iâd like to mention that these posts are purely things that I find to be cool about GC, meaning some of them may be for personal reasons, so I donât expect everyone to connect with everything here. Also, I shall add to this thread over time, so it will be pinned.
I will start off by posting my all-time favorite photos of GC. Obviously, there are still more and more of his photos being discovered over time, but atm, these are the ones that I absolutely adore 
Runner-ups (coincidentally all b&w, which was *not* intended

History:
The first time I saw GC was in the Argument Sketch in my geometry class when I was 14. At the time he looked like the face of 1960s England to me. Tbh, I like to think he wouldâve appreciated that the first exposure to him was when he was expertly spewing abuse.

The next time I saw GC was in the âAlways Look On The Bright Side Of Lifeâ scene of âLife of Brianâ; in AP Bio, someone would put on the clip on YT during labs so we could listen to it as we struggled to dissect dogfishes. Ngl the video made life as an AP Bio student a lot easier
At 17, I saw my first MP film (The Holy Grail) which I fell in love with. I was also absolutely astonished by GCâs acting; you could never recognize him whereas, if you saw the others, you knew who the actor was. He disappeared behind every character. Maybe it was the beard 
After my first time watching MPATHG, I decided to actually do some research about GC. His sexuality was the first thing I learnt, which I was astonished by; I didnât think someone back in the 1960s could be so open about being LGBTQ+ & it certainly made MP more diverse in my POV.
I almost forgot to mention that I also saw him in âThe Magic Christianâ back when I was 14 or 15 as well. It wasnât until recently that I learned that though but I didnât know him and, as I said, he had a tendency to disappear behind his characters for me so
The Flying Circus was in my Netflix List for awhile, but I didnât watch it bc I knew I didnât have time to enter a new fandom if I liked it. Then came COVID-19, & with it came an abundance of time. Iâd smile or forcefully exhale at first, but this Pepperpot caused my first laugh:
I mean...this Pepperpot...sheâs a masterpiece *chefâs kiss* This performance won me over in terms of who my favorite Python was, and yes, if youâre wondering, out of the entire sketch, this line was my absolute favorite :â)
I later learned that GC was, according to John Cleese, the Prince of Bad Taste. I grew up around tasteless humor & I always tried to hide or suppress it bc I care too much about what others think, so discovering this about my fav Python felt very comforting

A story I love where GC showed bad taste was an incident in his regular pub, The Angel Inn. GC had an unofficial table there, so when someone sitting there wouldnât get up, he stirred their drink with his penis. Itâs one of those stories where you shouldnât be laughing & yet
What a guy :â)
Fun Fact: It took me three weeks after first watching this sketch to figure out that Graham Chapman meant âFuck the penguinâ when he said this 
Obviously, I was not paying very close attention but I really do appreciate how he turned it into a running gag, especially in the next Pepperpot sketch #TheThesaurusIsYourBestFriend
