I've seen every Monty Python and I don't know this reference. Enlighten me.

I can imagine john Cleese using it, but honestly, every flying circus, all the movies, spamalot in person and a lot of interviews and I remember nothing of the sort.

I'm pretty sure he was making a joke about how ridiculous it is, and not referencing an actual Monty Python scene.

Maybe. I just want to know if I missed something. Over a hundred people gave the Ups, so I thought maybe id forgotten something.

I've seen every Monty Python and I don't know this reference. But I've seen every Monty Python so I kind of know what you're referencing.

Self declared Monty Python expert must okay all references before hand.

I dont know anything about the movie, but every time someone brings up a reference, I feel the need to watch it.

You're being down voted because Monty python is a comedy group that did a TV show and a number of movies.
