Mony Python - "One: people aren’t wearing enough hats."

Two: Terry Pratchett "Hold my beer."

Clearly as an appreciator of hats, and arguably furniture, Sir Terry was echoing Monty Python.

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say by this either.

Monty Python was deliberately absurdist humour and nonsensical. Prachett however was much more grounded and observational, with a satirical rather than fully absurdist bent, although of course sometimes he would find the absurd in the everyday.

Coming in and kicking over the furniture, to paraphrase, is a wonderful image of an idea causing chaos in the mind, it isn't Monthy Pythonesque random absurdism.
