Gift guide: Comedy

The Complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus Collector’s Edition (A&E Home Video, $160) Rabbit with Big Pointy Teeth Slippers (Toy Vault, $35) If the rabid Flying Circus fan in your life still doesn’t have a box set, give him this new 21-disc bookend, which features loads of sundry extras, including two new documentaries. And if he’s already snagged all Python-related media, these slippers—which flap (i.e., attack) when you walk—will take his head off. (thinkgeek.com)
