Looking to escape the Pokémon Go craze? Well Skype is now offering some light relief in the form of Monty Python Mojis on Skype.
Mojis are short, shareable clips that users can insert into Skype chats, with Skype offering 37 iconic Monty Python moments from Life of Brian, Holy Grail and Flying Circus. Users will be able to drop in iconic comedy clips to conversations in order to add colour and humour, or indeed to express a pertinent point.
Although CBR approached this story with some scepticism, checking it was indeed not April 1, Skype drafted in Michael Palin to comment on the new partnership.
“We welcome Moji Python’s magic moments. It’s easy to forget how gown-breaking and auspicious Monty Python was and how well, millions of years later, these ice-cream culinary moments stand up. Unlike most of the team. Please help us. Thank you.”
Skype is rolling out the new Monty Python Mojis today and will soon appear in users’ emoticon pickers. Skype is asking users to recommend their favourite Python moments on social media using #PythonMojis.
