Monty Python: What have the Romans ever done for us?
Kenny Teeology
A one-minute clip from Monty Python's Life of Brian in which revolutionaries grudgingly list everything the Romans have done for them, from roads to clean water. It is a satirical sketch about refusing to credit a disliked group.
HN commenters quote it jokingly whenever someone lists the unacknowledged benefits of an entity people love to complain about.
