'''''How to Irritate People''''' is a 1968 British [[mockumentary]] [[sketch comedy]] television special recorded in the UK at [[LWT]] on 14 November 1968<ref>Pixley, Andrew: ''Monty Python's Flying Circus - Series 1 Viewing Notes'', p.27, Network, 2019</ref> and written by [[John Cleese]], [[Graham Chapman]], [[Marty Feldman]] and [[Tim Brooke-Taylor]]. Cleese, Chapman, and Brooke-Taylor also feature in it, along with future [[Monty Python]] collaborators [[Michael Palin]] and [[Connie Booth]].

In various sketches, Cleese demonstrates exactly what the title suggests—how to irritate people, although this is done in a much more conventional way than the absurdity and [[surrealism]] of similar Monty Python sketches.
