I enjoyed it.. some of it was hysterical.. some of it not so much! There are some really funny lines that are still used today and they definitely make me chuckle.
Many years ago a beautiful girl insisted I take her to see Life of Brian, I just did not get it, she liked it more, our romance didn't really take off, but then I watched it much later, and thought it was hilarious. It seems you have to watch it more than once to get the dry humour. So yes I really like Monty Python, but it cost me a really sweet girlfriend
I think they were brilliant.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i I think they are amazingly funny, yes some of it was stupid but some was genius, we are talking about Cambridge graduates here. They were masters who got the word satire down right.,
It was ok. Some parts were funny. But after a guy put "sit on my face" on loud as he went down on me, I have never wanted any part of it again. Lol
It was very clever and funny. I loved it. It really was British humour which is different to the US style.
Love Monty Python! Very funny. Love most British comedy, Blackadder is my favourite though!
I really thought it was funny back then... not so sure now.
*bangs coconuts together*
Want me to model my two pairs of MP pajama pants? (i find the "I fart in your general direction" quote very sexy...)
Gotta love the Python! However they do not know how to end a sketch! (Funny and annoying at the same time)
I mean it is funny to know about a parrot is a Norwegian blue and likes to / Cuts to new scene, lol
I didn't get all the humor, but then again, I still laughed because I was smoking pot!
I watched the Flying Circus on TV in my early teens; some I found funny .. like the Ministry Of Funny Walks and various other sketches .. some stuff I didnt find amusing I admit. Same goes for the films.
Now John Cleese in Fawlty Towers .. just 12 episodes I believe .. they cracked me up!
Its a Syberian Hamster .. its a rat!! lmao
What we find funny is very personal, and Monty Python will always divide opinion, as will The Goons from an earlier generation, and The Young Ones (with the late lamented Rik Mayall) from the following one. It is also an age thing, and may I say it, the humour is very British and middle class, since its origins lie in the British public schools and the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
Personally I enjoyed Monty Python at the time, particularly after a few glasses of wine, and I believe that there were some classic sketches such as the Dead Parrot sketch with John Cleese and Michael Palin. And the show did give rise to Fawlty Towers, which is a classic of British humour and wil survive the passage of time in a way that Monty Python probably won't.
Interestingly I did not find Mad magazine or Rowan and Martin's Laugh In at all funny.
Funny!
"As you can see, it is a very clean shop."
"Well, it is certainly uncontaminated by cheese"
"You must spank her well, and after you are done with her, you may deal with her as you like... and then... spank me."
I liked them but when I was stoned I loved them
In 1982 I saw Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl at the Fortway (or Fartway) theater in Brooklyn.
The Fortway had tough and unforgiving audiences. I think my wife and I were the only ones laughing at it; everyone else seemed confused by the whole thing.
That was especially true of the filmed intermission showing the Philosophy Soccer match between the Germans and the Greeks. They had no idea what the hell was going on.
Never watched it and I know I never will.
Eric Idle's "Galaxy Song" from Meaning of Life is one of he cleverer ditties in the English language. Could they fall flat? Sure. But when they scored it was genius, pure and simple.
