And Now for Something Completely Different

[frigo]

I was wondering... does anybody here loves Monty Python as I do?
Who else here thinks that they're genious?

"I won't buy this record, it is scratched...", one of my favourites.... 

Get on with it!

I like 'The Meaning of Life'.  They're a bit weird a lot of the time (not that that's a bad thing).  They're way better than most old British comedy (before the '90s).  A lot of it just... isn't funny.

I sure love them

Nudge Nudge is very funny... But almost everything is, I think. Of the movies, I like Holy Grail most.

i love them too. I recently bought the complete fry and laurie... that's very funny too...
Also a fan of blackadder, black books, IT crowd, Mitchell and Webb...
I don't see what people complain about comedy becoming either vulgarised (if thats a word) or less sophisticated. If anything (at least in the UK), it's funnier than ever, and I'm sure that's not just my opinion. I mean, 50 years ago a program like QI or HIGNFY wouldn't have got a laugh at all, and my grandparents struggle to see the funny side of scenario-based comedies - that's about half the comedy there is nowadays!
although I do find some of the old stuff very amusing... such as Dudley Moore and the gang, victor borge etc.

All great.     

Peep Show (unless you're counting this as Mitchell and Web?) & Father Ted too.

I love Monty Python too

Shame not many other people find it funny. There's a definitely trend towards crude humour over in North America. And you could say Monty Python gets crude at points. But there's also those spectacularly witty moments that you just miss out on sometimes.

Like the many in Life of Brian.

Such as the whole deal with the "People's Front of Judea" and the "Judean People's Front". It wouldn't be half as funny if you didn't understand the political satire behind it

I still think of Oliver Cromwell when I hear the A flat polonaise.
