Monty Python-Funny or Not? (Young Frenkensteeen)
When I was a lot younger and they were new they were pretty funny, now I don't get much out of them.
I love the Ministry of Silly Walks sketch. (See, I'm a big enough Python fan to know exactly what sketch you're referring to, RA. :-) ) I will admit that some skits just don't do anything for me but for the most part I love Python. In fact, I just got the complete series for myself at Best Buy for $39.99! And I have the next week and a half off to go through it. Yay me!But even more than the sketches I love the songs. I can be frequently heard walking through my office building singing The Lumberjack Song. But "Sit on My Face" is my favorite.
I love Python, but haven't watched any in years.
i may have to delete my account from goodreads after this thread.
THIS is the one that makes you delete your account? You have no problem with people talking about you being naked in a bathtub with a fruit hat, but the Python haters send you to the door?
Ok, Kevin doing silly walks naked but for a fruit hat, now I'd laugh at that...where's the video camera?
is Monty Python funny? what part of "BRING OUT YOUR DEAD" is NOT funny?not every bit is funniest ever but all is so funny in an absurd way. ok? you guys need to check your testosterone levels. chicks think python is not funny. chicks don't get the stooges. chicks don't think Raymond is funny. put on some trousers fella's
:)
Kevin said "chicks think python is not funny."gets popcorn, sits to watch the fallout
I get the Stooges! Iggy rocked in those days. Heh.
I like Python, SF, and comic books. I also haul my own amps.
I'm guessing I'm one of them exceptions to the rule.

my daily controversial statement....
should have said "most chicks don't get python OR spinal tap"
I love Spinal Tap too. I don't like American football, pro wrestling, hunting, or car racing. Does that help?
ALso hardware stores. I hate hardware stores.
But there are so many neat things in hardware stores that you can make into other things entirely different from their original purpose. Which only makes them cooler...heh, I forgot to comment on topic...I love the movies, but I don't always like the sketches and some of the songs make me cringe. Mostly because I dislike sexual euphemisms.
I ♥ Monty Python! When I was in high school, we'd all get together at a friend's house (about 20 of us) late afternoon on a Friday and watch the movie while deciding while coming to a consensus of where to go and what to do. It was my introduction to Monty Python humor.
When I was in college, I took a course - New Testament Survey - 30 percent of our grade was watching The Life of Brian and writing a comparison to what we'd learned in class about that time period about the social climate. It was the easiest assignment ever, and half of the grade for that assignment was just attendance during the movie - and people STILL skipped class!
We got to watch The Holy Grail for a class once in high school; I think we had all seen it a hundred times by then, but we appreciated the effort. The teacher used it to demonstrate how grimy the middle ages actually were, as opposed to the scrubbed-shiny knights and princesses in other portrayals.

But in general, I'd rather watch something else.

you guys need to check your testosterone levels. chicks think python is not funny.WTF? Here's a chick who owns every Python film and can recite all of them from memory. Spinal Tap remains a favorite as well. Gender blanket statement FAIL!
Monty Python is funny. The "Dead Parrot" sketch is FUNNY..."He's probably pinin' for the fjords."
And I love Spinal Tap. So there!
Sally wrote: "Is it kind of like being yelled at for hours, Kevin?"yup. exactly what it is like (although easier to tune out)
and natalie - yup. admitted that already. what was intended to be a good nature dig at guys ended up causing the ladies (re: chicks)to come up for air. do you do the pull the finger thing too?
Both Monty Python and Spinal Tap are eleven in a scale of 1-10 for being funny.
I always look at the bright side of life. :D
whenever my son performs with his band somewhere i ask if they are going to have a tiny stonehenge model on the stage with them
"What's wrong with sexy?"
I didn't come here for an argument!

He hasn't got shit all over him.
Yes, it was lovely, wasn't it? Christopher Guest and the rest of them really are good musicians.
The Sureflow song was the best in A Mighty Wind.
I love her."If you don't let me gut out this house and make it my home I will go crazy AND TAKE YOU WITH ME!"
As any comedian or comedic group sometimes they miss. But, when they do hit it, it's out of the park./Blessed are the cheesemakers.
"He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? Her name is Incontinentia. Incontinentia......Buttocks!"That bit kills me no matter how many times I see it.
Best in Show is one of my personal favorites.
I feel happy!
STWIKE HIM, CENTUWION! STWIKE HIM VEWY WUFFLY! (That was my myspace headline for yeeears. :)!)
My husband and I do the "Throw him to the floor, sir?" "Oh, yes, thwow him to the floow"! routine whenever one of the cats gets up to unacceptable fuckery.
I mean, I think they're ok, and I liked Life of Brian, but there are times when I'm like...
"Ok...he's walking funny. Is that it? That's the whole joke? He's just gonna walk silly? And I'm supposed to pee my pants in laughter? Ok, look he's doing another silly walk. My kids do silly walks sometimes, too. I guess it's mildly amusing, but I'm not going to fall over laughing or anything."
So I think Monty Python is ok but not great.
You?
