Monty Python

[Shoden]

Anyone watch these films? I've never seen movies so funny, I have yet to watch the Life of Brian.


"you silly sod"
"I'm serious, look at the size of it's jaws, the eyes.. Look at the bones!"
"you twat"
"really"
"you manky Scottish git."

"RUN AWAY!"

lol, some of these things are absolute monstrous, what would comedy be without Monty Python? Anyways as I was saying, I really enjoyed these movies, so is anyone else fans of these films? If so discuss them.

i think ive seen part of one, somethin bout a holy grail or stuff. The Black Knight was fighting some other knight then he was fighting the king of britain or something.

I've only seen The Holy Grail, but I liked it. I really liked Spamalot, the musical of it. I just saw it a few days ago.

[DK]

Never got what all the fuss was about, really. They're not that good.

[Shoden]

Just because there's no chick flicks doesn't mean it sucks, Kyono.

[DK]

Yes obviously that is why I do not like Monty Python. I admire your skills of observation and deduction Shoden.

[Lost Number]

All I remember from them is something about some nuns and a knight running away.

Lets see,
"Brave brave sir Robin, dashing to the fray,
Brave brave sir Robin, sir robin ran away!"

or similar

[Shoden]

It's just random humour, they are pretty funny. You don't need to be so sarcastic and negative Kyono, lighten up a bit. You have to watch the movies a few times to understand them, the meaning of life was a bit hard to get, some of the stuff was err, not so funny. If you don't like it, then so be it. It's not as if it's a law. That chick flick thing was a pretty crap joke though, so err, just ignore it.

There was also "And brave sir Robin bravely turned his head and ran away" " I didn't"

I own the Holy Grail and Life of Brian on DVD, as well as Life of Brian and Meaning of Life on VHS.

I also own the entire television series on DVD.

I LOVE Monty Python. It's the perfect blend of randomness, surrealism, and satire.

[Shoden]

"Get back here, I'll bite your legs off!"
I liked the Holy Grail the best, "she turned me into a newt" "a newt?" "I got better".

Is Life of Brian any good?

[Jebus]

Very good. It's more satirical than Holy Grail, and is generally a better movie.

[DK]

I never said it wasn't funny, anyway, just not as funny as people make it out to be. The only part that made me "lol" when I was watching the Holy Grail was when Lancelot was breaking into that castle thing and John Cleese just randomly booted the bride in the chest and floored her, that made me laugh, and also his french man "I fart in your general direction" was funny, but other than that it wasn't that great. There have been way better british comedies. :\

Fawlty Towers for instance.

But in my opinion, the series is much funnier than the movies.

[Elite Lord Sigma]

I've watched Life of Brian and Holy Grail, and both are sheer comic genius.

[Spiffing Cheese]

I love Monty Python. I like Life of Brian better than Holy Grail. Like Jebus said, the series is better than the films, and Fawlty Towers is far superior to any of the Monty Python episodes/films.
