Monty Python
 

I can only see ShankS' avatars so many times before i have to talk about them....


Monty Python is probably the greatest export from England ever. All 3 of their movies are classics.

The show was awesome.

The remaining members have had full carreers since....

okay, what are the best characters and sketches?


I have always thought Mr Creosote was um... unique....

Re: Monty Python
 

all 3 movies ?

I guess 'and now for something completely different' wasnt like a movie - but it was theatrically released


damn its hard to pick a favorite

Dinsdale !

maybe the Mice Sketch ...

I don't get british comedy.

I always like the Brain Hurts sketch....goes with my avatar as well

T. F. Gumby - Doctor! Doctor! DOCTOR! DOCTOR! Doctor! Doctor! Where is The Doctor?

Gumby specialist - Hello!

T. F. Gumby - Are you the brain specialist?

Gumby specialist - Hello!

T. F. Gumby - Are you the brain specialist?

Gumby specialist - No, no, I am not the brain specialist. No, no, I am not...Yes. Yes I am.

T. F. Gumby - My brain hurts!

Silly walks was another great one.

And who could forget the Dead Parrot sketch.

Albatross!

If i had to pick my single most favorite character, i couldnt pick just one. It would have to be The Frenchman from The Holy Grail, and Sir Lancelot.

John Cleese kicks ass :)



"I'm sorry... Is he hurt?"
"Is he hurt?!?! You stuck your sword through his head!"

John Cleese is the funniest man alive....period.

I loved the dead parrot sketch, but i was witness to too many high school variety shows that thought they would cement their place in comedy history by recreating it again, and again, and again, and again.....



i always loved the group photo sketch where everyone is inadvertantly killed.

And who can forget the Classic Spam sketch?

Or the Lumberjack song :)

we've been watching the Fawlty Towers boxset ..

he was at his bestin that one ...
but the whole cast was brilliant ..

it's superb :)

the guy who played manuel was easily the best supporting actor of all time

Mrs. Richards: I've booked a room with a bath and a sea view for three nights. I specifically asked for a sea view in my written confirmation, so please make sure I have it.
Manuel: Qué?
Mrs. Richards: What?
Manuel: Qué?
Mrs. Richards: K?
Manuel: Sí.
Mrs. Richards: KC? KC? What are you trying to say?
Manuel: No, no no no. Qué, "what."
Mrs. Richards: K. Watt?
Manuel: Sí: qué, "what."
Mrs. Richards: C.K. Watt?
Manuel: Yes.
Mrs. Richards: Who is this C.K. Watt?
Manuel: Qué?
Mrs. Richards: Is he the manager?
Manuel: Oh, Manajer.
Mrs. Richards: He is.
Manuel: Ah, Mr. Fawlty.
Mrs. Richards: Oh, what are you talking about, you silly little man?
[to Polly]
Mrs. Richards: Girl, I start to ask this man about my room, and he tells me the manager is a Mr. Watt, aged forty.
Manuel: No, no no. "Fawwl-ty."
Mrs. Richards: Faulty? What's wrong with him?

yeah, I like the way his 'English' progresses through the series, the first episode he aint got a clue, Basil goes mad when he can't get through to him.

I love the "Constitutional Peasent" from Holy Grail. To me that is histerical.

And of course, "Tim the Sorcerer."

"For death awaits ye, with nasty big pointy teeth!"

"Your Mother was a Hamster and your Father smelt of elderberries!"

Favorite Holy Grail Character: The Black Knight

Favorite MP movie: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Favorite Sketch: This is difficult at best! The ones that come to my mind first are;
The Lumberjack song and The Dead Parrot sketch.




:D :D

I'll up the ante on the Monty Python discussion . . .

Holy Grail or Life of Brian?

I like the Holy grail more, both are funny as hell though:D .

I'll bite your legs off!

More into Friends style sitcoms?? :p

I got a plush toy of the black night and his limbs come off. And another plush toy of the killer bunny. Fuck, now i wanna watch it.

I agree, John Cleese is the funniest man alive!

nobody expects...

Half a Denari?! My bloody life's story!

There's no pleasing some people.....


That's just what Jesus said, sir!

Brian, without a doubt in my eyes.....true comic masterpiece that'll never be bettered.

you lucky bastard !!!

(after surviving the UFO crash)

Life of brian was definately the most insightful of all of them, with the most political commentary.

The Holy Grail was just silly fucking funny

I want to face the peril !

Classic seen from the Holy Grail.

UCB is the best comedy of all time

but Monty Python and Kids in the hall are a close second

I saw The life of Brian when i was 9 and from there i was/am a huge fan. The Meaning of Life is ok, i could have done without the fat dude barfing everywhere, but hey.

Oh and Faulty Towers is a close second lol

I think my favorite was the luberjack barber too. The Bishop had some funny parts to it too. The Life of Brian and The Holy Grail were my favorite movies. I can't pick just 1 out of those 2.

I actually thought the Upright Citizen's Brigade did more of "Maybe if we make this REALLLY whacky, it'll be funny..."


They had balls, but were not nearly as funny as they thought they were.

However, the people from UCB have gone on to do some really hilarious shit.

I disagree. I think UCB was there best stuff.

I wouldn't say it was whacky but REALLY weird.

Monty Python was semi-dry but really silly. I think they're great. They get all the credit they deserve

UCB is overrated, unknown, and it shouldn't be that way.
