Monty python's flying cir-CUS

[Grey Incision]

Anybody here a big Monty Python fan?

Just purchased Life of brian, holy grail, and now for something completely different...............they're great. Always liked them, but after i saw the Self defence class on Fruit, i now love these guys!:)

anyone else?

[badtaste]

Yeh, they are great. A very weird type of humour; it probably wouldn't tickle everybody's fancy.

Have you seen 'The Meaning of Life'. That movie cracked me up from start to finish.
And yeh, 'self defence class' is hilarious.

yeah man, that movie was hilarious!

I agree, it's a type of humour not many would appreciate, very intelligent, yet absurd.

[PianoDan]

I love Monty Python. Stupid yet very intelligent humour, as you said. Unfortunately I haven't been able to see too many of the shows, and only two of the movies (Life of Brian and Holy Grail). Have you heard the skit Four Yorkshiremen? Absolutely hilarious.

haven't heard that one....

Both of you must have heard the parrot sketch though right?

I always liked, "The Lumberjack Song". Michael Palin was probably my favorite Python, followed by Terry Jones. But, the others were necessary, and I loved the whole, rather than the sum of all the parts.

Oh yeah, another sketch I liked a lot was the "Marriage Counsellor", where Palin and his babe-of-a-wife come in to visit the counsellor(played by Eric Idle). Instead of working out their marriage woes, Idle and Palin's wife, begin "shagging" right in front of the distraught husband. With a little bit of John Cleese's 'Cowboy' speech, Palin works the nerve just enough to confront the two, but is quickly disarmed after Idle tells him to "piss off". Ahh, the humanity.

Terry Jones was great as the straight man in the sketches. He played a great target, or victim. Haha! He also played women the most, too.

Come to think of it, though, maybe I like Eric Idle just a bit more. His "Nudge-Nudge" routine and his dirty old man sketch, "Babysitter".........."I'd like a bit of pram, please. Whoa!" :lol: Ah, you have to see it. Again, Terry Jones is the straight man. And, he's great in it.

Excuse me, I came here for an argument :angry:

[Grey Incision]

Excuse me, I came here for an argument :angry:
No you didn't (love that sketch)

One of my personaly favourites is the mountaneering expedition. John Cleese is definatly my favourite Python, just the way he can look like an absolute twit and control the scene at the same time. He is amazing. His funniest moment ever though was the Hitler walk in Fawlty Towers. :chug:

[EightMilesHigh]

Another great one is the "funniest joke in the world" skit. I love how complex it gets. And when the soldier is getting interrogated, and he just reads the joke, and the Germans just fall on the ground....ah, good times:lol:

[Spectrum]

Excuse me, I came here for an argument :angry:
Best. Sketch. Ever.

...Other than, say, the Parrot Sketch. My favorites include the Spam Sketch, the Ministry of Silly Walks, Spanish Inquisition (running joke), Idiots, How Not to Be Seen, Cheese Shop, et al.

Monty Python is absolutely brilliant stuff.

[supraman_2]

Pure genius when they're together, greatest comedy troupe ever. CIA agent Teddy Salad the master of disguise almost everything they did was classic

[big80smullet]

monty python are the best. Ever

[PianoDan]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Tomahawk]

They're great.

The parrot sketch is overrated.

[supermusicman]

The meaning of life the zulu war sketch. brilliant

[MACKIE_B]

"Life of Brian", very funny, most atheist believe this to be factual

[sketchyjoe]

They have too many great sketches.

[Grey Incision]

"Life of Brian", very funny, most atheist believe this to be factual

got this at home, still waiting for a great opportunity to watch it and laugh myself to peices.

[clown_phobia]

they're hilarious!

The life of brian, holy grail, the meaning of life!

Great!

Did you guys know that Pink Floyd took time out of their recording sessions to watch them?

[Spectrum]

Yeah, I almost forgot "Holy Grail". I absolutely love that movie. A Comedy classic if ever there was one. I haven't seen it in a while, but I still remembr most of it.

I love the Witch Trial scene, where they're trying to reason whether or not she's a witch. "So, if she weighs as much as a duck, that means she floats, which means she's made of wood, which means... A WITCH!"

:D

[Spectrum]

I did not know that, although it makes sense to me. If I knew it was on TV, I'd take time out to watch it.

[Knifeboy]

"it's a type of humour not many would appreciate"

That made me laugh out loud...
I just find it funny that the worlds most famous comedians "aren't for everyone"

[Forest_Fire]

I love the argument clinic

[EightMilesHigh]

They have too many great sketches.

Ah, good point.

[Grey Incision]

"it's a type of humour not many would appreciate"

well, the world's best bands (Floyd, Beatles, Maiden and Opeth) aren't for everyone, so i guess it makes a lot of sense.

(before anyone points out that opeth shouldn't be there....................yes..............yes i am a fanboy :upset: )

[Forlorn Hope]

lol and now for something completely different is so funny... i liked the bit about the guy who invented the funniest joke in the world and died laughing...

[EightMilesHigh]

Oh yes, the one they used against the German army :lol:

I'm watching it as a i type :chug:

[BigTrav415]

Got the 14-disc box set of Monty Python's Flying circus. bitch!'
Best $150 I've ever spent. **** good stuff.

Does anyone else have it? I still haven't watched the whole thing. I thought the 'Scott of the Antarctic' sketch was pretty funny.

You can never know some of the most hilarious bits of Python untily ou'v eseen the show. Really, it' worth the $150 if you're a true fan (or you could P2P them all, whatever)

Stuff i have:
All four movies (Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, ...Completely Different)
14-disc DVD box set of Monty Python's Flying Circus
Collection of skits on CD, can't remember what it's called

What I want most of all:
To go see Spamalot (Broadway rendition of Holy Grail, supposedly as good if not better than the movie (script writte by Idle, so can't be bad :thumb: )

If that doesn't make me a Pythoniac, I don't know what does :thumb:

Think I'll go watch some more Flying Circus.

yep. that's pretty much my list

[BigTrav415]

Ministry of Silly Walks is quite possibly THE BEST SKETCH EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVERNESS

I've mastered the walk, maybe I should tape and upload it :naughty:

Well I WAIT! BACK UP!

...You mean to tell me... you get to write... about Monty Python... AND Indiana Jones... on an EXAM!

You lucky son of a bitch

Uh... my opinion.

The Holy Grail isn't really talked about specifically in the movie... in fact, it isn't. At all. God says "THIS*cue angels singing* IS THE HOLY GRAIL *shows Holy Grail* AND YOU MUST QUEST FOR IT"

Then again, they do mention it when they ask the French if their Lord would like to quest for the Holy Grail, and he says "A, he says a-no, yu see, hees ulready got one" Then King Arthur says, "He's already got one?" and then Frenchy says "Yes, its-a veerryy nice-a"

And then one of the classic lines:
The Frenchy leans over and whispers "I told 'im we already got one"
*cue fellow French snickering* :lol: :lol: :lol:
One of my favorite parts of the movie.

Oh, and about your paper, just say
"Monty Python's classic film takes the minimalistic approach towards describing the aforementioned Grail, merely showing a brief animated picture and referring to it in a caricature of French idiocy."

Or something like that. Teachers eat that **** up

yeah, that could work, thanks mate! only problem is, we have to discuss how both films meet the conventions of a quest whilst using the grail as an example. SHould give me more fodder to write about, but movies start to suck when you analyse them in english, and i don't want to wreck this film, haha.

[JAStewart]

I love Monty Python. Certainly the best comedy we've managed to squeeze out of Britian.

John Cleese is the best.

[Mardy]

one of my favourites are the sponges from outer space who make all british turn into scotsmen so they can win wimbledon

I read that several times then stabbed myself in the eye.

[SomethingfromHolland]

Monty Python is brilliant. My favourites remains the Holy Grail
Especially the french guy, insulting king Arthur with: Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elleberries... I fart in your general direction... and insults like that.
And of course the knights who say: NI!
I've been walking around for a couple of weeks saying nothing else then NI! NI! NI!.

And the fabulous songs of course, like "The Lumberjack Song" or "Always Look at the Bright Side of Life" (sung at the end of Life of Brian, when Brian hangs on the cross)

Ok I probably took the noob thing a bit too far. I actually kind of hurt inside after doing that. Please forgive me, I'm really not like that, I promise :)
