Monty Python

I was asked to start this thread cause my Python quotes were getting out of control. ;)

and I hope this thread will not die in a matter of days cause.. well, Monty Python just rules too much for something like that!!


so, who's with me? who loves the Pythons?

only the movies? only Flying Circus? both? do you quote them in real life? :D who's your favourite member? have you followed their post-Python careers? whaddya think?

so this thread is for all things pythonesque. quote them, praise them, discuss, tell us why you don't like them (I know you Python-dislikers exist!)..

Get on with it!


and FYI, I will be relenlessy bumping this thread if yous won't participate. :p

    personally I love the series. I know some people find Python humour hard to get "into" when it's in about 30 min snippets.. but there just are some sketches you can't help but love! Salad Days, Upper Class Twit of the Year, the Pet Shop, the Restaurant Sketch.. :D

    i'm not a big python fan to be honest! smart blokes acting like kids... thats a typical saturday night in an England Rugby Club bar
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    The show is brilliant. The movies were OK, but I don't think they were as good as the show (except Holy Grail, that was fantastic).
    I think my favorites are Cheese Shop, The Interview, the entire episode of The Buzz Aldrin Show, and:
    "I wouldn't become a free mason now if you got down on your lousy stinking knees and begged me!"
    "There's a dead bishop on the landing! Call The Church Police!"

    I loved it as a teenager. But, like a lot of BBC comedy, it's been repeated until it's no longer funny but profoundly irritating. I also find myself hurriedly switching off Fawlty Towers when I come across it on the box, and it shouldn't be that way because I loved that show too.

    we're old Fins :D

    i cant watch Fawlty Towers and yet i know it was brilliant... now i just find it utterly infuriating... i keep expecting a vicar to come in on the scene with his trousers down and a nun seeing him or something... its farcical.. but it was and probably still is quite funny.

    as for Python, well same thing.. we had a guy at work, I use past tense as i killed him, who used to come out with Python quotes... ok they might be funny in the context of the movie/show but when i'm trying to show you how a digital map is captured i'd rather shag a scabby monk

    yeah the show and movies are definitely not reran to death here. :D I remember watching the Holy Grail with my dad when I was quite young. and it's only recently I've discovered the Flying Circus.

    ah yes, Terry Jones, absolutely love him!! one of my favourite female charachters of his is the old lady in that quix show where she gets a blow on the head as a price. :D I forget what it's called..

    he seems like such a swell guy too. :) also, have you seen The Wind In the Willows, which Jones directed (and played the part of Toad)? I liked it alot. it's a kid's film but with somewhat Pythonesque humour. Eric Idle, John Cleese and Michael Palin are also in it.

    the movies.. well, they all have BRILLIANT stuff in them but also stuff that isn't that good. especially The Meaning of Life. I mean, stuff like the Protestant Couple are excellent.. and then stuff like the philosophical conversation in the restaurant is pretty meh.

    then again, Jones chose to leave the restaurant bit in cause it had to do with the meaning of life. (oh the things you'll learn by listening to the commentaries. :D)

    hehe. that is an excellent one. :D

    also love Death of Mary Queen of Scots and the conversation about the penguin after it.

    Second Pepperpot: Besides, if it were from the zoo, it'd have "property of the zoo" stamped on it.
    First Pepperpot: They don't stamp animals "property of the zoo"!! You couldn't stamp a huge lion!!
    Second Pepperpot: (confidently) They stamp them when they're small.
    First Pepperpot: (snapping back) What happens when they moult?
    Second Pepperpot: Lions don't moult.
    First Pepperpot: No, but penguins do. THERE! I've run rings around you logically.
    Second Pepperpot: OOOOH! INTERCOURSE THE PENGUIN!!!
