also, people laugh at different things dear (as you know). I like Monty Python, you don't, it's all quite alright.
yes i know its alright... i just felt compelled to give my opinion on them... isnt that the point of a message board? to offer opinions?
p.s. talentless posh idiots
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.
You could kill someone with the DVD set if you threw it at them.
good idea... lets throw it at the remaining members of Python!
ok maybe not Palin as i like his travel shows that he does!

Well, what's wrong with smirkin? :rolleyes:
And come on, this is 40 years ago...lighten up man.
40 years ago? it looks it.
Chaplin was better and he doesnt use the old 40 years ago escape clause.
i quite like some parts of the movies... but the fish clip isnt comedy genius... and its all opinion... but i think some people like Python cos they feel they have to... mostly students i have to say... a bit like people who like Devendra Benhart or whatever he's called just because Mojo gave his album 4 stars or whatever.

hey, though shalt not judge dude...I'm not getting into a squabble over what's comedy genius and what isn't, I'm far too busy..I've still got 14 episodes of the Benny Hill show on dvd to get through today.

its my opinion that they are vastly over-rated... just as its other people's opinions that Blackadder was vastly over-rated.. mental people obviously... but its all good

I liked Blackadder, Stephen Fry is the top man in those series.
Monty Python, over rated? maybe. But I've never really considered it, I like em and that's all that counts for me. I also like Derek & Clive, Spike Milligan, Peter Kay, and Eddie Izzard...but I think the Mighty Boosh and Little Britain is crap.
good idea... lets throw it at the remaining members of Python!
ok maybe not Palin as i like his travel shows that he does!
now that was quite unnecessary! :eek: not to mention immensely mean-spirited! why should you abuse people for having done one bit of television you don't like?
bastard.
I'd love to see some of Palin's travel shows actually. and I'd love to read the books he's written. and the ones Jones has written.
btw. have you seen A Fish Called Wanda? I think that's a good enough movie to save mr. Cleese from being hit with a Monty Python boxset. and Jones is smart, you like smart people, don't you? so let's not throw one at him either.
and Gilliam.. well.. he's American.. hmm. but he's a good director so should also be spared.
go and throw them sets at some pigeons or something, eh?

smirkin is bad for your health, that's why it's been banned in pubs...
Oh yeah? Well, I've had about enough of morons and halfwits, dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells - and you chowderhead yokel, you blithering hayseed, you - you've had enough of me?
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
Mr. Praline: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
Owner: We're closin' for lunch.
Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
Owner: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
Mr. Praline: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
Owner: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
Mr. Praline: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
Owner: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
Mr. Praline: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up! (shouting at the cage) 'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...
(owner hits the cage)
Owner: There, he moved!
Mr. Praline: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
Owner: I never!!
Mr. Praline: Yes, you did!
Owner: I never, never did anything...
Mr. Praline: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
Mr. Praline: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Owner: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
Mr. Praline: STUNNED?!?
Owner: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
Mr. Praline: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
Owner: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
Mr. Praline: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
Owner: The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
Mr. Praline: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
Owner: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
Owner: No no! 'E's pining!
Mr. Praline: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX- PARROT!!
(pause)
Owner: Well, I'd better replace it, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
Mr. Praline: I see. I see, I get the picture.
Owner: I got a slug.
(pause)
Mr. Praline: Pray, does it talk?
Owner: Nnnnot really.
Mr. Praline: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Owner: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)
Mr. Praline: Well.
(pause)
Owner: (quietly) D'you.... d'you want to come back to my place?
Mr. Praline: (looks around) Yeah, all right, sure.
Mr. Praline: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
I love that line.
"Don't be faint-hearted, I have a solution! We shall go and commandeer some small craft, then drift at leisure until we happen upon another ideal place for our waterside supper with riparian entertainments."
In Chicago in the 70’s Monty Python episodes were shown late Sunday night on Public TV. As a teenager it was forbidden fruit. Their absurd humor, silly walks, naughty bits, crazy animation and blood gushing from severed limbs will remain fondly with me forever.
Caught the debut of Spam-a-lot here a couple years back and nothing beats a catapulted cow live on stage. With Python I guess you’re either in or out. No in-between. Now if only John Cleese would just keep his cloths on in movies…

I was watching the Hollywood Bowl DVD last night and I must say some sketches like Silly Walks, which I love in the series, just didn't do it for me.
hahaha. but he likes taking his clothes off! so I guess it should be allowed. he doesn't look that bad in Wanda but other than that.. :eek:

now I'm finally a proud owner of all four seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus. I'd already forgotten how funny with Inspector Dim and the professional Cardinal Richelieu (sp?) was.
