    With Ginger, as the half-man, half-woman, parrot whose unnatural instincts brought forbidden love in the aviary. And Roger as Pip, the half-parrot, half-man, half-woman, three-quarter badger, ex-bigamist negro preacher, for whom banjo-playing was very difficult, and he never mastered it although he took several courses and went to banjo college... er... and everything... don't miss it!

    sorry, its slightly amusing at best... i wouldnt watch it and have tears in my eyes from laughter... i might smirk or something.
    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.

    and of course! the whole Michael Ellis episode. :D

    my favourite part being the Electric Kettles/Toupee Hall bit.

    yeah, but silliness just for the sake of being silly is a BIG part of it. :) I mean, that sketch serves no purpose, they had to get the whole crew together just for that.. and there it is.

    it's an idea someone (Michael Palin I reckon) got and they just did it. that's one of the things I really love about Monty Python.

    gotta say i haven't seen any movies (*ducks*), but
    1) i recently saw Spamalot on broadway & liked it- very funny
    2) used the song 'every sperm is sacred' for my health project on you know what! (teacher got a kick out of that! really-he actually loved it!!)

    so i guess i'll have to check the movies out!

    oh you definitely should! :) they're grand. (though like said, there are brilliant and not-so-brilliant pieces in all of them.)

    well, I now have Every Sperm Is Sacred playing in my head. :rolleyes: :p it's a funny song and the sequence in the movie (The Meaning of Life) is very well done too.

    so basically if i got me, Jamie Uk and Finsy to sit in an alleyway dressed as 3 mexican gunslingers and have us caress an anvil whilst repeating "oh sooo soft" in a differing degree of accents it would be considered silly... but not comedy unlessi got a film crew to film it.

    the clip is silly... but then so is a man wearing a suit made out of toast and shouting "pigeons pigeons, meet me for dinner at 6.30pm, Trafalgars Square"..

    it would definitely be considered silly. and yes, it would be comedy even without the film-crew. I guess.. it would make it sillier if you got a whole film crew to film it. of course, this is all my opinion and not in fact the word of God. :D

    EDIT: of course, there's a fine line of your performance turning from funny-silly to silly-as-in-crazy-and-that-didn't-even-make-me-laugh.


    also, people laugh at different things dear (as you know). I like Monty Python, you don't, it's all quite alright.
