Why I Love Monty Python

Monty Python...you stole my heart.

AND I BOUGHT YOUR DVDS.

by :56 i was like, "S**t , could this get any better!?"

I found a re-run of the weekly series on the BBC cable channel the other night and watched it with my 12 yr old son. He thought it was pretty good until the skit with the pretty young blond cashier who worked topless. After that, he laughed much harder and remarked to me that we have to find out when this show is on again... Hey, all in the name of good comedy!

Man, all these actors, directors, creators, etc. were inspired by Monty Python. Not a surprise, but The Simpsons being based on it? Wow, that's amazing! Of course, part of my humor, my LIFE has been based on Monty Python's acts.

So can I and they're amazed I know it. Eh but that's the same with Star Trek, Stargate etc. I was brought up that kind of stuff. I do the same thing, I'm even funny without knowing it lol

Lol I'm british and I'm proud of nothing, in fact I hate it here

I agree with all of the posters asking "where are all of the women?" because frankly, Monty Python influenced ALL comedy, not just male american comedy, but all comedy around the world and I can't help thinking that there must be at least one prominent female comedian who would consider MP as her inspiration and willing to talk about it... unless we're totally going against the statistics here and there just wasn't any funny ladies to to talk to.

why aren't there any women being interviewed?

I'm a girl and me an tons of my friends LOVE Monty Python!

This is another annoying thing about being a girl, guys just assume we girls don't get this and they have this boring stereotype vision of girls being silly and fun and/or dumb while guys have a sense of humour.

ok.....had to get this out of my system.

-"It's a fair cop!"

Monty Python will always be one of the greatest comedic forces in history. :)

DAVECARLDUDE WAS HERE

That was just a joke...
Listen to it while watching The Wizard of Oz, on the other hand, and you might have a more entertaining time :P

'Or you just have a problem with Americans'

American comedy, although brilliant at times, is enevitably formatted, very staged, planned, copied from previous other American comedys alot, and usually has to be americanised 100% as Americans will usually make no effort to understand another cultures point of view, python is a big exception here.

i find them to be very cerebral

Yes.

This American (female no less) thinks Monty Python is priceless comedy at its best. They are bloody brilliant!
