September 18, 2009Monty Python's last film and probably the one with all the best songs. It's a long sketch show in essence and with skits such as Mr. Creosote, it's the funniest one to date!

March 25, 2009I just don't dig Monty Python. I am not a big fan of british comedy in general. I do love Terry Gilliam though which is odd. I understand the hype over Python but this one definitely did not do it for me. I prefer The Holy Grail if I am to watch one.

September 15, 2006More of the Monty Python humour, and still ridiculously funny.
One key thing, it's for more mature audiences than you would think.
Some quotes:
"'Bit bare in here today, isn't it?'
'Yeees.'
'More apparatus please, nurse.'
'Yes doctor.'
'Yes, the EEG, the BP monitor and the AVV, please.'
'And get the machine that goes pinghhh!'
'And get the most expensive machines in case the administrator comes.'"
"'Yes, there's the head. Yes, four centimetres, five, six centimetres...'
'Lights! Amplify the ping machine. Masks up! Suction! Eyes down for a full house! Here it comes!'
'And frighten it!'
'And the rough towels!'
'Show it to the mother.'
'That's enough! Right. Sedate her, number the child. Measure it, blood type it and... isolate it.'
'OK, show's over.'"
