Way OT: Monty Python Fans?

" 'Blessed are the cheesemakers' ... I think he means 'blessed are the makers of all dairy products' " [on the fringes of the crowd straining to hear the Sermon on the Mount] -- Life of Brian
 
The life of Brian was essential for decoding Usenet messages once.
My favourites are the new cooker sketch, the ministry of funny walking and the black knight. With the bloody vikings a close fouth.
 
"What makes you think she is a witch?"
"Well ... she turned me into a newt!"
"A newt?"
[Pause ... people stare at him] (with a sheepish tone) " ... I got better."
 
I am a mouse - and so's my Wife. Mixed a few up there but I'm sure nobody minds. I've been eating a bit to much cheese lately - you know. Is it a burner or a buryier?


Acually you undergraduate unimaginative bastards. They do that all over the world (impersonate Monty Python's Flying Circus). Can't you think of anything else after 30 years? No ripping Yarns, no Kath & Kim, no Ross Noble. Nobody else with a silly English accent based on wholly understandable historical accidents?

What ever happened to Icelandic humor, Egyption humour, Norwegian humour (don't even try to mention Trondheim hammer dances)? Nothing from Africa make you laugh?

Actually when I worked at an internet company we use to do the cheese shop sketch as well. "We are totally out of bandwith..."

You need to understand the Australian attitude to wine. Good wine comes in bottles and costs a fortune (1000's of dollars - damn the French). Ordinary wine comes in cardboard boxes (lined in foil bags). But even that is too expensive. We drink home-made stuff. Which tastes better than ordinary box wine, feels better than bottle wine and is cheaper than the lot . Bad words to everybody.

Now as for wine in the 1960's (when MP was written) "smelling like an Aboriginee's armpit". That is racist and I reject that sort of foreign interjection. We haven't had any government sponsored racism for at least a week. Anyway it's 'poms' who have the smelly armpits.

p.s. It's hard to speak Aus. dialect in front of Americans whod' be offended.

My favorite is the one where Michael Palin is obsessed with the annual rainfall in his area and his parents eventually run away from home.

James I ow you a T. 😉

Not all of us speak english wright.
 
The John Cleese/Mike Palin bit where the French have created a passenger plane from a large sheep, as explained by two caricatured French guys in striped shirts. Especially funny is the periodic exchange of the single stick-on pencil-thin mousache between the two, and the loony mimicry involved when the Frenchmen imitate the sheep-airplane, baaa-ing the while time.
 
From the movies: The Holy Grail
King: One day lad, ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL this *shows off land outside of window* will be yours
Lad: You mean the curtains???
King: NO.. not the curtains !!

😉

And for sound recordings - yes, the Australian Table Wine sketch is hilarious.
Of the sparkling wines, the most famous is Perth Pink. This is a bottle with a message in, and the message is 'beware'. This is not a wine for drinking, this is a wine for laying down and avoiding.

"Yes, well, that's the sort of blinkered, Philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage." 😀
 
Just realized no-one has mentioned the 'Lumberjack Song'. It was recreated at the 'Concert for George' a couple years ago and remains hilarious. George absolutely loved MP.

(and the REALLY funny thing is that I was typing that as scott was typing his comment that nobody had typed that)
