Monty Python.

[jim_doki]

[SixAngryDwarves]

Monty Python is the best,
nevertheless,
cant believe i forgot

 

[Jamanticus]

Monty Python.

Definitely..... The wonderful thing about Monty Python was how the sketches were all silly on the surface, but had a great deal of political undercurrents underneath. Usually, zany madcap humor is shallow, but Monty Python's group of comics made it oh so interesting.


And Carol Burnett.... That was a winner, too.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Would the Mighty Boosh count? Each episode is just like a big sketch to me.

 

[rottenbutter]

Whitest Kids You Know.

Call me crazy, but other than The Holy Grail I always thought the Monty Python stuff was kinda stupid.

 

[Good morning blues]

The Pajama Men. They do live shows, and they're based in Chicago, though I've seen them twice in Vancouver. Probably the funniest live show I've ever seen.

You're crazy! but fair enough.

Can we put down funny quotes?
'cos I'm gonna do that anyway

Black Knight: None shall pass.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: None shall pass.
King Arthur: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight, but I must cross this bridge.
Black Knight: Then you shall die.
King Arthur: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
Black Knight: I move for no man.
King Arthur: So be it!
[rounds of melee, with Arthur cutting off the left arm of the black knight.]
King Arthur: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
Black Knight: Tis but a scratch.
King Arthur: A scratch?! Your arm's off!
Black Knight: No it isn't.
King Arthur: Well what's that then? [Pointing to the knight's arm lying on the ground.]
Black Knight: I've had worse.
King Arthur: You liar!
Black Knight: Come on then, you pansy! [Charges Arthur, who chops the knight's remaining arm off.]
King Arthur: Victory is mine! [kneels and starts to pray] We thank thee Lord, that in thy-- [is kicked in the head by the armless knight.]
Black Knight: Come on then!
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you! [Kicks Arthur]
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, good Sir Knight, but the fight is mine.
Black Knight: Oohh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: Just a flesh wound. [Continues to kick and taunt Arthur]
King Arthur: Stop that!
Black Knight: Chicken! Chicken!
King Arthur: Look, I'll have your leg. [Recieves a very sharp kick] Right! [Chops off one of the black knight's legs]
Black Knight: Right! I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you going to do, bleed on me?!
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: You're a looney.
Black Knight: The Black Knight always triumphs! Have at you! Come on then. [Hopping on one leg towards King Arthur]
[King Arthur chops his other leg off, leaving his body upright on the ground.]
Black Knight: Alright, we'll call it a draw.
King Arthur: Come, Patsy!
Black Knight: Oh, oh I see. Running away, eh?! You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!!

Whitest Kids You Know.

Call me crazy, but other than The Holy Grail I always thought the Monty Python stuff was kinda stupid.

Wait- you're saying Holy Grail was more intellectual than something like Life of Brian? Hmmm..... I've never known someone of that opinion before.... Ah well, I suppose different tastes translate into different perceptions....

 

[OuroborosChoked]

Derrick Comedy is good... but Kids In The Hall have a longer, richer history...

Stella was brilliant, too. Definitely worth mentioning here...

 

[OuroborosChoked]

Under whose service was the Black Knight exactly? You can't just go around calling yourself a knight, you know...

Well, I have only seen Holy Grail, Meaning of Life, and some Flying Circus stuff ,but Holy Grail was the only one that appealed to me.

Black Knight scene from Holy Grail.....

Darn you, Iron Ninja! Now I have to go and double-post......

I enjoyed that little fight scene in the film, but my favorite part was when Dennis (Palin) discusses the politics of Arthur's kingship and Excalibur... Something about "Strange women lyin' in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"

 

[jim_doki]

"Strange women lyin' in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!"

"i mean if I went around claiming I was an emperor because some Moisened bint had lobbed a scemitar at me, they'd put me away!"
