Not for me.
It always seemed like a series of jokes that I wasn't in on. I knew a lot of people who loved it, some genuinely and some because they thought it was cool to like it. I think you need a certain sense of humour and a don't have it  |

"Yes I am a fan but Meaning of Life should not have been made."
I don’t know, it had some really funny moments in it but it was a bit of a mash up rather than a coherent story, kinda like a feature length episode of the series.
Every sperm is sacred
Sex education scene
crimson permanent assurance
Universe song
This man is about to die
The machine that goes “ping!”
Classics all in their own right but not movie material I’d wager |

Exactly this for me too. And I felt the same about the young ones. |

Absolutely yes. Ground breaking like Spike Milligan. The material didn't always hit the mark but I'd take Python, Fawlty Towers and Ripping Yarns over any stand-up. |

"For me, Monty Python had a hit rate of maybe 30%. Some of it I found hysterical, some very clever, but the majority just left me cold. "
You did have to sit through some shit sketch’s but when I good one came along I used to howl with laughter so well worth it.
The films Holy Grail and Life of Brian where brilliant |

It definitely used to be, certainly when I was much younger, but I don’t know if the passage of time and changes in perspective have changed things or if familiarity has bred contempt but I don’t see the appeal anywhere near as much now.
Having said that, weirdly, for seemingly no reason whatsoever, yesterday I found myself singing ‘Eric the half a bee’ to myself, so I guess it’s not entirely a lost cause. |

It helped it being on tv post pub closing...
Some great stuff and also some horrendously absurd stuff. Brian was a favourite for a long time but I can't watch it all through any more.
Don't you oppress me.
You can't have babies... Where the foetus gonna gestate?
Mary Whitehouse considered it blasphemous at the time... Can you imagine how it would be received now? |

Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker
But a bugger when he's pissed.
Genius.

I swear that in sixth form, I got extra credit from my humanities teacher for being able to name multiple philosophers.
I then got even more credits when I explained I knew them all from this song  |

"Yes, and the fact that the vast majority of people who have never heard of Monty Python or watched it have unknowingly felt its influence on modern life is also very amusing. "

"Stop that, it's silly".
Love Monty Python. I watch Holy Grail and Life of Brian every couple of years and they always make me laugh. There's just something about a young Micheal Palin's cheeky face that makes me smile - you just know he's going to come out with something completely absurd any minute. The Flying Circus stuff is a bit hit and miss for me, but with more hits than misses. |
