I remember once reading an article about an Italian footballer who got banned for a match for being caught on camera uttering a blasphemous remark. I decided to comment "All he said was 'That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah!'. That shouldn't be blasphemy, just saying 'Jehovah'." The entire comments section proceeded to quote Monty Python and not bother commenting about the story itself. Ah, the lasting power of Monty Python.
I think it's a bit of a split. Some of them might be men pretending to be women pretending to men, but some of them appear to be women wearing fake beards.
Considering the budget the Python's had a to work with at times I wonder if that is a reference to their other shows and movies. They had to play a lot of the women roles cause the BBC were rather cheap. Eventually it got to the point they started making fun of it themselves.
The added mental intensity as he says it is priceless genius comedy acting!! My favourite bit as well That and the other line he has in the film "he is the Messiah, I should know I've followed a few!"😁😁
This was my first exposure to Monty Python as a kid. During an interview at Parkinson by Cleese, they showed this clip, and I laughed myself to pieces.
They are often considered intelligent people, but if that’s intelligence, I don’t want any. (“They” as in people who think Monty Python is stupid and not funny)
That is gender-blaspheming nowadays! They don't pretend, they are! They can decide to be anything they want, and nobody has the right to suppose they are not, because that could result in their tender feelings being hurt! STONE THIS WITCH!
I don't get it. Why did saying He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named result in the stoning? I don't see any problem at all with saying Jehov- *Proceeds to get stoned*
Garren, the reason why the ancient Jews stoned people to death for speaking the name Jehovah is a the it is the name of God (Psalms 83:18) and through superstition they believed (and still believe) that speaking Gods name is a deadly sin. Mainly because if they found you doing it they would kill you. Keep in mind, King James has the scripture that I mentioned as do the ancient texts that were taken out of the Dead Sea. The New King James has removes the name of God and replaced it with "Lord" as they too are superstitious. They also fear losing people to the Jehovah's Witness's. The scene proves to be funny only if you understand the significance of the name. This scene is the main reason why I like Monty Python.
I donat remember exactly but was this not from the life of Brian? Because in my opinion, and the opinion of the majority of Monty python fans, the holy grail was a much funnier movie than this one.
This is all a matter of opinion and no one is wrong, but... most of the people I know who have a passing familiarity or appreciation for Monty Python, but who aren't huge fans, like Holy Grail the most. And, by a very large margin, most of the people I know who are Python aficionados and are really, really big fans think that Life of Brian is easily a better and funnier movie. Holy Grail is great, Life of Brian is better.
