OK, I know there've been a couple of threads loosely based on Python, but you can never have too much!
If you don't like Monty Python, leave now, then jump off the nearest precipice, for you are not worthy of living. Monty Python is teh brilliant! My favourite film was The Meaning of Life. Except maybe Life Of Brian. Or Holy Grail. Certainly some of the best lines were in Holy Grail. Here they are, to show how devoted I truly am: "That's not a horse - you're just banging two halves of a coconut together!" "This is a wedding! You're not meant to bicker and argue over who killed who! This is meant to be a happy occasion!" "We already 'ave a 'Oly Grail" "Oh. Can we see it?" *Muttering* "No." "What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" "What do you mean - African or European?" "What!? I don't know that -" "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!" "How do you know so much about swallows?" "Well you have to know these things when you're a King, you know" "I am a sorcerer. Some call me... Tim!" "There is it is!" "What, behind the rabbit?" "No you fool, it IS the rabbit!" "There's a St Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh's in Cornwall, isn't there?" "That's St Ive's, you idiot." "She turned me into a newt! I got better..." "Help! Help! I'm being repressed, I'm being repressed!" "And the winter was harsh that winter. And they were forced to eat Robin's minstrels" ("Hooray!") "I can take them on single handedly!" "Oh yes! Let him take us on single-handedly!" "No, it's far too perilous." "But - " "And then, the oral sex!" "She's got huge... tracts o' land." Feel free to add more. And donate blood to the Monty Python Campaign, so that the surviving cast members will never grow old! |

I watched all of The Holy Grail the other day...I was cracking up laughing. I loved the bit with the knight who wouldn't let them pass so ended up having his arms and legs cut off. I was laughing my head off at that scene
-------------------- ~I'm missing your bed, I never sleep, avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak, and this bottle of beast is taking me home. I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets, you're not alone and you're not descreet. You make sure I know who's taking you home. I'm reading your note over again, there's not a word that I comprehend, except when you signed it "I will love you always and forever"~

I watched the Holy Grail for the first time about a week ago, and couldn't stop laughing. It was hilarious, and left me questioning why I hadn't seen the movie sooner.

"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving,
And revolving at nine-hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at ninety miles a second, So it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power, The sun and you and me, And all the stars that we can see, Are moving at a million miles a day, In an outer-spiral arm at forty-thousand miles an hour, In a galaxy we call the Milky Way..."

It wouldn't be spam spam spam spam spam spam ham and spam without it!" "Well, I don't much like spam." "You don't like spam!?!?" *Singing* "Spam spam spam spam spam..."

Must really agree with Saucy though. Flying Circus was just top notch. Ministry of Odd Walks, wasn't it called? I always forget these things  I loved that. No idea why. Sadly I've only seen a few episodes (Thank you BBC America! ) once a piece....really should borrow my mate's DVDs sometime....

I spent my lunch tuime today making Monty Python jokes with a girl in my writer's club. It's the quickest way to bond, I tell you. If you come across your long lost son, and he's afraid of you or something, if you make monty python references, well, you'll be a family quickly.

Fish slapping is good, but not as great as the demand for dead parrots, or talking slugs.

I think monty python is the greatest (second only to mata) thing to hit media. I love it so much...(and yes, I am insanly good) that I did a power point slid presentation in the holy grail theme. It even had some animation too! (yes, 163 frams just for the animation) Let me just say the class I did this for....I got an A+ on the project. And everyone one voted me most creative that year.
 Yeah....that's all I have to say."...or we shall say Ni!" "Nu!" "No, No. It's Ni." "Nu." "NIE" hehe yeah, not verbatim but close. Oh, and if you'd like to see a Hogwarts version of a monty Python tribute.... Hogwarts - The Next Generation's tribute to Monty Python --------------------  |

My best friend in primary school put me on to Monty Python and it turned out to be a good thing and i have been hooked since...i love the movies tho i haven't seen some
i LOVE 'The Holy Gail'...i laughed so hard and for so long afterwards (Arthur and the Black Knight, the Black Knight has refused to let Arthur pass and so Arthur has cut off both arms and legs) BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that! ARTHUR: You'll what? BLACK KNIGHT: Come here! ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me? BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible! ARTHUR: You're a looney! lol i love the Knights who say Ni, or rather the Knights who no longer say Ni!!
