And now for something completely different

Neal has three buttocks.

Is he a friend of Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson?:hmm:

STEED · 07-10-08, 02:06 PM

Could be............

And now a Scotsman on a horse.

A man with three buttocks

OK will all know what it is moving on, what is it about Monty Python you like?

Yes it's dated as you can see from the out door sketches but for me MP really as passes the test of time where so many others have fallen to the way side. MP still is today as funny as it ever was and puts a lot of comedy today to shame.

I have every episode on DVD. It's great!

My favorite sketch is the Ministry of Silly Walks. :rotfl:

The writing, natch. Gilliam's animations. The Cheese Shop. The characters that the guys liked to play; spivs, pepperpots, policemen. Sketches without punchlines. Sketches without endings.

ahhh

Well...where to start?

The simple humour of it all. No explanation needed. Some things are very clever, some of them are just so simple it can be. Example:

Another thing I like with the Pythons is how they turn rather grim or normal situations silly, but the people in the scene doesn't appear to think that something weird is going on.

Examples:

And ofcourse, the improvised stuff:

Indeed, that scene is mostly improvised. The guards (non Pythons, as you may notice), where told to try not to laugh, but if they would crack up, then they had to stay in character. You can see how Palin makes up the name "Incontinentia Buttocks", and you can even see him grin after saying it out loud.:rotfl:

And here is the best bit from the Holy Grail:

Don't forget the Bridge of Death and the Bunny Rabbit.

Just what is the air speed velocity of an European Barn Swallow at 3,000 feet? And what IS your favorite color?

That movie needs to reside just next to the Ten Commandments as a classic.
