A Monty Python Christmas

"The Meaning of Life" is an uneven movie, to be sure, but that sequence stands out big time.

Hmmm... The Walkman has been replaced by the iPod, whilst Jaws 1-3 have been replaced by Jurassic Park 1-3. Other than that the song is remarkably spot-on after almost 30 years. (Well, maybe The Sound of Music doesn't get as much airplay as it once did, but I did find it on a few stations.) Damn, if that song doesn't make me miss Graham Chapman...

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it

@get laid - while inaccurate in this case, that's a very funny line.

" ... Someday I intend reading it." -- Groucho Marx, to S J Perelman about his book Dawn Ginsbergh’s Revenge (1929), as quoted in LIFE (9 February 1962).

Yes, it's a familiar quote. To some of us as familiar as "Ask not..." or "Fourscore and seven ...." or "To be, or not to be...."

But I still think Groucho should get credit. "It's the price you have to pay." -- Rufus T. Firefly to Mrs. Teasdale, in "Duck Soup."

Poor Santa. Muhahahahah!

They Don't Write Comedy Like The Monty Python Team Used To Anymore.

And John Cleese Is One Funny Man, Even In Real Life.

Holly Crap I forgot how funny the Monty Pyphon team were, the best of British comedy and the people who started real comedy, great video thanx for posting.

The dead parrot sketch is one of the funniest scenes the monty pyphon ever did, and the life of Brian was the best film they did, very funny guys.
