Even after dozens of views, Monty Python is still hilarious. Which is your favourite film?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 07:30 pm (UTC)I love Holy Grail, but I have to say I love Life of Brian the most. It's the - 'He's a very naughty boy' - Makes me hysterical everytime. I know it's hugely insulting to many a Catholic but still...It's stupidly hilarious. You?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 07:45 pm (UTC)Ooh I'm the same I think. I really love all of the Python films but Life of Brian is the most quoteable and just plain ridiculous. I especially like The People's Front of Judea and their hatred for The Judean People's Front XD

Date: 2010-06-27 07:52 pm (UTC)"What have the Romans ever done for us?" They were genious. I loved the Flying Circus too. The parrot clip? I'll youtube link you if you haven't seen it. John Cleese at his best.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 07:58 pm (UTC)Oh and "I want to be a woman. I want to have babies." that whole bit... bahaha. I want to go and watch all the Python films now. You've reminded me how great they are XD
Ahaha and the parrot sketch... oh it's all coming back. John Cleese really is a genious. Did/do you like Fawlty Towers?
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 08:04 pm (UTC)I LOVED Faulty Towers. My Dad was a huge fan of it and he got me interested when I was little, and for years I thought it was an actual place and wanted to go stay. The Moose Head Episode? Perfection!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 08:11 pm (UTC)Fawlty Towers exists doesn't it? I mean, obviously it's not called that, but the hotel/building would, yeah? Or is it just a big set? I'd be so disappointed if it was.
Yes! Moose head is great! As is the "don't mention the war" episode, and the one where Basil puts a bet on that horse and the cranky deaf lady comes to stay. Oh so many good memories... Fawlty Towers and Blackadder are probably the greatest TV shows ever created IMO (please tell me you've seen Blackadder. Definitely the best things Rowan Atkinson and Hugh Laurie have done).
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 08:18 pm (UTC)I have no idea! I would assume it's a building? It looked like on in the opening credits XD. BlackAdder? Hugh Laurie, Rowen Atkinson and Stephen Fry? YES! Love it. BlackAdder, Faulty Towers, Monty Python are just so deliciously british I can't help but love them. And I adore you for loving them too! XD

Date: 2010-06-27 08:24 pm (UTC)Yaaaay! That's the trifecta of amazing British comedy right there. Which was your favourite Blackadder series? If you say the one I'm secertly hoping you'll say, I think I'll have to confess my undying love for you ( or at least your fantastic taste in television...in a totally non-creepy way, of course). So few people in this country appreciate good comedy.

Date: 2010-06-27 08:32 pm (UTC)I think the problem is that most other countries find British humour a bit weird. America especially. I have no idea why. Ever heard of Alan Davies? He's a good friend of all the guys from Python/BlackAdder. He did the series called Jonathon Creek. Which was FANTASTIC. If a bit creepy now and again.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-27 08:38 pm (UTC)Yeah true. Australian comedy is generally pretty bad (as is most American comedy in my opinion, but of course there are some exceptions) but the Brits seem to get it right most of the time. Coupling is a good recent example.
Ooh yes I have seen Jonathon Creek, but didn't know Alan Davies was behind it!
Ok I have to go to bed (should have gone to bed several hours ago actually... oops) but I'll get my hands on Jurrassic Park Three in the morning and return with plenty of rants and raves about raptors... talking raptors... the best kind (even better if they've got a gun). Expectations have gone through the roof.
Nice chatting to you =) If there's any other awesome British comedy I'm missing out on, do let me know, I'll be eternally grateful. Nighty night.

Date: 2010-06-27 08:44 pm (UTC)It's been lovely to chat to you too! I'll be waiting for a Jurassic Park Three Rant. I just pray It does live up to the hype I created. If nothing else watch up until the little talking raptor dream. I'll think of some British comedies in return for making you watch Jurassic Park 3 XD. I aleady have one in mind . NIGHT!
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 08:29 am (UTC)Major lol at Jurassic Park III! Definitely worse than the second. It's like they just wanted an excuse to put dinosaurs on an island again and have them chase pathetic little people around. Ohh... wow... an hour and a half well spent. I'm so glad you convinced me to watch it, my life is better for it =D
In Australia, Sam Neill is the spokesperson for red meat. He's done all these TV commercials where he tells us how great red meat is (in a really creepy voice, I might add) and then at the end of the ads he does all these really ridiculous dances (seriously, it's worth watching just for the three seconds of dancing): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9SuABGeeb8
Anyway, those ads kept popping into my head while watching JPIII XD
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 12:35 pm (UTC)That Ad completely made my day. FIrst because I don't understand why Red Meat has an advert campaign, it's meat. It confuses me XD. And that Dancing is everything I want to see in life, more so because I have been known to dance the same way on a rare night out, haha.
I meant to mention Black Books to you last night. It's an oddly funny dark comedy. An alcoholic owns a book store and he hates people. It sounds wierd but it consumed most of my life for about three months XD
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 12:47 pm (UTC)I think we've all done the "Sam Neill Dance" one time or another XD I blame peer pressure and alcohol.
Omg how could I forget Black Books!? I love the one where they get the new security system and Bernard gets locked out for the night. And the one where Bernard and Manny write the children's book. Oh good times, good times.
Should we move to e-mail? I feel bad clogging up your public entry with nonsense about Sam Neill and British comedy...
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 12:59 pm (UTC)YEY! Black Books has been seeen! I can't help but find Dylan Moran as Bernard Black oddly attractive. Yes he's crazy, dirty, rude and very very drunk...BUt...I can't help it.
Yeah, sounds good. Our thread it getting thinner and thinner as it goes down the page so email will at least be easier to read, haha, feed_me_bug@hotmail.co.uk :D
