If you love Monty Python...

[Toraspanda]

I'm British, and I find parts of Monty Python very funny indeed - other parts too schoolboy-humorous for my taste. I admit to finding the Parrot Sketch ROFL funny, and also the 'Knights That Say "Ni!" ' scene in MP and the Holy Grail - the punch-line is priceless!

As for the Australian Philosophers' Song, it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard!

Ah well, humour just can't be explained - it either tickles you or it doesn't. I'm always amazed to learn that someone doesn't find Terry Pratchett the funniest and wittiest writer in this or any other universe - but - chacun à son goût, isn't it!

Unhappily I don't find the current humour very funny at all. Simpsons - definately not funny for me, nor many of the current TV or movie comedies which are showing these days.

Yeah, but I'm in the same age group -- born in the 70's, so shouldn't this be funny to me?

Aqua Teen Hungerforce, Metalocolypse, The Amazing Johnathan, Cyanide and Happiness, Eddie Murphy Raw, and my homosexual chihuahua, as sad as that sounds.

A five minute one, or the full half hour?

Cyanide and Happiness can be brilliant at times.

Cappucino?! I ordered a latte! *smack* No, I'm just kidding. I did actually order a cappucino. Now go get me one!

Python is GOD

and I'm a lumberjack

I'd like to press wild flowers

Well I think Johnathan is amazing, I do like his humor, sorry not familiar with a few of the others, but I have been told Eddie Murphy's Raw is great.

Me I love the pythons, particuarly Michael Palin but I also love Billy Connelly more so early in his career when you couln't understand him?????????

LOL

I am thinking this could be a very long one Lenny

[HardScienceFan]

anyone remember Kids in the Hall?

Well done DG, I only find them funny when I'm drunk and I haven't touched a drop in ten years. John Cleese went on to make the equally dire "Fawlty Towers. " Sorry, but I don't find either remotely funny.

You have a point with the Big Yin, though before he sold out. I still remember him showing how cr*p Country and Western was when he got hold of D.I.V.O.R.C.E.

Now I love Billy Connelly, the movie "The Man Who Sued God" was pure genius, plus he is totally hawt.
