Aww... when our life is falling apart, and even if we're in the brink of death, we should give importance to those great little things made with feelings like the cake and enjoy what's good in humanity, and so that's the meaning of life :)
@NotQuiteRight The chances of you becoming an emperor of the universe are about the same as the chances that I'll get hit in the face by a winning lottery ticket on the moon.
@SpecialAgentRavage Re John Clease, "You bastard" - personified in the 'dirty knife' sketch. He's the cook who comes out after the waiter, maitre'de and manager have all done themselves in apologising to Graham Chapman and his wife.
Monty Python in the Meaning Of Life (fighting each other). In World War One the Battle Of Somme the British lost 60,000-soldiers at the opening in one day; during the Great War the Scottish lost 1/2 of their men--named the Lost Generation, as British became old or young and a missing middle. Metaphor, our foxholes have lifelong friends, and the battlefield is hell that created the friends. FYI, steel helmets were because of the bombs bursting in air, shrapnel, source of majority of deaths.
I never noticed until I saw on commentary that after Idle dies when they're shaking him around a bit he starts to laugh but pulls it together before he faces the screen again
hmm, this is an absurd scene. similar to a sartre drama. soldiers preferring to die together celebrating their friendship rather than separately on some futile charge.
Benny Hill was considered better than Monty Python by two TV stations (WOR and WLVI TV Channel 56 in Cambridge, Ma)! The bio The Benny Hill Story by JohnSmith (bio available on amazon) shows more about this! And just about Python: google the name "Frank Worthen"!
I love how they give him these relatively delacate gifts, like the clock under glass. How's he supposed to carry that thing around, in the heat of battle? Hilarious!
Sorry but Monty Python is clearly considered more popular than Benny Hill by most people. Sure there will be some people who prefer Benny but Python are clearly most popular and if you dont think so then clearly you havent researched!
yeah benny hill fans have a very pathetic basic sense of human but most people are simple minded which is the only way id consider it being more popular not because its better because it so clearly is not.
No no because everyone knows the meaning to life is 42 :D
