I do like the humor of Monty Python sketches and movies. But this is not funny. It doesn't portray the country sport truly or employ reality to poke fun. One example: The unsafe mishandling of the guns, which is asserted here as usual; not true. This and other aspects reveal the writer has no idea, other than a determination to film his uninformed prejudices, what he is talking about. There is nothing real about this snippet; and thus, it falls flat and far from humor or sarcasm.
I used to work as communication assistant in a construction corporation where, among other things, in the course of one year I wrote presentations of 4 new board members, all of whom (along with the CEO) told that in their spare time they were very much into hunting. Needless to say, to myself I imagined board meetings of that company to be something like this film. Made me see that bunch in a whole new light. (I'm not working there any longer.)
Maybe I'm thick, but can somebody tell me why this is funny? It seems to me to be nothing more than a piece of class prejudice. I'm sure country folk wouldn't find this funny in the least.
blimey, i'd rather climb both peaks of killamanjaro whilst standing upside down with me head in a bucket of brazed budgie pus & anteater's catarrh, than be saddled with a flak crew like that, poor squiffy
My mom calls it "Hunting in Arcadia, Kansas." That's where her family is from. They are kind of on the dumb side. Great sketch! I love MPFC!!! Classic stuff. My sides hurt from watching it and laughing. Good times.
Every python sketch I have seen has been 'five-starred'. This clearly demonstrates that all people have a fantastic eye for comedic genius. Completely brilliant I must say.

The only problem with watching Monty Python is that afterwards, all other comedy looks mediocre.
