If you're British and you say you like Monty Python pratically everyone else will say "so do I, isn't it hilarious". In America if you say you like Monty Python you're considered a nerd.
I love that there are no women being interviewed xD I'm a 20 year old female, and I'm slowly just starting to 'get' Monty Python... the fact that there really isn't anything to 'get' at all xD
@BeautyxinChains I was totally thinking that too! I'm sure there are women who grew up loving Monty Python (like myself) so why not even 1 woman? Weird.
I was introduced to Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I was in fifth grade. It was intriguing how another person couldn't explain a joke to you from monty python if you hadn't actually witnessed it. Once I witnessed Holy Grail I understood the jokes perfectly. That barrier between Python lovers and Python apathetics made the humor that much more special.
I was maybe 10 or 11 when I first saw the Flying Circus reruns and then my best friend showed me Holy Grail and I loved it. And we were the cool kids at school! And ever since my love for the Pythons has just grown stronger. I have seen the movies and Flying Circus countless times. I know the lines, I quote them all the time. Thank you Pythons for making my life much funnier that I could have imagined! And now for something completely different... :D
@RinDeT Quoting it endlessly kida ruins it... Monty Python was meant to be absurd, and spontaneous, and just unexpected. Endlessly quoting it doesn't help, promote surreal humour and destroy all apes
That was a lovely little montage of warm fuzzy (non self congratulatory) tributes to the genius of Spike Python - I mean Monty Milligan, sorry! I mean Spiky Mython
Monty Spilligan
I meeeeaaaan .......deep breath ........ Spike Milligan.
Yes, Spike Milligan.
No not Spike Milligan, not him, I mean Monty Python!
"If you play 'Darkside of the Moon' while you watch 'Holy Grail', I guarantee that you're not getting laid." HEEEELLLLPPP MEEEEEE!!! That cannot be true, it just can't be! If that's true... then I am so screwed! :'(
It's unfortunate that so few of these comedians, with the exception of Stone and Parker, who really continue the Python tradition of intellectual silliness and satire..
@tomsega The Simpsons could kind of fall into that category, but if you're talking intellectual silliness, try Futurama, another of Matt Groening's television cartoons. So funny. Every joke is pretty much a twist on a classic and common joke.
@Triplesod lol actually 5 months later it does sound unfair. it's right after I watched family guy politely mocking the flying circus and then I remembered what my american friends think about it, so..sorry I guess
:-) Nah, no problem, mate. I just get bored with the general Anti-Americanism from my fellow Brits and other Europeans. It has got to the point that people just make shit up about Americans now, cause they can get away with it, which is something that many Americans actually used to do. Nah, they're an easy target and not deserving of it. You have American mates, so you know how great Americans can be, in general.
@snookerfan75. are we talking about the same video? check the first few actors again. it's the same creak when they're speaking in a low pitch, and sort of squeely when they're speaking in higher pitch.
I´m Mexican and It wouldn´t surprise me in the least to find out that I´m the only person in my whole country who has the slightest idea about what the fuck Monty Python is. Long Live Python
George Harrison said that Python took on the spirit of the Beatles by other means. He was a great fan: appeared in the Lumberjack song at the Hollywood Bowl; as an interviewer in eric Idles 'Ruttles' spoof of the Beatles and financed 'Life of Brian.'
I think Python are more or less forgotten in the UK now, apart from some people interested in nostalgia. It was funny at the time, but it's finished. Let it go.
Monty python is still influencing younger generations today, though not as much as before. Myself(14) and a friend(also 14) both love Monty python even though the rest of our 23-student class doesn't get us.
@jumpingjimoneez i know what your taking about me and my friend do this all the time we just blurt out in class "the wings are not on fire!" or parts from the witch part in the holy grail like "BULID A BRIGE OUT OF ER!" and every one in the class looks at us like we should be wearing helmets 24/7 so monty python thank you all for so much you have made me laugh on so meany occasions when im pissed and you always do and for this i thank you
@jumpingjimoneez It was mandatory in our family to recite lines from cult classics and Monty Python. Most people I went to school with didn't understand a word of it, so I know what you mean.
I think Peter Griffin of Family Guy has right Jimmy Fallon thinks he`s so funny as Jerry Lewis with his look right in the camera thing Fallon is one thing and that is that he is not funny
@reikjo Please, much as I enjoy Family Guy, MacFarlane isn't fit to be in the same room with any of the Pythons. While wer're at it what are Parker and Stone doing there? What have they brought us but talking poo?
@auntbecky in a lot of south park episodes they have an underlining message, inside joke that only a percentage of their core audience gets. A lot of it is influenced by Monty Python, if you actually watch it and understand the references to some of the stuff they do, you can see they get it from Monty Python. But its still so different that you can like python and not like south park, but then again southpark doesn't hold back much of the rude stuff.
Really, you think Americans pronounce 'Python' weirdly? I think they pronounce it correctly. It's the British who say 'Py-thun' rather than 'Py-thon'. However Americans do pronounce 'Monty' rather oddly. They seem to say 'Mon-ee'
So there you go: U.K. 'Monty Pythun'; U.S. 'Monee Python'.
@electricrussell Show me examples of every single british person saying python as py-thun, and the same with americans saying monty as mon-ee, i mean there are so many different accents in each of these countrys that generalising the entire country into one accent is retarded.
im always a little upset by the fact they never talk to female fans in these interviews, Im a 18 year old girls who has been obsessed with python since i was 13 and I know there is a lot of us out there, they try to make it seem like it is just a boys club but its really not. im just a proud female Python Geek..=)
@CaiteeRose2013 Yeah why is that? I have loved monty python as long as i can remember and so have most of my femalefriends, but I cant say many of my malefriends like it, just my dad loves it. I also feel like Carol Cleveland has been quite overlooked, she was basically part of monty python but never recognised as one, but I guess that was the python guys fault
I'm 19, discovered Monty Python when I was about 12 years old. I saw Holy Grail and I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness perfectly paired with intellectual humor. I've seen every episode at least 8 times.
Also, I was surprised that Trey and Matt didn't talk about the animation of South Park. It was completely influenced by Terry Gilliam.
I just sort of stumbled upon Monty Python, last year. My english teacher showed us holy grail as an example of satire, and i kind of fell in love with it. I can now pretty much recite the Dead Parrot scene. And if you can't tell, I am American, so the Pythons have not only concored America back then, they did it again with my age group. =]
Everyone I know at my Christian university LOVES Monty Python- we've watched sketches in class (relevant of course to the course). My History Prof. loves Life of Brian. It's my favorite, too.
Everybody who goes here is Christian, we sometimes start class off with prayer, alcohols not allowed, we have chapel three times a week (only an hour), and there are more minstry and religious-related classes available (like Bible classes, ancient Greek, CS Lewis, etc). It's pretty much a normal school, just no drugs or alcohol, and the occasional prayer. Most are regular people, others are really smart, like a regular school.
Oh. I just kind of assumed that, what with all the drinking, they kind of allowed alcohol. Not in class or anything, and only when you're over 21. So, then, I guess the 'no drugs or alcohol' rule that every school has is actually followed here?
well im in canada...I just meant in class lol, does anyone anywhere follow rules perfectly? lol people drink and stuff after class and what ever but not during class that would be just stupid, i mean you probably could show up drunk but that would be dumb, you would be paying money to go to class to not learn anything lol
That's fine, everybody's different! As long as nobody's getting hurt...
But, as a Christian university, 'behaving' is part of the lure; kids who don't want to deal with drinking and stuff go here, with other kids who don't drink or anything, so it kind of leads to a well-behaved college. Not to say everybody is 'perfect,' we still have idiots! But they're still 'good' idiots, if you know what I'm trying to say.
well I personally dont drink, i just dont like it. But i smoke pot and its pretty accepted in canada..well before harper showed up. I dont go around starting crap, I smoke some pot once and awhile play my bass guitar and watch some comedys yea know? I got friends that dont drink and dont smoke pot and dont listen to heavy music etc and thats their thing but we are still friends because we have other stuff in common, and trust me, they can be idiots...lol so i know what your saying
I mean, our school has basically no athletics program, and we're very good academically, but we're still small, so the only real reason anyone would want to come here is for a 'good,' Christian college experience. Not to say we're Bible Camp; we're actually a good academic school. We're very good, just not 'great.' (I think the US World Report or whoever ranked us, like, 10th out of mid-western schools?)
Only reall difference is that most here are dedicated to Christ, and want to make the world a better place, for Him. (Actually better, via fixing poverty and stopping war, not fake better by bashing gays or that kind of stuff.) Most of my professors believe in evolution.
I guess it can be summed up like this: It was nothing like I thought it was going to be, and I'm grateful for that.
folks, it's as matt stone and trey parker said, only a certain amount of people will get the humor right away. but sooner or later will get it, or they just may never get it at all. it all depends on your point of view and the way things're understood, and if you can poke fun at most anything, even the most serious stuff, then you've got comedy. Comedy is just that, a chance to step back and laugh.
According to your logic, Russians and African-Americans are unable to appreciate Monty Python as well. Just because a group of people to which you belong was not represented doesn't mean that they have been excluded.
perhaps not russians because this was produced for english speakers presumably by americans so yes the absence of africna-american comedians is quite glaring, as it is with women
So Russians, but not African-Americans, nor women are rightfully excluded from such humor, while African-Americans of both sexes and women of an unknown race who speak fluent english are unjustly exempt. Is this correct? Since this is english humor, it could be assumed that people who speak Australian, American, Canadian, or other world dialects of English are barely qualified for such comedy. Do you have quarrel with this?
ummm... it's called British humor because it originates in great Britain. monty python sort of had a female member and saturday night live has had several famale and african american members. they don't show a diverse crowd in this particular video but is just a video produced for a youtube channel and perhaps a DVD extra. get your head out of your ass.
guess they just couldn't find a female actor/writer or comedian to get her view on it in time for posting, who knows? but I'm sure that there's quite a few out there
@Firebunny3000 Well, according to Seth MacFarlane we don't. There's a scene in Family Guy where Meg is tied to a chair and forced to watch MP. All this came as news to me since I've loved since I was about 10 myself. Also, the last time I checked I was a woman.
@Firebunny3000 I am and since i was...i think 7 or 8 LOOOOOOOVED MP and Faulty Towers. I even had a poster for silly walks and got into y art school by doing the skit about being a loin tamer. But...I DHP says no one would call us cool...I think we are. All MP or Brit com people are.
@Firebunny3000 yeah what's up with that? me and my little clique of girls in Jr. High would have slumber parties where would stay up all night watching Monty Python. but yeah...we weren't the "cool" kids.
What I took from these interviews is that the enduring influence of Python in america is that it was three things:
Intelligent. Irreverent. Fun.
To nerds and geeks in america before that, there wasn't a license to be that way. And suddenly, from across the pond, here are these guys, clearly intelligent, allowing their imaginations to run in whatever weird ways they wanted, not revering the status quo, and having a fun doing so. I don't think it's too strong a word to say it was a revelation.
I think people love Python because they are the ultimate bad boys. All boys wants to be bad boys and in their own very intellectual and brilliant way they are the ultimate bad boys of all time.
I also saw all their stuff when I was young but back then I never thought that this might have an influence on my at all.
Now my girlfriend sometimes yells at me: Goddamn!! Stop being such a moron and grow up for Christs sake (I'm 31 btw). What the hell you think you are doing?
Maybe sometimes she just doesn't get it.
Uhm...sometimes I don't to...
HEY! You f***** up my brain!!!
No really. I was exactly in the right age as a kid to enjoy that kind of humor very much. Thanx guys.
I'm a girl and I love Monty Python. None of my friends including my guy friends knew about Monty Python. They all thought I was a nerd. Why can't a woman share her experiences. Surely there has to be one.
I dont think so If they do they wouldnt admit it, -just maybe monthy python channel shuold activly look for one for obviously there must be some in their own age-class maybe some famous
Agreed. I'm a girl and feel precisely the same about this and comedy, sci-fi and anything remotely cult. People don't realise how many women there are out there who apprectiate stuff like that.
A fake Brit accent will let you say anything and it's funny: "Good evening, tonight, my buttocks will perform 'Marc Antony's Speech' in flatulence while I ride a bike and ding the bell". You do that in a "John Cleese" voice, and you're golden...to about 3 people. But those 3 people will buy you drinks all night if you keep it up.
I started watching Benny Hill on PBS first when I was abouy 11 or 12.Then a friend of mine lent me a VHS copy of THE HOLY GRAIL and I almost pissed myself when King Aurthur fought the Black Knight..And then later the whole CARL BANNER furosious rabbit scene i was no more good..I've been hooked evere since!!And yes I saw SPAMALOT in MANHATTAN in 2005 with 4 other PYTHON fans...It was awesome!! My hats of to the TROOP!!!
sounds like my story.I started with benny on PBS too.Then saw the grail.I had to see all the films after that....life of brian,meaning of life etc.I own all three now.I've never seen spamalot though...whats that?a tribute?...they made fun of spam on 'the flying circus' i think. Python was genius.
i was surprised about the simpsons being influenced by monty python as i never saw that before, but then again, in relation to other american stuff, the simpsons is superior. still, though alot of american comedy makes me laugh, i can't think of any that's made me split my gut laughing like british stuff.
If you're British and you say you like Monty Python pratically everyone else will say "so do I, isn't it hilarious". In America if you say you like Monty Python you're considered a nerd.

Hail to the Gods of Geekdom!
Women and Cool guys can keep their dry humor (or is it wry humor?).
Python will be cherished by geeks and Christians for decades to come.
I'll just say human bless my fellow Python fans (because the first line may have raised some eyebrows). And not those of a moose, mind you.
I'm not sure if they have eyebrows, anyways.

Everyone I know at my Christian university LOVES Monty Python- we've watched sketches in class (relevant of course to the course). My History Prof. loves Life of Brian. It's my favorite, too.

A Christian University?
stanleykneecap 2 years ago
Yeah! (Indiana Wesleyan, not Liberty or Bob Jones)
That's the thing- some Christian schools are good schools (Notre Dame, Wheaton, IWU), others... aren't (Liberty, Bob Jones).
masternachos 2 years ago
That freaks me out a bit mate. We (unfortunately) have faith schools in Britain,but not Uni's.
How does the "Christian" element manifest itself?
stanleykneecap 2 years ago
Everybody who goes here is Christian, we sometimes start class off with prayer, alcohols not allowed, we have chapel three times a week (only an hour), and there are more minstry and religious-related classes available (like Bible classes, ancient Greek, CS Lewis, etc). It's pretty much a normal school, just no drugs or alcohol, and the occasional prayer. Most are regular people, others are really smart, like a regular school.
masternachos 2 years ago
what school have you been to that allows drugs and alcohol?! lol thats not a christian thing thats a school thing
sociopathix 2 years ago
Oh. I just kind of assumed that, what with all the drinking, they kind of allowed alcohol. Not in class or anything, and only when you're over 21. So, then, I guess the 'no drugs or alcohol' rule that every school has is actually followed here?
masternachos 2 years ago
well im in canada...I just meant in class lol, does anyone anywhere follow rules perfectly? lol people drink and stuff after class and what ever but not during class that would be just stupid, i mean you probably could show up drunk but that would be dumb, you would be paying money to go to class to not learn anything lol
sociopathix 2 years ago
Of course nobody follows rules perfectly, not even here! We're just better behaved, that's all [He said, trying not at all to sound stuck-up].
masternachos 2 years ago
lol, i went to a catholic highschool if that counts? Lol, no im not behaved at all who am i kidding.
sociopathix 2 years ago
That's fine, everybody's different! As long as nobody's getting hurt...
But, as a Christian university, 'behaving' is part of the lure; kids who don't want to deal with drinking and stuff go here, with other kids who don't drink or anything, so it kind of leads to a well-behaved college. Not to say everybody is 'perfect,' we still have idiots! But they're still 'good' idiots, if you know what I'm trying to say.
masternachos 2 years ago
well I personally dont drink, i just dont like it. But i smoke pot and its pretty accepted in canada..well before harper showed up. I dont go around starting crap, I smoke some pot once and awhile play my bass guitar and watch some comedys yea know? I got friends that dont drink and dont smoke pot and dont listen to heavy music etc and thats their thing but we are still friends because we have other stuff in common, and trust me, they can be idiots...lol so i know what your saying

Alcohol is not your friend. Pot is natural. Don't defend smoking it, just smoke it.
Nautilus1972 2 years ago
I mean, our school has basically no athletics program, and we're very good academically, but we're still small, so the only real reason anyone would want to come here is for a 'good,' Christian college experience. Not to say we're Bible Camp; we're actually a good academic school. We're very good, just not 'great.' (I think the US World Report or whoever ranked us, like, 10th out of mid-western schools?)
masternachos 2 years ago
Only reall difference is that most here are dedicated to Christ, and want to make the world a better place, for Him. (Actually better, via fixing poverty and stopping war, not fake better by bashing gays or that kind of stuff.) Most of my professors believe in evolution.
I guess it can be summed up like this: It was nothing like I thought it was going to be, and I'm grateful for that.
LOTS of 'solve global problems for Christ' stuff.
Am I making sense? It's kind of hard to describe.

folks, it's as matt stone and trey parker said, only a certain amount of people will get the humor right away. but sooner or later will get it, or they just may never get it at all. it all depends on your point of view and the way things're understood, and if you can poke fun at most anything, even the most serious stuff, then you've got comedy. Comedy is just that, a chance to step back and laugh.

According to your logic, Russians and African-Americans are unable to appreciate Monty Python as well. Just because a group of people to which you belong was not represented doesn't mean that they have been excluded.
maniacalmania 2 years ago
perhaps not russians because this was produced for english speakers presumably by americans so yes the absence of africna-american comedians is quite glaring, as it is with women
xGP7 2 years ago
So Russians, but not African-Americans, nor women are rightfully excluded from such humor, while African-Americans of both sexes and women of an unknown race who speak fluent english are unjustly exempt. Is this correct? Since this is english humor, it could be assumed that people who speak Australian, American, Canadian, or other world dialects of English are barely qualified for such comedy. Do you have quarrel with this?
maniacalmania 2 years ago
ummm... it's called British humor because it originates in great Britain. monty python sort of had a female member and saturday night live has had several famale and african american members. they don't show a diverse crowd in this particular video but is just a video produced for a youtube channel and perhaps a DVD extra. get your head out of your ass.

This was originally on a DVD that was addded to the "Megaton 21 Disc set" --- the DVD contains two documentaries:
These interviews were taken from "MP Conquers America"
The other interview disc was "Before the Flying Circus"
These "Interview Documentaries" will be released indivually (separated from the box set) October (21st?), 2009.

What I took from these interviews is that the enduring influence of Python in america is that it was three things:
Intelligent. Irreverent. Fun.
To nerds and geeks in america before that, there wasn't a license to be that way. And suddenly, from across the pond, here are these guys, clearly intelligent, allowing their imaginations to run in whatever weird ways they wanted, not revering the status quo, and having a fun doing so. I don't think it's too strong a word to say it was a revelation.

I think people love Python because they are the ultimate bad boys. All boys wants to be bad boys and in their own very intellectual and brilliant way they are the ultimate bad boys of all time.

A fake Brit accent will let you say anything and it's funny: "Good evening, tonight, my buttocks will perform 'Marc Antony's Speech' in flatulence while I ride a bike and ding the bell". You do that in a "John Cleese" voice, and you're golden...to about 3 people. But those 3 people will buy you drinks all night if you keep it up.

i was surprised about the simpsons being influenced by monty python as i never saw that before, but then again, in relation to other american stuff, the simpsons is superior. still, though alot of american comedy makes me laugh, i can't think of any that's made me split my gut laughing like british stuff.
