This is a funny satire for the following reasons: 1) Catholics are being stereotyped here as being dogmatically obsessed simpletons, who treat sex solely as a mechanical means of reproduction. 2) Protestants are being stereotyped as being over-the-top Puritans, obsessed with sex as a forbidden (yet desired) pleasure. People who are intelligent, and who understand the brilliant British humor of Monty Python, will agree! :D

did anyone else notice that throughout this whole video there are STILL children walking out of the house accross the street?!?!

[KEYSERSOZE1965]

You notice that the Monty Python group never holds back when poking fun or making a point about organized religion.

I kept laughing during the entire video because of that. IMO, it's not as funny if you don't notice that bit.

His accent and cadence is lovely!

[sahiblindberg]

yes, but because you analyze humor like that, you must be very boring person (even if this scene is funny because of things you said)

[88BigPhill88]

Oh, yes Harry! Oooooh!

[Ericka v g Leijonhufvud]

Would his 'old fella' rise to the occasion d'ye think? My auld fela has a wee bit of a problem.  Love this made me laugh like a drain. But the Pythons were/are brilliant no one touches them. Miss their Flying Circus.

Yeah, the catholic couple surely had a good time... lots of times
