I Really Don’T Understand How Monty Python Is Funny

[RickyDiBiase]

Humor is subjective

Ain’t a black or white thing or real breh v suburban & country breh handicap match either

But what am I missing that make people speak highly on this silly shyt

 

[Charlie Hustle]

Who do you usually hear speak highly of it? I know it was a hit during its time.

 

[get these nets]

Never got it either.

Its 40 to 60 years old with a lot of esoteric references, which doesn't give it broad appeal. Surreal humor is polarizing too, which is why you hardly ever see it in TV or films these days.

But yeah I grew up watching that stuff, it holds up for me. Those guys are legends, they were completely original and influenced and opened the door for more subversive comedy that came after.

Nobody expects the spanish inquisition.

 

[Adeptus Astartes]

I thought Life of Brian was funny.

But Mr. Bean>>

They were ahead of the curve with this one.

 

[RadaMillz]

the first time I watched it I thought it was a serious movie and it was on tv, shyt had me dying only because I was not expecting it

 

[Spiider]

I don’t know why it’s funny. It just is

 

[DraymondT]

Pasty ass dry cac humor

 

[Mystic]

GOATED SHOW. Better than your favourite show

 

[CodeKansas]

It was a different kind of humor back in the day. Me and my sister used to watch it on reruns on GPTV.

A lot of it is dry wit, something that doesn't show up often in American comedy. Or you got a straight man going up against a situation that's flat out ridiculous.

Are You Being Served? still the GOAT Britcom, though.

CACest shyt ever. English humor is torture.
