    That castle in Scotland that Cleese is talking about, he actually managed to damage it. In the French taunting scene, he swung his sword at the outside wall and managed to take a chunk out of the brick work, about the size of a tennis ball, and they were scared shitless that they’d need to pay to repair it but I’m pretty sure they mounted a plaque underneath it saying “Improved by John Cleese”

    I've met John Cleese. Helped him find an encyclopedia when I worked at Borders. No celebrity attitude at all, he's just the nicest guy. Like meeting a friend's Dad.
    Had a funny incident another time when I was at the main info desk, and Cleese and his lovely wife came in. They talked to me for a couple minutes, then Mr. Cleese told his wife he'd be over at the coffee bar and walked away. So I'm still helping and chatting with his wife, also such a nice lady. Anyway, seconds after Cleese walked away this dude comes rushing up to the info desk, stands right next to Mrs. Cleese and starts going off "Was that John Cleese? OHMYGOD!!! I LOVE HIM! HE'S SO AWESOME! HE'S THE FUNNIEST GUY!" and so on, and in the meantime, Mrs. Cleese and I are just looking at each other, eyes kinda locked on each other, both biting our lips trying not to laugh as this guy, unknowingly is fangirling BIG TIME
    about how awesome Mr.Cleese is (which is true, to be fair), and standing right next to his wife! She and I both had a good laugh when the star-struck young man walked off, and I asked her "Does that happen often?" and she said "All. The. Time." She was pretty awesome too. And quite pretty as well, if I recall.

      B) Wales (more ancestors - do you sense a trend here?) defeats England and Scotland in a three-way football tournament, and
      C) the wrong-headed and foolish decimal pound is abolished, and the shilling returns to take its rightful place amongst the currencies of no-longer-Great Britain. If money was supposed to be easy to figure out, people would have more of it.

      On one of the recent warm days a sour-visaged, fussy lady got on one of the smoking seats on an open car in the subway. Next her sat a man who was smoking a cigar. More than that, the lady, sniffing, easily made out that the man had been eating onions. Still more than that, she had the strongest kind of suspicion that he had been drinking beer. The lady fussed and wriggled, and grew angrier, and looked at the man scornfully. Presently she could endure it no longer. She looked squarely at him and said: ‘If you were my husband, sir, I’d give you a dose of poison!’ The man looked at her. ‘If I were your husband,’ said he, ‘I’d take it!’

    I was screaming on the floor laughing when I watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the first time. Lancelot's charge scene just broke me. I rarely laugh at comedies (doesn't mean I don't enjoy them or find them funny) or anything, really, so when a film gets that classic witch laugh of mine out, I am grateful.

      you touched a nerve with this comment. I'm into senior years now, given to bouts of reflection about the too hastily passed past. And I do remember with great fondness a treasured moment when, along with a few good friends, we saw Holy Grail at the movie theatre. We all succumbed to the deepest belly laughter and weeping, breathless loss of control throughout the movie... Though I do not know you Steambull1, I have a feeling we'd have gotten along just fine, seeing how we had this in common. What a great memory that is!

      Mine, too! Usually, people get into fights over John or Paul, but George did more with his Beatle status than all the others. Frank Sinatra started off hating rock music and The Beatles but he eventually met them and thought they weren't all that bad. Sinatra's favorite Beatle? George. Harrison and Patty Boyd dropped by a Sinatra recording session in 1968. There's a photo of them on the back of Sinatra's "Cycles" album - it's pretty cool, and you can tell they're talking, not just posing for a photo.

    One of the reasons Cleese (and the other Pythons for that matter) is his openness for situations, people and opinions. As he said in this interview he loves it when he doesn't know what will happen. Getting in touch with as many different things, people and situations helps growing as a person but as we can see also with doing comedy. The Python's sketches were anarchic, chaotic, all over the place because their minds weren't stuck in small worlds. I would love to hang around with any of the Pythons but especially Cleese, one could have a heavy argument about politics one minute and discuss life insurance rates for mayflies the next minute.

That was when I realised, at 14, that it was not only ok not to believe in this God character, but also ok to regard the whole thing as really very silly. I wasn't raised massively religious, but went to Chapel (Welsh) and Sunday School and got fed it like it was sweet. That debate showed me how foolish & limiting the upper tier of religions were. Even watching it felt like a subversive act since I snuck downstairs after everyone had gone to bed.

      I wasn't allowed to watch Monty Python at my grandparents' house (who had a nice TV) because they were religious and considered it offensive so watching it became an act of rebellion.
      I loved how the Pythons pointed out that the Church was telling people not to go see a movie with the central theme being think for yourselves and don't just blindly follow religious authorities, and that the ban made it so successful.
      What I remember most about the debate you refer to is the Catholic priest or bishop or whatever his title was who had on a resplendent purple dress and my gaydar went to 11 watching him speak.

      What a pant load. Harrison reduced his music to the Buddhist equivalent of christian rock. The Beatles made pretty good music. They're not important, and all those claiming the contrary are just those trying to boost their own self importance by publicly noting how clever they are for having "noticed". So kindly stuff it up an orifice of your own chosing.

Life of Brian has some childish jokes (they are good though) which are quite similar to Holy Grail as they are enjoyable for both young and old people.

MoL as I said was a great movie and had some hard hitting skits, but others were far more purile, even archaic at the time the movie was made. (the British upper-class stiff upper lip in the leg removal bit, for example) And I just feel LoB was the strongest of the three movies overall for consistant funny AND hard-hitting humor with far fewer missed bits then either of the other two movies.
