There's some real wisdom in this that probably only comedians could get anybody to take seriously: Nobody knows what the fuck it's all about so just take it easy and try to be decent.
I remember watching this at 8 thinking that it would actually reveal the meaning of life and being terrified for the whole film but being unable to change the channel because I thought I'd learn some invaluable nugget of information.

For a fabulous, good humoured look at the meaning of life try ,' The reason driven life' by top author Robert M. Price. His thoughts are like gold dust. Try also authors John W. Loftus, Dan Barker, Valerie Tarico, Victor J. Stenger on youtube.
Not entirely. 42 is still the answer to life, the universe, and everything. This here is just the meaning of life. They’re two entirely different discussions. If you want, I can explain what makes them different and why.
@Namy Namely It’s a joke from ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy’; a sentient supercomputer is asked what the meaning to life, the universe, and everything is. The computer agrees to answer but says it’ll take a while, thousands of years later tons of people gather to finally hear what the answer is and it just replies with “42”

Is that my pocket watch?

I adore Michael Palin...

Thank you Bridgette..

@@ChrisJFilms Philosophers think there's more to it than that, though
...and you did! it's fun to charter an accountant, and sail the wide accountan-ceeey and...
Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40, 000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars;
It's a hundred thousand light-years side to side;
It bulges in the middle sixteen thousand light-years thick,
But out by us it's just three thousand light-years wide.
We're thirty thousand light-years from Galactic Central Point,
We go 'round every two hundred million years;
And our galaxy itself is one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz;
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!
oh - and .. don't eat fat......
The actual answer is given in the meeting room with those managers:

fruitcake4t And finally here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises
Apart from the meaning of life here, her complaint about what the public wants remains relevant to this day.
The Meaning Of Life Is: try to be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try to live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations.
Alex George and I thought I was the only one expecting something legendary.
Funniest moment in the entire film. And it's a damn funny film :)
I do believe this to be the actual meaning of life.
good for you
lol i love his bored look.Thank you brigitte lol.he makes such a great old proper lady lol
Thank you Mr Pythons. Highly appreciated. I feel full now.
I never notice that fucking hand.
The only thing that has changed is eating fat. Luckily.
This scene in Monty Python's Meaning of Life pretty much sums up most modern horror films or just film and media in general.
Hello 2010 - enjoy the time as in 2022 the MontyPython verse seems kinda sane and therapeutic. 😆
Did anyone else not notice the hand at first?
Thank you Mr. Palin.. Now I understand it all...
See, this is why I voted Monty Python for rulers of the world.
Can we all appreciate that The Meaning Of Life was held by a woman named Brigitte?
Erm... I don't think you should have ended the clip there.
The theme music and credits sort of belong together with the ending. This feels incomplete.
sonds about right
this is the best part of the film
@sa7o
huh.
that is an acceptable meaning of life.

Darn, I forgot about that.... >>

So,people are distracted,and fixated on what they want more than the meaning of life,

Show this to Hermes, entire series ends right then and there.
Pretty much, to be honest.
This video is so old damn. I was 5.
I'm showing my kids this when they turn eighteen.
Why wait?
Apple actually used this for their "Siri" program.
/watch?v=8BLzMCiR0G4&feature=related
so this is the meaning of life!?!?
Yeah, why would it be surprising?
helps me
and what's wrong with it? :D
though, eating fats from fish, nuts, olive oil it's healthy.
So don't avoid eating fats ;)
Wow... Creepy.
but what's the question? O_o
IT'S 42
Not 42? Damn, I got everything all wrong.
Not entirely. 42 is still the answer to life, the universe, and everything. This here is just the meaning of life. They’re two entirely different discussions. If you want, I can explain what makes them different and why.

@moviemaniac15 42 likes....conspiracy!!!
Please stop it with the 42 references, it's an utterly different concept of time, space death and reality.
Also it's Cliché.
