benos Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Haven't seen it in awhile... watched about four times this weekend - give or take. It's so ridiculously funny... The philosopher's football sketch and the "you were lucky" sketch are two of my all-time favorites. Maybe I'll just go put in again right now. be http://www.pythonline.com/ & for the latest goings on: http://www.dailyllama.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Love Monty Python! Everyone in the crew has done good work on other projects too (save Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky - ick). Fawlty Towers was worth a view just to see what the hotel sign would say in the opening credits (Farty Towels, Flowery Tw*ts). Gilliam is currently working on Good Omens. Based on the novel by Neil Gaiman (Sandman comic book) and Terry Pratchett, the story is set during the apocalypse. The Anti-Christ is born on earth and is accidentally switched at birth. Two angels are tasked with finding the now 11 year old child and preventing the end of the earth. The book is funny and I'm eager to see what Gilliam does with it.

Turtle Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 ...and now for something completely different. I'm with you guys, very funny stuff. I've always loved their stuff, but I have to watch it alone. The wife and kids just stare and yawn.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Mink Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Is this the one that start off pretty early in the show with something like: "What's the difference in American beer and making love in a canoe? Nothing! They're both ******* close to water!" The whole time the members are throwing British beer out to the crowd. That one was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 And in other good news, Allo Allo is now available on DVD. I just can't wait to kill a weekend with a case of beer, fuzzy bunny slippers, and the remote while pondering the art that is The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies.

EricW Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Don't know the Allo Allo?be Well, we're going to have to introduce you. I've never seen it anywhere beside PBS here in Spokane. To me, it's even funnier than Blackadder. It's set in a cafe in WWII occupied Paris. The constant running joke is about how they're protecting the priceless artwork: "The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies." It goes downhill from there... Lots of language humor, which I find terribly funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Allo Allo is a hilarious british comedy about life in a little French town during WW2. The local PBS station used to run it after Monty Python years ago. One of the more memorable characters is a british agent pretending to be the policeman. He has an atrocious accent (walks up to people and says "good moaning" and suchlike) and I think gets introduced as "an expert on escaping, from England".. to which the response is "Are things really that bad there?"

SiG Lady Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 "...and now for something completely different." This phrase was used in local conversation (by the hip among us, of course) as much as the current "like, you know..." is being used. Only it had light years more substance. Hmmm... sorry I missed AlloAllo..... never aired out here that I can ever recall. On the other hand, Blackadder DID air here--thank god! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 This phrase was used in local conversation (by the hip among us, of course) That's so funny (and cool). I guess I'm going back aways (about 18 years) but in high school a bunch of us used to use quotes from MP in our daily conversations as well. Mostly from Holy Grail, but other stuff as well. The funniest part about it was that no one else 'got it' including the teachers. Ah, what a blast from the past. Thanks Siggy....

Vince Pinto Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Wow. You guys really surprise me. I had no idea there were so many fans of Monty Python, Blackadder and 'Allo 'Allo here. Other fantastic British comedies include "Yes Minister" (and "Yes Prime Minister"), "The New Statesman", "Men Behaving Badly" and of course "Fawlty Towers".

EricW Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 ...and of course "Fawlty Towers". Which led to the constant joke when we were in college and were dating girls in the women's-only dorm: (Hi pitched male voice) "Whoooo iiiiis iiiiit!"
