maiu Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 A friend of mine gave me a DVD a few monts ago and I loved it from the very start. It keeps getting funnier every time I watch it, and helped me destroyed my conception of British people having no sense of humour (no offense).

What is your quest? To seek the Holy Grail. What is your favourite colour? Blue. Right, off you go. :laugh3: By the way, the Dead Parrot Sketch is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Tnspieler1012 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Have you seen Monty Python And The Holy Grail yet? Funny stuff! If you want, I could upload some of their audio sketches in MM.;) LOL yeah, I took WAY too long to see it despite my friends urgings, and when I did I agreed that it's one of those films that every living soul needs to see at least once. "That's beside the point! a five ounce swallow cannot carry a one pound coconut! maybe an african swallow....but those are non migratory, that's what I'm saying....!" "You have no limbs!" "Okay, we'll call it a draw......come back here you coward!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiu Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Proably too long, but I just HAD to post this. -There are ways of telling whether she is a witch. [/url]-Are there? Oh well, tell us. -Tell me. What do you do with witches? -Burn them. -And what do you burn, apart from witches? -More witches. -Wood. -Good. Now, why do witches burn? -...because they're made of... wood? -Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of wood? -Build a bridge out of her. -But can you not also build bridges out of stone? -Oh yeah. -Does wood sink in water? -No, no, it floats!... It floats! Throw her into the pond! -No, no. What else floats in water? -Bread. -Apples. -Very small rocks. -Cider. -Gravy. -Cherries. -Mud. -Churches. -Lead! Lead! -A Duck. -...Exactly. So, logically... -If she weighed the same as a duck... she's made of wood. -And therefore... -...A witch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, after watching 5 minutes of Python I knew it was wrong. Been watching some Fry and Laurie too.....yep, you have an amazing sense of humour.

Tnspieler1012 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 me too, on bbc america they occasionally have old monty python reruns but none of the awesome stuff you guys are posting like silly walks, the funniest joke ever written and dead parrot (which I recall my brother Nick referencing numerous times).

maiu Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I've heard Dead Parrot is used as a popular reference for death, read somewhere that even Margaret Thatcher said it. It's just so damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 John Cleese was born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England, the son of Muriel (née Cross), an acrobat, and Reginald Francis Cleese, who worked in insurance sales. His family's surname was previously "Cheese", but his father changed his surname to "Cleese" in 1915, upon joining the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiu Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just came across [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR3eUjD6y6o&feature=iv&annotation_id=event_562256]this[/ame], it's a pretty accurate description of the political situation in the states by John Cleese. It's funny too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
