Are they flogging a dead parrot?

[welsh dragon]

They have openly admitted its for the money - thats why most of us work aint it . i was too young to see them first time around and wouldn't mind seeing them even though i could probably recite the words for them - then again if i went to see a band who i like i could probably sing the words to the songs so can't see much difference .

Sad boy

I seem to remember hearing an interview with the one who made the animations, the American guy I think, and when asked what they meant, he replied something along the lines of

'I really have no idea, we just made it up as we went along!'

'Nuff said.

Ha, that really takes me back. I remember when playing in youth orchestras that it was always the brass players who lined themselves up at the bar to do this.

Their humour was, at the time, a welcome alternative to Morecombe & Wise and The Two Ronnies but hasn't aged that well.

I suppose the audience will be the same crowd that flock to The Rolling Stones concerts

Blasphemer.

Still funny.

 

[pplpilot]

It wasn't funny then and it wont be funny when they do it again...

'this parrot is no more he has ceased to be' - How is it funny?

Should be assigned to the history books along with all the other crap from around the same time.

Don't panic! don't panic!

Utter shite the lot of it.

Monty Python was a "child of it's time" and will not age well

We have a young apprentice going to Australia and this brought up the "Bruce's sketch"



They found it unfunny homophobic and racist

PS: And any of you dare to say the Pythons are has-beens and not funny, dont you ever, EVER admit to liking Reeves and Mortimer, Enfield, Whitehouse or any other form of modern surreal comedy......... for without Idle, Cleese and his chums it would be nought.

You're safe Smeggers, have never been able to watch 'Vic' Reeves without thinking he was struggling...or Paul Whitehouse, or Harry Enfield... now Charlie Higson's clever but still not a patch on the script writers who wrote the classics.

It's aged very badly, what they are best remembered for is now excruciatingly unfunny (IMO), it was funny, a bit, when I was 10 and my only alternative source of entertainment was a football.
