The Pythons themselves seem to think it's Brian. I prefer Grail.

Also, has anyone made it out to John Cleese' recent tours? He's stopping here in November and I'm thinking of going.

>>85519393

He's that old and making a tour? Would definitely attend if I were you.

>>85519345

Well we can all can agree that Meaning of Life was the worst

>>85519345
It has to be the Grail. The peasants scene alone is their peak in ridiculing both the right wing and the left wing aspects of socioeconomics.

I like it more than Brian. It's fucking hilarious. Brian always felt too forced to me.

>>85519393
>>85519345
It's definitely Life of Brian

>>85519537
It's the worst one, but still not too bad

Did anyone see the recent reunion live shows they did? It's still funny and fresh after all these years

>>85519576

Any online links? Also post favorite sketches

>>85519537
Worst out of the three greatest movies of all time, that is

I actually really liked Meaning of Life because it seemed like they decided to just throw everything at it and say everything they'd been wanting to say before they quit, its mostly quality stuff.

I like brian better

>that coventry city bit

>>85519345

i made my ex watch holy grail. she laughed. we broke up. she got married.

thats what i get for sharing anything i enjoy with a girl instead of just sharing money and jewels/clothes/perfume/cars/houses/holidays/fancy restaurants/concerts/watches,

>>85519345
I like their parody depiction of the middle ages as just people crawling around in mud, it seems close to what people today think actually went on during those times, makes me think of this critique https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCJUDdEirco

>>85519813

Honestly they are not that wrong but it's mostly still played for laughs and cannot be taken seriously.

>>85520285
>Honestly they are not that wrong
"lmao just walk around covered in mud"? sure people did that

>>85519768
This. My ex wanted to watch my favorite movies with me even though she knew she wouldnt enjoy them and just wanted more insight into my persona, thankfully we broke up before she had the chance to and all she ruined for me were a few shitty plays.

>>85519768

What?

>>85520370

Peasants probably did in reality, but then again this is a movie where a fucking rabbit is a genocidal machine. Who cares if its historically accurate or exaggerated when its a funny as hell movie?

>>85522422
not talking about the movie. I don't believe people just walked around covered in mud, why would they? as if they hadn't developed the technology that makes them want to clean themselves or some shit, all sorts of animals clean themselves

>>85522493
it wasn't until the blacks came about that the whites started cleaning themselves, so of course they walked around covered in filth. jesus, read a book.

>>85522493
>all sorts of animals clean themselves

Your entire post is retarded but this just highlights it.

>>85519393
I am torn between Brian and Grail
I think BrIan
I went to Cleese and Idle last year
It was good
You have to be a fan it's more of them reminiscing and telling stories than new shtick
That being said I wasn't disappointed
I say go

>>85522602
you're just acting wilfully stupid instead of taking part in the discussion, that's pretty retarded

>>85519576
I went to their second reunion show in London, it was a self-proclaimed cash grab and seemed like the Pythons themselves didn’t have much to do with the creative process but was definitely enjoyable nonetheless.

>>85522785
Ya when I went last year to the Cleese/Idle one, they had no qualms about saying "we are only doing this for the money"

>Ohhh A pestilence on this land, nothing is sacred

His inflection always cracks me up

>>85522422
Modern perception of medieval life largely comes from XVIII and XIX century historians who assumed that because their own poor lived and died in gutters like animals, Middle Ages had to have been worse.

Mind you, urban sprawl + no water pipes and sanitation + medical theories that bathing makes you susceptible to disease = nose horror, but that wasn't a purely medieval issue and actually got much worse once we moved into Renaissance and Enlightenment. The perfume industry arose from the catastrophic filth and stench of nobles and rich middle class townsfolk, not the muckraking peasants.

>>85519345
both grail and brian are great movies, but i have a special place in my heart for the meaning of life.

>>85523032
seems like a joke to me

>>85519393
Brian is a better made movie, and the script is smarter but Grail is just funnier.

>>85519551
>strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government

christ I've seen this movie a dozen times and that still makes me laugh

Life of Brian is the smartest and most well written, but Holy Grail is more quotable and thus more memorable.

>>85519345
Their best MOVIE is Life of Brian.

Their best series of loosely connected sketches is Holy Grail.

>Why are you in England?
>Mind your own buisness!

Always gets me.

The coconut bit will always be my favourite. The timing is perfect.

Saw his show with Eric Idle last year.

Best character coming through

>>85525077
Nice try, but Brave Brave Brave Sir Robin is obviously the best character, since he's not in the least bit afraid of getting his balls smashed.

>>85525362
Childhood is idolising Lancelot
Adulthood is realising Robin makes more sense
