Re: Someone's been watching too much Monty Python
Monty Python was damn funny, but Blackadder was the greatest.

Re: Someone's been watching too much Monty Python
First season was :/

Seasons 2 and 3 were hilarious.

"Never, ever try to be funny in my presence again Percy."

And I pity the foo' who doesn't see Monty Python's brilliance.

Did you not see season 4 then? It's hard to choose between 2,3 or 4 as to which one is the best. Season 1 was funny but nowhere near as good as the ones that followed.

In the time "Flying Circus" was originally aired it was brilliant.
Maybe if it was produced nowadays it wouldn't raise a brow, with all the other over-the-top comedy shows. But stuff like the 'idiot olympics' remains above all that has come afterwards, and always will.

@kara: I guess I've seen em all (although it's hard to keep them seperate in my memory), but I remember it getting boring towards the end, might have been after season 4, though.

Re: Someone's been watching too much Monty Python
Python and the likes of Bo Selecta cannot be compared. Whilst Bo Selecta is funny it is only funny for one or two watchings and then you realise it's the same stuff regurgitated every week with only minor differences. The Fast show was much the same with one or two absolutely wonderful moments coming along every few episodes.

Some people lap this stuff up, I find it pretty old hat after a few shows.

Good sond, aldo.

I like House.  It is a very good show.  Speaking about sitcom, I like the new show on BBC4 - The Peep Show.  Very weird but very funny  :D

Never seen that myself.  On a non-comedy related tangent, Life on Mars is bloody excellent.

It's well worth it. Only problem is that it's one of those shows that is really hard to describe to other people as you can't quite explain what was so funny about the almost normal everyday dialogue.

Agree with you about Life on Mars though. I almost missed it actually but Kietotheworld reminded me about it so I downloaded the first episode and really got into it :) Of course seeing as it's the last episode next week everyone who's been following it has to be wondering does he get back to 2006? :)

I'm assuming you're referring to the upper-class twit of the year competition?

I'm not sure, in the german version it was called idiot olympics.

The last competition was suicide, and the sketch ends with the 3 coffins on the winner podests.

That would be the Upper-class Twit of the Year competition. "Idiot Olympics" doesn't adequately convey the fact they're all rich and inbred.
