November 8, 20196 yr Nothing like having a debate where one side, by making their argument, is making the argument for the other side simultaneously. and the pythons sometimes let them hang themselves with their own rope, and sometimes pushed back.

November 9, 20196 yr The clergy, in all their wisdom, looked like a couple of angry babies. Instead of engaging in any actual adult discussion they insult and criticise. Reminded me of a certain prrsident.

November 9, 20196 yr LOB is one of my top 3 comedies. The other two are Blazing Saddles and Animal House. I'd never seen that talk show, though. Agree w/ Hayden, the completely missed the point of the film. They absolutely are the men that Monty Python made a career lampooning. They never got that they were the butt of the LOB jokes.
November 9, 20196 yr British pomposity, especially religious, is boundless. The crack at the end by the bishop (The Bishop!) about the filmmakers getting their "30 pieces of silver" immediately triggered the thought of this classic Python skit.
November 9, 20196 yr I watched that on You Tube a year or so ago. The Pythons are quite formidable. I read the review of Life of Brian when the movie came out and even that was a gut buster. I called my mother into the room and we shared so many laughs just from the review. Of course, the movie is brilliant. "Of course he's the real messiah. I should know, I've followed a few!"
