    There was a TV show in england called "Monty Python's Flying Circus". It ran for four series (45 episodes). The main people (what we now call Monty Python) were John CLeese, Graham Chapman, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. Their first film was called "And Now For Something Completley Different" (1971) which was a collection of sketches from the TV show re shot for the big screen. Then there was "Monty Python and The Holy Grail" (1975), then "Monty Python's Life Of Brian" (1979), "Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl" (1982) which was a film of a live show and then "The Meaning Of Life" (1983). Various members of the Pythons have been involved in other films and some have directed other films (A Fish Called Wanda (1988), Brazil (1985), Time Bandits (1981), Jabberwocky (1977), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) to name a few). The nearest thing in America to Flying Circus was probably "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In".

It's almost a shame to react publicly to them, as they're great watches in their own right and might lose something in you being 'on' for an audience (as much as it's enjoyable to have your in-the-moment thoughts). Maybe do 'Holy Grail' one way, and 'Life of Brian' the other?

    This entire movie is a timeless masterpiece. It's absolutely silly and hilarious, but it also digs into legitimately serious issues like religious zealotry and sexuality. Monty Python has a lot of skits that were simply absurd and silly, but they were and still are also the world champions in weaving the occasional serious and legitimate theme into their silliness.
    Holy Grail is probably more on the pure silliness side of their comedy, and don't expect a real "plot", but holy shit is it funny. The Meaning of Life then again has a lot more serious themes in it. It's by far the weakest of the three Monty Python movies, but still better than 95% of any comedy you'll ever see.

    In case nobody else has mentioned: "Monty Python" is the name of the comedy troupe, first famous for the television series "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (definitely worth a watch). They'd done a few different movies, mostly films consisting of vignettes. Their movies "Monty Python's The Life of Brian" and "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" take on a more narrative, though still madcap format. Both require a few rewatches because they have so much going on in the background (particularly "Holy Grail"--so much detail that you can blink and miss, including during the opening credits!).

    But the whole 'Biggus Dickus' part was adlibbed on the spot by Michael Palin. The Reactions of the soldiers had been real, they'd been told not to laugh at anything as it was the most serious part of the movie. When he picked on a soldier who sucked in his cheeks to avoid laughing, it was actually happening as you saw it in the movie.

    Someone else probably said this already, but Monty Python is the comedy troupe(or group). They made a TV show first called Monty Python's Flying Circus, which is a sketch comedy show that ran for 4 series. Then they made the movies The Holy Grail, Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life before they split up.
    Some of their work is absolute comedy gold. A host of the sketches from Flying Circus are immortalised pieces of comedic genius, like the dead parrot, argument clinic, ministry of silly walks, the fish slapping dance, upper class twit of the year, the spanish inquisition, and many many more.
    The first two movies are also fantastic, and universally praised. Both are frequently listed at the very top of "best comedy movies of all times" lists. The third one is more divisive. I think some of their funniest stuff is in there, but it's not for everyone.

    This piece is from an even better Monty Python movie called "Life of Brian", well, in my opinion at least, but they are all just so silly and fun
    The thing is he couldn't pronounce the letter "R" so he asked the prisoner "So you awe woman?", and when he said "No, no, "Bwavado, a touch of dewwingdo", the lieutenant made a best guess on what he said and answered "Oh, about 11 sir" 🙂
    It was filmed without the guys playing soldiers knowing what was going to happen, they were just told that they were not allowed to laugh 😂

    Out of context, bizarre, and weird, describes most of Monty Pythons work :) If you watch Holy Grail completely, instead of isolated clips, you'll see it's basically half a movie worth of story, with half a movie worth of random sketches tailored a bit to (more or less) fit in. With excellent results :)

    They were a tv series first. Sketch show style, like Mitchell and Webb. And spawned a load of shows just like it. And as a kind of spin off they made 4 movies. By far the two most well known were life of brian and the holy grail.
    They had an American in the group who used to animate really surreal and silly cartoons they'd put in. And, even in the movies, they would frequently break the fourth wall and speak to the audience.
    To a lot of people, these guys were to comedy what the Beatles were to music.

    Holy Grail and Life of Brian are different films with different plots, but they’re both Monty Python films, which means they’re from the same comedy group with similar humor.
    The Holy Grail is a parody of the stories of King Arthur, specifically his quest for the Holy Grail.
    The Life of Brian is a satirical story of a guy in biblical times who’s mistaken for a messiah.

    Excpt for the funny names, also Ceasars accent are very funny, most notable in pronuncinig R as W, so the local romans barely hear what he's saying. That is the reason why Brian is repeating himself and the roman commander to give some wierd answers or asking for repeating.
