It was preempted by the draft for me. I was debating whether to watch the delayed version when it airs, but this may have sold me.

Just tried to watch Holy Grail with the kids (7 & 11)... Lasted 10 mins, before ducking out. Literally. Gave up on it at the witch scene.
But still soooooo good. Eric Palin's socio-political rant at Arthur before the "he's the only one not covered in ####" line is unbelievable. Also helped along with "ooooh, there's some delightful filth over here".
Will probably finish it up without them.

This reminds of a MPFC named fantasy team of my own.
I have been in a really great dynasty football league since '07. In 2010, I traded for Aaron Rodgers, who led me to a Superbowl title that year. In honor of Aaron & the Packers, I changed my team name to Venezuelan Beaver Cheese and made an avatar/logo for my team: VBC Team Logo
The sketch: Cheese Shop
I traded Aaron away in 2016 (I think) & changed team name, but it was a run.

The films were good but slightly overrated for me. The original BBC TV series remains to this day the funniest, most innovative comedy ever produced by man or beast. Still ahead of its time all these years later.
The show is too surreal, too existential for some tastes of course. I'm delighted to see so many folks outside of the UK dig the humour because it is very, very British. Some of the regional references that are drawn upon, the jokes made at the expense of the social class structure of the UK (a perennial favourite target for British comedians), even silly things like the different accents incorporated must surely go over a few non-British heads. Just as I'm sure that the same sort of thing must happen to me when I'm watching American comedy. But good laughs are good laughs, they'll translate anywhere. And of course there's more than a fair dollop of visual, slapstick to enjoy that will never get lost in translation. See for instance the, "Batley Townswomen's Guild Presents the Battle of Pearl Harbour" sketch.
Its difficult to understate the sheer sense of anarchy that Monty Python embraces. Satirical, anti-establishment and utterly unconventional. They truly did deserve that, "Beatles of Comedy" moniker.

yeah, it was so different than anything we had ever seen before (SNL had just started the Fall of my senior yr). I remember first seeing it when I was a HS senior - it was on early evening on Sundays.

Thnx for letting me peacock a bit, Galileo. It is not often I get to strut anymore.

Just a note of sadness for the passing of one my intellectual heroes, Terry Jones. I just loved these guys and the influence they had on me was great as a young man trying to expand my mind. RIP Terry.

If you join MoCS & i on the Possums of Comedy Tour, we can do a Three Boomers sketch:
"Oh, you were lucky. We use to have grow our psilocybin mushrooms in the bellyflap of a rabid buffalo, chew em up with teeth we rented from the estate of a dead rhinestone miner and play our Jimi Hendrix records with a contraption rigged from a parrot beak, a crippled Sufi & a pig sphincter to have our psychedelic moments..."
