I don't know why this is a secret. Even John Cleese and Michael Palin have said as much in various interviews. Plus we've lost a lot of social context for some of the sketches, they were very much tied into the politics and social mores of the day. Comedy is like that, not many jokes have the staying power over the long run simply because attitudes change (and the forerunners of any change are always cruder and less refined than their followers simply due to the latter being able to build upon the foundation laid by the former).

It's probably a secret because there are fans who will go the HOW DARE YOU INSULT THE THING I LIKE butthurt route and send hate mail to your Tumblr.

Just easier all around to say it anonymously.

Most bodies of work are uneven, and humour is subjective anyway.

"I don't know why this is a secret."

Really? You can't possibly fathom why the OP might not want to enter into a debate about the quality of one of the most popular comedy groups of all time?
