161 - AGREED. I also don't find Monty Python funny. I know the humor isn't totally related, but the fanbase tends to be. I feel like the jokes are the kind of jokes some of my friends tell and I laugh at just to be polite. A whole movie of that is AGONIZING.

I also hate how people imply that Monty Python/Mel Brooks is some kind of more "sophisticated/intelligent" humor, and therefore superior. I'm an intelligent person -- I sometimes get sick of being intelligent. I do not want to have to think before I laugh. Thinking = misery, misery =/= laughing. So, give me stupid humor. NOW.

And you know what? That's okay! There's plenty of humor I don't get or enjoy. Sometimes I think most people who enjoy Mel Brooks are either older, or have older parents/relatives who introduced them to it early on, so a lot of those kids grow up enjoying it partly because they associate it with their family.

Although, Blazing Saddles does have that one scene full of farting. Farting is always funny. :3

Man I can't even comprehend anyone thinking Mel Brooks' humour is intelligent. Admittedly I'm one of those older people who grew up with him but part of the charm of a movie like Blazing Saddles is how juvenile and silly it is. A lot of the jokes are references to things that younger people may not "get" but it's far from sophisticated, it's just from a different time period is all.

THANK YOU.

I don't mind Monty Python (but then, all I'm going on is my experience from a few episodes of the Flying Circus [even then it's mostly for the bard/minstrel] and the Holy Grail movie, so I'm probably not versed enough to make that decision), but it's not something I get excited about.

But yeah, I don't know why Mel Brook and Monty Python usually are lumped as higher humour when Mel Brooks stuff to me just seems like "lame dad" humour and Monty Python is mostly British physical humour/slapstick.

Sorry for the tangent... I'm just glad at least SOMEONE isn't responding with something like, "But why?" to my secret.

I don't see Monty Python as higher humor, more as an ecclectic ragbag of jokes and premises. Some of it is hysterical and some is just "Meh." Since it's a collaboration between 5 different guys, there's bound to be some hits and misses.

Life of Brian, however, is sublime satire and commentary. I like that movie better than Holy Grail. Every religion should have a Life of Brian poking fun at itself. It'd be way healthy for the soul.
