For all Monty Python fans and followers of Brian..

Saw my first Monty Python in 1974, while switching channels, watched a few minutes then switched channels.
PBS kept running it, I watched half a program-"What is this about?"
I had to watch several episodes before I figured out 'it's about us.' our silly existence in a world few of us can grasp, or really
want too.
We better have a sense of humor, to cope with our stupidity.
 

Yes, that was about the same time found them , but sorry to say it took quite awhile for me to understand anything they said! I've come a long way since then....at least with actors.
 
"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay,"

It was difficult to make out what the grotesque ladies were saying, except Cleese.

Talk about a classic comedy 'Fawlty Towers.'

Also, the 'Black Adder'-what were there four of them, loved first two, the third (I think) with the silly queen and her nurse
with the udder problem were off target.

The last Black Adder in WW I, (two separate series of just the one?) with Black Adder dealing with Captain Darling and the General were good; especially, after Black Adder had played every behavior possible to avoid, we left Black Adder and Capt Darling as they went ' over the top,' .

You have to watch "The life of Brian" to understand the quote - spoken by Brian'd mum. It's all about a boy named Brian who is mistaken for a messiah and can't convince his followers that he's just an ordinary guy.
