[Svedish_Chef]

Nope.

They released a few... and I have one of them

Yum yum, best of the goodies.

Doesnt have their cover of wild thing though which kinda sucks.

Suits You Sir!

Python was only the beginning (Ya'll all took the lines I loved, so I'm going to turn left here)

Be fair: Fawlty Towers - The Germans:
I'm not allowed to watch it anymore because it still puts me into fits. My family's afraid I'll stop breathing, I laugh so hard.

Oh I KNOW, I KNOW........

And Brilliant is one of my favorite series. The Vicar of Dibley cracks me up. And where they ever came up with Mrs. Bucket (Bouquet)...

Oh and my very favorite is the one about the Scottish airlines -- is that Flying High? Oh, that's priceless! <sticking my arms out like I'm an airplane and twirling around...>

Americans get British humor? NAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH......

I love Monty Python and I even sat through the 22 hour marathon a few years back when they were running Monty Python's Flying Circus.

 

[Juspar Emvan]

Someplace - Nobody mention the war!

Would you like some Eva Braun? er, Prawn, prawn! *smack*

Que?




gothedistance - I do believe it got a mention or three.

HELL YES!! Hehe, well this American does. Generally speaking Monty Python is a geek thing here in the US. I know several people that have most of their movies memorized...heh...not that I'm one of them or anything...hehe

I love their humor and several British sit coms as well.

I've seen all the episodes of Are you being served that they've aired here in the states...love it.

I also remember the old Benny Hill days...good stuff.

A few newer shows I enjoy are Chef, anything Rowen Atkinson...etc...you get the point.

I think overall British humor is more of a thinking mans humor even when it is just silly as hell. To much comedy in America is jut really blunt and obvious...not enough slapstick or plain goofynes anymore.

Well, there's my two cents

 

[Lord Emu]

I also love Benny Hill I grew up watching Benny Hill. I even own Benny Hill tapes.

 

[QuickDuck]

Albatros! Albatros!..... its a bird mate, it bleeding sea bird flavour.... Stormy Petrol on a stick!

 

[Rhys]

No one expects the Spanish Inquisiton!


(oh wait...I probably don't count here...)

 

[Lord Emu]

Speaking of British comedies are there any Red Dwarf fans here?

Holly: Hang on, I'll just check my data bank. Apparently it's a streaky blue missile thing and it's heading towards us. AWOOGA! AWOOGA!!

[Lord Emu]

I heard there's going to be a Red Dwarf movie coming out soon.

 

[red_rose]

I'm not going to read this whole friggin' thread....

I'm just going to say this:

HELL YES, I LOVE MONTY PYTHON!


does a silly walk back out of the thread...

 

[QuickDuck]

I heard there's going to be a Red Dwarf movie coming out soon.

yes i have heard that too... i am tempted to be rather cautious about it though.

 

[Private Vasquez]

Do Americans like What??

 

[Lord Emu]

Black Adder rules and Black Adder's Christmas Carol is super funny.

 

[red_rose]
