I think you just covered about 70% of monty python for me.
I think much of it falls under "if I have to explain to you, you won't get it".
FWIW, I get (and like) a lot of british humour, but really not much of MP.
- mcbits 8y agoI think the humor comes from the shock and incongruity of a "battle" where he's brutally murdering innocent civilians and clueless guards for no reason. He probably could have just sauntered past them all. It's called the WTFLOL Effect (no Wikipedia entry yet).
