Is this getting downvoted because people didn't catch the Monty Python joke? Or because they didn't like this specific reference (but accept the parent's reference)?

It might be because a movie reference that's relevant to the conversation at hand can be humorous, but a movie reference in response to another movie reference is just regurgitating a script. The child comment doesn't really add anything to the conversation other than "I saw that popular movie as well."
