while it hasn't aged the best, it is quiet entertaining

I never totally connected with Holy Grail though I liked/like it a lot. I probably to put Life of Brian at the top of the heap although it’s probably somewhat less known.

  No no, The Meaning of Life is the best one, how can there be any doubt of that! "Every sperm is sacred..." (https://youtu.be/fUspLVStPbk https://youtu.be/fUspLVStPbk) or "Can we have your liver?" (https://youtu.be/Sp-pU8TFsg0 https://youtu.be/Sp-pU8TFsg0) :)

  This isn't an argument, it's just contradiction.

don't really understand the down votes, but I am very open to hearing why it seems to be a controversial statement. the show has some bigoted scenes and I am not defending that, obviously. I am simply talking about how I like the creative premises of the absurdist comedy

    oh I see, I am talking about The Flying Circus, not the movie. The casual use of slurs is jarring to me personally

      Still cannot remember of any bigoted use of slurs in Monty Python's work.

  The downvotes are probably because there's no justification. If you want to say that some masterpiece from the past "hasn't aged well", you need to back that opinion with some arguments or facts. Also the typo ("quiet" instead of "quite") and the absence of capitals at the beginning of sentences, or points at the end, give out a general impression of carelessness.

apologies, I am talking about the Flying Circus, not Holy Grail, which I should have clarified on my original comment. obviously the group has done some groundbreaking work and I do love that, but sensibilities have definitely changed since then. I don't hold that against them, but it can be jarring to see

  Are you sure that being sensitive in those terms would be a good idea, and not instead be giving value to lower reactions? You should judge a fair assessment of reality, not a self-fed "sensation".
