I guess this was a good way for Python to reach new and younger audiences that haven't seen their magic before.
On a side note I'm somewhat surprised to see gizmodo actually call the MPAA and RIAA "a bunch of pricks". Not that it isn't true.
- unalone 18y agoGizmodo is rarely formal. It's nice at times like this, less nice when they raise damaging rumors like they have in the past. Monty Python shows yet again that they're not just funny, they're very bright and very business-savvy.
- likpok 18y agoIIRC some of them (the pythons) met at Oxford. I think at least one may have a higher degree of some sort.
- unalone 18y agoI wouldn't at all be surprised if that was the case. Beyond degrees, though, they advanced comedy in a lot of ways. In two different parts of my life, Holy Grail and Life of Brian changed my attitude of what comedy was capable of doing. Gilliam's Brazil had a similar effect on me. And John Cleese was one of the best writers of his era. Still would be, though I'm not sure how much he writes nowadays.
