Finaly got the wife to sit and watch Monty Python's "The Holy Grail"

[drzaius1]

Is it just me? But for most of my life, I have considered this the funniest movie ever made. I, like most of you guys here, can probably recite most of this move by memory. My wife, on the other hand, couldn't sit through it. She didn't get it, and did not find it funny. I think it's pure genius. Is this a gender thing? To the female members on the board - Do you enjoy this movie? Male members , do your wives or girlfriends enjoy Monty Python?

I've known women who love Python - my older sister for one, who first exposed me to it when she was a teenager and I was a little kid in the 70s.

On the other hand, my wife doesn't "get it" either.

I guess some people just have the silly (walk) gene, some don't..

my wife does not get it either.....my daughter on the other hand loves it

I don't think I've ever met anyone who watched Holy Grail for the first time as an adult and loved it. I love Monty Python, and think Holy Grail is great - but I think it's a time and place thing with that one.

When I was younger I use to double-up with laughter watching it - now I still laugh at parts, but I'm also enjoying myself because of nostalgia.

I think the show might holds up better for adults maybe?

I love it and my husband hates it. In my sister's house, it is one of the kids' favorites.

never saw it before.

never saw it before.

If you watch this, I have a feeling you'll be sculpting the Black Knight and the Trojan rabbit in no time flat.


BTW - Your work is crazy good.

I've only seen it once. I didn't quite get it, although I did see the humor in it. I will watch it again though, mainly to try and "get it".

I have a few pieces from it, the Sideshow Black Knight, a Holy Grail prop toy, and here in my office, a Black Knight sign. Oh, and a can of spam-a-lot limited edition spam!

Ben & Jerry's even did an ice cream for it (with little chocolate cows)!

I think the film is hilarious, and my wife thinks it's stupid. Most of my friend's wives seem to agree with her, but we all love it!

Therefore, I fart in her general direction, silly wiper of other people's bottoms.
Your father was a hamster, and your mother smelled of elderberries!

My wife has no appreciation for it whatsoever. I think of the movie every time things get crazy in Marketplace. Anybody wanna try to guess which line comes to mind?

[boss]

My wife and sister-in-law both love it.

[megojim]

My wife and I both love it. We have seen Spamalot twice!

Is it:

Run away! Run away!

[EMCE Hammer]

Close - "She's a witch! Burn her!"

[TEXASFETT]
