      Monty Python is a comedy troupe which is famous world over for its absurdist humour, featured in several movies and a TV series which can be bought on DVD set. They are most well known for “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, “The Life of Brian” and “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” which have jokes that have become popular culture and occasionally resurface in

      satire.

      I really love these three movies, which I have seen several times. Monty Python really deserves the title of “classic”. The humour is absolutely insanely absurd, while making some sharp jabs at the Church and other aspects of our society that need a bit of parody for their own good. For instance in “Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life” there is a family with ...


      • about 100 children. The family sings a classic song “Every Sperm is Sacred / Every Sperm Is Great / If A Sperm Is Wasted / God Gets Quite Irate” which kind of illustrates the Catholic Church’s attitude towards unnecessary sex and skews it into the realms of parody. I couldn’t stop laughing (though I do suppose you have to be there to quite get the
        exaggerated hilarity of it).

        Monty Python and the Holy Grail was rather more absurdist than that, it didn’t really have much “meaning” in it, just absolutely absurd humour. For instance a murderous rabbit and the Holy Hand Grenade, something that has become a cult reference.

        Occasionally Monty Python overextends on the absurdity, my only issue with it, but usually this stuff is absolutely amazing fun to watch, especially with friends.
