No, I've never seen that one before--thanks! I just think Rowan Atkinson has the BEST delivery.

Was checking on Amazon--the Collector's set is 80-flippin-dollars. Gah, too rich for my blood.

Heh! Yeah--I think it's kinda worth it, seeing as it's ALL the seasons, plus extra stuff like Christmas Carol and Back and Forth (which I still have never seen)...but maybe just not that damn expensive.

If I still haven't gotten it by the time the holidays roll back around (doubtful), there's my present, right there.

Am I pleased to see you, or did I just put a canoo in my pocket? Down boy, down:

Well good sir I believe that Monty Python my very well be the greatest thing to ever come out of Britain (and that includes Darwin, Shakespeare, Orwell, T. S. Eliot, The Entire British Invasion period of music and Sir Laurence Olivier!).

However, these two pages are not really about "English Comedy" I'm afraid. They are supposed to be about Mr. Bean - so any talk of Monty Python would be severly OT. So I won't do it.

I won't even say the Monty Python and the Holy Grail might be my favorite movie - ever. And let me just wrap up by saying this:

"Well, first of all I'd like to apologize for the behaviour of certain of my colleagues you may have seen earlier, but they are from broken homes, circus families and so on and they are in no way representative of the new modern improved British Navy. They are a small vociferous minority... and may I take this opportunity of emphasizing that there is no cannibalism in the British Navy. Absolutely none, and when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than we are prepared to admit, but all new ratings are warned that if they wake up in the morning and find tooth marks at all anywhere on their bodies, they're to tell me immediately so that I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up. And, finally, necrophilia is *right out*."

King Arthur: How does it... um... how does it work?
Sir Lancelot: I know not, my liege.
King Arthur: Consult the Book of Armaments.
Brother Maynard: Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.
Cleric: [reading] And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths, and carp and anchovies, and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit-bats and large chu...
Brother Maynard: Skip a bit, Brother...
Cleric: And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
Brother Maynard: Amen.
All: Amen.
King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.
Galahad: Three, sir.
King Arthur: Three.

Sami..

I LOVE the Young Ones. I watched them for the 1st time as a teenager. I would LOVE to order the DVD set.

Another favorite is "Red Dwarf." It took me a while to get used to it, but then I fell in love.

I had an ex who

'd RD as well and would quote it regularly (which can get kinda annoying when you've actually never HEARD of what he was saying). I never watched it but would if it was on tv or something.
