Every Sperm is Sacred is a crack-up :) Sketches are what the Pythons do best, that\'s why I love Flying Circus most of all, because [i]that\'s[/i] the medium that their sketches shine best in, but as a movie I think that set-up fails. If it\'s just some pretty great sketches mixed with some pretty crap ones, I don\'t particularly enjoy them trying to cobble it into a full-length movie and find some sort of \"theme\" to try to tie them together. When I think of what\'s great about Meaning of Life, I think of singular moments - this sketch or that sketch was great (I have a ridiculous love of the where\'s the fish sequence that I have absolutely no explanation for) but as a unit it is not good. It\'s less than the sum of its parts, if you catch my drift. That is rather a let down for Python, the poor old innovative, subversive boys are now cuddly faces of respectable comedy. Aside from Gilliam, probably. He\'s still as sharp and rather unmainstream as ever. I don\'t see how isn\'t just a broad satire of religion though, nothing they satirize to me screams that it\'s specifically anti-Christ in sentiment. Brian to me isn\'t the sort of laugh out loud kind of funny, not that I do that much anyways, except for scenes like Biggus Dickus, but I [i]do[/i] think it is clever and the satire still rings very true. I think more than anything it\'s the more British of the two, between it and Holy Grail. The humor is wit more than anything else and you don\'t really laugh out as much. As I said, I do prefer Holy Grail, and it\'s hard to compare to the anarchist peasants scene, which is one of [i]the[/i] great Python moments imo. But how many people do you can make a latin lesson witty if not laugh out loud funny. And \"He\'s not the Messiah, he\'s a very naughty boy\"? Arguably one of comedic cinema\'s greatest lines. The Loretta scene still kills me. Biggus Dickus, as you mentioned. One overlooked bits is the other prophets\' lines in the market place, but I giggle like an idiot at the prophet going on about loosing things. The moral\'s a bit cheesy but it lends itself to that great moment where that one voice daring to say it\'s not different is told to shut up. *shrug* I dunno, maybe I\'m not a [i]great[/i] judge of comedy, I mean, David Mitchell is my current comedic crush, and his comedy basically amounts to intellectual but slightly absurd rants and topical satire, and only a tiny bit of sketch show on the side, and most people I know wouldn\'t consider him funny. We can both agree that Holy Grail is great though, so it\'s all good.
