When I first moved to the UK I did not really understand the humor of Monty Python on the Tele. After a few months in the UK and then understanding their humor I was a total fan of Monty Python and everything they did in movies. They were geniuses of humor and oddly highly educated in the extreme. Perhaps that was the source of their genius in comedy. They were smart people.
I learned that in Britain "chemist" means "pharmacist."
And that their phone booths are red.
I can say the same about Python humor and The Goodies as well.
