Reminds me of the "Family Guy" episode where as punishment they made Meg watch "the other 178 hours of Monty Python that wasn't funny". To which she responded, "I'm a girl! I don't even think the funny python skits are funny".

I has friends in college that absolutely loved Monty Python, they had all the movies and bootlegged episodes and would watch them over and over, laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes, and then they would endlessly quote the various punch lines and catch phrases. Personally, I never "got" it, I found some of it to be mildly amusing, perhaps a chuckle here and there, but nothing that I would consider side splitting funny.

Personal taste I guess....

I remember when I went back to the city for visits in the early and mid seventies my friends would sit me in front of some Python thing and they would rip a gut laughing and I would smile on cue.

I understand Firesign theater records were funny when high on illegal substances. Since I didn’t, it wasn’t.

She probably watched Jabberwocky. There were some good movies and some not so good movies.

During my formative years, I watched their weekly show on my parent's black and white TV so I understand their humor. My parents didn't know how risque they could be and the occasional nude scenes. A shocker for a 13 year old boy. Lol.
