This is probably 40 years old now, funny and gross, in the Monty Python way.

Hey it's Saturday night.

I read somewhere that 100 gallons of oatmeal were used for that scene. I hope not too many takes were needed! haha

File that under: Too gross to watch more than once.

I’m a big fan of Monty Python’s flying circus but I disliked that movie and especially because of that awful scene. ‘The Holy Grail’ was great but ‘The meaning of life’ and ‘The Life of Brian’ both pretty much sucked.

I was a little confused. Tomorrow is 78 years ago they dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima.

Love it! Whenever I’m a little blue I watch it to cheer me up.

Seeing the headline, I at first thought it was Chris Christie bloviating about Trump again.

No mention of Chris Christie, but the headline seems to infer the article is about him.

I have loved Monty Python since I was a kid. Classic British humor.

I see it as a metaphor for Big Government.

Each item on the menu is another government program.

“I was a little confused. Tomorrow is 78 years ago they dropped Little Boy on Hiroshima.”

I thought the same thing. The timing is Pythonesque.

I used to have LP albums of Monty Python back in the 70s.
I enjoyed a lot of their skits, but this one, I always found to be sickening. I saw it once. I made sure not to be around to ever see that scene again.
