I going to go out on a limb here, because I know that a lot of people think it is one of the greatest comedy classics of all time, but I really hated Monty Python's Life of Brian.

It was sacreligious, vulgar, and obscene.

Now, I love Mel Brooks and I love "South Park" which are also sacreligious, vulgar and obscene, why did I hate "Life of Brian"?

thinks hard....

Ummm...Brits can't do Jewish humor?

Since you are being really polite about your objections to Life of Brian it's pretty hard to hurl flames at you. I won't do that.

What I will do is point out that only twice in the movie is Jesus portrayed:

The first being when the 3 wise men realize they have given their gifts to the wrong child in the wrong manger (Brian) and run to the manger next door where obviously something of a very miraculous nature is taking place.

The second is where you see Jesus in the distance giving the Sermon on the Mount and the people on the very fringe can't hear him.

"Oh, the meek! He said blessed are the meek! That's nice that they're gettin' something. They have a hell of a time."

I do remember reading an interview with one of the Python's (I think it was Michael Palin) where he basically said that they were very sensitive about the having any laughs at The Lord's expense.
