Is that latin sentence 100% correct, mikhail? What does capul mean? Don't you mean caput? Because I think it says: "I've got a catapult. Unless you give me all the money I'll throw a giant rock at your head."

I'll take your word for it. The only latin I know comes from two sources: the English language and Monthy Python! Overeducated sod.

Monty Python is great.

"Send the Romans home!" - "That's grammatically incorrect. For punishment you're going to write that a thousand times"

"Romanes eunt domus? People called Romanes they go the house?"

"The Romans go home" was what he was trying to write I think. Now I never had to make Latin sentences myself, I just had to translate them, but I believe the correct version would be "Romani eunt domum".

Sounds about right. The Roman soldier did complain about the case.

Given how side-splittingly funny I found that sketch, I've always wondered what it was like for people who had to endure the very Latin lessons they were parodying. Comic genius.

Those Latin lessons were all pretty horrible indeed .
At least the grammar and stuff. Roman philosophy and myths are rather interesting. Although I have to say I liked Greek better. The language is way harder than Latin, but it's so much more sophisticated. I wonder how many of us wanted to kill that Roman soldier.

Life of Brian is hilarious, but I like the Holy Grail better. That's quite possibly the funniest movie I've ever seen. The rabbit on itsself, was brilliant.

That's pretty much considered a crime I'm afraid. They really took humour to another level.

Does anyone remember bicycle repair man ?

I love that movie. "We demand... a shrubbary" I have the whole collection at home - a little box of cheer on a rainy day.

I'm going to split this thread. Monthy Python deserves that much at least!

:LOL:

Well done gray or Martin, about time

It's not all that easy though. I recall some people having trouble seeing the fun of it. But I guess you get that more with this sort of humour.

"Who's that?"

"Must be a king"

"Why?"

"Cause he hasn't got shit all over him"

Btw, I have seen some of them, I just remember some of them, like the Dead Parrot sketch and some others.

Yeah, you do get that a bit. Still, most people seem to get it.

Anyone know if it's popular in the US? They seem to have different standards of funny.

Have you seen their lessons about "How NOT to be seen"?? hilarious.

Love them. They're another example of something the Pythons did like no one else - take the piss out of something intimately British, in this case the public information films.

watched the life of brian on sunday and the holy grail yesterday.


hilarious though i was a bit disappointed after hearing so much about them i expected something extraordinary.

You speak Latin Acies?

Lovely.

My best phrase remains Timeo Danaos et dona ferrentes, and no I don't speak Latin.

"I fear the Greek and the gifts they carry" - It's a classic .
