Comic Genesis Forums

I think his comic was just the words "Taa Daa!"... which isn't really a very good comic.

I dunno, I kinda chuckled...wait, that's just the Turkey Day trytophans...or how ever the hell they're spelled...

The comic's for tomorrow...

And it's ready!!!

oh dear. i read this thread about an hour or two ago, and i still have "i'm a lumberjack" stuck in my head. weeeee o_O

All right all right, what's all this then! Get on with it or I'll bite you.

F'TANG F'TANG!

Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done!

I watched that things first in... hm, what year was it? 86'-87', I think.
Why isn't John Cleeze apearing in "History of balooning"?

Eep! I wasn't even born until '87 It looks like I have missed a classic worth seeing!

'87!?

Uh oh. You're gonna regret having mentioned that. Here come the wise-cracking hoardes...

Everyone who said her avatar was cute is now a pedophile pervert.

Way to go, perverts.

Hey, that's enough out of you, Mr. I-don't-watch-Monty-Python.

So, 15, right? Yeah, you did miss the show worth watching, unless if you've seen reruns or something.

I am most certainly familiar with Monty Python! It's one of the funniest shows ever created! But I've never seen the episode with the forementioned lumberjack song. Did someone post the title yet by any chance? I'll try to download it.

Isn't that "The Holy Grail" movie? I never saw, either, but it's all I hear about when someone mentions that movie.

I have every episode of Flying Circus on DVD...

The infamous Lumber Jack song originally aired on Episode 9, which was called "The Ant, an Introduction", but it's far easier to find in the movie "And Now For Something Completely Different", which is sort of a "Best of" Monty Python. (Though it doesn't have the Spanish Inquisition...)

You lucky bastard...

"NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"

On the top ten list of things 665 hates:

-People who think quoting Monty Python is witty.

Well damn. There goes my wit.

You know, I don't think I've ever met another 665 reader online. Odd, that.

Y'know, by that argument, quoting anything isn't really witty. True wit, of course, lies in originality, and as such you aren't actually making it up yourself, you're just regurgitating stuff you've heard from someone else. People do this all day long with obscure things they've heard other people say, the difference is when it's something like Monty Python, everyone's perfectly aware of the fact that the person saying it... isn't being original at all. But at least they aren't passing it off as their own work.

I'm constantly amazed by how often I see jokes stolen almost directly from a Monty Python sketch, and changed just enough to where it was instantly recognizable. There was a Nickelodeon commercial that bastardized the Spanish Inquisition gag in such a way that it actually began my cycle of losing all respect for that network. I'll take someone who quotes, doing an impression of true wit than someone who's trying to change it to something else and pass it as wit of their own.
