And Now For Something Completely Different DVD

Advantages: Very silly
Disadvantages: Very silly

And now for something completely different. A very silly film. It is silly, but it is funny. It's a Monty Python film! I havn't seen all of the episodes of the Flying Circus, and apparently, alot of the scenes in this film are taken from the Flying Circus. So with this you can see two shows in one! Incase you didn't know, Monty Python's Flying Circus is a show that was on TV some decades ago. It consisted of comedy sketches and crazy cartoons made ...
...Jones, Terry Gilliam and Graham Chapman. This film consistes of some of the best sketches and cartoons from the series including the Dead Parrot Sketch, Twit of the Year, The Funniest Joke in the World, Hell's Grannies and the Lumberjack Song and many, many more! Any fan of the Pythons or just British humour in general will love this, the first more so, although lots of the sketches are abit OTT with the sillyness, imo. So if you don't like silly ...

Advantages: A collection of all the great Monty Python movies
Disadvantages: Some movies, ie., Monty Python and the Meaning of Life, have no extra features

...found it unfunny mostly, and a waste of time. I have only seen it once, and that was when I first watched it after purchasing this DVD box set.

Advantages: Very funny
Disadvantages: Doesn't include all the best moments

...The Pythons, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and Graham Chapman, put together a comedy TV show called Monty Python's Flying Circus. The show consisted of comedy sketches written and performed by the troupe, bizarre animations and random songs dropped in for no apparant reason. Since all the Pythons have written and contributed, there is a wide variety of styles and jokes, giving something for everyone. The show was a huge success and so the group put together this 'film' of some of the best moments. The sketches, despite being extremely varied, manage to flow together, with Terry Jones's animations to help merge scenes on completely different subjects. This film is a laugh from beginning to end, including the Dead Parrot Sketch, Twit of the Year, The Funniest Joke in the World, Hell's Grannies... Read review
