freeclimb9 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I've been re-watching DVDs of the first two seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus with my kids. It brings back a lot of memories of watching them with my own parents. But it also amazes me how many of their silly recurring jokes and skit lines have made it into everyday conversation. ALBATROSS!

Scott_J Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Watch it. You are going to get kids like mine. They are in their 20s now and have weird sense of humor. Introduce them to Faulty Towers, Mr. Bean, the Black Adder, etc. If not too wee go ahead and show them House 1 and House 2, Oblivion, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Pine Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 You guys should be reported to CPS! There's nothing worse than some self-important "iconoclast" who thinks they are so much better just because they "like" dorky british humour. You are going to raise kids who don't laugh, but instead "chuckle with delight". Barf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al_Pine Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Oh hee hee hee. Brilliant! Most Merkins don't fancy to our type of humour. Possibly because they're thick? Oh, priceless. Hee hee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
