This scene sends me into a laughing rage every time I see it. Partly because it is hilarious, and partly because I remember my late Parents reaction when they saw it. They were both 82. My Dad was laughing so hard I had to turn up the volume, Mom was laughing so hard she was crying and begging me to turn it off so she could catch her breath. My Parents had a twisted sense of humor and they passed it on to all 6 kids. Every night in the 1970's and early 1980's we ate dinner together and had a blast cracking each other up with off-beat humor about our day. It wasn't a joke telling session, it was just a skewed, funny banter about everyday events. Now my siblings and I are approaching senior citizen status, we get together quite often, and it's the same thing. Our kids are just as twisted as my parents were. I would go so far as to say we continuously have the funniest family get togethers ever. It was really fun watching our kids bring a future husband or wife to the table. Of course they'd be nervous, but in no time they caught on. Now there are more than 30 of us good-hearted, twisted individuals. All because my Parents saw the funny side of things. Isn't life grand?

I remember watching the very first episode of Monty Python on TV in 1969 and going to school the next day. Some of us gathered in the playground to talk and one said "Did you see that Monty Python thing on telly last night. What was that all about?" We all looked at each other. We had been expecting a circus with trapeze artists and lions and stuff. Nobody spoke for a moment or two. That sort of awkward silence when nobody wants to be the first to say what everybody is thinking. Eventually, somebody said: "Funny though, wasn't it..?" and we all started talking about the sketches and moments later we were all falling about laughing. Never missed .an episode after that. Monty Python has made me laugh for more than 50 years. Sheer genius.

The most fun people had working for Monty Python was, in fact, hearing the crazy shit that everyone was saying with every take. A brilliant example of this amazing improve skill is the "Biggus Dickus" scene in Life of Brian, in which the extras were only told to stand there and not laugh.

I love how, as Arthur delivers his soliloquy about the Lady Of The Lake, Dennis gets this "is this guy for real?" expression on his face.

to be honest, if a moistened bint throws a scimitar at you and you live to tell the tale, you deserve to be a king

“Watery tart” and “moistened bint” have got to be two of the funniest phrases ever used-especially “bint,” which isn’t American, but which Palin charges with such contempt and disgust that you feel its power _immediately._

I've always thought the word was "bink".

Bint. It comes from the Arabic word for a woman. It was started by British soldiers in Arabic countries to refer to the local women they had on the side, mistresses. It evolved to be a contemptuous term for a woman.

ICYMI, "tart", in the United States, also does not refer to women. The word is only used to describe pastry.
