Speaking of no sense of humor: The other day I was watching some Monty Python - both Flying Circus and Holy Grail. My 7 year old son said this is just weird and not funny. I have failed as a parent.

But I cut off your bloody arm!

With an attitude like that he’d best watch out for African swallows.

Maybe Firesign Theater is more his speed.  “Antelope Freeway one mile”.   LOL. :)

While I enjoyed 'Dwarf' best...

What is apathy?

Who cares?

'Bozos' had the "American Dream"...a bureaucratic dystopia...could never happen here...right!?*

Their wordplay acrobatics, puns, social commentary and satire opened the door for many others to follow...like Python.

Surreal and totally immersive...  Far out.  Vinyl was fun listening.  Digital, today, just doesn't translate...that or life has changed me.

  * Speaking of Bozo and Monty Python...the 1985 movie Brazil is about a dark-comedy dystopian future that focuses on government bureaucracy and a dream.  It was directed by Python's Terry Gilliam.  It included actors Robert DeNiro, Kim Greist, Sir Michael Palin, and other greats.  I loved it.  My wife did not.

Do not think that Brazil is Boys from Brazil.  Despite its title, the film is not about the country Brazil nor does it take place there; it is named after the recurrent theme song, Ary Barroso's "Aquarela do Brasil", known simply as "Brazil" to British audiences, as performed by Geoff Muldaur. (Per Wiki.)
