anything new out there like Monty Python?
you know, hilarious, skit based, quirky, off beat comedy, delivered amazingly, with needing to resort to swearing, or penis/vagina jokes?
(I'm not upset because I am asking a question, I'm not a prude against penis/vagina jokes... just seeking a modern Python troupe)
No of course not. Monty Python would be cancelled today. Racist ! Sexist ! Anti LGBTQHIA etc etc.
No there is not. They were unique, one of a kind, their like shall not be seen again.
🤨
No
I've seen all they have. Hit or miss. But I do love "The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash" which I haven't seen for over a decade.
I'm a guy who has always like comedy, but I have to say that MP usually didn't tickle my funny bone, though the holy grail and life of brian did have some great bits. A lot of their stuff, though, seemed like a reach.
shareI totally understand, it's not for everyone. Just wondered if anyone newer has tredded these waters yet. I enjoy their wacky, zany concepts.
shareWell, if you want really bizarre, there's Tim & Eric :

And this is mild, for them.
that doesn't do it for me.
reminds me of the new wave of "comedy" that wants to exist by simply being weird. nothing laughable to me, just do weird things.
delivery was very amateur here to me. i didn't laugh, smirk or even smile once.
but comedy is pretty personal, really.
yeah. i like absurdist humor. which isn't that removed from monty python. their schtick is, in part, parodying schlocky 80-era commercials, and gross-out stuff. the amateurishness is intentional.
shareis that what is known as absurdist? serious question, I really don't know. I totally get how people love it though, and I am not knocking it at all. :) Everyone has things they like.
another style that is not for me (yet I am not against it in any way) is comedians who just F Bomb non-stop, louder or softer, just saying it so much, doesn't not make it a JOKE to me. sometimes it fits fine, but just swearing a lot doesn't have a build up and delivery for me.
I like Bill Burr... he swears a lot, but not non-stop like the last Chris Rock I saw. He's just an example. I like Chris Rock too sometimes, but too much swearing feels like lazy filler.
I did understand the amateur delivery part - like those crappy almost home made advertisements with a $4.99 budget, but the content wasn't funny enough to me. still, I get it. We're all different. :)
no respect for the f-bombers and vulgarians - its not even that funny. unless it was norm macdonald doing it :)
shareFLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS reminds of Python style humor.
And I'm usually not thrilled with "musical humorists"
OOOH! I forgot!
Flight of the Conchords -- kinda gives me the Python content/setup/delivery jokes vibes.
