Knock it off! its silly. Right now lets see something decent and military: Some precision Drilling!
"Nobody is free, even the birds are chained to the sky" - Bob Dylan
This brand of, literally, nonsense isn't original to this film either - and I'm sure that the Beatles would never have claimed it was.
The poetry of Edward Lear, Alice in Wonderland, The Goons, the Beatles humour and Monty Python are all variations on a nonsense theme common in British cultural history. Even the individual members of Monty Python had been doing much the same thing earlier in their careers in such programmes as Do Not Adjust Your Set and At Last The 1948 Show.
Agree with John-367
This type of scattered humour was fairly common in England at the time.
Even Monty Python admits their beginnings were strongly influenced by Spike Milligan etc.
I saw similarities between the British Army officer and The Colonel from Monty Python ("This sketch is silly!"). But I think ridiculing the pomposity of British military officers is common in British humor.
George Carlin: It's all bullsh-t and it's bad for ya.
I think there are other Things in this movie that spells Monty Python. For example the sketch with a desk placed in the middle of a field, the flirting and dancing police constables and what about the scene with Ringo`s overweight auntie ? Didn`t that remind anyone out there of Mr. Creosote in The Meaning of Life ? I think Monty Python Owes a lot to this film, even though there were a lot of cross inspiring between many of the upcoming comics of that periode like Marty Feldman, Monty Python and even The Goodies.
