SnoopyStyle The legendary troupe performs in the legendary venue. It's got many of their best skits including excerpts from their TV show. Their fans are having loads of fun and enjoying the "Atmosphere". This was my first exposure to Monty Python back in the day. The best was that this was all new to me. I didn't see the TV show. This is laugh after laugh after laugh which the TV show is not always. The TV show is hit and miss like a modern day SNL but edgier. It's also obvious that the performers are having fun like Cleese going into the crowd selling Albatross and telling the crowd that they can't smoke that. It's got great energy and endless fun. I recently watched it again on Netflix and it holds up. Other than a few deliberate racist jokes, it's as good as ever. As an adult, I get fresh eyes to see some of the jokes. Quite frankly, I'd show this first to any newbie Python virgins.
s_albert ...And already Colin is working on that weak left knee of his...I wish comedy like this was still being produced. From the wrestling skit to The Last Supper where Michaelangelo (Idle) is trying to convince the pope (Cleese) to flesh out the painting with 28 disciples and 3 Christs, to Silly Olympics and the Marathon for Incontinents, to International Philosophy where the great German thinkers take on the Greeks for a match of contemplative football, and of course The Four Yorkshiremen who take "when I was a child" exaggerations of hardship to the ridiculous level like only they could, and my personal favorite: Little Red Riding Hood who daintily kicks down trees and uses their lumber to wipe her nose while she's gnawing on a shank of meat.And amidst all of this lunacy is an attention to detail and authenticity that transform a collection of satires into a masterpiece.
Sean Lamberger Talk about the perfect relationship between a comedy troupe at the top of their game and an audience that's precisely in-tune with them. The Pythons didn't have a long window of acceptance in the States, but they made the most of it with performances like this one. Uproariously funny, and even though I knew which skits were coming up just by the slightest bits of foreshadowing (and could telegraph them word for word in some cases) I was still laughing until it hurt. I think most of the California crowd was in pretty much the same place that night. An unbelievable performance that makes me really sad I never had a chance to see the Pythons live.
chrisjgray2000 The Plot:Six men who are famous for their television sketch comedy show known as "Monty Python's Flying Circus", preform some of their favourite sketches in font of a live audience in Hollywood.Review:No doubt that fans will love this and others may get a giggle or two if they watch this, but to enjoy all of it they need to need to be either drunk, in a really laughing mood or watch it with friends who find this hilarious. ***
