If you ask most Americans what they know about the British Broadcasting Corporation, they'll probably come up with three things: Doctor Who, boring news about countries we don't care about, and Monty Python's Flying Circus. Or, more likely, just the latter. Monty Python has transcended all barriers of class and culture, and even us lowly colonials enjoy it.* Millions of Americans won't think you're a lunatic if you randomly start shouting, "Ni! Ni!" They know that after a large meal, the last thing you want is a "waaaahfer-thin mint." They can tell you the proper response if a guy dances up to you and starts slapping you in the face with tiny fish. America has been Pythonized.
Well, okay, maybe not millions of Americans. Thousands, at least. Somebody's gotta be buying all those tickets to Spamalot.
Or at least that's how things used to be. Now it's 2018, so Monty Python stinks because they're all middle-class white males and most of them aren't LGBTQRSTUV.

ReplyDeleteQuite evidently they did not pay attention to the lumberjack sketch...
