Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
policy134 Every comedian today has been inspired by Monty Python in some way but if you look at this hour long show it's a wonder why Monty Python were ever successful. This was made a year before "Flying Circus" minus the two Terries and Eric Idle.There are some amusing skits here and there like the "Fake consideration" skit with Cleese going on and on of making sure that Connie Booth (his sweetheart at the time) is comfortable but they only produce mild giggles and to that the "Indian Restaurant" skit is embarrassing is understatement to the max.The "Job Interview" which was recreated in "Circus" truly doesn't work with an actor other than Graham Chapman and it's a darn shame that I saw this after "Circus" because it has tainted that absolutely hilarious skit. If I had seen this first I might have felt differently but I think that it is so poorly timed and executed that it's a wonder they did indeed recreate it in "Circus".So if you want to preserve the memory of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" as the truly innovative and the most hilarious comedy series ever, please do not watch this. It's a waste of time.
DrQuuxum The show as a whole fell kind of flat. The acting seems a bit uninspired at times, and there isn't that Python-ish chemistry that later appeared.However, two sketches do stand out; the "Airline Pilots" sketch, where Chapman, Cleese, and Palin take turns abusing their passengers; the other being the "Management Training Course Interview" where Cleese gets Brooke-Taylor to perform some humiliating stunts.
dbennett79 This is really the Python's First Film, although it's missing a few of the real Pythonites (namely, the cartoon guy.) Many of the sketches in this are reminiscent to sketches from the TV series, including my favorite, which I call the dead car sketch: a man comes into an auto repair shop, insisting that his car has trouble. The proprietor insists that there's "never no trouble with those." The car's owner goes on to prove that the car has trouble, but the shop's owner just wants to go to lunch. Sound familiar? It reminded me of the famous "Dead Parrot" sketch. My other favorite from this show was the "Airline Pilots" sketch, about what really goes on in the cockpit during a flight. ("The wings are not on fire.") and ("The skrill must be released!") A must-view for any Monty Python fan or budding irritator. Believe it or not, I came away with some knowledge on how to deal with bullies. First, react in certain organized ways... (OOOH! Ahh. Well, I never! >smack smack smack<)
Sam1023 This movie is so funny. It has a bunch of people that are just irriating people. My favorite is the one were there is this old lady on a game show that keeps saying she wants a battleship. I must see for anyone.
