Monty Python and the Holy Grail was the first movie I saw totally wacked out on pot and I walked out of the theater with my ribs hurting for the next two days from laughing so hard!! Since that time there hasn't been a comedy that I have enjoyed as much!!
Terry Staunton says
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life is comedic genius, within the confines of the film and what has gone before.
Taken in isolation, either on a football terrace or as a "wacky" last song at a disco, it's as crass and pointless as a Jim Davidson video.
Funny needs context. The greats always knew that (Richard Pryor, Bill Hicks, Lenny Bruce, Woody Allen). Adam Sandler does not.

It is well used in the context of Spamalot too which surprised me. I went to see it for my birthday and laughed and laughed and laughed and sang Always Look on the Bright Side of Life and gave a standing ovation. Brilliant. I just love where they find the grail - but I won't give it away. Monty Python fans will not be disappointed.
In what ways does Adam Sandler not use context?

Another great comedy is Woody Allen's debut as a screenwriter: What's New Pussycat. An added benefit is Peter Seller's hilarious rendition of a Viennese psychoanalyst obsessed with his female patients and terrorized by his obese domineering opera singing wife.

I use Monty Python as a credibility conversation. Meaning; if someone thinks they are funny , or smart or learned in the comedic arts. The Python always serves as a Hallmark. All Hail the Inquisition.

By all rights, I shouldn't like this movie, but I do, but that should be no surprise, as I've already expressed my love for Monty Python. I love the way it skewers those who blindly follow religion, in any of its guises. To those who are offended by this movie, all I have to say is:
"Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!"
