whenever i think of monty python, i think of the family guy bit where they torture meg by making her watch the other 90% of the show that isnt funny or memorable, which is my exact experience whenever i saw flying circus on pbs as a kid

2023-04-20 02:05:16 +0000 UTCI play DnD with a group of guys and every single time someone moves away from an enemy someone says, "brave Sir Robin" etc. and they all laugh and I just smile and nod. Edit: also, whenever we ask the DM how much something weighs, someone quickly turns it into a "joke" about an "unladen swallow" which I can only assume is some other Monty Python nonsense

2023-04-19 21:49:37 +0000 UTCMonty Python quoters are supremely irritating. What is it about nerds that compels them to substitute Holy Grail or Hitchhiker’s quotes in place of a real sense of humor? I still encounter this in D&D groups and it drives me INSANE. I quote Simpsons from time to time but I notice when people reference those they almost work like idioms. You can drop “I hope someone got fired for that blunder!” and it gives context for how you feel about a situation. Simpson’s quotes are never like, “Ni! Ni! Forty-two! Spam! Remember that? I saw the movie, too. Please laugh! PLEASE!”
