I’m getting the sinking feeling watching season 1 of Monty Python on Netflix that the show is small bits of funny combined with large tracts of unfunny. And I’m pretty sure it’s not just my American sensibilities, because the audience also seems to be rather mystified about what the writers could possibly have thought of as being funny in a skit. I know many later comic acts and writers trace their genesis to having experienced Monty Python, but not much of this seems all that durable.

Speaking for myself, a lot of Python’s comedy was enhanced by, umm, substances.
