Monty Python would never be allowed to do comedy in Britain today. They would offend too many people. 🔊

Sometimes I think we’re in the matrix and we’re living inside a Monty Python movie

This is such a stupid fucking post when you consider that Life of Brian was banned by many local authorities in the UK when it came out but today it is available on demand on most major streaming services at the touch of a button. Would it be too much for you morons to think before posting?

This scene—hilarious as it is—is actually the perfect representation of Orwell’s famous quote: “It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy.”

@nocontext_paul They foretold the future…

Weirdly enough it got banned temporarily when it came out and now it's aired on TV without a problem Think you've got your timelines mixed up

They can only show it after 10pm now when the liberals have gone to bed 😂

Sad but true, @JohnCleese ?

That's what I'm going to miss most about the British: they had the best comedy. RIP UK

So how come it's so widely available to watch in Britain today?

That’s why the internet became the new Ministry of Silly Walks.

Our society genuinely started dying when people became so soft. People can’t joke about anything anymore. If there is no humor, in what ways can we connect with people?

Your comment is absolutely ridiculous. Of course they could do it again. Because this real humour, not hatred hidden behind false humour.

It was banned by 11 councils when it came out, influenced by evangelical christian organisation, 'National Festival if Light'. Also in the Bible Belt.

Yes but pity @JohnCleese turned out to be such a prick

Well, they offended a whole lot of people then, but by the 80's and 90's it seemed kind of tame... funny how that pendulum swings.

This film was literally banned in many countries when it was first released. Mainly because of offended religious nuts. Today? You can watch it whenever you like.

Defend comedy, save the world.

It's repeated on tv in the UK but was banned when it was made so the scenario you made up in your head is wrong.

There is no way Monty Python would even be a thing today given the blowhard left wing tilt of one of the actors @JohnCleese

let alone Benny Hill...

My mum was a strong Catholic, but I never heard her laugh so much as when she watched Life of Brian. She wasn't offended. Laughter relieves the pressure on us all and opens up conversations. Only narrow minds are offended.

I'd like to bring that humour back, via part of a MPFC fan group, putting together our favourite sketches & performing them for fellow MPFC fans. This is my favourite💙

Laughing conservatives are forbidden now in Britain

you clearly have never left your mums basement

They had a keen insight into the idiocy of the left.

He'd be arrested juat writing the screenplay!!!

I agree. I think the same thing about Blazing Saddles, it isn’t for the weak or non-humorous. 😏

Nonsense! What do you know about the UK, anyway?

Monty Python is comedy gold! Mel Brooks as well. Humanity should get over itself and just have a laugh!
