The answer is obviously 100% The Meaning Of Life, but I am willing to consider arguments for Life of Brian.
At 91 minutes Holy Grail is actually 3 minutes shorter than Life of Brian; shortest Monty Python movie in fact.Baffle2 said:Life of Brian for me. Holy Grail seemed to go on a bit long, though I've no idea if it really is very long.
The meaning of Meaning of Life is that life is meaningless. Birth isn't a miracle, sperm isn't sacred, fighting is pointless, death comes for no special reason and the universe is too big to care.jademunky said:Meaning of Life is also funny but neither has a coherent narrative or anything meaningful to say. Brian does.
Count me among those few...Silentpony said:I'm one of the few that actually liked Holy Grail. Its very clever and the Christian mythology humor is spot on!
Weird, i always thought Holy Grail deserves that title.Xsjadoblayde said:The life of Brian has been over-quoted/referenced throughout life for me to feel anything more than a passing acknowledgement of respect unfortunately.
It's not that people don't like Holy Grail, it's that it's been referenced to hell and back in other works of popculture as "that Monty Python thing". Making kinda tiring to hear jokes from that movie again. Personally, it made me laugh the most of the bunch.Silentpony said:I'm one of the few that actually liked Holy Grail.

What does "hipster" even mean when used like that as it so often is these days? Does it mean "faking being different to attempt to look cool" by any chance? Because nobody could possibly actually have such an option of course, could they...no, they must surely be lying. Not a good coping strategy, that, to be frank. What about considering that comedy doesn't do so good when repeated ad-nauseum, and personally I find it rather weird that anybody can find the same joke funny when it's done the 1000th time without wanting to kill themselves inside. Also Christianity jokes are so fucking low-hanging mockery fruit at this point, everybody and their mum's pregnant cat has had a turn at it. Hipster shit for sure to think that, can't possibly be realElijin said:Is there some sort of weird hipster shit going on in this thread, with multiple people marking how often something is quoted against it?
If so, I was doing it before it was cool.Elijin said:Is there some sort of weird hipster shit going on in this thread, with multiple people marking how often something is quoted against it?
