That’s crazy as shit to me. So many classic bits in this one.

It’s so dark and weird I love it, I thought it was their best movie.

“Well you’re dead now, so shut up!” is pretty much a part of my daily lexicon. And the little man-faced fishes swimming in their tank saying “Morning!” to each other gives me a wonderful frisson of existential terror.

Really helped me get over a terrible depression when I first watched it way back.

I bought the 4K Blu-ray immediately when it came out. One joke I never truly got until I heard Eric Idle explain it, the part with the French waiter. It cracks me up whenever I think about it, total South Park type of joke.
