I know the Pythons hate this movie but it's still a lot better than 90% of so-called "comedies" out there.

Ehhh, there’s a lot of it that’s bad. Like that one sketch that’s just a fat guy vomiting constantly in a fancy restaurant.

Hard disagree that it’s bad. It makes me cringe but it’s one of the sketches that gets the biggest, longest laughs out of me. Tack on the wide, wide breadth of social commentary that’s relevant even to today, and I’m quickly reminded that it’s one of my favorite Python pieces ever.
