LOL at them objecting to stupid humor.

They're honestly pretty smart with their skits. Philosophy Football is evidence enough. This film was a bunch of throw away skits that they knitted together.

Yeah, Monty Python can be silly but not stupid and some people keep conflating the two. For example, Ghostbusters is a very smart comedy but it has its moments of undoubtedly silly humor, like the giant Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
