Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983)

You either love or hate Monty Python's brand of humour. I don't think there is any middle of the road for the likes of John Cleese, Michael Palin, and Eric Idle. The Meaning of Life is no different.

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is unabashedly raunchy and offensive. The original kings of insult comedy, Cleese, Palin, Idle, Graham Chapman, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam take great liberties to offend everyone and everything. From the opening stabs at Roman Catholics to the closing strains of death, The Meaning of Life has you covered.

Through a series of sketches, the comedy team take on the various stages of life and maximizes them for the best laughs. These laughs, however, are often sight gags complimented with dry British humour.

The Meaning of Life is best suited for those who are well rounded in the genre of British comedy. Fans of Are You Being Served? or the more recent Little Britain should give it a go. If you're not a fan, you will find The Meaning of Life utterly pointless.
