I laughed until I cried with the Monty Python movies. An irreverent humor with nuances of irony. It is intelligent comedy for all audiences. Everyone will enjoy according to their referents. I think that sarcasm, at times, did not help his films were blockbusters, but he did captivate an audience that needed to hear jokes about contemporary life.
His cinematographic work is a school of trial and error that sought to find the balance between quality and humor. In my view they did, especially when I think of "The meaning of life" and "Life of Brian."
Excellent publication @honeydue. Applause for you and the Monty Python. Bravo @adsactly, a live for the cinema.
