    is it generational thing? is monty python fun to people over 45 and not so funny to people under 45?

    because everyone else has copied the jokes to the point they became obvious, cliche or overused

    don't know - but I'm 31 and adore it - sometimes watching too many skits at once becomes a bit OTT for me. But I still love all their stuff. Just not for binge watching as much.
    But I can watch dead parrot on repeat!

    maybe I just havent watched the right bits.

    or it's not your style of humour. No bad thing - sometimes they do get shouty and cringy. Those are the bits I skip sometimes.
    But you should go watch all of it - just to be sure :p

    King Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king.
    Dennis: [interrupting] Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Dennis: Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

    I'm 55 and I can't stand it. I like other British comedy, some of which was influenced by it, but Monty Python leaves me absolutely cold.
