I say Life of Brian is better than Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

[elperromagico]

It has a better story and more to say, and it does it in a way that is absolutely hilarious.

Who's with me?

[Aristus]

1. The theme song to TLoB, sans lyrics, sounds like the best

James Bond opening theme song ever. Listen to it and you'll hear what I mean!

[elperromagico]

6. I've always thought that. I think that was their intent,

especially with the Shirley Bassey sound-alike.

[asthmaticeog]

2. Oh, I agree 100 percent.

Best damn thing that group ever did, "Life of Brian" is.

[TheDebbieDee]

3. You're INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Life of Brian" makes me chuckle politely while "Holy Grail" makes me piss myself! I laugh out loud just thinking about "Holy Grail." :-)

[nine23]

4. It's a tie, you fucking tosser...

Just kidding; I love them both...


on edit: Who here eats rabbit?

[AlCzervik]

5. My favorite is The meaning of Life

and i like Life of Brian and The holy Grail equally.

7. "Every Sperm is Sacred"

There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.
I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood!

Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
God needs everybody's.
Mine! And mine! And mine!

Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaate!

10. Always Look On The Bright Side of Life

words and music by Eric Idle

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of shit
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

And always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the right side of life...
(Come on guys, cheer up!)
Always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the bright side of life...
(Worse things happen at sea, you know.)
Always look on the bright side of life...
(I mean - what have you got to lose?)
(You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing.
What have you lost? Nothing!)
Always look on the right side of life...

***
Just the fact that they're singing it while being nailed to the crosses - hysterical, and supposedly, not originally planned, just sort of impromptu, but so well liked they added it

11. Thanks Kathy...

I cut n' pasted/saved that. I've always wanted the full lyrics on file!!!

8. Life of Brian and Meaning of Life

It's a tie.

[AlCzervik]

12. "I couldn't eat anutha bite"

18. How ya doing

better

better get a bucket

[Osamasux]

13. Holy Grail has many, many great individual moments

but as a cohesive parody that covers every aspect of the subject, 'Life of Brian' is just incredible. It nails the whole thing. 'The Shoe vs the Gourd sects' is funny as hell (no pun intended), until you step back and realize that nonsense battles like that are still going on now. The whole movie is close to perfect.


Oh, and I prefer 'Always Look on the Bright Side of Life'

[zbdent]

14. Well, the GOP is as legit as

the "suicide squad" . . .

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

19. Frankly, I think the Suicide Squad...

more closely resembles the Democratic party these days...

[BurgherHoldtheLies]

15. Agree! nt

:toast:

[SOteric]

16. Nah. They're both good, but the Grail was better.

:shrug:

[Crunchy Frog]

17. Well, you're just plain wrong about that.

I mean, Life of Brian was a good movie and everything, but Holy Grail is simply off the scale.

If you dare to disagree with me on this, I shall taunt you severely.
