Poll question: The least funny Python |
|
Oh, sure, they were all funny in the show and two of the three movies. But who among them is the one least so, IYHP?
I reluctantly add Terry Gilliam to this list, knowing he'll get votes cause he just did the cartoons and "it's only a model." But what I'm wondering which one of the Pythons delivered the least line-for-laugh punch ratio in his performances, possibly even, at times, falling into that pit of trying to be funny, which is far worse than not being funny at all. Reasons why you think they're not funny will be enlightening and conducive to a civil discourse.
Oh, I suppose I'll also entertain discussion in this thread of who is the most talented of the troupe, too, but I'm personally feeling more inclined toward character assassination at this moment.

4. I'd have to go with Gilliam. |

Quite probably the most imaginative of the Pythons, but not particularly funny.
That said, he only had a few spoken lines on the show, and he did a pretty good job of cracking the other performs up when he would deliver them. I think he must have delivered them in some other manner during the rehearsals.
The Inquisition sketch is a good example.
