Complete and utter tripe.  In jokes for overpaid, undertalented luvvies.

Who were also undertalented and overvalued.  Although, to be fair some of
the individual Pythons have had some hilarious moments, and the films in

were unmitigated shite and no number of midlife crisis ridden forty
somethings claiming otherwise will convince me otherwise.
