> [@panache45](#): > > There will never be a better comedy troupe than Monty Python. With emphasis on ‘ **will** never be’, yes. 🙂 OTOH, there _has never been_ a better comedy movie than _Monty Python and the Holy Grail_. While I’m open to the possibility of its being superseded, it’s been \>44 years now and nobody’s managed it. But since it was 42 years after _Duck Soup_ before _MP&HG_ was released, it’s too early to consider the question settled. 🙂 ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > My gravy is so spectacularly delicious that it can only be eaten once a year. More than that would result in instant cardiac arrest. Most people who taste it decide to just end things, as everything that would follow would pale in comparison and be a crushing disappointment. My biscuits are so light and fluffy that they are often mistaken for clouds; if it wasn’t for the gravy weighting them down, they would indeed float to the ceiling. > > \ That is indeed a ringing endorsement of your culinary prowess! …but, have you ever heard of a guy named Jesus (aka Jesus of Nazareth, aka Jesus Christ)?

> [@panache45](#): > > There will never be a better comedy troupe than Monty Python. Except for the troupe of the 90-minute live variety show, _ **Your Show of Shows** _ (1950-54) featuring Sid Caesar, Imogene Coca, Howie Morris, and Carl Reiner. Wikipedia excerpt: “Writers for the series included Mel Brooks, Neil Simon, Danny Simon, Mel Tolkin, Lucille Kallen, Selma Diamond, Joseph Stein, Michael Stewart, Tony Webster (the only Gentile among the show’s writers), and Carl Reiner who, though a cast member, also worked with the writers. (Larry Gelbart and Woody Allen joined the writing staff for later Caesar ventures.) The series is historically significant for the evolution of the variety genre by incorporating situation comedies (sitcoms) such as the running sketch ‘The Hickenloopers’; this added a narrative element to the traditional multi-act structure.” ---
