_Monty Python’s Life of Brian_. (Amazon Prime, included with subscription).

As mentioned in another thread, my wife had never heard of [url=[You'd think everyone would know about - #422 by JohnT](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/youd-think-everyone-would-know-about/1021800/422)]Monty Python[/url] before, so after a few YouTube clips, she agreed to watch LoB last night. Was funny at parts, silly at other parts (completely forgot about the space aliens), all in all she enjoyed it… but it didn’t prevent her from yawning at times. We will watch _Holy Grail_ soon, I started with LoB because she knows the Jesus story and could possibly be lost in a story full of Arthurian tropes.

I told her that, to me, MP isn’t necessarily LOL-funny in the viewing, but they are fantastic in the retelling, and she may be proving that to herself as she made a couple of MP references this morning.
