Just smart enough to be into Monty Python

[Bruno]

I don't think I've ever met anyone over the age of 25 who showed signs of Chronic Monty Python Quoting Syndrome.

The worst offenders are gamers over 30 years old.

I've only ever witnessed the phenomenon at D&D meetings (or whatever we called them) and sci-fi/fantasy conventions back in the early early 90's.

I mean, sometimes it's fun to just be silly, and I don't see how that reflects on someone's intelligence. Maybe that's not what this thread is about. Maybe it's about some other phenomenon that we just don't have in Teh South. Maybe there just aren't enough MP nerds to reach critical mass around here for it to become a thing.

I suspect it may be a matter of socially awkward people having a moment with some other socially awkward people and that just kind of turns into a "This is who we are. This is what we do." kind of thing. It becomes part of their identity.

There seems to be an element of critical mass, where if you get enough nerds together in one place, it sets of a cascade effect, and then Spanish Inquisition!

You apparently don't hang around with old people.

I'm almost 40. I was introduced to Monty Python when I was 18, and was over it by the time I was 22.

[Bruno]

Oh, and, uh... "NI!"

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Oh, and, uh... "NI!"

And a shrubbery.

I don't run into them as much as I used to, honestly. Which makes it all the more offputting when I'm alone in a room with one and everything seems to elicit a Monty Python quote.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

I'd quote from Jabberwocky, but that's probably too underground for you guys.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

My testament to how pervasive they are: I know Monty Python quotes from movies and episodes I've never even seen. I have no fucking idea what the references MEAN, but I recognize them anyway.

I actually love it, now, when people quote from Lewis Carroll. Even though when I was a kid that seemed like the height of pinealism.

At least now I can think "YOU READ A BOOK!"

Do we have a hipster emote?

No, but we will.

Yeah, I don't think we have those people around here.

I'm just going to start quoting funny Python code.











I'll have to get back with you on that. I can't think of any right now.

And your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.


What irritates ME the most is tat they quote the least amusing lines from the sketch.  We have a couple in our regular Friday night game wo just won't shut the fuck up AUGH.  It's more the newest guy who does that, and he is otherwise cool, but Jesus Crist we get it, you watched fucking Monty Python.

SHUT

UP.

fucking "h" key won't register I press it sometimes.
