Why do I see more Monty Python references in Japanese media than in the media of any other culture?

Not that I'm opposed to it.

Yeah, Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth referenced it as well.

Even more copy and paste than CAD, with twice the text and half the humor. Amazing.

wasn't kojiro sasaki deaf?

Nah, that was just something Inoue made up for Vagabond.

He even says it a the end of that volume. He absolutely wanted to make somebody who would only communicate through his body or through concepts (like japanese writing).


The "real" Kojiro Sakaki (if he ever existed as people say he probably was just a myth to find a worthy rival to Musashi), wasn't deaf, just an expert samurai who was said to actually be even better than Musashi and who lost to him due to being short in temper (Musashi made him wait for several hours before coming to fight and then easily beat him).

Because the Japanese (like almost everyone else who repeats their jokes over and over again) fail to under why they were funny in the first place.

I've never actually watched Monty Pythons. Only heard and spanish inquisition about them.

Same here.

I think I watched one or two things of them before I hit the internet and saw they were famous but I really didn't know them before.

Because Monty Python epitomizes the kind of cheesy slapstick and goofy comedy that the Japanese find funny. The same reason Monty Python was a million times funnier when you were 13 than it is now.
I know this sounds like a troll post, but the humor in Japan is so fucking unevolved it's laughable.

I can actually appreciate Monty Python more now, you catch on more subtle jokes and references then the obvious ones.

High-class comedy isn't really comedy anymore.

It won't make you split your sides with laughter.

Same here, I thought it was too silly when I was younger. I still think the animated scenes are mostly just silly.

Monty Python sucks.

I completely agree. I remember when my teacher showed the holy grail one back in the 8th grade. Shit was so retarded.

Is this why the wapanese are so shit?

>The japanese have a shitty sense of humor.

You realize, of course, that Americans find Larry the Cable Guy and Carlos Mencia funny.

Indeed.

Don't forget Dane Cook and, perhaps most egregious of all, that atrocious CBS sitcom with Charlie Sheen and that homoqueer.

The unwashed masses fill me with such contempt I could burst.

[Anonymous No.]

wow ITT allot of people that don't know how to laugh at things that are funny. I mean i love Monty python a chuckle is a chuckle and it makes me happy to watch i mean some of the stuff in the series is a little far out but most of there movies are gold and dane cook is ariot watching him on stage is phenominal yeah hes loud but thats part of the act mencea also has some good jokes now and then like when he ripps on beaners his own race and his sean paul impersonation was gold. larry the cable guy well its just fun to laugh at walking stereotypes and his Michel Vic crack was hilarious. comedy =/= intellectually stimulating all the fucken time if that were true Fraser would be the funniest thing on the fucken planet.

Only sitcom that makes me genuinely chuckle in the last few years is Big Bang Theory. And they are this close to jumping the shark too.

It's over, sitcom is dead.

It's cool to hate things that are popular, it makes it seem as though being a ronery faggot was a choice and not a failure. You fail.

Because both frequently involve yelling, no other reason.

Most sitcoms are terrible. That's the way it always has been. Just because there is no Seinfeld or 3rd Rock now doesn't mean there never will be again.

And wow, Big Bang Theory? Really? I just threw up in my mouth a little. I've never heard of anyone under the age of 60 watching CBS of their own free will.
