Let em Fight! Cleese v/s Atkinson

Cleese must be an expert in kickboxing after his ’silly walks’ though

And the winner is .. hold your horses .. the one and only .. Black Adder (or the African American Adder in some other parts of the world).

I personally think that the Python was an ADDER fraud.

Now this must be a game. Have never seen one, but the neighbour kid had one where the challenge was to kill old ladies with your car or motorcycle in order to reduce the social security deficit, but not really, understand; it was just a game to improve children’s reflexes and presence of mind.

I have also talked to some air force pilots who learnt how to fly in formation to bombard things and places, and they really had a great time. It was the only time where I saw kids with a real enthusiasm for their jobs, just longing to go on a mission, never mind the risk. However, theirs was not a game, but something very similar, called a formation flight simulator, used to improve pilots’ reflexes and presence of mind.

Cantueso this really IS a perplexing comment.

I only wanted to know what people thought of the two British comedies Monty Python’s Flying Circus and The Black Adder!

Let me please add that while Atkinson and his Blackadder ensemble were ferociously funny through all Edmund’s incarnations, Python has to be the winner for sheer volume, inventiveness, and insanity. Upon further reflection I would have to say that Python paved the way for many future BBC comedies with its extreme irreverence and randomness.

Cantueso’s supposition that this is a discussion of computer games is not at all unreasonable, but I wonder if she’s ever seen any of these TV shows.

BTW, Nimish, nice autocommentarianism!
