    The thing is, a lot of the humor in that movie is like not that funny when you first see it, but then a couple days later out of nowhere you suddenly think: “He has a wife, you know…” And you’re like: why did I think that? Oh yeah it’s from the Life of Brian! That was hilarious!

    “Blessed be the Cheesemakers…?”

    “All I said was: that halibut was good enough for Jehovah!”

    “Worse? How could I be making it any worse?”

    “you are ALL INDIVIDUALS!!!”

    “He’s not the messiah! He’s a very naughty boy!”

    fml I’m dead…

      You know I felt the same way about The Big Lebowski. First time I watched it? Meh. But I kept remembering the quotes (granted the internet helped with that). So I watch it again and it’s suddenly a totally new experience, like I’m finally on the inside understanding all the inside jokes.

      When I was a teen I loved all their stuff, including the shows… but I get what you mean. Numerous times I’ve tried introducing it to friends only to be met with blank stares because they didn’t quite understand the comedy of it. Sucks to be them.
