Everything is funnier at 1 am

So after a long, boring and tiring day of making pizza at work , i got home and proceeded to sit at my computer to write a blog or two, but i find myself spending more time watching Monty Python Videos on YouTube.

For those who do not know the Pythons (shame on you) they are a comedy troop from England that reached international success with there movies the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and the Meaning of Life and hit television show Flying Circus in the mid 70's. They were the first comedians to reach a rock star status and to
Everything is funnier at 1 in the morning, and the Pythons are no exception, there side splitting comedy is a mixture of ridiculousness and classic British humor.
Scenes such as, wall graffiti from the Life of Brian when Roman soldiers catching Brian writing Latin treats incorrectly on the walls of there fortress. Instead of killing him, they make him correct his grammar and write it a 100 times on the walls. These classic scenes are all bases on traditional disciplinary actions that teachers forced upon there students, but the sheer ridiculousness of the situation makes unbelievable funny.
In my opinion, The holy grail is the best Monty Python movie, following king Arther's quest to find the holy grail. Its filled will ridiculous situations and dialogue that has me laughing for 1 1/2 hours straight.

No matter what, the Pythons are hilarious in every sketch they do, 40 years after they began the sketches are still funny and the jokes are timeless.

    i think this review does a good job of supporting your beliefs. you described it in a light-hearted tone which works well since you're describing a comedy.

    the only thing i might suggest would be to go into more detail. maybe describing the actors? but i think you covered why they are so funny, very well.

    Overall, it's a good post, but i think using some style could really add to your post. If you italicized your titles of shows and important things in this post, it would make it flow better and be easier to read.

    This was very cleverly and effectively written :)
    Gotta love british humour.
    You introduced us to them and then explained why you liked them which was a really good format to inform us and THEN back up your opinion :)
    Very nice :D
