Monty Python's The Meaning of Life/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Non Sequitur Scene: Again, the "Find the Fish" scene. If you think that can't happen in a Monty Python sketch film, watch the scene and think again.
  • Crazy Awesome: The Crimson Permanent Assurace
  • Crosses the Line Twice: Live Organ Transplants, Mr. Creosote, "Every Sperm is Sacred," etc...
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The aforementioned American business executives claim that the meaning of life is dictated by the fact that "Matter is Energy" and "People are not wearing enough hats."
  • Most Wonderful Sound: The little machine that goes "PING!"
  • Nausea Fuel: Mr. Creosote serves as this both within and without the film.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The Uncanny Valley characters in the "Find The Fish" segment.
    • And the Live Organ Transplants scene. And the scene with Death. And Mr. Creosote. It's that kind of movie.
  • Dark Comedy=Out of the three "Monty Python"films this one is noticeably the darkest of the three.
