I'm watching Blazing Saddles and I got to wondering if I enjoyed the Mel Brooks classics or the Monty Python movies best.
I can't really decide.

You watch your ass!
As much as I love Monte Python, The Holy Grail and Life of Brian are the only movies I really watch over and over.  But I'll watch a Mel Brooks flick any time I see one on the tube.

I voted for Mel but honestly both are great and in my opinion as others stated they are a little different style

another answer should have been "Get both"

Those are the only 2 Mel movies I like, but they are great. I can watch them over and over. The same goes for MP and the Holy Grail.

Blazing Saddles vs. Life of Brian....
Both are far too good to vote against so I can't vote at all.

Brooks reminds me of some sleazy, no-talent,  lounge lizard stand-up comic with a drum set behind him for the punch lines.

Sorry but the Arfcom standard of "Get Both' Applies to this...can't choose between the two.

The fact the poll is limited to movies affects the results.


There are only three canon Monty Python movies I can think of (Hollywood Bowl and Completely different don't really count, skit performances from the TV show)


ETA:  I know every work to "The Philosphers Song" and I voted Brooks Movies
11/27/2011 9:09:10 AM EDT

Completely different style of Comedy. Personally, I think British humor is kinda strange.
I prefer American brand of Comedy, so I will go with Mel Brooks. His movies are always great.
However, that isn't to say movies like Monty Python Holy Grail aren't classics.

Mel Brooks is hit or miss.  Sometimes he knocks it out of the park.  A lot of times he strikes out.

Everything from the Monty Python troupe is absolutely golden.

They're both quotable for miles.

Blazing Saddles is the funniest movie ever made. Monty Python stuff is top grade, but Brooks has a slight edge over them.

That's like saying "I never found American humor funny". There's a big variety.

 






I've always written off the opinion of anyone who equates Monty Python with Benny Hill as unrefined, and not worthy of consideration.
