Do millinials/gen z find this funny?


Humor can change with generations. Watching 'A Fish Called Wanda' my 20 year old nephew asked me a startling question ; 'Is this a comedy?'

Monty Python's Holy Grail still kicks it though.

reply

Anybody with a sense of humour, I think.

A certain subset probably use the word "problematic" while other doofuses nod in agreement, but most people who discover Python dig it, I think.

reply

Can't speak for the new generation, but in regard to age: I did not get this movie when I was young. I didn't like it at all. But now that i'm older and have experienced a lot of life, it's pretty brilliant.

reply

My nephew liked Holy Grail.

I think for Life of Brian or this movie, it'll help to be a little older.

reply

Millennial towards the gen x cusp: This is my favorite Python film and a huge inspiration to me. It's very funny, but in the least superficial way. It's more importantly a great work of art.

reply

I'm Gen X, and I found it hilarious from the start.

reply

I quite enjoyed the watch and find it amusing and some parts clever, but it didn't make me laugh once.
Holy grail is funnier.
