    I met a 50 yr old software dev who had never HEARD of Monty Python. Not even seen.

      Yah, they were bullshitting you. Nobody in their 50s that wasn’t raised in a bomb shelter hasn’t heard of The Meaning of Life.

        ? Meaning of life is absolutely not what I heard about growing up. Mostly Holy Grail. Once I joined reddit years back I saw life of Brian stuff. I’m not sure I heard of Meaning of Life before you just mentioned it. I actually assumed you meant life of Brian until I googled it. I’m also in IT, and have been since '99.

        No. They were not. They are on the spectrum and have very specific interests.

      I’ve heard of it but never seen more than clips here and there and a play a girlfriend took me too once. I don’t really feel the need to either because it’s all been quoted so much that I don’t think there’s anything left to surprise me. There certainly wasn’t in the play. She was kind of pissed that I wasn’t hyped about it but I’ve literally been listening to unfunny people reference all those jokes basically my entire life it’s all been beat to death at this point.

        I watched Monty Python holy grail after hearing about it so much on the internet. After finally watching it, my opinion was basically that I already watched all the funny parts through random clips and references made in Reddit multiple times. The rest of it was pretty dull and my entire experience as a result was meh. So you might not enjoy watching it either.
