Welcome to Pop Culture Friday, a new recurring feature, actually it will recur as long as I remember to do it each week, here on Mnkey Muck. Every Friday the folks over at the Onion AV club do a feature where they answer questions about pop culture. So the idea Pop Culture Friday is if I like that week's question then I will chime in with my answer here on my blog.
This week's question is, "What are your pop culture sacred cows?"
Mine are the movie Heathers and three of the films from Monty Python.
Heathers is perhaps the finest, funniest black comedy ever made and if you have seen it and you don't agree with me on that then we're going to have a problem. I first saw it with a gal I was living with, this was before I met Sparky, and as I was watching it I was laughing like crazy because I got it. I understood the jokes and the references they were making and I laughed my ass off while she and I watched it. The gal I was with had no idea why I was laughing, she did not get it at all. In fact, she kept hitting me and telling me to shut up because it wasn't right that I was laughing at all the 'bad' stuff in the movie. She and I did not last but Heathers did.
Okay, I'll be magnanimous and give you a pass if you saw Heathers and didn't get it. But I swear if you saw any of the following movies:
and you didn't like them or you thought they were not funny then you and I can never be friends. I can understand why some people don't like the old Monty Python TV shows, especially young people who never had to live in the comedy deprived world we who grew up in the 60's and 70's did, because some of the episodes are a bit dated now. But I draw the line at these three cinematic comedy Python classics. If you don't like them then you need to have your funny bone examined because it's broken. Or perhaps you might be a humorless right winger or tight assed Christian who hates it when people laugh and have fun. If that's the case then I don't want to be friends with you anyway.
Long live Heathers and Monty Python!

SCTV.
Do I get a pass if I did't get Heathers 'cause I've never watched it? This has me really worried. Please respond ASAP. BTW, agree 10000 percent on the MP movies.
Since you like the Python, you're okay Lockwood.
Zibby-Excellent choice.
Totally agree with MP and Heathers. I married my wife even though she thought Holy Grail was stupid but I reserved the right to use that as evidence of irreconcilable differences in any future divorce actions.
My sacred cow? I'd go with Raising Arizona. Now you get back in there and get me my baby!
The Coen Brothers have provided me with a whole herd of sacred cows.
That woman you were living with sounds like a Swatch Dog or Diet Coke Head. What a pillowcase...
Yup, I'm with you on The Heathers.
Monty Python was not a comedy, it was a documentary. Trust me, I lived there for a while.
I would add The Princess Bride as another touchstone, and anything by Mel Brooks for me.

Deadwood. I am both Al Swearengen and Trixie.
Haven't seen the first film you mention but I do love the MP.
I saw Heathers the night it opened. There were three people with me and about ten other people in the theatre. Six of them left in the first ten minutes. Losers.
I also love the MP films, but Raising Arizona might be my favorite comedy of all time.
Also, if someone watches Being There and doesn't like it, they can pretty much fuck off.
Heathers nailed sarcastic 80s teen lingo with lines and scenes and is a film that truly withstands the test of time. It was the dark cousin to the John Hughes movies that dominated the era. Enjoyable to this day, even with Slater's blatant aping of Jack Nicholson.
The Simpsons.
Love Life of Brian. Addicted to the Daily Show, which I can watch online, since we don't do TV. Liked the Simpsons when I did do TV, but I can never remember the characters when asked about them in crosswords.
oh, being there, yes! and sctv and python and the movies and...
Heathers is awesome. Monty Python as well. My biggie is Bottle Rocket. Some others: Big Lebowski, Half Baked, Grosse Pointe Blank, Space Balls and Princess Bride.
Love all the MP stuff, but the vomiting guy skit I could have lived without.
Heathers is sooooooo good!!! it's before wynona was a thief and when christian did movies and not bad tv shows ( my own worst enemy).
I love The Life of Brian. Terrorists make such wonderful targets for satire, as does religion.
They are second to none, IMHO. I don't get people who don't get Python. And I loved the Heathers too.
Never even heard of "Heathers." I'll look for it now, though.
Love all the Montys.
"O Brother, Wherefore art Thou?" was great.
So was "Raising Arizona."
And "Antz."
i have found over the years that if you disagree on comedy and sarcasm, the relationship is doomed! well, at least with members of the opposite sex.
and btw, the vomiting guy was the funniest thing EVER! "just a mint?"
