Thank you Monty Pythons Comedy.. Yet Today’s success of Gender Identity Studies and Queer Theory Behavioral Conversion of Sexuality. Supported by some politicians, Dept of Education and Teachers Unions. Truly destructive for young adults and children in Public Schools
@@eisenkrahe7125 Yes. Let's agree that he has the right to refer to his personal experience watching it as 20 years ago, even though the film came out in 1979.
There a lot of people misreading this scene. The scene isn't anti-trans. It's anti-nonsense. Note that the characters are surprised to hear that their male friend wants to be a woman, but they only object to his idea that he should have the right to have babies. Also, anyone who argues against transgenderism is a moron.
@@THAT.RANDOM.GUY_ its not a bad thing to have a term this brand of stupidity. There is a difference in stupidity and willful ignorance, SJWs are a mix of the 2 but lean far more towards willful ignorance. wouldnt do to keep them in the same category as flat Earthers since they are 100% willful ignorance or Ant-vaccers that are a pretty even mix of willful ignorance and stupidity
@@jgdooley2003 not only women now days, you can be a cat, dog, 5 year old child, sofa, anything you want really. We should bring back the arena for this lot.
It's quite scary really. Even in the 90's this sort of thing was so laughable because of how utterly ridiculous it was. Obviously no sane human would ever say such things... and yet here we are, it's being systematically enforced by schools, governments, and corporations. You can literally be fired, or suspended, or arrested in some countries for not playing along with this Monty Python skit!
Funny, sad, disgusting, there's a friggin word salad I have heard as far as this. I will contribute further to the word salad, it's funny because it's true 🤷♂️.
@Nick Anderson yeah, teaching kids to accept themselves for who they are. kids should be accepted for the gender they really are. and gender reassignment is, relative to the medical world, one of the best treatments. the vast vast majority of those who receive it show positive effects.
"You wanna have babies?" "It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them" "But you can't have babies" "Don't oppress me" This has aged like wine
These days they are oppressing me, I’m not even allowed to say, “I AM A REAL WOMAN”, I’ve been degraded to cis woman. I’m not even a mother anymore; I’m a birth person. The butches have taken over... and I predict that in the distant future, man will go to jail for rejecting a woman (and I’m not talking about rejecting a cis woman) when all she wants is just being appreciated between thé sheets... so they are REALLY confirmed in their womanhood. God bless all women... hallelujah
You think that, because you only know choice parts of Greek philosophy, which happen to be relevant. You don't know the big chunk, that's utter confusion and entirely irrelevant.
I always took "radical" Christians as being radically "pacifist" (it also has a name in Christian tradition: quietism) if radical means following New Testament without exceptions.
Keep scrolling down, and when you're done there, just scrawl through youtube to find literally MILLIONS of them. But hey. Don't let me stop your point scoring. Knock yourself out.
not ahead of its time, part of its time. this sort of conversation was happening during and before Monty Python, but was just starting to get public attention at the time. all they did was use the comedic device of "modern topic in exaggeratedly old setting" (a device they heavily overused in this film). the irony is that it may be genetic/innate, so the joke's on them i guess.
This was historically even a little bit late. Transgender and Transpecies were discussed in scientific fiction literature decades before 1979, which is when Life of Brian was released. But it definitely highlights the hypersensitive and divisive time we live in. We can all be hypersensitive, but man, you better learn your pronouns or else!!!
@@SharkVsTree then you are not informed of the research that has been done on the phenomenon. research, by the way, that would be much more advanced and extensive had the Nazis not burned all the old research that was done on transgenderism in Europe. i can only guess that those pricks wouldn't be interested in obliterating research done on some social affectation...
@@Mr_Friendly_B it aged fine because the sketch is not mean spirited, and even modern folks looking for something to be offended about could see that; the people in the film accept that their friend wants to be a woman pretty easily, the point they contend is that he wants to mother a child, which is just a real biological hurdle
@@theonetypingthis7186 They also realized that he's a nutjob. And the Monty Python never imagined at that time that sickness would come true. Please Russia, invade us !
@@absolutechad5428 I truly don't believe this was intentionally 'wise' in terms of predicting the future. It was just to them a very funny idea at the time. Given 'life of Brian' couldn't even be made in this day and age, and this joke came true, I think we can all settle on the fact that identity politics has partially destroyed Western culture
Well it is important to include women coz your language is making men as a default because men means sex and all the people lol. But sadly very often saying 'men and women' is just an empty virtue signaling.
"Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies" No, suppose you agree that *she* can't actually have babies My friend pointed this out, who is himself trans.
Ironic how Stan is saying that he's oppressed because he can't have babies, meanwhile he's casually watching slaves being forced to fight gladiator battles :)
@@docribby Yeah but men cant have babies outside people who think roleplaying is real, thats the joke. You can be pro trans, but not on the expense where Womens rights movement or that is put out of jeopardy
@@matrix91234 you do realise in biblical times they had more than 2 genders in society, that's the actual joke that from a 1970s lens the idea that men can be women seemed bizarre. Yet society is going back due to the church having less influence in modern times.
It's so fucking up to date that it feels like the sketch was made just a couple of weeks ago. They predicted a whole website. Monty Python were amazing geniuses of comedy.
The genius of Life of Brian (and Monty Python in general) is how it takes a jab at philosophies from all spectrums : socialists, individualists, liberals, conservatives, nationalists, imperialists, capitalists, theists, anarchists, monarchists, or even nihilism itself.
I enjoyed the scenes involving Mr. Hilter & his attempts to gain power in the English town of Minehead. Tourist: "You wouldn't have much fun in Stalingrad." Hilter: "Not much fun in Stalingrad..."
That might be true, nonetheless it's still a testament to amazing comedy, this is from the late 70's, 43 years later still relevant. We could use more comedy of this caliber, but not even BBC itself does them justice in the the pursue of the elusive unicorn called "political correctness"...
1979 to be precise. The fact that modern society idolises the "Greed is good" 80's is ironic and a little sad in of itself. Having said all that, you're being a bit generous aren't you? smh When this film was released it was a bit on the progressive edgy side, now it's been so long even conservatives love it. The only thing the original is missing from the 2020's version is the iNtENsiTy...
No, all satire is ironic, because it engages in mocking ironically certain views or people, but when it becomes reality, then its irony punching us in the face. Because we didnt listen, and we certainly didnt learn. So enjoy "men getting pregnant" now. Because Feelings > Facts. And reality is "racist", "sexist" and "transphobic". We despise reality and nature, because we've delved deep into delusion and absurdity.
@@morpheas768 Reality is what it is. However we define and create certain abstract ideals that would never exist without us. "Men" and "Womwn" are categories we created to describe the world and ourselves. They are not "reality," but our categorization of reality. So no, nobody is denying reality, or valuing feelings over facts.
I'm gonna go ahead and leave this here and direct you to page 112 of the report (Page 116 in the PDF) detailing suicide rates among the specific group you mentioned, seeing as HALF of them having suicidal thoughts is at the very least in MY MIND indicative of mental illness. www.transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/USTS-Full-Report-FINAL.PDF
@@Leon_der_Luftige I think they're talking about the bullshit where people say there's more than two genders, SJWs saying that you can be multiple genders at once, and trans people wanting to become a sex which they can't biologically, they can look and act female/male but they can't actually become that gender as that's not how they were born, also the fact that SJWs are trying to say that trans females, non-binary people and even regular biological males can beome pregnant and have periods if they wanted to, or at least have the right to have periods/pregnancy
+stickypool I know this sounds horridly hippie, but if we all just had a little more love and empathy for each other, then we wouldn't have to keep building these ridiculous little fences and jokes could be funny again.
What a difference a year makes. It turns out that in the UK a joke will get you convicted of hate speech. Also, the aussies have been better at cricket because they're cheats.
Did you know that trans people have been a thing since before but especially in ancient rome? Did you know that’s also when the movie takes place? It’s actually pretty interesting.
Because they all went through Oxbridge, where they would have encountered first hand the windbag Marxists who espoused all this crap and who paved the way for the woke movement of today.
Marvellous. Reg's rationale and shock at everyone entertaining Stan's, sorry, Loretta's, impossible goal is pretty accurate for today. "I'm not oppressing you Stan YOU DON'T HAVE A WOMB"! 🤣
@@PEDROGARCIA-qj3gr Way to win people over to your side. Call them a retard and say they're too dumb to learn. Works every time doesn't it? Bet you're the life of the party too
@@tonymichaels5592 I first read your comment and assumed he had nothing of value to say, then I read his comment and it turns out you ignored everything else he said. It works when the listener doesn't ignore almost everything, yes. It's when someone insults and says nothing else, that there is nothing of value.
I still love this scene. It really cracks me up. And makes my day. Glad they included it in the original movie. Plus Eric's laughing too. His shoulders are moving.😅😅😅😅
@1:14 I love how it's obvious that Eric Idle completely lost his shit at that joke and is laughing so he puts his head in his hands to make it look like he is crying 😂
Where do you live? I doubt the law is forcing you to show us basic human decency. In fact, officers typically discriminate against us. Just like society in general. Sometimes I WISH we could be privileged for a change.
@@macaryl95 (1) "where do you live?"... Son , have you heard of this place called S W E D E N ?? (2) "sometimes _I WISH we could be privileged for a_ change"... You mean like you are now ? You got all the rights anyone else has , there is a ton of media portraying you , and people treat you as gods on Twitter and cancels anyone who dares speak against trans rights . How tf are you opressed ? Do youy live in the middle East ? LOL
@@Dan_Kanerva You have no idea how southern states operate. They aren't far off from the Middle East. LGBT in liberal states are able to do ridiculous things, at the expense of someone in my situation. I just want to be left alone and at peace. But I'm at a higher risk of discrimination because of things I haven't done.
@@macaryl95 ah , i see where you are comming from now... you are annoyed because a few loud lunatics from your community are creating a bad image in front of everybody else , and now people are gonna generalize and lump you in with those bastards... i can relate to that . Is what people do with conservatives or people who live in the south
I never knew that the actress who played Judith Iscariot became the Mayor of Aberystwyth in 2008, where "Life of Brian" was still banned nearly 30 years after it's release. She was instrumental in having the ban lifted!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
fleetcenturion Wait, but we already know that comedy = tragedy + time... So if tragedy = comedy + time then... Time is nothing. And comedy is tragedy. Oh well done Stan. You broke the world!
Wait, no, it’s comedy = tragedy + time. So, this equation should be tragedy = comedy - time.. You know what? I don’t even want to know how you math this out.
