I assume you say this in a Graham Chapman voice to make it extra funny.

Sorry, NA- I simply cannot let this pass.

I assume you assume I know who Graham Chapman* is. I don't see why it would need to be funny. Making jokes as you send someone off to jail seems unnecessarily harsh.

*wendybeth's response leads me to assume he is a Monty Python person.

Somehow, I get the feeling you don't care for Monty Python.

Well, even if I think Monty Python the funniest thing since hernia surgery you would be hard-pressed to argue that any of its former members are currently doing anything to successfully promote humor.

John Cleese, with his willingness to do anything for a paycheck is a negative force in comedy these days (when the funniest thing you've done in a decade is a TNT commercial where you hit a man in the balls with a ball you're not doing well).

Terry Gilliam is doing good things still but just not funny good things.

Eric Idle's last consistent work in comedy was as a recurring character on Suddenly Susan. When you're up against the comedic stylings of Brooke Shields and Judd Nelson it is safe to say you're not swinging for the fences.

Terry Jones hasn't had a role where the character is big enough to get a name since 2000 and that was in a Danish animated film.

Is that all of them? My comment was just a throwaway line, but now that I investigate it further, I think I'm going to have to stand by it. Graham Chapman is currently the funniest of the former Monty Python players.

Word is "Spamalot" was good for a laugh. You forgot Michael Palin.
