monty python or benny hill?
you find one funny and the other one kinda silly and not funny at all. which one do you consider humorous? there are a select few who will claim that they like both. there is a simple explanation for this. those people lie. the links are temporarily down, but studies have shown ["Studies", nokhor et. al. 1953; "Studies which have shown", rohkon and nokhor 2005.] that is humanely impossible to like both.
indeed
Re: monty python or benny hill?
I have to go with monty python. It is actually funny. Benny Hill is as fun as losing your legs in a carcrash.
Re: monty python or benny hill?
Python.
Benny Hill consisted of lots of bikini clad birds running around and had one joke - the one with the bloke stood in front of the toilets obscuring the "wo" on the women. BH walks into toilet and is chased out by lots of bikini clad birds. Yawn.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

Neither.
GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Monty Python was better, but Benny Hill was still a riot. Good bawdy English comedy.

Re: monty python or benny hill?
Benny Hill was silly and "stupid funny" like Steve Martin. Monty Python was pure genius. I couldn't count the number of times I almost passed out from laughing so hard that I could hardly breath or shot beverage through my nose when an ill timed drink coincided with an MP punchline.

Python, no need to think about it... Meaning of Life, Holy Grail and Life of Brian are among the best movies ever.

Re: monty python or benny hill?
I just think it is humanly impossible to like Benny Hill if your IQ is bigger than your shoe size.
Re: monty python or benny hill?
Benny Hill? See it once, seen them all.
Monty Python has got to be the best humourous gang i've ever seen.

Monty Python is better, but Benny Hill had some good ones too.

Now Finnish TV humor, that's something to make you cry! It seems to consist mostly of laughing at people with funny accents, or those who are obviously mentally handicapped.
If you're fighting fair you've made a miscalculation.
Re: monty python or benny hill?
Monty Python Any day of the week, and not just because I live within half a mile of where Terry Jones was born
I'm probably in a minority but I much prefer the 'flying circus' to the films much more variety.
Actually I've never heard of Benny Hill. Who is he? And Which Film was he in?
Thanks
And now for something completely different...

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

This is like the Imperial Army of Rome going against Alzhar's Babylonian daycare center. Is this really a contest?

Of course, I've never seen Benny Hill.

The Python crew kick Benny Hill into a horrible red mess.

Python by a long way.
Benny Hill stopped being funny when I reached the age of six... still it did have bikini clad women in it.
