It might just not work for you because Monty Python don't do punchlines. They just dial the absurdity to 11. There is some element of surprise, but rather at the beginning of a scene than at the end of it. Then it's a matter of "how far can you take this situation", e.g. a knight losing all limbs and still claiming "it's just a scratch"
(Sorry for the spoiler but it's been 48,5 years...). Part of it could also be missing cultural context. Taking the same scene as example, it's a comment on the British "stiff upper lip". |
