    Last night, I was watching Family Guy, and there was a bit where Meg was being tortured by watching bad Monty Python skits, and she said, "I'm a girl, I don't even like the good Monty Python skits!".

    I know they were making fun of the fact that it's usually teenage boys who like Monty Python, but is Monty Python sometimes something most females don't get into, for whatever reason?

    Discuss.

    Most people with good taste don't like Monty Python. So, to the extent women fall into that category, no.

    Oh, I'm afraid you'll find my space station is quite op-er-a-tion-al.

    I feel like disagreeing with that statement will get me and my entire family "relocated".

    Considering it was my high school girlfriend who got me hooked on Monty Python in the first place, I have to say yes.

    They are not skits, they are sketches.

    And last night's family guy blew chunks.

    Girls definitely like Monty Python because my sister is the one who introduced it to me. She loves it, I love it, all of my female friends I've shown love it.

    Ever since the hiatus it just hasn't been as clever or funny.

    Appreciation of Monty Python is a prerequisite of friendship. Jabba is not, and never will be, my friend.

    Never really watched it myself, so I guess I have no opinion on the matter. I never went out of my way to seek it out, either, but that's just because I was never really exposed to it. The real question should be whether girls like the Three Stooges or not. That seems to be the comedy gap between the sexes, honestly.

    My mom hates Mel Brooks. How messed up is that? How do you even talk to a person that is so fundamentally...incorrect about the world?

    The only person I know who actively dislikes Monty Python is a guy . . .

    I have adored Python for years and I am a female. Yes, I was born that way.

    Shall I add my name to the list of females which disproves the "girls dislike Python" myth or have you already collected enough data?
