Monty Python re-union and film..!
Discussion
MoL is crap, it has the wonderful 'Universe Song' in it which makes up for most of the crapness.
The other two films are fantastic, particularly the audio versions.
There are still a lot of gems in the TV series.
International philosophy is very clever & funny - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5fGSBsfq8

I've always like the idea of rule 6.

Crap indeed. It's excellent, not least because they managed to offend or disgust absolutely everyone in one way or another. It's not Brian I'll grant you, but Live Organ Transplants and Mr. Creosote alone make it worth while. Not to mention the Intro piece with the insurance company.
Many of Python's sketches were of their time because rather like That Was the Week That Was, it lampooned things that were relevant then, like phone in question times where the Python sketch had a question left in somebody's will that had a codicil. It was largely underlining the absurdity of life.
Another was the unveiling of new post boxes where an address was given by a dignitary not only in English but in French, on a remote street corner, lampooning the pomposity of such overblown unveilings.
The Loch Ness monster sketch was a lampoon on all the morons who had claimed to have seen it.
There is a great sketch about the very dry subject of history and archaeology which they turned into a "musical" which were very popular on TV at that time.
Nowadays, so much "goes" that being controversial is that much harder. Values are extremely liberal so the material is going to be harder to come by.

Filmed at Lower & Higher Kings Avenue in Exeter, just round the corner from where I used to live. It was part of the Mr Neutron episode.TrueToadFax.

That and the Philosophers song are all you need to know to answer any quiz question on Pointless about Philosophy 
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya'
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
SOCRATES, HIMSELF, WAS PERMANENTLY PISSED...
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away;
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am"
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!
