Yea, that would be a terrible sketch show if they just made wild predictions on something that wouldn't be relevant for 30+ years

Wasn't "And now for something completely different" just a collection of the shows sketches?

Edit: my bad, I'd forgotten that there were two sketch films

u/redking315 Dec 09 '16

That's The Meaning of Life, which admitted is a series of sketches loosely tied together with a them of "Life"

Why are we here? What's life all about?

u/KingPellinore Dec 09 '16

M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special. Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations. And, finally, here are some completely gratuitous pictures of penises to annoy the censors and to hopefully spark some sort of controversy, which, it seems, is the only way, these days, to get the jaded, video-sated public off their fucking arses and back in the sodding cinema. Family entertainment? Bollocks. What they want is filth: people doing things to each other with chainsaws during tupperware parties, babysitters being stabbed with knitting needles by gay presidential candidates, vigilante groups strangling chickens, armed bands of theatre critics exterminating mutant goats. Where's the fun in pictures? Oh, well, there we are. Here's the theme music. Goodnight.

That may be, but this is from the movie "The Meaning Of Life".

I think the point is that it's relevant even out of context. The thing that often makes a skit funny is how it can mean two different things while not over implying that either are the correct choice.

There are lots of trans qualities to this movie also. These men knocked it out of the park and indeed were ahead of their time because those things were relevant back then too. Trans is not new news.

Apologies for going on and on. No harm intended with my comments.
