I recognize it as a classic that has been the inspiration for a lot to come and that it was plenty controversial when it came out. With that said, it just isn't as funny nowadays. The mother being played by one of the chaps was annoying as fudge to me, souring a lot of the experience. It is also the case that the filmmaking is... unruly for most the time. That isn't to say that parts of it still works wonders. It did make me mourn that not more high-concept comedies like it are being made.

Like most Monty Python works, this is hit-and-miss, with some jokes succeeding and others failing. No joke is an egregious dud, though plenty are silly and unoriginal, but on the flipside, I only laughed really hard once during the movie. (A callback to the hagglers) Still, it maintains a nice pace as well as a cheerful spirit. Unfortunately, some failed jokes are dragged out too long (interactions with the crowd) and it ends with a whimper more than a bang. A decent comedy, if overrated.

Some of the jokes have aged poorly, but it's still very funny.
