A new two-disc set of Monty Python and the Meaning of Life (1983,
Universal, $26.98) has also emerged. While on the whole not as funny as
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, it does contain the single
funniest scene I've ever witnessed. Had this moment gone on any longer,
I would have asphyxiated. Terry Jones plays the very overweight Mr.
Creosote, who devours nearly everything in a restaurant, then overdoes
it with one final thing: a wafer-thin mint. The mint causes him to vomit
all over the floor and all over a cleaning woman, then explode. The disc
comes with other stuff, but really, what more do you need?
