Response to somebody who doesn't get it!

This is a response to the review made by MattyMatt4ever
"I'm still a firm believer that there should be a certain element of truth to every joke"
Well, I don't have the time to elaborate but these are the exact words of 'MattyMatt' who has evaluated "M.P. and the Holy Grail" with words such as 'stereotypical' while deeming a movie like 'Men in Tights' 'original'.
The latter is in my humble opinion a mere American Hillbilly attempt to make fun of British folklore...which is a great idea, but in spite of the fact that it actually borrows heavily from the legacy of Monty Python... it is actually downright BORING and WAY too darn politically correct! ...and MattyMatt, "the Sheriff of Rottingham" isn't THAT funny, and it certainly isn't funny enough to compensate for making an entirely indifferent movie called "Men in Tights"!
Altogether, it simply seems that MattyMatt just don't get it and why waste a lot of time trying to explain something to a person who belives "M.P. and the holy Grail" is too 'bloody'... absurdity may not be your favorite 'cup of tea' but don't patronize it unless it hurts your feelings!
My evaluation of "M.P. and the Holy Grail": 9/10
:-) Mads
P.s. For the record I can inform MattyMatt that R. Atkinson has also made a successful show called "Black Adder". It is set in medieval time as well as "Monty P. and the Holy Grail" and I'm afraid it is a bit 'bloody' at times as well... Perhaps they should censor it for explicit violent scenes, or ban it for the use of British dialect? Or even better; they should get rid of the swords!? Silly me, of course not! That would be like replacing horses with coconuts, wouldn't it?!
Hail to the grotesqueness of M.P.s humour as opposed to the lame mainstream American way of defining a good sense of 'humor'! (ironically, I've been told that a lot of Americans feel this way too!)
