a[b]out Monty Python -- if I were British... would they be particularly funny?
Not at all. In England, they were viewed as a "slice-of-life" documentary-style drama - rather like an early "Hill Street Blues". It was only later that its comedic value (in foreign parts) was recognized. The material was edited, animations and cut-aways added to cover the gaps, and a legend was born!

They probably had exclusive rights to the name, and had to come up with a product to match.

Bit hard to imagine what you could make out of that...
Daisy Cutters... silly!
