I met a 50 yr old software dev who had never HEARD of Monty Python. Not even seen.
I've heard of it but never seen more than clips here and there and a play a girlfriend took me too once. I don't really feel the need to either because it's all been quoted so much that I don't think there's anything left to surprise me. There certainly wasn't in the play. She was kind of pissed that I wasn't hyped about it but I've literally been listening to unfunny people reference all those jokes basically my entire life it's all been beat to death at this point.
I watched Monty Python holy grail after hearing about it so much on the internet. After finally watching it, my opinion was basically that I already watched all the funny parts through random clips and references made in Reddit multiple times. The rest of it was pretty dull and my entire experience as a result was meh. So you might not enjoy watching it either.
