Finally saw Spamalot. Thought it was hysterical although the actor playing Arthur dialed it in slightly. Certain bits are I think work better in America like, “You won’t succeed on the West End (without a Jew)
Moment from that bit that made me laugh:
“You’re Jewish?”
“On my mother’s side.”
“Why didn’t you say?”
“It’s not the sort of thing you admit to a heavily armed Christian.”
Another funny moment after a gay wedding:
“Don’t worry. In a thousand years this will still be controversial.”
But my favorite bit is the French scene. Word for word the movie, but for some reason it is even funnier.
I think I have been in the UK too long. Either that or mocking the French is inherently amusing. . .
