Would that moment be better or worse than sitting by the same people when Graham Chapman opens the window to flash full frontal to the masses?

Worse. At least Graham Chapman was British. Not sure how that changes anything, but somehow, the accent makes it highbrow.

It's not about what I personally prefer...Life of Brian is the better film, period. It's a classic satire, while South Park was only just released in the last few years.
This iRiff will only be on sale for another few hours. Get it while it's cheap!

I'm British, does that make everything I do Highbrow?

Hmm there's potential there...

While I agree that Life of Brian is the better film in this case, it isn't about which one of them is newer.  Age does not always equal quality.

Well, no, but Life of Brian is genuinely regarded as a classic. I'm not saying that it's better because it's older. Plan 9 from Outer Space is an "old" film, but no one considers it a classic science fiction film.

Seen both, liked both, but I actually purchased a DVD of Brian when a friend recommended it whereas someone gave me a bootleg copy of South Park because I never went out to see it. Both are amusing in their own way but I would choose one of the more classic episodes of South Park itself over the movie. Whereas, Brian didn't have a long-running tv series.

Unless you count Monty Python's Flying Circus, which you should.

Well we never had a series with those exact characters.

The caveat is if you start quoting the Kia-ora ad.
