Summary: how White Star video irritates viewers
Review: This DVD is of extremely poor quality. Whenever someone moved on screen, I got motion sickness. Not only is the picture quality awful, it is also out of synch with the audio. The one star is for this DVD and for all companies who think they can get away with artistic murder. It is not for John Cleese who will always have ten stars in my mind, even on a scale of five.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: HILAROUS!
Review: this movie (Tv special actually) is very good and written very well by Grahm Chapman and John Cleese. the sketches all prove "How to Irritate people" well ofcourse. I espiclly enjoyed the sketch about Air line pilots. It is a sketch about how the Air line pilots on a plane irritate there passengers by saying things like "take your luagage off the top of the plane and put it on the the oppisite side of the plane, but don't un fasion your safety belt!" and the sketch about how a man is forced by his wife to tell a joke that he dosen't want to tell... and he tells it and nobody laughs so he dashes into the kitchen as we hear him beating wife ( I carcked up embarresd about it though). Not everyones cup of tea but i found it funny. The only reason i took of 1 star is because the quality is terrible. besides that, toatally worth the mula!

Summary: Disappointing
Review: This tape seems to be a compilation of leftover skits that weren't deemed good enough for regular python shows. The only truly funny one was the Airline Pilots sketch, and John Cleese's intros. Only for diehard Python fans.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Laughed Til I Stopped!
Review: This video is hilariously funny! Almost everyone will find some skit in here where the characters closely resemble someone they know or live with. My personal favourite was the "cinema scene" because my relatives in England act like this all the time. I would highly reccomend this to you!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: dissapointing
Review: Very dull and dissapointing. I HIGHLY suggest renting it before you buy. You will be glad you only spent [PRICE] on a rental.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Diamond in the Rough
Review: We found this video thoroughly enjoyable. We especially like the sketches: "Airline Pilots," "Dirty Chair," "TV Show," "The Joke," and "Pepperpots at the Cinema." That covers about every sketch in the program! This is a must-see for all Monty Python fans, as you will get to see early versions of "Dead Parrot" in the form of the used car salesman sketch. Also an early version of "Dirty Fork." Michael Palin is at his comedic best, as is Graham Chapman. However, we felt that John Cleese's performance left a little to be desired. His writing is as witty and off-the-wall as ever. In short, if you come across this video at a swap meet, or at your local video retailer, don't pass it up. As Michael Palin's character states in the first sketch, "I want to watch THIS!!"

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: We own and enjoy a lot of Python (video and audio), but this old TV special is really 'orrible! Even if you are a die-hard fan, skip this one. There are two sketches which are slightly funny; the others are completely and absolutely awful. It was actually depressing to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you want to Irritate, this is perfect!
Review: With three of the Pythons, this movie shows perfectly that they were always funny. One of the best sketches I've ever seen is the "Airline Pilots". Cleese, Chapman, and Palin are scaring their passingers with the most hilarious tactics. Wonderful!!!
