How can one who has difficulty reading, and jumps to a conclusion without understanding make such a judgement. I did go to the trouble explaining what it is.

If you feel I have erred, don't make sarcastic comment, please inform me of your version of irony.

As for Monty Python, which was probably way over your head from what you say, was presented and written by very educated and intelligent people. They didn't get to university
by being good at sports which is unheard of in the UK, and I would hazard a guess - in Europe.

Its style of humour is to make a point by poking fun at the often incongruity of reality in a less than transparent way by keeping a straight, and serious, face (real, or in writing - metaphorically).

Most British humour('most' does not mean all so don't go telling me about Benny Hill, though he did use it sometimes along with Chaplinesk humour)is centred on the use of irony, so I do understand, when others, not so weaned have a problem with it and take things far too literally and out of context.

I await your lucid explanation of irony with anxious anticipation. I am always ready to be enlightened.
