I don't find either of these very funny.

Ghost World is one of my favourite films, and this scene is funny, but not explosively so.
Since Python, sadly, a lot of comics think doing random 'surreal' shit like shouting out strange words is funny by definition. This is how it's done. The incidental Listen With Mother music, the idea of switching languages (after a perfectly timed break!), and of course Palin's sublime performance - it's absolute high-end lunacy and one of my very favourite MPFC bits.

Absurdity ahoy in both of these. Neither are lol funny, but A is slightly more snigger-worthy.

I don't remember this Python sketch at all and I can see why as it's pretty unremarkable and not very funny. B left me resolutely stoney faced and just wasn't my thing.

A for the way Michael Palin says "box".

Yeah, I like A quite a bit, the switch of language is a killer. Mundanely silly, which is really how Python worked a lot of the time.
I remember liking Ghost World, but I don't remember that scene at all. Again, not sure why it was picked, it isn't exactly a comedy classic.

A is fun, naturally. I could listen to MP read and do just about anything and enjoy it. But B is fun too, and a more adventurous pick in all fairness. The silliness of the stereotypes make me smile.

The Python clip is one of my very favourite bits of comedy. Damn you all to hell if it doesn't crease you up.
