danskmacabre, I think that's a good point. By the time people, now, come to HHGTTG or Monty Python, much of the humour seems old and stale - and much of the context that made it funny no longer exists. Those of us that remember it when it was fresh and unusual, still laugh (possibly remembering how funny it was rather than necessarily how funny it is).
I have found it interesting to see the comparisons with Mr Bean. I rarely find Mr Bean all that funny, but loved much of HHGTTG and Monty Python. It's as though there is something almost mutually exclusive going on there.
