That seems to have done it. I can't wait to watch along

I like the fact that George Harrison backed the movie because he read the script and wanted to see it. In the show Monty Python's Flying Circus, it was common for the men to play woman's roles. I say do not watch The Meaning of Life. Especially with an over the top vomiting scene in it. As far as the troupe playing different roles, I've watched this and Holy Grail multiple times and Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam are the two I can't pick out. I did get to see Spamalot here in Boston. I wish I did see it on Broadway though with Tim Curry as Arthur, Hank Azaria as Lancelot and David Hyde Pierce as Sir Robin. My favorite scene is the conjugation of Latin. The level of detail they get into is so funny to me. And now for the interesting comment. I don't think Jesus was born on Dec 25 and Christmas has its roots as a pagan festival.

oh Shan, you hate the high pitched voices and chewing sounds? you might have Misophonia. i do too. these movies can have a lot of triggers but i love them all just the same. I like The Meaning of Life as well and i think you might as well watch it, right??? you've come this far so why not finish the Monty Python trilogy?

I'd avoid Meaning of Life and, at most, watch a few videos of scenes from it (It's basically just a sketch collection, so they hold up separately). On their larger/longer work as a sketch comedy troupe I'd love to see you check out The Cheese Shop sketch and The Dead Parrot sketch. They've endless gold, but imo those are two most folks should really see if they like any of Python! Oh, and I didn't see it in the YT comments, but one of the reasons George Harrison had a cameo in this (it is SUPER fast) is his wanting this movie done. A person I saw on the YT side mentioned how he did things/supported Python but I didn't see the detail about this that, as Harrison and Idle quip: Harrison holds the record for "the most expensive cinema ticket ever issued".... he financed the film himself. When at the last minute their financing was pulled, he and a business associate created the company Handmade Films and Harrison started selling off items, remortgaged his home, and just general risked being financially gutted if the movie didn't make do well.

I definitely prefer Holy Grail. This one's got funny moments, but I don't care for the pacing. It drags one minute and goes too fast the next.

Meaning of Life is my favorite movie from them. The fact that it's mostly sketches plays to their strengths, because they're not beholden to making anything era accurate. I'd also say that there is still an overarching theme, and the sketches reference each other, so while they can be seen individually, it's more like an anthology than an episode of SNL.
