i would make the case that it is quoting Monty Python's well-known movies- holy grail, primarily, but also life of brian and something completely different- that isn't funny. a lot of the people who quote holy grail nonstop don't even know that flying circus exists and, in my opinion, quoting obscure flying circus sketches can still be funny.

Python's humor comes from being surreal and weird. It's great when Python does it, but something can't be surreal any more when quoted word for word forty years later.
