The only truly amusing scene in the first one was Eric Idle trapped in a tower with a bunch of lecherous nuns-to-be.

What's supposed to be funny about a torso gushing blood and claiming he's about to win the battle? Gross.

I adored the TV shows. Some of the skits fell flat, but some were brilliant and funny.
