Sinopsis
Following the success of the 1979 show and the financial benefits accruing to Amnesty from the spin-off movie, TV special and record albums – Cleese, Lewis and Walker planned the next show to be a more spectacular event. Cleese focused on broadening the comedic talent to be presented at the show. In addition to the Amnesty show stalwarts drawn from the Oxbridge/Monty Python/Beyond The Fringe orbit, he invited newcomers such as Rowan Atkinson’s colleagues from the BBC TV show Not the Nine O'Clock News including Pamela Stephenson and Griff Rhys Jones; comedian Victoria Wood and regional comic Jasper Carrott. Lewis secured a return appearance by Billy Connolly and a debut appearance by "alternative" comedian Alexei Sayle who Lewis had recently discovered and was managing. Building on the success of Pete Townshend's 1979 appearance Lewis recruited other rock musicians to perform at the 1981 show including Sting, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Donovan and Bob Geldof.
Un grupo de jóvenes empieza a tener sus primeras experiencias con el sexo, y estas van a ser muy pero que muy curiosas... Mike (Ryan Pinkston) se da cuenta de que anda buscando el amor en los sitios equivocados. Chuck (Frankie Muniz) pierde la virginidad con su novia y ella le hace saber que quiere llevar la relación a otro nivel, incorporando al sexo animales de granja y enanos. Barry (Kevin Hart) está obsesionado con construir la mujer perfecta en su ordenador. Fred (Michael Cera) tontea con una chica por Internet y deciden verse en persona para seguir los juegos sexuales, pero Fred visita el apartamento equivocado. Mateus (Jamie Kennedy) tiene que dar la cara después de una noche loca. Y Griffin (Rob Pinkston) se enamora de una vagina eléctrica. Todo esto mientras que el locutor de un programa de opinión se burla de los anuncios de servicio público sobre el tema del sexo entre adolescentes.

It had all the makings of a huge television success: a white-hot comic at the helm, a coveted primetime slot, and a pantheon of future comedy legends in the cast and crew. So why did The Dana Carvey Show—with a writers room and cast including then unknowns Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Louis C.K., Robert Smigel, Charlie Kaufman, and more— crash and burn so spectacularly? TOO FUNNY TO FAIL tells the hilarious true story of a crew of genius misfits who set out to make comedy history… and succeeded in a way they never intended.

Con una edad que en conjunto solo suma los 358 años, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones y Michael Palin volverán a representar algunos de sus mejores momentos, dándoles un toque de modernidad y centrado en la actualidad, sin dejar de ser Pythonesco. Monty Python se han ganado a pulso el título de unos de los mejores cómicos del mundo. Han sido influencia de toda una generación y han revolucionado el mundo de la comedia. (FILMAFFINITY)
