<p>I don’t feel like Monty Python or Hitchhiker’s Guide are pretentious at all. I mean, my friends and I watched Monty Python together, so when we do reference them, everyone knows what we’re talking about and can conjure up the scene and be amused. And many of my friends are “normal kids.” I don’t see how Monty Python really excludes anyone… I can kind of understand where you’re coming from when you talk about referencing great works and things… but if you’re going to say that dropping reference to movies like Monty Python as pretentious then one might as well say that dropping reference to anything is pretentious… celebrities? History? Where would our conversations BE without references to SOMETHING?..</p>
<p>I’m sorry. I feel like this post is very poorly written/expressed, and slightly incoherent. And full of loopholes. Opposition, poke away. =]</p>
