I appreciated them at the time I encountered them (mid-2000s), but they were definitely a bit cringe in their frequency and shamelessness. I wonder if younger people even know Monty Python anymore - by my time, I think people had mostly forgotten about Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, even if 42 survived.

As a foreigner I hadn't known Monty Python when I started learning the language and reading the docs, and I haven't noticed any of those. I guess they came across as just noise.

The kids these days have factored 42 to 6,7 (said with some inflection and hand waving)

Dude it is not cringe. It is silly.

Pretending to be a all serius grown ups language is cringe.
