Somewhat Phython-esque in places...?

Did anyone else notice that the humor in this film was a bit similar to the style of humor utilized by Monty Python, specifically Eric Idle?

Eric Idle commonly used newscasters and narrators in his material, in much the same style as the narrator in Zelig.

But that's not really what I mean. Some of the jokes had the Python style, such as the one about the bowling alley complaining the Zelig family was too loud, or how when he was really bad his family would get in the closet with him, or my "mother is elderly and she uses her wrist a *lot*", or "he painted my house a disgusting color...he said he was a painter..I couldn't believe the results. Then he disappeared."

Plus the interview with Dr. Fletcher's mother that went horribly awry, that was pretty much identical to the scene in Eric Idle's "The Rutles - All You Need is Cash" (1978) where Idle is a newscaster interviewing the Rutles' manager's wife, and every answer turns out to be completely different than expected...basically in the same manner.

I'm not saying this about the film in general, many of the jokes were exactly like the standup routines Woody Allen did in the 60s, such as the list of all the beatings he and his family endured, or the Rabbi offering Hebrew lessons for $600...these were pure Woody.

But a few of the jokes and scenes absolutely reminded me a little of Python.
