monty python
 

sam peckinpaw's salad day's is great.

butts will turn in his scrabble grave.

what is the best MP skit ever?

the silly walks? I think that is what it was called . . .

Did you see Eric Idle on Bill Maher's HBO show the other night? He sang a fake national anthem making fun of flag wavers from all countries.

there is a python sketch for every mood

and now for something completely different....

spam !

"The Ministry of Silly Walks": absoultely hilarious. "I'm sorry I'm late but I'm afraid my walk has gotten rather sillier of late."

Also, The Cheese Shop, The Dead Parrot Sketch, Crunchy Frog... there are so MANY. That's it, I'm going to go put in a Monty Python DVD.

Im not educated enough to find the humor in Monty Python.

Bahhhhhh!

Good Lord, if there's one thing you don't need to be to appreciate Monty Python, it's "Educated".

SpaceAce

The knights that say Ni !!

The Black Knite "Come back here you coward and I'll chew your leg off!! "

"I would like to demonstrate how the Cornwall Garden Coconut can be put to a more practicle use.."

I knew my husband and I were meant to be when we discovered we could both recite The Dead Parrot Sketch from memory.

I can't pick a single favorite sketch or bit...I love "Bring Out Your Dead" ("But I don't want to go on the cart!" "Oh, don't be such a big baby.") and the bit with the peasants gathering dung. ("Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come and see the violence inherent in the system!") And the women of Castle Anthrax..."First you must spank her, and spank her well. And then, spank me! (and me! cry all the other nubile lovelies) And then...the oral sex!"

And who doesn't love to sing "Sit On My Face" or "The Lumberjack Song?" :thumbsup

*LOOOOOOL* My all time favorite 2..

I crack up just thinking about it...

part the test to become a British citizen is to recite the Parrot Sketch.

The dead parrot :1orglaugh

Is this a ten minute argument or the full half hour?

Worthington Red Barrel

Newsagent Sketch, where the guy is looking for a hooker in the ads posted on the board.

Cheese sketch.

:1orglaugh just thinking about it.

Then we will taunt you a second time....

Sorry!.. No one here by that name. :winkwink:

That's no ordinary rabbit. Just look at the bones.

the bit with Mr Smoketoomuch

the movie "Life of Brian" was hilarious though!

Spam, spam, spam, eggs, spam, spam, ham, spam, spam, spam and spam.

I got my son a "Ministry of Silly Walks" t-shirt for Christmas. Took me a year to find it, but now he won't take it off.

also the police squad show :thumbsup


Security: Hold on!

Frank: Frank Drebin, Police Squad

Security: Yeah, and I'm Robert de Niro

Frank: Mr de Niro, we must get inside

--

Frank: Is there a ransom note?
Ed: Yes, the butler found it. It was tied to a window and thrown into the rock garden. I sent the note to the lab. They're demanding a million dollars.

Frank: Why do the boys at the lab want a million dollars.

Ed: The kidnappers made the demands, Frank.

--

Ed: Coffee?

Frank: Yes, it is.

The Dead Parrot Sketch

Just had a bottle of Stoly and feeling very sorry for myself........ but I think of MP and it seems like the world might be OK after all......

Not sure of the name, but the one where the 2 guys are taking bets on who will be the next to jump from the window above, and urging their favs to jump.

farbie

Nobody ever suspects... The Spanish Inquisition!!!

Hee! I just about lost it a few years ago while watching my favorite sci-fi show Farscape...the main character was going to be tortured in this chair-thingie that sort of plays a movie of your memories, and he when the guards came to get him, he said, "Bring on the Comfy Chair."

Some call me....TIM!

The white rabbit "with the big pointy teeth!!!" from the holy grail
and the wizard "There are some who call me......................Tim."
oh and all those funny cartoons between the skethes absolutely timeless
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I used to love monty pythod when I was little. doesnt do much for me anymore tho :(

It's all good!

Love MP. May they live forever!

:glugglug

oh and I disagree you don't need to be smart to get the most out of the Pythons. Some of their stuff is just plain silly but some you won't get if you don't have a decent knowledge base. It also helps to know British culture. Like the one Communist Quiz sketch where there is Karl Marx, Che Guevara and Mao Tse-tung and all the questions are about UK football results. Not only do you need to have clue about communism but know football to fully get the sketch.

Low brow for the high brow.

I just got another set of VHS MP tapes in today and have been watching way to long.

My daughters fav is the guys climbing the sidewalk and then slipping to there precevable death.

She giggled at the hells granny's.


I enjoyed the mock on the "Saint" it was called the Bishop. Very nicely done. The most irretating family in Britain was also good but not classic.

Wink wink, nudge nudge know wot I mean?

I just watched a movie about Terry Gilliam making a movie.

you know it is a bit weird when you see a thread and think 'oh that looks like one I might be interested in' and then you click and find you already did post in it - months ago.

Whenever these Monty Python threads come up, I'm the only person to bring up Graham.

Don't for get The Man.
