The Monty Python TV and Film Thread

[Cathbad]

Had I posted this a couple weeks ago, it would have been more timely. Credit says Terry Gilliam, but I'd swear I first saw it during a Monty Python re-run (could have been clever programming by the network at the time...not sure).

Hilarious!

Happy to share, although I have to warn you that you'll never be able to open a Christmas card with nature scenes on it again without a chuckle...

True

Dinsdale?​

 

[BAYLOR]

Doug and Dinsdale the Piranha Brothers . Who deemed too unstable even for national service.

 

[BAYLOR]

The wonderful weird animated bits by Terry Gilliam. Brilliant stuff.

Somewhere on YouTube is the Lego version of Knights of the Round Table. Throw that in for favorite parody.

Claim to fame:
One of the two guys who made that Lego version plays in my band, I've known him for almost a decade.
And the Lego film is included on the Holy Grail DVD

From the live shows they did a few years ago, featuring surprise guests

Let's all send a good thought or say a prayer for Terry Jones, who is not quite his old self these days.
I just finished listening to J. Cleese read his book for twelve hours... and he's doing another one.

Another favorite, the Sam Peckinpah" parody, Salad Days.

"Lionel, catch!"

(Caution: contains significant mock violence and pseudo-blood -- like most Peckinpah films )

A Sam Peckinpaw film.

A very useful page
Translations of My hovercraft is full of eels in many languages

Surrealism, Dadaism, Pythonesque - you bet. Consider me

I just watched the 1st part of something called one down & five to go, in which the classic ingredient of the Whizzo whatever was switched from LARK'S VOMIT to MOUSE POO.

Wanted to finish it, but NF took it off! & just one day later, at that. But, those (at that time) remaining 5 guys were OLD! VERY OLD.

"What--is--your favorite color?"
"Blue. No wait--Aaaaaaaah!"

Mothy Python accomplished two important things.
1. They made you laugh out loud at the absurdity of life and world
2. And made you really really really think about why life and world is as absurd as it is , and still be able to laugh out loud about it afterwards .

So, I watched this other thing (also on NF), something about the best bits. They had celebrities, most Brits, & unfamiliar to me, talking about sketches I know well. Then, the sketch, or, at least the main part of it. They talked far longer than the sketches ran. On the argument sketch, they skipped the first room, where the guy's job was abuse, skipped the part after, where the unsatisfied customer goes to the complaint dept., etc. Likewise, the LETHAL JOKE, , they skipped the part where the Germans make their own lethal joke.

SUCKED! So, there's the guy, talking about the skits, and maybe laughing about them, But, I, for 1, wanted to see the skits!
