Can't believe they just copied family guy like this.
Best Mikado I’ve seen.
I always thought Eric Idle as one of those old comedians, myself being born in 1991, however as I get older I realize more and more Idle and the Pythons are part of a comic tradition that is purely timeless, something to be enjoyed by generations to come, to surprise and challenge, and it seems evident they will continue to do so.
G&S inserted a LOT of social & political commentary into their scripts. Much of it goes over our heads now.
New lyrics are unfunny, and remarkably, more rather than less retrograde than Gilbert and Sullivan. All the pythons are tedious, middlebrow, proud centrist bigots, and the sad thing is that somehow being past their prime and dementia riddled now, they weren’t really any funnier in the 70s.
It genuinely is one of the worst examples of the tradition of updating the Mikado lyrics. Were they so strapped for inspiration that "women who kiss and tell" had to appear twice with minute variations?
Amazing! The group singing "Defer" is one of my favorite bits. Thanks for including it.
Imagine the trumpet at the start was the Entrance of your lawful Wedded wife
Can remember going to see this back in the days when you could drive into London without paying exorbitant fees. Also still have the VHS cassette that I bought there.
The setting of "The Mikado", as first performed in 1885, was a happy and prosperous Japan, though a much anglicized one. In the mid-1880s Japan was first emerging onto the world stage. Consequently, there was a prominent fad, particularly in London, for all things Japanese, though most Britons had little real knowledge of Japan. The intent of Gilbert and Sullivan, particularly Gilbert, was to satirized English society by presenting it in another setting. That the setting was Japan was somewhat of a happenstance; the setting of "The Mikado" would have been appropriate in almost any class-stratified country ruled by a monarch.
I read somewhere that the British government stopped performances of The Mikado so not to insult the Japanese ambassador. The theater put on a private performance. The Japanese ambassador enjoyed it, but was insulted that the government thought he woult be insulted.

Why? Gilbert and Saylivan Makardo was rightly set in Japan. Just because you can change it, doesn't mean you should.
it was also written about Britain, though, so, well. you know how it is.
Are Trump and his sick minions on the list? They never will be missed.
Is he talking about Trump’s list?
I think the A I struggled with the transcript🤣🤣🤣
I kept expecting Michael Palin to march in with a plate of prawns and stick them into everyone else’s shirts.😂
Brilliant
oh how apt and to the point at this time!!!
"Bishops who don't believe in God, and Chief Constables who do..." Greater Manchester Police's James Anderton iirc. Don't know if any Church of England Bishops had been identified as atheists, but it was a common suspicion.
Stewie did it better. (I’m kidding).
Thank you so much
Very confused here now. Eric Idle ánd Terry Jones! Sure this isn't a Monty Python adaptation? 😜😁
In short, everybody.
In a word - abysmal.
"Australians of all kinds." Of course we'd not be missed - that's why you sailed us all the way out here in the first place. 🤣
It’s a reference to the Penal colony. Australian = a horse thief or highwayman or the son of a horse thief or highwayman. Transportation was still in living memory when it was written so Australian was a synonym for a malefactor
And suddenly I’m remembering that this is a 1980’s rewrite. I guess you make too much noise at cocktail parties
So, I'm Curious as to what The Crowd is singing at 0:00 and 1:15, is it a separate song entirely or?

Eric is, as always, AWESOME!
4:30 you're welcome
People in power and extremist politicians be like:
Anyone else catch the Chamberlain at the end with holding up the paper?
I got it when I was 16 and saw this on PBS Great Performances! But I was always precocious.
this UN-Japenese version of Mikado is LAME
Boris Becker!!!?
So this is the one that change "The list" lyrics got changed thanks to Eric Idle to make it more funnier and more moderate to poke fun at.
There’s a tradition of updating a few items in the list. I think the only time I saw it live, it included “the striking unionist”.
You’ve got them all on the list😅
My favorite production
I called into a radio show on Vancouver BC once for a chance to talk with Eric Idle. I was the first caller and made him laugh a good gut laugh. I can die happy now. 😂
Damn what did you say? 😂
@@dfsafadsDW I told him that i take Monty Python to every job interview that i go to. He asked how i did that and i said "While I'm shaking their hand, i look at them dead in the eye, and with my best Australian accent, say 'Mind if I call you Bruce?'... " I was hoping that either he or the dj would ask what i do for a living so i could reply "Well, I'm still looking .." but the dj went off on some lame story he had about interviews... Lol. Never the less, I garnered a true belly laugh from Eric, so i was happy. Later that year my location sound instructor has the MP sound recordist lecture to our class. I was the only student who knew who he was or had listened to the albums. When he finished he asked for questions and i shot my hand up as high as it can go,.. he laughed because of course, i was the only one with a question.. so i looked him in the eye and said, "Is it true that on Matching Tie and Hankerchief, that there are t w o tracks on each side of the album???" With a twinkle in his eye, he replied, "Actually, there are three..." Ah ha!!! ...Then he had to explain to the children (😂) how albums work and that depending on where one sets the needle down, you could engage one of three nested tracks with completely different dialogue. So much fun. 🤪🎯💯
@@711yada You lucky duck!
@@ElizabethMcCormick-s2n definitely one of the highlights of my life!!
I understand adaptations of "the list" is a tradition, and I have to say this is one of the best.
Today being the US Presidential election...
why mees about with origanality ffs
He can’t sing!
Not really necessary
Sadiq Khan, Yasmin Alibai Brown, Prince Harry, Megan Markle, Boris Johnson, Chris Hancock, Angela Rayner, Keir Starmer, Owen Jones, Gary Lineker,Diane Abbot,Chris Whitty, Lenny Henry, David Olosunga. I’ve got them on my list, they’d none of them be missed! 😂’
Directly naming them is gauche. Need to reference them in a clever way that makes it obvious without just up and naming them.
@@MichaelOnines sorry Mr Gilbert I didn’t have the time to come up with some witty lyrics, the names of the guilty will have to do.
@@HHM706 Then post it on a Game of Thrones clip of Arya naming off all the people she wants dead.
The self-own about dressing up like women for comedy (which was a very common Monty Python bit) is what elevates this rendition.
Transvestites, say it, use it, be a man.
"He is not the messiah, He's a very naughty boy!"
They were called "pepperpots" back in the days of Monty Python...
A few notes on the list were missed.
The never would be missed!
I absolutely detest this version of "The Mikado". The staging is horrrid .. what a waste of Eric Idle's enormous talent!
eric has this ability to play both posh self-important dry frats and naughty cheeky pervs that make him perfect for koko. also his slight tempo fluctuations give some much character to this performance. by far my favorite koko
Not to my taste. Gilbert had a far better sense of humour than shown here.
Don't know why they can't leave it alone and keep the Japanese costumes
I say! Did they change the words a bit?
The "list" song has traditionally been changed with each production to poke fun at contemporary individuals or social faux pas. For some productions it is justone or two verses rather than this complete replacement, but it is part of the tradition.
@@MichaelOnines Right. Thanks!
Por qué la quitaron de Spotify? 😢
Eric Idle was amazing in the role. The gentlemen's makeup gives me nightmares though. There is another production of this, using the same set, brought into the 1920s IIRC.
Possibly the campest production of the Mikado I'd ever seen. Loved it.
Hated it. To take Gilbert's detailed study of Japanese art and turn it into a 1920's British seaside resort says a lot about the production designer's ego than his non-existent taste. Further, the addition of TV specific special effects, notably the beheaded characters in Cheap and Chippy Chopper was totally unneeded.
The production stinks of Free Masonry and Bohemian nihilism.
So, the Noh Mask is pulled OFF, eh?😂
