19:16 see, this is why i knew i had to watch whole thing. Thanks for this vid! Love your style, analysis, opinions, timbre and over-all demeanor; very straight forward. Havent gone back to watch Python since.. middle school? so this is def an inspiration for such
@@EshenBaumthat's so kind of you! And yeah middle school is exactly when Python rocked my world, I let multiple people borrow my dvds back then. There actually might be more nods to the albums than the show in this vid, particularly with the music. If this inspires you to revisit Python, then I did a good job. Thanks so much for staying for the whole video and the sub!
17:25 I'd describe The Goodies to a newbie as a mix of Python, Benny Hill and The Monkees. You've got the surreal humour of Python, the visual humour of Hill (both the Goodies and Hill shared the same influences from the silent film days), and the music of Bill Oddie regularly in the background, much like the music in The Monkees.
That's pretty accurate. I would say it's closest to the Monkeys, and even the sped-up film of running around seems closer to that than Benny Hill cuz there's no "scenes of naked ladies with floppy breasts" as Eric idle would say. I've seen a few episodes and was surprised by how much I liked it, given my predisposition of thinking it would be lame based on their song in the Amnesty International concert. Seems like it's sort of hard to find, at least in the States.

I have the DVD of this, as well as Not The 1948 Show, Do Not Adjust Your Set and collectors editions of Meaning Of Life and The HoilY Grail. Holy Grail has a small cutting of filmstrip in it. Also have other Python Film s & series like Palkins Ripping Yarns. I'm from England originally, but was a stand up comic in Christchurch New Zealand in the late 80's and spent some time with Billy Connolly in October 1987
I grew up in Oz with all these shows, even as a little kid I thought it was hit and miss, somethings were not funny just stupid. However by the time they start making movies they were brilliant or I was just old enough to get the humor. This was comedy golden years. Now, no one has a sense of humor.
@@DogOfKrondor yes indeed, although isn't there audio of most of/all of the episodes? That was pretty short-sighted of the BBC just for the fact alone that John Lennon popped up on the show a few times

This is a pretentious and irritating video. The voiceover is so American it can not be listened to. It is what makes a difference between fact and knowledge. Yes the facts are there but the knowledge is missing. Cringe worthy dialog but little else...
Forget the origins, which every true Python fan long knows. Just consider Sketch History, the heavily Python-influenced, genius, German sketch comedy series, which the non-German speaking public does not know at all. I have other examples from Czech and French comedians, etc, but if it ain't in English, it might as well never have existed.
@@BrianKishreviews Not sure what "subgenre" means, but, no. I am referring to the beloved Sketch History series on German television. If this sounds totally unknown, just Google Max Giermann's Kinski. And there are others. The English were not the only ones with an absurd sense of humor, believe it or not. And I'm a fookin' American--how do you lot not know about this stuff?!
@@haeuptlingaberja4927 I'm not claiming that all modern comedy is derrived from Python or this special, just that this special is often overlooked and an interesting step in the progression of the more modern style of provocational comedy.

@@BrianKishreviews Yeah, so: Sketch History, which I mentioned, and Jan Boehmermann's ZDF Magazin Royal, and Ladykracher with the wonderful Anke Engelke should be enough to get you started...
To the commenter whose comment mysteriously disapeared - yes! The title cards are indeed a Python reference to the second album cover!

No penguins were exploded during the making of this video. This is because they have learned the art of not being seen.
Change the video title to “This guy talking for 25 minutes about a 22 minute show is fully hinged”
Well for a start the special is about an hour.
"Noooo! You can't spend more time analyzing a piece of media than the length of the media itself because... ...reasons."
I've heard a thousand people quote Monty Python, and I've never heard anyone quote the opening of that Holy Grail soundtrack album.
Always great to meet a fellow Pythonite. Cheers, bro!
