Monty Python - Chemist sketch
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- Well, this is actually the last eight and a half minutes of The Buzz Aldrin Show (season 2, episode 17), including two Gumby announcements, the Chemist sketch and general madness of the lovely Pythons :D
"Of course, there really isn't a basement, he just goes off camera and we pretend."
I love Eric Idle.
Go off
And I love the wink
Remarkably, Buzz Aldrin is still alive 52 years later.
That's one of the most deliciously surreal sketches they ever did. Hardly any structure at all. The whole thing is just so marvellously semprini.
Alright, that’s it!
We finally have Internet access and you are now arrested!
Here here, well spoken Bruce.
Roight! Off with you then.
This week oye have been mostly eatin seabass. Oh, wrong show, I'll get me coat.
My hovercraft is full of eels
*This comment has been removed as a violation of UA-cam's policy on,* the word Semprini
I didn't expect a kind of Youtubish inquisition
No it hasn't
OI!! OUT!!
🚔
"Semprini"
I love how you can see elements of different python jokes in all their work. They mentioned the parot and the officer also used the word "ptang" which in Holy Grail was part of what the knights of "Ni" said - "icky, icky ptang!!"
The first time I ever got an STD scare, I went to that dingy little clinic, left a blood and a urine sample, and waited with all those people- nobody making small talk, nobody even looking at anyone else in the room, just a dead, embarrassed silence... all I could think of was, "WHO'S GOT THE POX?"
And!!??
@@paulstewart6293 Turned out I was clean...
4:07 "Ah!" and we see him standing off camera. Absolute genius.
Followed by the wink at 4:16.
Blimey, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!
...NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!
sahiblindberg no it isn 't
What a show!
*dramatic and startling music plays*
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPA- Oh bugger...
I love when the entire cast all played Mr. Gumby’s.🤣
Except for Terry Gilliam. He just animated them.
Not me. Most of this was funny but I find the Gumby's just tedious. Also the Pepperpots.
“Semprini…it’s such a tinny word, isn”t it?”
"OUT!"
I’d say there’s a woody quality to it
dreadfully tinny
Semprini was a popular light musician/pianist in the UK back in the day. Well, 'popular' in the sense that your great-great grandma would've liked him; a sort of English Liberace or Lawrence Welk type.
Thank you public television for bringing us Monty Python (and Marty Feldman's Comedy machine) in my teenage years. Comedy genius.
They really had a lot of mileage out of that storefront set! The Chemist Sketch, The Dead Parrot Sketch, The Pet Conversion Sketch, The Cheese Shop Sketch, The Lingerie Shop Sketch,... the list must be endless!
The Semprini Sketch!
@@martinbynion1589 That was an extension of The Chemist Sketch.
The tobacconist/Hungarian/English dictionary sketch.
The watch smuggler!
A shopping list
"It is not BBC policy to get easy laughs with words like bum, knickers, botty or wee wees."

Semprini?
OUT!!!!!
Not policy ... but it is standard procedure.
"...and should not be construed as having any other significance."
*cut to Buzz Aldrin, The Buzz Aldrin Show*
“Aren’t you gonna say, ‘what’s all this then?‘.”
"Who's got the chest rash?"
(pause)
"Have to get a bigger bottle."
LMFAO!!
Second best after 'Have to get a bigger boat!'
My favourite sketch of The Buzz Aldrin Show
The not at all naughty chemist should have been arrested for using the word toilet.
Just demolishing the forth wall. LMAO
Kalligraphi yes, but in a comic way. Not in a deadpool way.
With Monty Python the fourth wall is an endangered species.
"RIGHT! I'm taking you down to the station!"
"What for?"
"I'm charging you with illegal possession of whatever we happen to have down there!"
That line gets me every time lol
I always loved *"The Buzz Aldrin Show"*.
Comedy gold like this simply doesn't exist now
less hard drugs in the writing room i guess
@@nunyabiznis3595 I'd say it was more like booze. Graham Chapman was hitting it pretty hard.
Alberto Fernando Riccardo Semprini (1908 January 19, 1990) was an English pianist, famous for appearances on the BBC, mainly on radio.
Semprini Serenade rings a bell
All right, who''s got the boil on his pianist?
@@TheGreatAtario Jolly good show
Then he was 62 when this was aired. But looks like he had sense for humor.
I always thought it was Gary Semprini from Ipswich. The unknown creator of the hot dog. He will be upset when he finds out. He's 104 years old now. And it's the only pleasure he has since being deleted from Wikipedia.
"This man has been shoplifting, officer!" "Oh yes?" "Yes!" "Are you trying to tell me my job?" "No but he's been shoplifting!" "Look, I must warn you that everything you may say will be ignored! Furthermore, given half a chance I'll put my fist through your teeth! PTANG PTANG!"
That and this:
"RIGHT! I'm taking you down to the station!" "What for?!?""I'm charging you with illegal possession of whatever we happen to have down there!"
That last line gets me every time XD God bless the Chaps!
We loved this. The next day at school was very funny. A Friday, I think.
Monty python permanently changed humour for millions of us. Amazing, really. BBC indoctrination.
SEMPRINI.
Love all Pythons but my God Michael Palin is awesome.
Right. Who's got a boil on his semprini, then?
OUT!!!
You cannot say semprini... oh no...
drsonicfan
OUT!!!
You do!

I'mma say it...

OUT
*Bobbies are after him!*
how the hell has this aged so well
Good comedy is timeless.
Like a fine Red Leicester that we unfortunately just ran out of.
Everything ages well. It's some people who can't accept that.
@@MXB2001 "Everything ages well": how can you prove this?
@@MXB2001 humor that's just someone's bigotry said in a funny way isn't comedy.
The only realistic part was where the cop let the real culprit run and stole some of the goods himself.
If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need aftershave
50yr later, don't get it.
"If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need aftershave".
"I wouldn't need aftershave" is the punchline.
It's a reference to an old mucky postcard joke, large lady asking for talcum powder, walk this way madam says the skinny shop assistant....
This episode is one of my absolute favourites of the entire show. Series 2 overall was simply excellent.
A toilet requisit-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-te!
How Michael Palin didn't lose it I shall never know...
0:54 Here's what the "rude" pharmacist (Chemist) was describing.
Pox: Most likely Gonorrhea
Boil on the bum: self-explanatory
The Winds: Excessive gas
As for the "chest rash"...😉
True pioneers of meta humor.
I watched this with my mom once, and she said the five Gumbies were better off as frogs!
Had she been a witch she might have turned them into newts.
Love the way this show portrayed police, as did many other UK comedy afterwards (no doubt due to Python influences)
The M&W sketch with the cop bullying the community support officer comes to mind.
"The BBC would like to apologise to the police for the character of Police Constable PanAm; it was not meant to be representative of the average police officer. Similarly, the reference to Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut, was the product of a disordered mind, and should be construed as having no other significance."
...have to get a bigger bottle.
sahiblindberg Hah - thanks!
41 people have a boil on their Semprini.
OUT!!!!!!
UPDATE: 43 people wear the Semprini aftershave.

Great Scott I finally understand the references to the Spanish Inquisition sketch
Better late than never. No time Toulouse!
“NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!”
Ah, Monty Python. Making my laugh until my Semprini hurts.
I'd like to buy a license for my pet Semprini - - - Eric !
God, I've seen this sketch so many times over the years, and not ONCE did I get the "mad one, mad two" joke.
Palin really is Gumby in Chief, isn't he?
He did the best Gumby, no doubt. The professor who argued that the Battle of Trafalgar was fought on dry land, near Cudworth, Yorkshire. "Because Drake... was too clever... for the German... fleet!"
Grahams FATANG FATANG always crack me up.
May I present Mr. Fim Tin Win Lim Bim Bus-Stop F'Tang F'Tang Ole' Biscuit-Barrel.
@@simonmultiverse6349ah, the Silly Party candidate.
Masterpiece, I’ll never forget the first time I saw this. And right at 2:02 I lost it.
Whenever someone asks me what's on TV I always stare over at it for a second and say, "...looks like a penguin!"
This may seem easy like child's play, but it's hard work! Appreciate it!
After all these years I finally found out what a Semprini is. Thanks, commenters.
@05:27 - “…. Nice and scaley!” Lmfao 🤣

"The BBC would like to apologise for the behaviour of Police Constable Pan Am in that last sketch. He is not a typical example of a Metropolitan Police Officer. Similarly, any references to the astronaut Buzz Aldrin are the products of a disordered mind and should be treated accordingly."
Two types in the world those who love Monty Python and those with don't have a sense of humor.
I nominate "Nobody remembers who the second man to walk on the moon was" as a candidate for the Top 10 shabbiest, most ill-considered cliche's. Everybody who is anybody remembers that it was Buzz Aldrin. Why would that fact be forgotten? The chap's name is Buzz. That's fun-to-know trivia if I ever had any sneak up and bite me on the arse.
The 4th wall exploded
Alberto Semprini, or Semprini, was an English pianist, composer and conductor
OUT
i've seen about a million MP sketches, and always wondered how they didn't crack uo every 2 seconds.. Is here any such thing as a MP outtake reel? I hope not- I like to think they NEVER "lost it." Funniest show in history, either side of the pond.
A five-frog curse.. It's all in these details. Their writing abilty will never be equaled. Ever.
"Who's got a boil on his semprini?"
Many cite the parrot sketch as the best Python sketch ever, but this may be the most ingenious.
Well, after pushing the Chapman's ashes over a the edge of a table.
I enjoy Cleese acting like a human thesaurus, but I actually think the Parrot Shop & Cheese Shop sketches stop being funny after the second or third viewing. Clever, but a bit longwinded.
I find this one much better just because it has multiple jokes within the larger joke.
@@koholos At least twice they've subverted the Parrot Sketch just to see what Cleese will ad lib. One of the times when it was suggested that he take a cat as exchange and he asked "does it talk" he got the answer "Yes." Another night when he first announced the parrot was dead the shop clerk said "Ok well I'd better replace it for you then."
All I can say to your post ... surmising the parrot is the best is ::: """ tis'nt """
You can obviously say you were not expecting the Spanish Inquisition.
5:12 I Didn't Expect the Spanish Inquisition
I did... And they didn't even show up... What the hell is this?
***** Oh yes we Do!
*NOOOOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!*
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH SEMPRINI..... oh no....
fzerowipeoutlover OUT!
Did anyone else noticed a very quick image and sound in between Ken Shabby's line "keeps my skin nice and scaly" and "uh sorry again can't stop"? It's just one of many instances in the series of rough edits left intact in episodes that suggest cut scenes. Judging from the "I..." sound and image, it's appears to be John Cleese.
I remember, .... I remember being _just_ _the_ _right_ _age_ to accidentally find Monty Python on PBS and have it affect my sense of humor to this day. Just old enough to take it in, and just young enough that I spent the next ten years desperately trying to find it again, not realizing I was there at a very special moment in history when Monty Python sued the US Government and WON! Cheeky Brits...
I have one critique for this: After the chemist said "Blimey, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition", they should've waited a second for the Spanish Inquisition to jump in, emphasizing the fact that they weren't. Other than that, brrrriliant!
The expression: "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!" was a common phrase at that time, spoken by anybody who felt that they were being overly scrutinized or harassed. The humour lies in the very fact several men dressed like Spaniards from the era of Inquisition show up after Cleese emits that perfectly common complaint.
The real Buzz Aldrin show was filmed in a studio and on location (hidden by cloak of secrecy) somewhere.
All my friends preferred Thunderbirds which had color and more action
I totally crack up at 5.16 when Michael Palin goes 3 types, no FOURR! kinds of aftershave lotion! & Graham Chapman policeman! bursts in at 6.10 and shouts!!!> 'Right, right RRRRIGHT!! bRILLIANTNESS! U.S end credits- great!
"Right! I'm taking you along to the station. I'm charging you with illegal possession of whatever we happen to have down there!" U.S. Police in a nutshell.
Ben Glaser Exactly
Also the English police at the time.
When they both double-take at the mention of parrot I lose my shit. Amazing bit, this.
Once in a lifetime comedy genius.50 yrs old.never ages
The Gumby's are just the best. There is no group of fools quite like The Gumby''s. After how many decades are The Gumby's Number One at being stupid? Not a single decade! Gotta say, if I was a fighter ace I might say a little different but, on the whole, The Gumby's make me smile.. If not laugh stupidly.
There is a work-around: the singular, 'semprino', is not banned.
This video needs to be flagged for gratuitous amounts of Semprini.
(Not serious before anyone's dumb to do it.)
OUT!!!
What would we all watch back when we had 6 channels? Funny stuff!!!
@kubaniski They are the Gumbies, a classic Monty Python staple
I have been looking for a "toilet requisittttttttte" for TEN YEARS. All I could remember is Michael Palin repeating the 'tttt'. I used to do it to annoy my parents. :D I still do, actually....
Occasionally, I'll ring my dad up and throw in a 'requisitttttttte". He usually hangs up on me.
Also, mad ONE ,mad TWO mad THREE, mad FOUR.
Most of my childhood is memories of me annoying my parents.....ah yes, Inspector Toad of the Yard!
I have two favorite foods, pizza, tacos and...I have three favorite foods..
EE -ECKY -THOMP sound effects when my parents send me to my room and I can lay on the floor and watch them from under the door...
Classic. Tragically, currently this is happening seriously in many countries around the world.
I've said "F'tang! F'tang!" ever since. Funnily enough, Buzz Aldrin also gave a moon landing denier the ol' F'tang F'tang.
These guys were/are the Greatest! Have loved them almost all of my life. Carry on, stiff upper lip and all that....
Love it. I lost count of the quick references to so many other sketches: halibut, parrot, Spanish Inquisition, etc.
It's a variant of an old vaudeville joke:
Male Customer - I would like to buy some talcum powder
Saleslady - Walk this way please.
Male Customer - If I could walk THAT way, I wouldn't need the talcum powder!
Because early vaudeville relied on visual humour rather than in-your-face verbal humour, the saleslady usually was cast as a young, sexy showgirl who would walk in a provocative manner when she directs the (male) customer.
As with The Goon Show, part of what dazzled me about MP was that combination of old chestnuts like that with surreality and fourth-wall humor.
I wonder what Buzz Aldrin had to say about it when this appeared on the screen for the first time.
Dude change the title, this is not monty python, this is the popular Finland t.v. show "The Buzz Aldrin show"
HerzeleidRmmstn :'D
Did we have a "Buzz Aldrin Show" in Finland? I do not recall that...😀 but we've had a plenty of Monty Python( and The Goodies)
I named my first pet snake after this show, Semprini the Ball Python
"Right, right, RIIIGHT! Now then, now then.." 'your turn'. "Aren't you going to say 'what's all this, then?'" "oh, right. What's all this, then?" Kills me everytime.
Kills you? A murder! Allow to introself myduce, I am inspector Tiger of the Yard.
Michael and Eric are hilarious in this :D
That's the funniest I've ever seen Graham Chapman! So nice to see the usual Straight Man cut loose!
He's not, I'm a witness!
I watched this stuff when I was around 9…. It’s the reason why I didn’t bother with oxbridge.
I'll do you for heresy!
Heresy?? Blimey, I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition
If I could walk that way I wouldn't need aftershave.
I... HOPE... YOU'RE... EN... JOY... ING... THIS!
THIS!
Who are those guys anyway, the ones that wear the vests
The Shim Sham Man I was asking myself the same thing. I think they're just recurring characters like the Spanish Inquisition and the 16 ton weight
Hehe....Eric and Micheal are so cute in this!
And omg Graham Chapman was the funniest thing on this earth!
P-TANG! P-TANG!
love him!!
Wacky, surreal and marvelously Pythonesque! Thanks!
I was laughing so hard, I sempeini in my pantsuit
"oh, that's nice" made me roflmaocopter :D
Those monbty pythons are very silly, naughty people.
"Sorry, Sir. A lot of steps." (wink) The Buzz Aldrin show is one of my top 5 favorite episodes.
Curiously, Buzz Aldrin punched out a jerk 45 years later."p-tang! p-tang!" 6:32
Rancid polecats number 2, keeps my skin nice and scaly ...lol
