This is one of my favorite python skits. And I love the subtle things they do in a skit like the seen at the end when Michael Palin stops by to see Terry Jones. The first time Terry Jones has a standard mustache, the second time his mustache is thinner and higher up on his lip and the 3rd time he has no mustache at all. No explanation or reason for it. Love it.
I really like this sketch, especially the part with the telephone and the glass of water, that is brilliant in it's simplicity. The hilarity of the sketch is gradually reduced towards the end of the sketch, but you still feel the wit is there, and that part sort of works as the "closing words" of the episode. And as has been pointed out before, the repetitiveness never actually gets really repetitive, which is great.
What gets me whenever I watch the episodes and see something as brilliant and existential as this is that at the time this was shot, Michael Palin was only 27 years old and a few years out of school. John, the oldest, was 31. I know of no 20-something comedians today who have such sharp minds. And do direct me if they're out there. Doesn't it seem like people were more mature and sophisticated at earlier ages back in the day?
When I saw the Star Trek:TNG episode "Cause and Effect", which had a deja vu-inspired plot due to a causal loop in time, this skit came immediately to mind. Picard said they were examining the Typhon Expanse...I instantly thought, "More like the Python Expanse..." :-)
Also, any time my friends and I would watch something happen repeatedly, we'd immediately quote, "Tonight on It's The Mind..." It was one of many inside, running Python jokes we shared.
Thanks for posting one of the all-time great sketches! It's been a while since I've seen it, but the callback to the exploding, taxidermized animals nearly made me fall off my chair! BWAHAHAHA!!!
One time, my friends TV got broken, he decided to take it to the repair service, he does not have a a car, so he had to use public transport, metro in that particular case. He placed his tv on a little carrige and he also took his four year old son with him. On the station, when he got out of the train and was going to the elevator, there was a guy with bunch of posters walking in front of him, as it turned out, heading to the elevator aswell. When they get there his son shouted "can I push the button?" drawing the attention of the man with the posters to them. A guy with a kid and a TV set on the little carrige - the poster-man saw. After a while my friend noticed that he got out on the wrong station, he should did that on the next one - so he have gone back to the metro, to get to the right one. On the next station, the right one, while he was going to the elevator again, in front of him walked, also to the damn elevator, the same guy with the posters as before, and when my friends son shouted again to him, just like before, if he can push the button, the guy with the posters got really surprised, shocked even - I imagine his reaction at that moment to be something like Palins in 1:44 (sorry for my bad english)
F r u -- Man, that has to be my favorite deja vu story ever! My deja vu usually has to do with my wife coming downstairs to tell me to get off the Internet and go to sleep already. ;-)

The opening chord arpeggio is from Reubke's Organ Sonata. I had a deja vu of the vids I had recently watched... And the sound was too familiar! It is approximately 8 minutes from the beginning in the first part of the Sonata. It's devastating - to listen to organ music for too long...
This is my favourite sketch along with the Science Fiction Sketch, especially when he screams when he zones out from the Psychology supplies float LOL:D
Wow. This is one of the best sketches I have ever seen. Hmm, I think I'll watch it again. Wow. This is one of the best sketches I have ever seen. Hmm, I think I'll watch it ag-AAAAARGH
Was just listening to a totally unrelated podcast and heard someone say "It's the mind." Immediately I thought of this sketch and the intro. Love the shot with Terry Jones with the egg on his head
This is the sketch that I was planning not to watch next week as I had not seen it the week before. If I did watch it next week then it would have been pointless to have watched last week as well.
I thought of this sketch the other day when I was eating at a restaurant and the waitress kept bringing me drink refills. "No, fine, thank you, fine." *guy sits glass of water down* "Aah!!"

Deja Vu, a personal favorite sketch of mine! What a brilliant way to make repetition hilarious and uncanny, just like real Deja Vu! A personal favorite sketch of mine! What a brilliant way to make repetition hilarious and uncanny, just like real Deja Vu.
Michael Palin is such a brilliant actor. The expressions of deepening anxiety and paranoia that he pulls are what make this sketch so funny.
This actually borders on being a horror story.
Watch the film - 'In the dead of night'
It's just like a bad acid trip I had :S
Sorta like Groundhog Day...
(Though less violent than Happy Death Day)

@@ewaf88 which year was it made? there is a few of them
Manages to be funny and utterly terrifying at the same time..
I think I have seen this comment before. Isn't that funny?

I don't believe I've ever seen this sketch before...or have I?
there are a few others that relates to this
*vSauce music plays *
Must be the case of déjà vu
Monty Python's class on how to turn 50 seconds of film into a four minute sketch, without anyone really noticing.

The building he goes down the stairs from and into the milk float, is the YMCA Youth Club in Paignton, Devon! Went there when I was a kid!
I searched for "MONTY PYTHON SKETCH I HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE" and it gave me this. How ironic, especially considering I hadn't seen it before.
Or have you?

No internet, more people read books, better education, different mentalities at the time.
gets MY vote as one of the TOP FIVE funniest python bits ever
This is utterly brilliant, I feel sick from laughing. One of my fave flying circus sketches.
"havent i seen you before?" well this is monty python, everybody looks like everybody else
I feel like I've seen this again

Sean Wilkinson me and my dad too (second comment)
One of my many all-time favorite sketches of their's.
Look at Terry Jones's moustache at the end :D
Monty Python blows SNL out of the water
Christopher Post And SNL simply blows . . .
I like how at the end, Terry Jones' moustache keeps changing

first half is possibly one of the best python sketches I've ever seen before.. and I've seen a LOT!
Palin's reactions are what make this sketch so hilarious.
Palin's reactions are what make this sket-Wait a minute!!!
1974, I was 15 and I saw this for the first time on PBS here in Cincinnati. It was beyond a Revelation
Look at the psychiatrist's mustache each time...
From a directors' perspective, this has got to be one of the easiest films they ever made... :-)
he is soooo cute in the sketch, and I love it when he screams
I keep watching this over and over again!
Michael looks particularly adorable in this sketch.
ill never forget the first time i saw this sketch,
i laughed so much i nearly shit my pants!
classic monty python!
I have a strange feeling...that...you've nearly shat your pants...before...
...Tonight, on It's the Mind...
...I have a strange feeling...
This is my favourite sketch along with the Science Fiction Sketch, especially when he screams when he zones out from the Psychology supplies float LOL:D

Was just listening to a totally unrelated podcast and heard someone say "It's the mind." Immediately I thought of this sketch and the intro. Love the shot with Terry Jones with the egg on his head
Indeed. Python used to air in the late evening and I saw this as a kid... absolutely unnerving.
When he comes out of the building and onto the milk cart, this was filmed at the YMCA centre on Dartmouth Road Paignton.
2:33-2:34 "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" LOL
I can see how Monty pythons bizarre humour inspired Reeves and Mortimer which has such weird sketches too. I love this style of comedy!
This is great. Just when the deja vu starts to feel a little too repetitive, they add something to jazz it up.
The first conceptualization of black mirror
this sketch is so well made it is creepy. Without the laughters it could very well be a short thriller
This skit sort of reminds me of that long-gone 1 panel comic, The Far Side by Gary Larson. Genius.
This oughta give those fellows behind "Black Mirror" a laugh. 👽
I've seen this before.
I've seen this before.
I've...
The position of the beard changes, showing that it's not deja vu but reality, which is a wonderful irony.
Is that Terry Jones with an egg on his head?
this was a very well done skit imo
That was a very clever skit on deja vu.
That was a very clever skit on.....whoa....DEJA VU!
That was a very clever...AAAAAGH!
Now I feel REALLY bad for all those times I soft-reset my Pokemon game because something unfavourable had happened in it.
2:51, Michael Palin missed a chance to meet his clone.
Love how the camera zooms in, he screams, then runs out. Hilarious!
Really funny. I think this is one of my favourite sketches.
this is one of my favourite sketches!
Micheal Palin is my fave Python!!! =DD
One of my fav sketches
Terry Jones with an egg on his head...
I feel like I've lived through this sketch before.
It's Okay To Be smart!
There's a terrible glitch in the Matrix.
So you've noticed too, eh? 😵
This is scarier than The Shining.
This is the sketch that I was planning not to watch next week as I had not seen it the week before. If I did watch it next week then it would have been pointless to have watched last week as well.
You ARE a loony ! ( sorry, that was in another sketch) .
I think I've commented on this video before...
Deja Vu I've been in this place before higher than the streets...
I showed this episode to my kids and we were rolling on the floor at this ending!
Bill Murray had it easy compared to Michael Palin here
Now there's also Happy Death Day
goo.gl/images/2LFa4b
Towards the end it gets a bit like 'Lost' lol
this is the freakiest monty phyton sketch I have ever seen o-o I remember as I saw it for the first time I was so freaked out the whole day hahah xD
This is my all-time favorite MP skit.
This happens to me all the time...
Hahahaha, that must be one of my favorite Monty Python skits!
the part of the phone and the glass is absolutely awsome hahaha.....god monty python is really brilliant :D
My favorite part is when he picks up the phone and screams.
Really funny. I think this is one of my favourite sketches... OK, I'll stop.
One of their best episodes!
I like how he is drinking from an empty glass
Watched just yesterday I think and yet watching it again
The theme song to this sketch is the glue that puts it together!
0:00 for end of video.
that's what hell must be like: repeating the same thing for eternity
imagine michael had to cut the same hair for five years and feels dejavu so he keeps doing it for eternity though he hates it.
I feel like I've read these comments before..
I feel like i've read these comments before...
I get this funny feeling...that I've watched this video before...I have a terrible feeling of deja vu...
Uh...wait a minute. This is weird.
Oy, haven't I seen you somewhere before?
+the Sententious Vaunter Uh...no, I don't think so... (pondering, then hearing voices and typewriter tapping)...I need to see someone, I think.
Oy, haven't I seen you somewhere before?
I loovee this skit
And I love Eric idle as well :)
Haven't I seen this before?
I need to run away to a milk truck about 100 times.
Yeah, the zoo sounds like a plan.....oh wait!
It is deja vu that has brought you back here, to watch this again.
The Stanley Parable is pretty much like this but 10x more of a mind fuck lol
But, that's Michael Palin.
@zcarrell "Monty Python's Flying Circus" was taped before a live audience.
this video is older then me
I thought of this sketch the other day when I was eating at a restaurant and the waitress kept bringing me drink refills. "No, fine, thank you, fine." *guy sits glass of water down* "Aah!!"
@DANWOODHOUSE That's Terry Jones. He appears as the psychiatrist at the end of the sketch.
Like and comment below if your here from It's Ok To Be Smart!

If you're British, you did...an hour ago on 'Dave'!
The theme music bears a vague resemblance to the opening bars of 'Across 110th Street' by Bobby Womack.
@jabberwocky88-absolutely my favorite part as well. Was thinking the image would make a great (if a bit obscure) t-shirt design.
Brilliantly chilling
