The guys in Gumboots and handkerchief hats were The Gumbies, a Python reoccurring set of characters.
And the previous sketch that ran into this one.
Didn't they end that saying" the arh-a-tech sketch" pointing up, and repeating that over and over and "up there" before it cuts up to the room where thus clip starts. They are still down there yelling then he tells them to shut up, they say sorry, and he dumps a pail of water on them?
@@jimwilcox2964 They say : "The architect sketch".
OK, here's another. For an amazing rant from John Cleese, look up The Dirty Fork. You'll love it!
I'm just surprised they thought they needed to put 'SATIRE' on the screen, since this was way before Grenfell.
The only one with the same quality of rants and anger, that comes to mind is Rhod Gilbert.
Brian... you started to hyperventilate there i think??! .😄😄
Well done .The funniest sketch I have seen from M. P. is ( the argument ) it's really clever .
? *Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps* ?
I think with the handshake theyre making fun of the freemasons
It wasn't just an awkward or goofy handshake... that was the satire! The architect who had a design that deliberately killed residents was rejected, and no further consideration was given to him because he wasn't a Freemason. The architect with a dodgy design that would almost certainly kill all the residents anyway was accepted because of his cost-cutting, and the fact it was revealed by the secret handshake that he was a Freemason 'Brother' all along.
In the decades following this sketch, deaths in buildings like these ended up happening. As somebody else in the comments has mentioned... look up 'Greenfell Tower Fire'.
P.S.) When you get around to reacting to Blackadder, Stephen Fry's characters can go a bit mental and ranty at times... especially one episode in Blackadder The Third, and in the courtroom scene about his dead pigeon in Blackadder Goes Forth.
Rod Gilbert's rants are some of the absolute best.
If you like John Cleese getting angry you will like THE DIRTY FORK SKETCH if you've not already done it.
My favourite cleese rant is at the end of the bicycle repair man sketch.
John Cleese in Fawlty towers "disciplining" his car!
They never did enough episodes of fawlty towers 😔
Specsavers made a series of tv commercials with John Cleese in them, based on that scene. Brilliant stuff.
You act quick 😮. Good job this was made years ago. It wouldn’t work now. Reminds too many people of Grenfell Tower
Definitely made me think of it! 😮
Perhaps, but the best place to find inadvertent anticipation of that disaster is Thunderbirds (1965).
Shocking looking back at this when you consider the disaster at Grenfell Tower which erupted into flames and because of the cladding which was flammable led to the deaths of many residents .
Just another example of Monty Python predicting the future. Along with the smug vegan restaurant, and "I want to be woman".
'Argument clinic' , 'Funniest joke' and 'Philosophy football'....some of my favourites
No they're not.
@@briwire138 Yes they are!
My favorite Monty Python skit. "Provided the tenants are of light build and relatively sedentary..." is always what gets me.
Victor Meldrew's (played by Richard Wilson) has some epic rants in 'One foot in the grave'.
If your' not familiar with this series then it's about a grumpy old man ranting at modern life. Great fun!
Fun fact: the theme of this sitcom was written and performed by one of the Python's, Eric Idle.
Cleese Anger Level 100! THE DIRTY FORK!
What is that thing smoking in the background?
Arguement is a great short one, or Philosophy Football Match is a bit longer. I think you'll like the Piranha Brothers as well, series of sketches done like a documentary on Krays style London gangsters. Top silliness
Doug and Dinsdale Piranah and their archnemesis Spiny Norman.
OK King Boomer. You must have seen Basil Fawlty beating his car!
I recommend the restaurant complaint sketch. You'll never complain about dirty cutlery again......
Then there's bicycle repair man, or maybe Doug and Dinsdale Piranha. The list goes on....
The Gumbies are best from Monty Python "My Brain Hurts"
That Ghastly lamp or whatever is awesome, love that👌😂
Good rants are Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) in The Thick of It.
Sam Kinison
"YOU EXCREMENT!" completely out of nowhere is top tier Cleese rage.
Volume and intensity? Brian Blessed :-) Plus he's hilarious.
The target was the masonic hand shake you took as awkward. Maybe you aught to look up the masons? You missed the joke entirely...
Probably pointed out already, but the "awkward handshake" was a MASONIC joke I think.
I'll second Rod Gilbert as a top notch ranter. His _attempting to buy a sandwich on a train_ probably being my favourite.
Top rants...Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It
You'll love "Bicycle repair man" :)
Not awkward handshakes. "Masonic" handshakes. Great reaction btw.
Have you done blackadder? Awesome series especially final one
Absolute switched-on parody of life's silliness.
Cleese can certainly shout, but check out Michael Palin in 'Marching up and down the square'..
Don't forget The Cheese Shop Sketch. John Cleese has to have the best memory in the world to pull it off. If you want to do something longer, then you can't do better than the film Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl. My all time favourite by them is in it and if you like physical comedy, you will love it, it's named, Monty Python - History of the Joke.
What's that pink thing on the left side of the screen?
Grenfell Tower, anyone?
That was my thought also - hasn't aged well this sketch, or , perhaps , it has aged well , in the sense that the Pythons pointed out , not caring about your tenants too much , going for a cheap and shoddy fix, can put their lives at risk.
@@argieav
It was supposed to be satire. Of course, so was Loretta.
Like a good rant check out Brian Blessed
Monty Python's 'Restaurant Sketch' is a classic early version of Cleese-gone-mad
'Your Tony Jacklin golf clubs'.......look it up.
Have you seen’Monkey Dust’? An animated series from the early 2000s
Those guys with the rolled-up trousers, braces & knotted handkerchieves are the ‘Gumbys’.
Parody of someone?
“My brain hurts!!”
My brain hurts too!
@@gamleskalle1 - I don’t think so. Although it used to be quite common to see folk at the seaside wearing knotted handkerchiefs on their heads.
@@timhicks2154 ok, thanks.... my brain hurts less now knowing this.
I had forgotten the architect sketch. It is a great one. And now for something completely different. I had forgotten the architect sketch. It is a great one.
Masonic handshake at the end.
Can't believe Graham Chapman passed away so long ago..1989 😣He was amazing in YELLOW BEARD. Really good.
Steve from the BBC comedy Coupling has a few good rants. Here are two of them
Steve Cushion Rage - Coupling

Steve Wants a Lock on the Toilet - Coupling

An American comedian who did "angry meltdown" well was Sam Kinnison... not quite up to Chernobyl-level by John Cleese, but a good Three-Mile-Isle-style...
Could they have made this now, post 9/11?
Back in the late 60s, this was truly groundbreaking. We'd had 'The Goons' & 'Round the Horne' on radio, & there was some mild political satire. But MPFC went EVERYWHARE & knew no boundaries.
Good Ranters:
Jonathan Pye - News Reporter
Rhod Gilbert - Any Stand up comedyshow
John Cleese -Python sketches, Clockwise movie
Victor Meldew - One foot in the grave
Ray Winston - Actor
etc.
YO BRIAN ,monty pythons flying circus , such a differrent class of comedy
NOW THEN Mr Blobby , who was part of a couple of tv shows ,
Noels Saturday Road show
The predecessor to
Noels house party , which won a Bafta ...
How about a bit of trivia about mr Blobby ,which I'll copy and paste ,
In the uk music charts mr Blobby knocked an artist of the no 1 slot .
The single reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart on 11 December 1993, replacing Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)", which had been in the No. 1 spot for seven weeks. A week later, "Babe" by Take That demoted Mr Blobby from the top spot for one week.
P.s if you want improv acting and add libbing ....plus countless tv actors / actresses .sports personalities , american tv actors
.totally whacky humour
The feel of 90s family love and all the uk been part of the show . And some oarts if america
..its got 190 shows on you tube
Check out noels house party ... you wont be disapointed . !!!
Sounds like the Cecil Hotel, I think you are forgetting David Mitchell, Lee Mack, Dylan Moran, Frank Kelly & Greg Davis
Has Some Mothers Do Ave Em been recommended to you? Incredibly funny. I’m currently watching it on the BBC iPlayer. Classic comedy!
The best Monty Python sketch was the Norwegian Blue Parrot/Lumberjack sketch.
I know you said you weren't going to do another but try this Python sketch, it's one of my favourites. Monty Python - Climbing the North Face of the Uxbridge Road ua-cam.com/video/9U0tDU37q2M/v-deo.html.
MY SON AND I SAW JOHN CLEESE AT CARPENTER CENTER ABOUT 14 YEARS AGO. ONE NIGHT WITH HIM M...HE WAS HILARIOUS😂😂😂😂
The rise - if you'll forgive the pun - of tower block living in London, where the old bombed-out parts of the capital were slowly being replaced, also led to cost-cutting and exploitation of tenants. Something which was reflected in a terrible fire in North London some years ago. So, as usual, Python doesn't just speak for the time in which it was made. And I still have to applaud any comedy mind that flashes 'SATIRE' on the screen.
Cleese doing set design for level 1 of tomb raider lol 😅
I always find it interesting how Cleese, who this is quirky but terribly analytical man, could produce such total red-faced boiling-mad outrage. It's clearly hiding in there somewhere.
John Cleese once described his character on Fawlty Towers and being someone who thought hotel management would be a wonderful job if it wasn't for the guests. ;)
Also, another good "John Cleese goes berserk" sketch would be the self-defense class. Just sayin'...
It rhymes with John Sleaze. I enjoy lots of their sketches. Try Flying Lessons, or 2 sheds Jackson.
Y'know, I was watching the Best Sketch Ever video (GOOORN), and I saw Boomer's reaction to it, and I thought to myself "y'know what sketch I reckon Boomer would love? The Architect sketch."
And lo and behold. And yes, in many ways, this was the genesis of Basil Fawlty.
I know what Boomer was really here for was Cleese, but just to clarify the confusing opening that's because the sketch was slightly truncated. The programme begins with a card and voiceover that states "The BBC would like to apologise for the next announcement." You then see all five Pythons (sans Gilliam) dressed as Mr. Gumby, an iconic and beloved recurring Monty Python character who represents a working class idiot. Here is what happens next:
Gumbys, in unison: Hello, and welcome to the show. Without more ado, our first item is a sketch about architects. Called...the Architect sketch!
PAUSE
Gumbys, louder: The architect sketch!
PAUSE
Gumbys, louder: the architect sketch! *they point to the top of the building* Up there! Up there! Up there!
CUT TO CHAPMAN IN OFFICE WITH PALIN AND JONES. This is where Boomer comes in with the Gumbys still audible from the window shouting "Architect sketch!" and "up there!" at the tops of their lungs. He is annoyed and yells at them to shut up. Then they start shouting sorry and Chapman pours the bucket of water on them. And so on and so forth.
Now for something a bit more like it . John Cleese , trying to join the Masons in typical madcap fashion and 70s business values .
If it wasn't so tragic, you could almost apply some of the meeting comments to the commissioning of Grenfell Tower...
Comedian Jerry Sadowitz is a good ranter, though none of his stuff is comercially available lol
You should definitely look at This Country or Bad Education!! You’d love them
For a good rant, try Rick Mayall in ‘Bottom’.
In fact I think Bottom is right up your sense of humour KB.
My favourite is when Basel when Basel Faulty thrashes his car in the Gourmet night episode of faulty Towers.
Check out Gryff Rhys Jones in Not the Nine O' Clock news impersonation of John McEnroe.
Monty Python's Flying Circus is best viewed as whole episodes instead of loose sketches as sketches tend to blend into each other wwith references to other sketches and characters.
Some of the jokes play with the format of the sketch show.
Reportedly, John Cleese's dad changed their family name from Cheese, so that gives a hint to the pronunciation.
As funny as this is, it's even better on their comedy album. The other "raging lunatic" bits by John Cleese are the angry chef in the "dirty knife" restaurant and of course, the martial arts instructor who teaches defense against fresh fruit.
Have you seen the Minehead bye-election sketch were John Cleese plays the role of Mr Hilter the National Bocialist candidate.
John Cleese was a very angry man for a large part of his life. It took years of therapy and three failed marriages before he overcame it. His stories about his mother tell the tale. Imagine a female John Cleese suffering from recurring bouts of deep depression who threw tantrums when anything upset her, but she had that sense of humor. One time when she was feeling particularly down, John told her that he knew of a man in a nearby town who would come over and kill her on request. There was a long silence and then she broke into laughter.
King Brian, as you are a fan of John Cleese, I suggest you try the movie " Clockwise " !
The best ranter is probably Jerry Sadowitz, but it would be really difficult for you to find suitable for youtube material to watch.
Python is so good. Check out "and now for something completely different' they redid their greatest hits into a movie, mainly to introduce it to america.
My brain hurts!
My brain hurts too!
I'd suggest watching full episodes of the flying circus, they work so well seen as a whole and better than separate sketches :)
Self-defense against fresh fruits is a classic Cleese skit worth checking out (in addition to all the great recommendations in the comments), but make sure you react to the full version from the tv show, not many of the cut versions around that is missing half of the skit
You should watch Mitchell and Webb Look: Linden Trees.
Al Murray, from time to time will go on some epic rants that come close to Cleese but not all the way. Thinking about it now, Cleese is most certainly the king of ranting.
And yes, I don’t know if the Monty team knew something we didn’t or it was just such an insane coincidence but yea…
If you want to see John Cleese really lose his sh*t - check out the sketch, The Dirty Fork. 😂
You should watch the Hungarian Phrasebook or Mr Hilter sketches
This was made in the era of urban renewal, ie putting people in tower blocks, to replace the terrace housing.
It's pronounced with a "Z" as in, Cheese, Please!!
Or this Cleese and Palin Python sketch - it is the shortest and involves fish.. ua-cam.com/video/T8XeDvKqI4E/v-deo.html
The explosion at the end is such perfect comedic timing.
please watch Bicycle Repair Man. Python sketch.
Well a pile of...... really not funny anymore, in the day they were, unfortunately never aged well!
What the hell is that thing emitting smoke in the background. Was it designed by one of the architects?
If you want to see John at his most scary, then watch the dirty fork sketch
John Cleese was suffering from all sorts of mental illnesses at the time. It's not hard to see. Yet it's hilarious.
Block of flats = apartment building.
They're usually not fitted with rotating knives (but I suppose there's always the odd exception).
Unless it's in certain parts of London, in which case they're the rule rather than the exception.
Boomer! When are you gonna do season 8 and 9 of Peep Show? Believe it or not they get even more mental
