Divide everything Salesman B says by 10. Multiply everything Salesman A says by 3. So if Salesman A tells you to divide everything Salesman B says by 10, you must first multiply it by 3, then divide the result by 10 accordingly. By the same token, if Salesman B tells you to multiply everything Salesman A tells you by 3, you must first divide it by 10 and so on and so forth. To quote the bard: MY BRAIN HURTS!
Notice how Mr. Verity said "dogkennel", while the customers said "dogkennels", plural. Perhaps the peculiar Mr. Lambert is in fact so peculiar that one letter's margin of error is all it takes for him to forget it's the codeword for mattress
You must remember that Timoffex does tend to understate things, so when he tells you that a video has been disliked by 30/10ths of a viewer, he does in fact mean 70/10ths. Apart from that, he's really all right.
God Just love MP so much I really want to cry because of delight(( The guys from MP would fucking laugh so much at me for these words and would be so right. But I really love you guys because you chaneged my world. Thank you. So much
I noticed something they should have caught: Mr. Verity should have said that they needed to multiply every figure by 30, since every number he gave had to be divided by 10. I know it's a nitpick, and I didn't catch it the first billion times I watched it, but it does seem funny to me now.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Pant... Pant... I'm still laughing on the inside. Poor lady. What song were they singing to cure Mr. Lambert of the bag-over-the-head?
when he says you have to multiply everything he says by 3, doesn't he mean you have to multiply by .3 because you have to divide everything he says by 10, but then wouldn't you say that you have to multiply everything he says by 3 and 1/3 because you have to divide everything he says by 3. And if i wanted to get a dog kennel i would just go to a different store at this point.
When i worked in a store and had a code for things: Like if there was a beautiful woman in the store we sad great spam 9 o'clock. 9 o'clock. was the derecrion she was walking. We played a game then, who could hold the woman bizzy the longest. he won a free lunch that day.
Let's all buy a giant tea chest & stand in it and sing to bring Graham back!
It's like summoning Satan but better.
well, okay, but we might need a virgin sacrifice.
The noise she lets off at the end of the sketch sounds like a kettle that needs taking off the hob.

I love the ferocious speed that Graham puts on that bag!

***** GREAT, 4 times now. Get into the box and help us to sing.
+vitormaluco Too late for that now. We're into the bunny hop stage.
The bride sounds like a tea kettle at the end =). I love this sketch, and of course, all the other ones.
"But it's my only line!" Yes, but quoted SO often in history since.
XD God. This is British humour at its very best - Monty bloody Python. Love them always
Yes! One of the very best ones!
PLEASE: Don't say "very." Now I have to stand in the tea chest!
I love her squeal at the end. XD
13 people need to take the bags off of their heads.
That's right. 130 people really do
Oh my god. My Monty Python I've ever seen!
one of the best truly!!
How is it that Graham Chapman can illicit hysterical laughter just by putting a bag on his head? XD
I'm never going to say "mattress" in a bed shop ever again XD
And they just hop out of the sketch. Genius.
Which is exactly why they were in such a hurry to begin with.
Man and I thought my sense of humor was warped :)
"Did you say mattress?"
"A little, yes...
LOL
Yes! That's exactly the point! Or you're over thinking this and it is just pure ridiculousness. On second thought, this is silliness.
Why does Eric say 'twice' at 3.55?^^' I mean, he multiplies... I've seen it too many times. I have no life(
Amazing!
I learned the song Jerusalem at a very young age from listening to this sketch many times before bed on the cd my dad gave me
beautiful acting , i like this scene
"But it's my only line!!" xD

i laughed out load all along :DD
Graham is briliant!
I almost died from laughing when I saw this first time!
WE NEED MORE!!!
He also should have said that they said mattress 20 times instead of twice.
God Just love MP so much I really want to cry because of delight(( The guys from MP would fucking laugh so much at me for these words and would be so right. But I really love you guys because you chaneged my world. Thank you. So much
Apparently that's the general sentiment around here, lmao.
that kind of logic gets people hurt you know
I would stand in a tea chest for years if it would bring Graham back.
Somebody said "mattress" to Mr. Lambert--TWICE!
I wonder how they figured out they had to sing THAT song.
Manager: *looks over the application* So I understand you want to work at this mattress st-
*puts a bag over his head*
He should have said that you have to multiply every figure Mr. Lambert gives by 30, not 3.
At the end she sounds like a teakettle coming to a boil....
"... but it's my only line...."
"Did you say "Mattress"?"
"Er, a little, yes."
What must Mr Lambert think when he removes the bag and sees his collegues in a tea chest singing...?
Best trolls ever
you're crazier than they are
I gave this video 50 stars!
Damn. 160 bucks for a bed. That's not bad.
God knows what they would have had to do if somebody said mattress to Mr Lambert 4 times!
he thinks "can I help you?"
Her laugh sounds like a dolphin
I would also carry Carol Cleveland that far to buy a bed.
kettle boiling at the end
Mistake by Idle at the end. He said that they said mattress twice to Mr Lambert, when he should have said twenty times.
I noticed something they should have caught: Mr. Verity should have said that they needed to multiply every figure by 30, since every number he gave had to be divided by 10. I know it's a nitpick, and I didn't catch it the first billion times I watched it, but it does seem funny to me now.
wouldnt need a bed to give carol one!
"Jerusalem". In 2011, it was sung at the recessional of Prince William's & Kate's wedding.
"Puts bag over head"
Never realized that they were singing Jerusalem by ELP.
BUT IT'S MY ONLY LINE! Poor Carolee. :P
Because they were standing in the tea chest, duh!
Yeah, I've dealt with sales people like that.
Simply silly.
They said matress 30 times, now EVERYONE HOP LIKE A KANGAROO! Go on now.
I just said that too! Before I'd seen your comment! It must sound very like a teakettle for both of us to think that! Haha!
Eric Idle/Mr. Verity forgot to say that someone said "mattress" to Mr. Lambert 20 times, not twice.
That's Numberwang!
I was just wondering this myself too
We should show this in schools to explain why we need to use math.
The dog kennel scetch.
dont, you know just, dont
Stop making sense! It hurts my brain! >.
aww :3
That is so strange!
Thanks mate! Really appreciate it!
cause it's a response disproving someone else
I took a large swig of water just before the part where he puts the bag over his head. I may be an idiot.
You get it wrong. They have multiplied only the correct number , not what they say to each other.
Is that Carol? I love her...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Pant... Pant... I'm still laughing on the inside. Poor lady. What song were they singing to cure Mr. Lambert of the bag-over-the-head?
when he says you have to multiply everything he says by 3, doesn't he mean you have to multiply by .3 because you have to divide everything he says by 10, but then wouldn't you say that you have to multiply everything he says by 3 and 1/3 because you have to divide everything he says by 3.

me too!
Only 1 dislike. Some faith in humanity has been restored.
He said twice not 2,, so technically what he said was correct because twice can't be multiplied by ten.
LOL.
Why can't American TV Shows be like this?!
this ones funny...
4 people only had 1 line.
Then divide by the 2 in the middle...
Because people question it.
I would hate to buy a bed here
I think you'll find they only said it once.
When i worked in a store and had a code for things:
Like if there was a beautiful woman in the store we sad great spam 9 o'clock.
9 o'clock. was the derecrion she was walking. We played a game then, who could hold the woman bizzy the longest. he won a free lunch that day.
Come to think of it, you can't apply logic to this. So times 30 make as much sense as any. Funny bit.
lmfao
Oh you mean mattress.
LOL
it plays an english "patriotic" song and an image of the vatican blends in. it's the subtile polical provocation what makes monty python being unique
What?! That means the mattress was actually 0.6 foot wide.
Yes, it's meant to be!
ya you are
Haha ^.^
