"dimensions of dialogue". amazing. right on topic. devouring the influences, and regurgitating them in out own style.seeing just one still frame of the deconstructed heads of of food, and the other of various metal and paper objects is enough for me to say "oops,i guess you wuz right, boss". and again, thanks.
thanks. "breakfasts" is brilliant, considering the constraints svankmajer's must have had to deal with; money, technical, and censorship; and, as you said, he created the "genre". it must have been astonishing to Gilliam in the context of that time. but i do think gilliam was able to expand the visual potential, especially in the longer artsy pieces he did on Python, like the detectives chasing criminals through the Escher-like insides of a person. gilliam has a painterly, natural talent.

John Cleese battering the living daylights out of the schoolgirl had me in stitches. Many British boxing promoters have presented mismatches even worse than that. Sorry about the lack of Gilliam cartoons. Isn't Carol Cleveland sexy in boxing gear. She could beat me up any time.
Yeah you may have a point there, after watching them a bit more I agree they are unique, but I still don't think people should be tossing off at ESMR, he's the one who's done all the work here.
@Schmoek though svankmajer may have originated the cut and paste stop motion techniques, gilliam saw it and used (improved upon) it, in the end gilliam's are much more interesting, and entertaining! dancing teeth is brilliant, sheer genius.and funny! frame for frame, second for second, there's more&better visual content, perhaps without the deeper political or philosophical meanings. forced to by time and context constraints(comedy show!) clearly,here, the "student" surpasses the master
In terms of czech surrealism and animation I would suggest to take a look at jan svankmajer, who was a heavy influence to Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton and others.
I don't know what the big deal about the animations is, perhaps back then they were a novelty but the acting is the only timeless bit about these excellent shows.
Omg🤣🤣😆😂🤣 54 years ago, Python was accurately predicting the future! I was absolutely rolling watching Cleese beat up a little girl!!

that could be the most hilarious part of the whole series for me.
i LOVE michael palin!

A 26 minute show? How frustrating! I still can't get over your contempt for Gilliam's animations.
Along with that "gestate the fetus" moment in "The Life of Brian" this was more prophetic than they realised.
John Cleese battering the living daylights out of the schoolgirl had me in stitches. Many British boxing promoters have presented mismatches even worse than that.

@normanby100 Monty Python is without doubt among the finest comedians ever. And Carol Cleveland always looks delicious in any and every outfit
This episode is one of my favorite.
HAHA i laughed like hell at that boxing match :D

Ahh monty python rocks lol
Awww.. Poor John Cleese.

John Cleese is very intimidating as Ken.
Yeah, now we have to use the PC term "athlete" :)
sometimes I think that jim carrey copied his acting in everything from cleese...
who knows
@EdTheGringo -She was strongly favoured after her bout with Tyson.
Cleese era un ego muy grande
Waw, a preview of the 2024 Olympic boxing games.
why did they have to make the last part with john cleese so sad?
its not like it was really his last episode lol!

3:15 John Cleese wife at the time. Future co star of Fawlty Towers ❤
Ken Clean-Air-System FTW
one of the school girls in seven brides is eric idles exwife.

@greg5566 Well, Mr. Show was kind of like them... But it tried too hard and failed at having the same appeal.
Awesomely politically incorrect with the lady punching.
