The Fish Slapping Dance is my absolute favourite Python skit ever.
I recommended it back on your Holy Grail vid, so I'm just going to be massively presumptuous and claim credit for you watching it now. It was all me everybody!
But really, Dawn your reaction was everything I'd hoped for. As a sketch it's so quick and so absurd, yet somehow the end seems like the logical conclusion to such a daft beginning.
Monty Python at its finest, distilled into about 15 seconds of wonderful absurdity.
Well then thank you very much for recommending it because I absolutely loved it! 😂
@@DawnMarieX Oh my, pinned! I'm truly honoured.
Now I just need you to react to a Wallace and Gromit (ideally The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit) and I'll have won the internet.
Edit: having been prompted by another comment on this video, I'll have to enthusiastically endorse the Bruces sketch. Can't believe that one slipped my mind.
If you are liking Monty python, you may also like kids in the hall sketches.
My favorite is, I speak no English.
@@markcastellanet9672 I was going to recommend kids in the hall too.
Fish slap dance is classic, thx for reminding me. Sctv is another good series. I grew up on python, kids sctv and carol burnett. Sad to say but nothing modern comes close to these
Part of the brilliance of John Cleese is that he can perform the most outrageously silly antics while maintaining a complete sense of dignity. He is an incredible talent.
For amusement during the pandemic, somebody in the Seattle area put a Silly Walk zone on the sidewalk in front of their house, and people did it, it was great
Here: ua-cam.com/video/T3--3Xxd-m8/v-deo.html
Every town should have one!

Someone in my town did it too. I was driving and I saw a couple sitting in lawn chairs watching people walk. I don't know if anyone film it. I don't see it on UA-cam.
These videos are precious.
@@asterix7842 Thanks - The Kansas video was funny. Good for the soul !
The thing i love about this is how I watched all of these skits 30 years ago and now I'm watching someone else watching them and crying laughing as I did and then you shared it with someone even younger and she was laughing.
Monty Python is timeless.
It truly is. It isabsurdist humor at such a high level, it's unbelievable
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
Over 40years old mid 70s I think.
@@johnsymons8246 never said first run brah
in python's last season, cleese had left the troupe to make "fawlty towers." in that final season, without cleese, they had produced what i think is their funniest episode - "Mr. Neutron." it was one of the few episodes that had a central theme throughout the show. its not a "skit" but a show that lasts 30 minutes. "MR. NEUTRON" IS THE FUNNIEST THING THEY EVER DID! and they did a lot of really funny things on their show.
"the killer joke" is also a great skit. as is their parody of sam peckenpah movies. peckenpah was known for his use of graphic violence in his films. its called "Sam Peckinpah’s Salad Days." and its also GREAT!
Just a few suggestions:
-Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more!
-How not to be seen.
-The society for putting things on top of other things.
Dinsdale!
@@Cosmicblast77 I was just about to suggest that one! Its official title is *The Piranah brothers* there's also *The Bishop* which I always thought was an underrated gem.
@@Cosmicblast77 He knew how to treat a female impersonator.
Nudge nudge wink wink for sure! Cracks me up every time.
@@DarkLordoftheMeme Actually the official title is _Ethel the Frog,_ but nobody calls it that. The album version is even funnier.
Your daughter is absolutely darling, and I think she's on the way to being as charming and lovely as you. I adored watching you react to her laughter, it was soooo sweet!
If you haven't already you have to watch "Upper Class Twit Of The Year".
Haha! Oh yeah, almost forgot about that one.
I totally second this one! What a great twit!!!
Just watch PMQs
I'm on it! Thank you 😁
@@DawnMarieX Since you enjoy John Cleese, a weekend binge of Faulty Towers is a must also.
Fish Slapping Dance trivia: the water level in the canal was far lower, on the day of shooting, than it was when they chose the location.... Michael Palin gamely took that 15 foot plunge anyway.
That was shot before they had their own show and it ended up on the show.
😂 That's amazing
I love how you can see what level the water was suppose to be at.
@@StanSwan MPFC first aired October 5, 1969 and the Fish dance was filmed in 1971 for a special called Euroshow 71 then aired again on MPFC in 1972.
@@DawnMarieX But not true. MPFC first aired October 5, 1969 and the Fish dance was filmed in 1971 for a special called Euroshow 71 then aired again on MPFC in 1972.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Michael Palin!!! He's 78 years old today (May 5, 1943). Yes, it does seem that the best Python sketches are ones with just John Cleese and Michael (i.e. Dead Parrot, Cheese Shop, Fish Slapping Dance, Argument, etc.) for some reason.
I heard this on the radio! Thank you so much for watching 🥰
It's interesting because, generally, Cleese wrote his sketches with Graham Chapman while Palin mostly wrote his with Terry Jones while Eric Idle usually wrote on his own. I suppose there must have been quite a lot of crossover though.
@@DawnMarieX I'd love for you t react to Michael Palin's travel series. Around the world in 80 days is fantastic.
Oh god. Watching your daughter laughing was pure magic. I'm 60 and I'm crying. Thank you, I needed that. ✌❤ 🏴
Thank you so much for these reactions. You've restored my faith in humanity. I've never met girls who thought Monty python were the least bit funny. Every girl we watched these shows with back in the day just sat there with a blank stare. Seeing the pure joy in your eyes brightens the day so much.
No, it is totally normal to laugh as you are, I am laughing with you and I have seen them 100's of times.
If John Cleese and Michael Palin can see this video, they would be so HAPPY to see that their work is being loved by yet another generation of Fans. :D
I agree, though given that people still enjoy 90 year old Marx Brothers films, I think it's safe to say the Pythons know they've reached comedy immortality.
Absolutely love that you're laughing along! Thank you soo much for watching 😁
@@DawnMarieX Generation X stands with you.
@@DawnMarieX of course we laugh along with you. The sketches are just blooy good.
The guys in line in the back of the silly walk is a reference to another great skit involving government paperwork
There was a series some time ago where each Python was asked what their favourite sketches were. They all had different opinions, except one thing. *Everybody* had the fish slapping dance on the list. 🐟🤣
Can’t imagine why 😂😂😂
You are such a wonderful and thoughtful mother. That laugh is exactly what Carmen needed to start feeling better.
Michael Palin always said the Fish Slapping Dance was his way to test someone's sense of humor. Clearly, you have a great one😁😍
Yay! 😂
He went to film in North Korea recently and showed it to his guide there. She couldn't help but laugh at it.
Watching you react to (and laugh at) my favorite Monty Python moments just makes my day! Some more great Monty Python skits include "The Cheese Shop", "Fish License" and the "Killer Joke". I mean, all the skits are great but these are some more classic ones. Keep up the great work!
Aww love it! Thank you so much for watching
Don't forget "The Parrot"
Fun fact Michael Palin and John Cleese always used to try and make each other laugh deliberately while they were filming these sketches. This one is my favorites.hope your daughter feels better soon.
It's so much fun to see someone howling at the real old stuff. Because, many, many years ago I laughed my ass off at this stuff. And YES, Cleese and Palin were always my favorites. Hands down. For decades now.
"Argument Clinic" is both funny and very clever in its wordplay. One of my favourite Python sketches.
No it isn't
@@eatenbybats Yes it is! 😁
@@crazydavec3861 you just contradicted me!
@@MacTechG4 I'm contradicting you on my own time
A group of us boys got detention when we left school assembly doing the silly walk a day or so after we saw the show on telly. Now, about 50 years later I'd probably put my hip out!
Monty Python is was and always will be the most revolutionary comedy group ever. By the way your laugh is brilliant, such a treat. Great stuff.
Sorry to disagree but The Goons were far more revolutionary especially if you consider they were created in the mid-1950s,
I brought my kids up on a healthy dose of Monty Python and now as adults I'm proud of their crazy sense of humour. Family dinners are insane and I love it!
Hope your family dinners don’t end up like the Mr. Creosote sketch
Beware of anything wafer thin
The fish-slapping dance is just a masterpiece of sublime silliness, by the comedy gods themselves, Monty Python. I'm still in stitches every time I see it. Comedy genius! :D
That's awesome Mum and daughter laughing together at silly walk.
In these miserable days - it is wonderful to see such joy in a person! Keep laughing Dawn!!
Aww thank you! And thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@DawnMarieX -You should watch the "Spam Sketch" ,if you haven't already...
Once again, I agree wholeheartedly with you in that John and Michael are my two favorite also. Their chemistry is undeniable. These men could make you laugh until you cried.!!!!!
I'm so glad your daughter liked the silly walks sketch. I was about her age the first time I saw it, 1970 something. The next day at school everyone was walking around like that.
The fish slapping dance has to be one of the funniest things ever put on tv and it’s just so simple
O Monty Python é demais....o humor inglês é o melhor....eles influenciaram o humor no mundo todo, aqui no Brasil a influência deles é enorme até hoje....
Seeing you and your daughter laughing together was a delight.😂
Been laughing to python since the late 60s. They have there own entry in the Oxford English Dictionary, "Pythonesque "
Most of their output is absolutely timeless.
God bless them!! They've kept me laughing 😅since I discovered their genius in high school
and the computer program python was named after them.
Someone else commented this in another video so I checked and right enough! Amazing
The Piranha Brothers is my favorite Monty Python sketch!!!! PLEASE REACT TO THAT!!!!
Also, Confuse-A-Cat is diabolically silly!!!!
Also, also...
Mr. Hilter is great!!!!!
Also, also, and.....also again....
I love your reaction vids and I dig how you're introducing your daughter to this brilliant library of amazing sketch comedy group!!!!
Cheers, from Virginia (the states)!!!!
Thank you! I'll check them out 😁 and thank you so much for watching!
Twit Olympics used to have me rolling on the floor.
This is far too cute. A beautiful lady laughing at the funniest stuff in the world :D
Cleese and Palin are an underrated comedy team. They did a lot of their sketches together. They even take whimsical shots at each other during interviews. They're so funny together. The first time I watched the Fish Slapping Dance with my wife, she laughed so hard I thought she was going to pass out!
The Cheese Shop sketch is a must!! Great Cleese-Palin skit
Sadly the silly walk clip you saw stopped before the secretary came in with some tea.
I’ll have to find the full clip 😁
@@DawnMarieX yes! You will die laughing!
Yes, Mrs. Two Lumps. Tea everywhere.
I could watch the fish slapping dance a thousand times and I would still laugh every time.
We all crack up throughout these skits, no matter how many times we’ve seen them. It was refreshing that you invited your daughter to watch a couple of them at the end, and equally refreshing that you previewed them first so she didn’t see some of the (now) offensive stuff.
John Cleese and Michael Palin were both in A Fish Called Wanda. Very funny, worth watching.
So cool to see another generation of Python fans.
Just makes me happy to watch someone laugh till they cry like I did when I first watched it over thirty years ago.
The fish slapping dance is John cleese's favourite sketch. 🤣😂
Can’t imagine why 😂😂😂
You have to be one of the best mums in the world, brilliant.
Every time I pass Teddington Lock always think of this sketch
Firstly, I started watching these guys in the mid 70s. Absolutely loved it then. Still do. Secondly, bravo to the young lady for doing a silly walk as she left the room. Monty Python would be proud!
The ministry of silly walks and the Spanish Inquisition are probably the funniest skits they ever did
Marriage counselor is historical. 💏 I mean to say hysterical.
Yeah, there were some of these FC skits where we would rewind & watch over & over, laughing till we cried.
Love it! 😂
Out of all the skits that he did, the fish slapping dance is Michael Palin's favorite skit that he did.
There's not many reactions I'll watch again and again, but honestly Dawn, you nail it.
I'm 62 and have been in many relationships, but I've never been with a woman who "got" Monty Python. So I love your reactions. It's a wonderful thing to see.
I used to watch the Benny Hill show when I was a kid also. I wonder if she'd like that?
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob Tough to find a modern woman who hasn't been brain-washed into being offended by Benny Hill.
Aww thank you so much for watching! 🥰
@@DavidSmith-pg1ob say no more, lets find out 😂
@@DawnMarieX Ok, here's a fairly typical Benny Hill collection of skits: ua-cam.com/video/ZkgB1PyUiIQ/v-deo.html
Cleese (who was already a TV star by the time the group came together - the BBC almost perceived it as John Cleese & Friends) was partially motivated to form the troupe after seeing Palin in the children's afternoon comedy sketch show 'Do Not Adjust Your Set'. Since he was mining a similar brand of absurdity in 'At Last, The 1948 Show' it was a no-brainer. Although they hardly ever wrote together on the show, their on-screen pairing is undoubtedly the best.
Silly walks is probably the very best MP bit ever. But the fishslapping dance is up there too. I also like Mr Hilter very much...
"You wouldn't have had much fun in Stalingrad"..."I don't know about these 'boncentration bamps'"...LOL!
Thank you, I'll check it out 😁
Dawn, I watch this 3 years on and it still makes me giggle
If you haven't seen it, you should do a reaction to A Fish Called Wanda
I too was going to recommend it, as it has your two favorite Pythons (John Cleese and Michael Palin) in it + some American talent, as well.
That's a movie, btw.
Thank you it's on top of my list 😁
The Fish Slapping Dance perfectly encapsulates the comedic relationship between John Cleese and Michael Palin.
I think she'd really like the History of the Joke sketch from the Hollywood Bowl show.
Albatross!?
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!
The fish slapping dance is the single greatest piece of comedy ever
You should definitely try to have your daughter react more at least to the Monty Python stuff. It's good to get new generations involved with the classics, and she seems to enjoy it.
Agreed! Seeing both their goofy grins was great. She definitely has to vet them first though, their skits weren't always what would be considered G today :p
I agree but I have to check them first I don't want her seeing any silly willies 😂
@@tzuyd goofy grins 😂😂😂
@@DawnMarieX Things like dead parrot/lumberjack song and such. About 99% of Monty Python is perfectly safe for her... Just Life of Brian is a no no at this age because of the nudity.
@@menotu000 I'd say Mr Creosote from Meaning Of Life probably isn't for kids either..
My favorite part was watching Carmen grin and then laughing. YES these men will make you laugh until you cry.
"Last year, the government spent less on the Ministry of Silly Walks than it did on national defence."
It's outrageous.
My recommended Monty Python sketches that always makes me cry with laughter:
Anne Elk's Theory on Brontosauruses
Flying Lessons
The Death of Mary Queen of Scots/Exploding Penguin
But nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
@@Cosmicblast77 You should wait for you cue. 😅
😂 Thank you, I'll check them out!
@@monsterlair Cardinal Fang, get the comfy chair.
It's so cool to see Monty Python still killing it, decades later, with both kids and adults.
Yes, the argument clinic was one of their best sketches. I like it so much that I used to recite it to friends. I even mimic their accent. I used to record it and play it back in school during home room.
I would tell my kids I'd do those walks if they didn't behave when we were out
There happen to be a number of places around the world where "Silly Walks" are actually encouraged..!
Like in a village in Berkshire in May 2020;
a town in Sweden or somewhere similar;
even down in Tasmania (in Aus)...
That’s amazing! 😂
So glad you watched and enjoyed those as they are favorites of mine. Thanks, too, for the bonus reaction.
I'm thinking it's time for another movie. So here are a couple of my favorite comedies:
My Cousin Vinny
The Breakfast Club
Thanks for the genuinely enjoyable reactions. I had fun, too.
Thank yous so much for watching! I’ll add them to the list 😁
I've seen the 'Spam' sketch at least 100 times, and it still makes me laugh.
In the Fish Slapping Dance, I just love the way John Cleese lines up Michael Palin with a 2ft long Salmon, and wallops him into the canal with it :D
Also, second the guy who recommended "How not to be seen"... That one has to be one of my favourite Python sketches
I love when you just pause everything so you can cackle for a few minutes
On one of the John Cleese sitcom episodes of Fawlty Towers, he suddenly starts doing the silly walk and the audience goes nuts. Hysterical.
Was just thinking hadnt seen faulty mentioned yet. When the moose head takes him out and he serves the germans
The series was just repeated on BBC1.....but The Germans was edited
That is one way to tell you how funny it was/is. Laugh until you cry.
Its no coincidence that nearly all the most iconic Python sketches are John Cleese and Michael Palin. They perform so well together. The Fish Slapping Dance, I don't know why but the colonial era uniforms just make it perfect. Comedy gold! Another great couple of sketches with them are Hungarian Phrasebook and Bee License
I love how the camera immediately flips from one to the other as they're arguing.
I've loved MONTY PYTHON forever!!! John Cleese and Michael Palin (along with Eric Idle) are my favorites. The two were hilarious in A FISH CALLED WONDA... should watch if you haven't.
Was having a bad day, found your channel, heard your laugh and now I can’t stop smiling and laughing along with you. Awesome that you get Monty Python.
Palin's hat amazingly stays on the platform.
Yes Dawn the fish slapping dance is John and Michael again...... Two of my favorites also....!!!!! I only wish we had video of Carmen;s silly walk.... Thank you....
I love Monty Python . Try watching the dead parrot sketch and the Live at the Hollywood Bowl show . Thanks for posting this . It made my day .
Ahhh damn. The end of the argument clinic sketch with the policemen is what makes it even better.
Laughing is good medicine. I hope this skit helped Carmen to feel better. Laugh until you cry is proper reaction to these guys.
I first started watching Monty Python back in the very early 70s, when I was in high school, and the type of absurdist humor was just absolutely perfect for me. I don't laugh hard at the bits anymore, because I know them so well, but I still appreciate them. I'm so glad that you're enjoying them now, and that you're letting your daughter experience them as well.
Keep up the good work!
That's almost exactly what I said!
Dawn,
These ALL are great & funny..... Frickin funny! YES girl in the fish slapping dance it was John and Michael again.... Carmen will enjoy this one also.... Yea it is normal....
Dawn your laughter gets me laughing .Thank you 😂❤❤❤
Need to start watching full episodes. They all have interconnectivity between skits that build up jokes and plot across the entire episode.
Like at the beginning of Silly Walks you see a very very long line of men all dressed in the same pants, coat, and hat. That's from another skit in the episode.
Or the episode the Atilla the Hun Show. The first skit is the actual The Atilla the Hun Show, but you have to watch the full episode to get the full Atilla experience.
They also play with the structure of TV shows that you don't get to experience watching just a skit here and a skit there.
You’re right! I need to try get my hands on some dvds 😁 thank you so much for watching
I saw all these sketches when Monty Python was first broadcast back then, and they were as hysterically funny then as they still are now. I hadn't seen the Argument Clinic for at least 40 years and I've just fallen about laughing all over again.Absolutely wonderful stuff. Thanks so much for doing this for all of us to enjoy again.
Fish Slapping Dance is on of John Cleese’s favourites. He loved working with Michael Palin and chose him as his ‘luxury item’ on Desert Island Discs.
It is normal to be crying laughing, I was doing it with you, Monty Python is just so funny that it's Impossible not to be crying with laughter whilst watching it, another great reaction, and I just have to say that your laughter😂😂😂😂😂 is infectious, love it
What I love about reaction stuff is that it reminds me of how funny I found stuff first time round . Good job .
I love watching you react to Monty Python. You have the same kind of goofy sense of humour that I have.
YOU are a great mom. Any parent that introduces their kids to Monty Python gets my vote!
It doesn't matter how many times you see it or what time period, Monty Python is always funny.I started watching them in the 70's and I still laugh at it. You need to watch only funny videos because you have the most beautiful laugh, I could listen to it all day, or at least just to hear you talk.😊. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️.
Possibly the most natural outburst of fabulous and spontaneous laughter I've ever witnessed. You clearly have the right 'funny bones' for the great Monty Python. Whenever I see Michael Palin fall in the canal I always worry he gets injured....so I'm worrying while laughing. Doh !
Your daughter is adorable! I believe that letters to John Cleese and Michael Palin would make them both smile and she (maybe) will receive letters in return!
My dear I have been watching these guys for a long, long time. Silly is what they are about. You two take care and keep laughing. Funny walks will help Carmen get better faster. That is a medical fact.
Fish Slapping Dance is the best!
Loved it! 😁
Your laughter is so adorable.
Every time I need a good laugh I watch the fish slapping dance, even though it only goes for about 30 seconds or so it still makes me pee my pants
Sir Michael Palin as now know has done some fantastic travel documentary"s....this is silly British humour at it's best...
Dawn,
That is one way you know it is funny, when you laugh until you cry. I used to do it ALL the time with the Three Stooges.
Good job Mom. You getting Carmen to watch these and laugh is good medicine for her. That combined with lots of fluids and plenty of rest will have her right as rain!!!!!!!!!!!... great job lady..... Silly is funny!
I watched the episode with the fish-slapping dance when it was originally broadcast, as a teenager in the living room with my mum and dad.
Of course I fell about laughing, and while I was laughing I could see my parents looking at me with dead eyes, faces unmoved. Which made me laugh more.
Family bonding over Monty Python....Probably the greatest video ever
