I can't believe I have never seen this sketch before. I thought I'd seen every one at least 4 times! I love the bit where John Cleese almost bursts out laughing. It's hilarious - thanks for putting it up on UA-cam.
Like the bloody general election, every 4 years ffs. We should just give up with all votes because someone said 200 years ago, this vote is final. He was known as a cock. The referendum was a one off, the people’s vote is a different vote with different choices. If you can’t work that one out then you are just like the bloke 200 years ago.
I've got most of the harmonica song worked out but the part after he shifts down towards the 3rd whole I can't seem to figure out and it drives me nuts.
Norrin Radd since the Phyton boys actually can think they wouldn't be that hard on him. Just set yer hatred aside. Not only does it hurt you it hurt's the world around you too.
Funny thing is, that John Cleese who so joyfully mocked the generation who saw every family mourning the death of loved ones. Is now old himself and feels shame but understands much more.

So much better to be stuffy and dire about everything. Comedy, and laughing at things should be totally banned, twice.
Sentinal, we mock you for being a hardcore leftist dolt who doesn't understand humor, because you clearly didn't see the humorous point being made. Instead you concocted something that is so wrong, so stupid, so morose and so self-righteous all in one sentence that it is a true work of fart. Only leftists who spend their lives twisting peoples words so they can accuse everyone who is successful of heinous capitalistic barbarism could come up with such crap. Why don't you get a degree in physics and apply for work at NASA?
@@357MagnumBob Man youre stupid for taking that opportunity to take a swipe at the left. As a lefty i just laugh, with the humor of the pythons and your stupidity.
I can see it when people say this is upper middle class / upper class English humour . Nobody outside the catchment area finds this funny for the most part, can honestly say I never have cracked a smile at these skits , still nostalgia is the reason Phyphon keeps going .
Atlanntis Just the silly abusrd stereotypes and over the top humour .It's very " ha ha jolly good " . It's very quaint and is based on and international stereotype of Brits . It may even be a Southern English thing to be honest . I am from the northern part of the country and it mostly is viewed as being not very funny at all.
I still haven't understood how any of that is enjoyable mostly by the upper classes. Stereotypes and over the top humour are upper class things since? I am under the impression that you simply like sorting things by class/finding patterns even tho there isn't one.
Atlanntis generally speaking I think you will find even the Phyphon's see it as an upper class thing as well seeing as most of them are upper class and could only really relate to that genre of humour . Over the top humour can be funny but this was to over the top because that is the general view of the upper classes and they took the piss out of it . Most people just find it irratating. Plus once you have seen one Phyphon sketch you have seen it all . Bit of a one trick pony are the Phyphon's.
Wow, you really are British. Regardless, I still believe your pattern is baseless, I think it's much more likely you've just encountered a couple of Upper Class Bongs who like MP and, mistakenly, assumed that was a general trend. I do agree that MP is mostly irritating and repetitive tho, but I'm afraid most comedy in the English world follows that pattern for some reason, maybe it's just the language barrier which stops me from really apreciating the comedy. Cheers, mate
Love this sketch so much. Hilarious and you can clearly see John Cleese is trying his hardest not to burst out laughing 😂❤

"Knickers 1914"
I SANG AS THEY SAWED IT OFF
They are very good scissors!
THAT DOESN'T CUT IT!!!
4:56 John trying so hard not to lose it.
so cute
"You've lost both your arms as well" was an ad-lib by Graham, if I remember right.
That's why I love Monty Python. You can see that the humour is genuine and that even the actors are laughing
AT US
This is how I'm observing Armistice Day 2018.
But he has no arms !
@@malahammer Just a flesh-wound.
Thank goodness, you got it right. Those two sketches are not separate; they have to go together.
+Bronco Nagurski I know, right? Glad you enjoyed the definitive cut :)
"A Horse. A horse. My kingdom for a horse"
0:01 - 0:24
This should be the opening crawl for the next Star Wars movie.
"They're very good scissors" lol
3:27 That *was best of three. You already lost twice.
6:30 There's Television Centre. Hey, wait a minute... I thought...😁
So brilliant ... after all these years, funnier and depressingly more relevant than ever.
Heh. I set up John's line @5:30 as my Windows XP "error" message back in the day.
"Best of 3?" He'd already lost 2.
The most amazing part of the sketch was seeing how empty the roads were back in those days!!! Anyone got a time machine?
Pretty sure they closed that lane for the shot pal 😆
a parking validation! a parking validation! My kingdom for a parking validation!
Everyone likes Monty Python, but tin hat in 1914....well.....
tomau0506 yes...the Brodie helmet since 1915
es un gran momento de la Python.Es estupendo verlo a Graham en pleno dominio de todo.Hasta Cleese se tienta...😆😂😃
I have a cunning plan.
I think of this sketch whenever I play Battlefield 1 and I'm the Brits!
"Knickers"
What did we say, the longest straw ,wasn’t it :)
No, we’ll draw for it. That’s the way we do things in the army.
Monty Python's short straw Brexit
best of three just like the referendum
@frenchie jones 'definitely' you French imbecile.
frenchie jones we voted for brexit and we won get over it it's happening

@@mickd6942 You won 😂 How much is it costing you? 😂
They should've changed the caption to "Wipers". That's how some of the soldiers pronounced it.
two bee or one a bee
I need to do something about my attention, I never noticed the "extras" in the first scene.
That's what happens in war , disguise is everything
que lindo e hiperactivo Richardo III Hubiera sido Mike😜😘😲
I've got most of the harmonica song worked out but the part after he shifts down towards the 3rd whole I can't seem to figure out and it drives me nuts.
Some humour doesn't travel.....I don't think steel helmets were available in 1914!
Simon Taylor later in the war i believe not available in 1914 like you say
@@mickd6942 Steel helmet first fielded by Germany Feb. 1916..
I don't think "Ypres" is spelled "Knickers" either
when comedy was real comedy!not anymore.Sad really.
Thank you for uploading this, but please add the OVERACTING in the searchable word options, to help find this easier. Thank you... :-)
0:15 lol
See Blackadder Goes Forth for WW1 Rowan Atkinson humour. Recommended.youtube
It’s a pity that they are not around any more, because they would have a field day with tRump💨 .....
Um, they're still around.

Just set yer hatred aside.
Not only does it hurt you it hurt's the world around you too.
@@jeff7775 Wrong. Palin, Idle and Gilliam are also slamming him.
@@WillScarlet16 Yes, understood. I said 'John Cleese alone' as in singling out one of them and his specific words.
@@jeff7775 just goes to prove that old age and wisdom aren't the same thing.
did they just predict furries?
