Most people seemed unable to seriously imagine same sex relationships after WW2. The Queen was a just a young girl thought incapable of ruling the British empire,demasculating millions
I'd say this is one of my favourite sketches ever. Every character is hilarious and the way Michael Palin is constalty smiling makes me laugh so much!!!
Monty Python will always be the most influencing comedy group in all time. Not only because they are amazing actors and comedians. But because no main TV now a days allows for such a creativity.
My English teacher showed us this sketch when I was 13, 14 years ago. Although I didn't speak English very well at the time, it was very funny to me and I thank her for making me discovering these amazing comedians. Merci Mme Bertrand
" Well , there's barely room to fling a cat ! " Took me many viewings to catch that one on " Holy Grail " , but it still makes me drop down and laugh !
Ah man...one of my favorite sketches. "No...I fling her!" They were just too hiliarious. There will never EVER be another comedy troupe as funny as them.
Nowadays many of us live in dwellings built using Keith Maniac's hypnosis technique. We no longer suffer from the mobile brick disease, Location, location, location.
LOL! 2:30 to 2:56. I don't know why John Cleese giving a cat influenza manages to have me roflmao, but maybe it's the genuine effort he seems to put forth doing it. His face gets pretty red in the process :)
Python! Y'can't beat 'em! Absolutely timeless in it's pure absurdity.Their material still seems ludicrous today.Imagine how utterly ground-breaking it must have been when it was first broadcast.I have this image of stuffy W.I. women & irate retired Colonels exploding in outrage!😃
Little-known fact : People don't realise that not only was Python ground-breaking, it was exactly that to such an extent that it wasn't even popular at all when it was first aired, and also caused real controversy - hence there being so few TV series made. It was decades ahead of its time - if, that is, society will ever *_genuinely_* catch up...?!
The first time I saw Mr. Stools get spontaneously combusted I laughed and laughed till tears poured out of my eyes and I missed the next 2 min of the sketch....just that scream "eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!" Brilliant how they catch you off guard like that! ROFLMAO
Small bet on "Yes" - lots of people. Another small bet on the Post Office delivering said letters to the BBC, too. After all, Britain is famous for doing stuff like that... which is why we find Python so funny in the first place, really... :)
Michael Palin has one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen! I want to give him a hug if I ever meet him. Eric Idle looks like a bird here as well. At least he does before he becomes invisible.
Dear Sir, I strongly object to the comment section on this UA-cam programme. They are clearly not written by the general public and are merely included for a cheap laugh. Yours sincerely etc, William Knickers
At nearly 7 minutes, this has to be one of the longest MPFC sketches. I'm omitting things like the History of Ballooning as that is a series of sketches.
I think the length works here, since it's not really one single cohesive sketch, but rather a whole bunch of little mini-sketches they lump together in a common grouping.
"What does your wife think of it?" "I AGREE WITH HIM!" "SHUTUP!" Mrs Tittles flies across the studio and lands in a bucket of water. heheheh hilariously silly
Palin plays such a good panel host, love that constant gum chewing haha
Palin is THE best host in all the sketches! My favorite Python!
Legend has it that Mr. Walters is still in that studio, droning onnnn and onnnn and onnnn, with no one even casting a glaaaance in his direction...
The true brilliance is Mr. Walters. By being so uninteresting, he is invisible which got him on a show about interesting people.
He is so uninteresting that it's interesting.
The real wonder is that he's married.
G. Rossini that part makes me laugh so hard.
Hes so uninteresting that he actually turns invisible
this is a fact 🤣
"No, I fling her". Cracks me up always. Graham, you were insidiously hysterical and brilliant.
I find it weirdly adorable how worried Cleese is for Mr Stools lol
WELL OF COURSE I'M WORRIED IT'S JUST BASIC HUMAN DECENCY AINIT?!?!
@@JohnnyReb1976 No matter hooow looong I wait in liiine, no one in the ressstraunt will acknooowledge my presssence...
I like to imagine that they would be the best of friends
Most people seemed unable to seriously imagine same sex relationships after WW2. The Queen was a just a young girl thought incapable of ruling the British empire,demasculating millions
Because Mr Stools shouted when set on fire.
I'd say this is one of my favourite sketches ever. Every character is hilarious and the way Michael Palin is constalty smiling makes me laugh so much!!!
For some reason, it's Michael Palins' cheery "You can't get much more interesting than that. Or can you?" that makes me laugh the most.
This sketch pretty much depicts how talkshows used to be 25 years ago, but Monty Python anticipated all of it 50 years ago. Pure genius, isn´t it!
"Mister Stools!!!!!!!"
... *_SPEAK TO ME, HOWARD!_*
Monty Python will always be the most influencing comedy group in all time.
Not only because they are amazing actors and comedians.
But because no main TV now a days allows for such a creativity.
it's hard for me to believe that this is over 50 years old and it's still hilarious
Still waiting for the day "All-In Cricket" becomes an Olympic sport.
i also love when Michael Palin does an American accent. Its spot on...
My English teacher showed us this sketch when I was 13, 14 years ago. Although I didn't speak English very well at the time, it was very funny to me and I thank her for making me discovering these amazing comedians. Merci Mme Bertrand
"You injured Mr. Stools!!!" HaHa!!
"oh ah, well i´m afraid that it´s already asleep""It´s not moving", Mr. Keith Maniac is genius!
He was indeed accurate, the brick was NOT moving, and clearly fast asleep!
This is 😂😂😂 of there best skits. Especially John Cleese's characters.
Terry Jones playing Johnny Depp playing a hack character in a Tim Burton film.
Just a bit of Junkie I knew he reminded me of someone lol
I LIKE THAT GUY WHO'S INTERESTED IN SHOUTING! HE'S THE MOST INTERESTING CHARACTER ON THE SHOW BY FAR! HIM AND HIS WIFE!
I see what you did with the caps there
I AGREE WITH HIM!!!
if i had a nickel for every skit where Idle rambles on while Palin tries to get a word in.
" Well , there's barely room to fling a cat ! " Took me many viewings to catch that one on " Holy Grail " , but it still makes me drop down and laugh !
Ah man...one of my favorite sketches. "No...I fling her!" They were just too hiliarious. There will never EVER be another comedy troupe as funny as them.
"It's all down with the eyes" (????)
*points at his ear*
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE this sketch!! Not only is Michael exceedingly adorable while chewing....whatever he's chewing...it's hysterical!!
YOU'VE INJURED MR. STOOLS....MR. STOOLS SPEAK TO ME!!
haha one of my favourite sketches of all time. I love the typically pythonesqe abrupt ending and general randomness.
Michael Palin was the ultimate game show host.
John Cleese dominates every scene he's in!
I disagree, they were all equally brilliant here.
It’s also relatively easy when you’re shouting.
In a lot of cases because he is the tallest and loudest, thus most memorable.
Nowadays many of us live in dwellings built using Keith Maniac's hypnosis technique. We no longer suffer from the mobile brick disease, Location, location, location.
the man that puts bricks to sleep is the best one
I love Monty Python, them and their brick hypnotizing ways.
LOL! 2:30 to 2:56. I don't know why John Cleese giving a cat influenza manages to have me roflmao, but maybe it's the genuine effort he seems to put forth doing it. His face gets pretty red in the process :)
Oh Christ that's hilarious
one of my all time Monty Python skits!! (Hilarious)
Python! Y'can't beat 'em! Absolutely timeless in it's pure absurdity.Their material still seems ludicrous today.Imagine how utterly ground-breaking it must have been when it was first broadcast.I have this image of stuffy W.I. women & irate retired Colonels exploding in outrage!😃

6:03 Michael Palin's reaction to Mr Stools injury cracks me every time :)
Hysterically funny. Love the cricket 'boxing match''. Brilliant Michael Palin host. 😅
Palin's so good in roles like this, such as 'Blackmail' he's so cute lol
I love the animation that was shown before the sketch was shown.
apart from being a full time stapling machine, he can also give a cat ifluenza
No one plays the part of a show host as well as Michael Palin in a Monty Python sketch. And John Cleese shouting 🤣
I love this sketch
That studio had enough room to swing a cat.
OH, I'M MORE INTERESTING THAN A WET PUSSYCAT!
Hour after hour after hour...
4:26 I always thought, Cricket should be played like that😂
- I AGREE WITH HIM!
- *_SHUT UP!_*
'Mister Keith Maniac'
"Apart from being a part time stapling machine, he can give a cat influenza!"
YES! I'M INTERESTED IN SHOUTING, ALRIGHT!!
yeah he often did the chewing thing when he was playing a cheesy compère role. with that horrendous canned applause too. its brilliant.
The first time I saw Mr. Stools get spontaneously combusted I laughed and laughed till tears poured out of my eyes and I missed the next 2 min of the sketch....just that scream "eeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!" Brilliant how they catch you off guard like that!
ROFLMAO
Yes, I do indeed wish for my very own applause lever for when I say interesting things!
[applause]
Haha. Monty Python must have a deep-rooted hatred of cats.
Conquistador Instant Coffee offered a free dead dog for every jar sold.
I would counter that with the Confuse-A-Cat sketch, which is very affectionate toward cats.
John Cleese giving a cat Influenza 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
why does mr keith remind me of a tim burton character?
Just a foretaste of what TV would become in the 1990's and beyond!
You can't get something more interesting then that. Or can you? ;)
has someone tried sending a letter to that adress?
I was going to, but I had a hard time writing my name and address on my telephone number
Small bet on "Yes" - lots of people. Another small bet on the Post Office delivering said letters to the BBC, too.
After all, Britain is famous for doing stuff like that... which is why we find Python so funny in the first place, really... :)
MIS
TER
STOOOOOOOOOLEEESS
SPEAK
TO
MEE
Palin's jolliness kept me laughing through the whole thing.
Its not Monty Python unless John Cleese shouts "shut up"!
Terry Jones is really pulling off that 19th century attire.
full version:) thanks very much
by herself? no, I fling her. 5:20 John Cleese - laugh! yeah!
one of my favorite sketches...
YOU INJURED MR STOOLS!
haha my two fish are called Mr Stools and Spiny Norman (from Dinsdale episode) =)
I love hoe Terry Jones points to his ears when mentioning his eyes.
SPEEK TO ME! HOWARD!!!!
that's my favourite sketch! MR stools!!! speak to me!!! no i fling her hahahahahaha. the best ever
"*You* need to take all the opportunities you can get, dear!"
OH! SNAP! as the kids say.
Michael Palin has one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen! I want to give him a hug if I ever meet him. Eric Idle looks like a bird here as well. At least he does before he becomes invisible.
I would like to say we are not all maniac however I would like to send some bricks to sleep. Brilliant sketch, I like it very much
"What does your wife think?"
"I AGREE WITH HIM!!"
"SHUT UP!!"
By the way, the wife is definitely Graham.
lol best sketch ive seen in a while!
HE KILLED HIM!
REVENGE!
Mungo! Never kill a customer.
Ah! The war wound!

2:15 "Write your name and address on your telephone number" lol
I have got to get that gum Michael Palin is chewing. He looks so happy with it.
Mr. STOOLS! SPEAK TO ME!
ha ha you got it! They slipped that one past a lot of people! I think it's the entire raison d'etre for the sketch!
Nobody can yell "SHUT UP!" quite like John Cleese
Yes, and nobody can screech "I agree with him!" quite like Graham Chapman. He always did the best pepperpot screech.
and now aaall of you people heeere are ignoooring me toooo....
I don't know if my name and address would be readable if I wrote it on my telephone number.
"MR.StOOLES! SPEAK TO ME HOWARD!"
"Poor Mr. Stools..."
didn't know they had a british jimmy fallon
Yes indeed, in this sketch...mwah! that man is gorgeous!!!!!
5:38 Mr T Walters had finally made himself disappear.. 5:53, Oh! It's Tim Burton!
I wanna live inside a tiny matchbox
No you don’t.
Someone will think you're a match.
Lol the ladies dissing each other each time taking a blow

Hannah Miyamoto
The Deja vu sketch is really long 😊
The Funniest Joke in the World sketch is 10 minutes long.
The science fiction sketch was 23 minutes
The Michael Ellis sketch more or less occupied a whole show from memory.
Stark. Raving. Mad.
thank you! keep uploading!
y que linda criatura that boy😉😜✌❤❤❤❤❤
semprini?
Peter Benvenuto Stiegmaier OUT!
GET OUT
I am convinced that Mr. Keith Maniac (the hypnotist) is played by Marc Bolan, unless anybody has convincing evidence to the contrary.
That's not Marc Bolan, that's the lead singer of T. Rex, Terry Jones.
@@dars5229 I know, of course, but he does look a lot like Bolan.
All-in cricket looks fun!
Remember when Graham Chapman was playing a surgeon and he cut open the patient and exclaimed, "What a great slit!" hahaha
"What does your wife think of it?"
"I AGREE WITH HIM!"
"SHUTUP!"
Mrs Tittles flies across the studio and lands in a bucket of water.
heheheh hilariously silly
So? This pretty much describes all television today.
I take that back. It was *still* more intelligent than today's reality shows.
Sarah palin does not deserve the same last name as Michael palin
I thought of this today, so I had to watch it to get a laugh. MR. STOOLS! SPEAK TO ME!
I think Noel Fielding got his dress sense from Keith Maniac.
I am more interesting: my cat flings me into a bucket of cold water while nobody's paying attention to me, preferring instead to put bricks to sleep.
aww, he is the cutest thing ever :)
