Monty Python

WildBill · Oct 9, 2008

When I got home from the hospital, my wife presented me with the complete DVD set of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Have I got the best wife there is, or what?

Anywho, I've been watching Python for several weeks straight- along with their movies. Now before y'all start quoting your pseudo-science about Python-induced neurosis and/or tumors (I've had enough of tumors lately) I have a question for ya: Of all of their collective works, what is your favorite Python moment/sketch?

My favorite Python Movie moment is the scene with the Black Knight in The Holy Grail

I have many, many Python faves from the tv show...
The Dead Parrot Sketch
Lumberjack Song
Pompous Ass Olympics (I think that's what it's called)
Ministry of Silly Walks

Just to name a few... I could go on...

The Tudor Job Agency. And the "Knights of the Round Table" song from the Holy Grail.

And yes, you have one heck of a cool wife.

With the Olympic one, are you refrering to the Upper Class Twit of the Year?

And all of the ones you mentioned are the bomb!

Tudor Job agency... Are you sure you like it, or just the dirty books?

Oooh, so many to pick from...

Can I say every bit in "The Meaning of Life"? No? I have to chose just ONE?

Gotta be one of the songs...and, while I love "Not Noel Coward", I think I must go with...

"Every Sperm is Sacred".

Truly, the best song about fornication EVER written and performed!

That might be it - it's all these boobs in bowler hats, competing to see who can be the biggest pompous ass - I can picture it in my mind, but I don't really know what it's called.

I also love the sketch where the guy ends up in the office of abuse and insults... wish I knew the title of that one as well....

I also love The Knights of the Round Table - "I have to push the pram a lot!" (and the old guy hanging on the wall, clapping his hands... :roll:

)

That's called "The Argument sketch".

True classic.

Don't forget this song...

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy begger
Who could think you under the table,
David Hume, could out consume
Schopenhauer and Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
who was just as schloshed as schlegel.
There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya
'bout the raising of the wrist...
Socrates himself was permanently pissed...
John Stuart Mill of his own free will
a half a pint of shanty was particularly ill,
Plato they say, could stick it away
half a pint of whiskey every day,
Aristotle Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
and Rene Descartes was a drunken fart
"I drink, therefor I am."
Yes Socrates himself is particularly missed,
a lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

Yes, it's the other way around. He asked for an argument, and went to the argument room (12). When he got there, he got abuse- and was then directed to room 12A for his argument.

John Cleese at his finest.

A Møøse once bit my sister ...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: "The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Mølars of Horst
Nordfink".

We apologise for the fault in the
subtitles. Those responsible have been
sacked.

Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti...

We apologise again for the fault in the subtitles. Those
responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked
have been sacked.
