Oh, VEDDY Nice

[filkertom]

I was alerted by a number of sources that the members of Monty Python have started their own YouTube channel.

Pick a skit. Any of their skits. Any scene. Tell us your favorite lines. Do it one at a time, because we haven't got all frickin' weekend for this. Well, okay, yes we do. Fine, fine, as many as you want, but remember others want to play.

"Listen, Alice --"
"Herbert!"
"-- Herbert."

May we delve into the movies too?

"Just one more thin mint!"

I'd say movies is ok. Tom posted from the Grail :D

I was going for the "Mr. Creosote" segment from MEANING OF LIFE but I might have slightly misquoted there.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I believe it's, "Would Monsieur care for an after-dinner mint? It's wafer-thin!"

[annearchy.livejournal.com]

ahaha you're right. "Just one?!" But as we know, Mr. Creosote didn't have any room for even a wafer-thin after-dinner mint :)

You're being particularly unfair. How am I ever going to choose?
Well, how about one that I actually occasionally use.

My favorite Monty Python Skit isn't really a Monty Python Skit. The Bookshop was first performed on "At Last the 1948 Show" by John Cleese and Marty Feldman. Eventually it worked its way into the Python (Monty) repetoire when it was performed at "Live at the Hollywood Bowl." Prior to that, it clearly gave birth to the Cheese Shop Sketch.

No, "Rarnaby Budge" by Charles Dickens - that's Dikkens with two k's, the well-known Dutch author.

C: The *expurgated* version of Olsen's "Standard Book Of British Birds"?
F: Yes. It's the one without the gannet.
C: The one without the gannet? They've all got the gannet - it's a standard British bird, the gannet - it's in all the books.
F: Well I don't like them, they wet their nests.

Monty Python Has the Fluxx

[shsilver.livejournal.com]

When I returned from Windycon, my copy of Monty Python Fluxx from the good folks at Looney Labs was waiting for me. A little too heavy on the Holy Grail references, but when I played it with my wife and daughter, I was the only one who got to take advantage of the "Nudge, Nudge, Say No More" card since they didn't know what it refered to.

Re: Monty Python Has the Fluxx

[skunktaur.livejournal.com]

Into photography then eh?

"NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise, surprise and fear,fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise, and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. Our *four*.no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise....I'll come back."

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Haha, the scene in my icon's already been quoted. But I would have gone with this one anyway:

"'End'! Call the next deaf end..."
"ANT!"

[admnaismith.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. We 'ad t' get up at ten o clock at night, 'alf an 'our befo' we went t' bed, eat a lump o' dry poison, work 29 'ours a day down at t' mill, an' pay mill owner for t' privilege o' comin' to work, an' when we got 'ome, our father would kill us, an' dance about on our graves singin' 'Alleluya!

But if'n ye tell that to the young people o' t'day, they'll never b'leive ye. Nope, nope, nope.

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

That one actually originated on "At Last the 1948 Show", which is now available on DVD!

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

[blienky27.livejournal.com]

Right, right, this is all a bit silly.

A few weeks ago at work, I hit my head pretty badly (nothing serious, it may have helped actually) and I was sent home early. The whole time, I was thinking of that sketch and laughing like a maniac.

Too many choices, but I'm going to go with....

"Ah, I hadn't correctly divined your attitude towards the tenants. You see, I mainly design slaughterhouses. Pity. Mind you, this is a real beaut. I mean, none of your blood caked on the walls and flesh flying out of the windows inconveniencing the passerby with THIS one. I mean, my LIFE has been building up to this."

"Yes, and well done, but we wanted an apartment block."

"Well, may I ask you to reconsider? You wouldn't regret this, think of the tourist trade."

"Rewease Bwian!"

o/~He had white gloves on
His brother wore them too
A touch on his nostril
Marseillaise played for you

Oh, what a silly song it was

He stood in his helmet
And boots on the trace
A man took a herring
Slapped him in the face

Oh, what a silly song it was

(One verse and chorus of "ahs," or perhaps "oohs" in surprise and alarm)

He went to the pet shop
Bought a parrot in a cage
But when it fell over
He flew into a rage

Oh, what a silly song it was

A Mongol on the steppeland
His bow hung by his side
When all of a sudden
He fell down and he died

Oh, what a silly song it was

(Spoken) Stop that! Stop that at once! It's too silly!
