OMG, I just turn 60 the other day, and suddenly, I'm finding Python-esque comedy on UKposts I'd never _seen_ before!!! It's like Christmas in February!!! 🙂

Wow, a very young Eddie Izzard as a Ballgown-wearing Fairy! Only a few seconds, but I laughed.

"is it AD yet?" perfect Python

Wow, great job! I thought it was a real movie i missed over the last 60 years!

"So-what d'you keep up there: adipose tissue?" Priceless.

Turning that infamous Cleese/Muggeridge interview into that satire is pure genius

"Show me the spoons!"🤣

The Martin Luther sketch was originally part of The Meaning of Life, right after the Prostestant couple bit, but was cut. It's still available on the dvd's bonus.

Not only were they the funniest comedy troupe ever, but they were also the craziest...these guys were nuts. I love them like family.

Nice to see Marty Feldman in the sketches, I had forgotten about him. Under rated, he was on TV a lot back in the 60/70`s.

Nicely done. A hodgepodge mincemeat (lamb) of silliness with a few extra spices and even a never before seen scene. Blessed be the Brian, for he has been a very naughty boy.

Dude, you had me going until i recognized the Life of Brian shepherds. Well done! And thank you! Love it!

The Monty Python troupe and Mel Brooks taught me what "Funny" is. Thanks for the laughs gentlemen.

Yes, I also think we are in a very tight grip of the 21th century. 😊 Thanks for posting.

I've never heard of this. 😱 When I saw what was originally one of the title ideas for Life Of Brian - I thought this was going to be a documentary.

I've actually saw these skits way back in 70s. Didn't think it was an xmas special or such.

Stumbled across this trove of lost treasures, a true Xmas Classic. top man.

Some of this (eg. 49.22) is from a children’s TV show called Do Not Adjust Your Set, which pre-dates Monty Python, starring Denise Coffee, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones.

This is absolutely rib-tickling funny. Brilliantly written. The piece with the 3 wise men, Jesus and Mary was brilliant. I dare say this would not go down to well in the bible-belt of the US 😊😊

Byv21:50 they move next level!, got t love them mps. Thank y v much for uploading this, i think its never been played on greek tv... (so yes there y go, i am fr gr..)

Python's love for vaudeville on full display. Martin Luther is Chico Marx dead-on.

I certainly did not expect the Inquisition. lol

Where has this all been? I watched every BBC Flying Circus(PBS), all the movies and their extras... Such a great find!

Thanks for putting this together

Thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane.

OMG. Thank you, I needed this! Never saw it before and I'm DYING. (In the best possible way) Deep in the roots of my Pagan heart. SO classic.

I enjoyed this compilation. Great work.

Thank you so much it's absolutely genius, I laughed so much!!!

😊Such a talented collection. Their work is timeless. There will ever be another troop like them.

Thanks for putting all of these together 🙏🏻

What a great compilation of MP (and others) Christmas themed skits! There were so many I’d never seen before. I almost sh*t myself when I spotted Eddie Izzard. And was that Dudley Moore? (may he rip) Thanks for this I had a fantastic time watching it!

Martin Luther bears an uncanny resemblance to Keith Moon.

36:31 OMG, The Goodies riffing on Benny Hill... just brilliant

Thanks for sharing this rare gem!

It was certainly a lot of fun to see David Jason as a young man!

The sets are superb.

Eric showing some knickers. "You may wonder what these have to with Christmas. They're Carol's"

Pardon the expression, but Jesus Christ this is funny. Eddie Izzard, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Rowan Atkinson...I'm only a half-hour into this and I've already laughed more than I have in all of 2024 so far...no need to go into that, I guess. Thank you, Sir.

Loved Pete and Dud's shepherd sketch at 24.37 minutes

"Is it AD yet? Quarter-past." Genius!

Height of irreverent British humor. Nothing is sacred, nobody spared, and NOBODY does it better😂😂😂🎉

thank you so much! I am joining the Noise Abatement Society and giving up rock n roll. My kids will have to give up rap

I thoroughly enjoyed most of that.

Fun mix of old and new Python.

I remember John Cleese saying what one of the proposed titles of Life of Brian were. I remember a quite few of these.

Thank you for uploading this Ken! Merry Christmas :)

MP genius, I think the smart guys that loved them in the day are still trying to catch up. MP godbless.

Looks like they drafted in the "Not the 9 O' Clock news" crew for this.

the best and nothing but the best now and forever

pete n' dud were brilliant

Best Benny Hill parody ever.

STUNNING !!! 😃❤👍

January 26th 2024. I love this stuff still. I loved it when I was a kid and I still love it now at 57. It's the most Awesomer Eh 💯☮️🇨🇦❤️🫂

The adventures of Martin Luther sketch use to be a sequence in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life before they ended up cutting it out.

How have I not seen this before?

Wow! I did not expect Rowan Atkinson here! Neither Eddie Izzard. Nice surprise. :) How often did they collaborate with Monty Python?

Pete 'n' Dud, Monty Pee full team, Not the 9 o'Clocks, Tim Brooke Taylor, Eddie Izzard, and I am not yet a third of the way through the chronology hopping, which is seemless or unseamly in equal measure... Many thanks, so far! ❤

Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting a Spanish Inquisition....er. (Twirls viewfinder)

echoing an earlier responder, or rather repeating them, how have I not seen this? where was it, all that time?

I love how Martin Luther has the same voice as 'The Bishop'!

"You call yourself a shepard?!"

Some lifted from Peter Cook dudley Moore and their Jesus sketches. Funny stuff.

"...other slogans from the good book...." 😂😂😂

It's not python it's python mixed with not the nine o'clock news and other old school British comedy nice cut though

Omg this is brilliant! LOL

Dudley proves that less is moore.

Wow! Noooobody expected a new film!!

I believe that in north Wales this was not allowed to be shown.

@9:38 is my favourite part. A direct comeback to the infamous interview after Life of Brian.

great

Mildly interesting fact: The intro/commercial for Glorious (Eddie's best special IMO) is titled Lust for Glorious.

Sorry, can someone give some background on this, and when was it broadcast (was it ever?). Many thanks.

The wise men sequence was taken out of Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Thanx!

I never heard of this one!

Nicely assembled from once-discarded Python and Python adjacent material. Bravo!

25 mins in... not a python in sight.

'The Church of J.C. Capitalist' 🤣🤣🤣

So cool

I was lured here under false pretenses, but to be fair they are also quite hilarious! I shall take my leave shortly as my hovercraft is being overtaken by eels, my parrot has died and the cheese shop seems to be amiss for cheese.

PRICELESS humour 😂

the furniture resurrects itself.😂

Whoever edited this together......

The sausages of haile salami was also quite ok

This is living proof how these men died for us.........frequently.

I'm just here for the spoons 🥄 🤷‍♂️

There's a reason it's lost

Never saw the opening sketch before.

I really enjoyed the first third of the program but understand why the rest was cut from “ Life of Brian”. Good but a bit bitter. More sugar in my coffee please…

58.00 It's worth remembering this was a kids' tv show.

My teeth hurt now…

Python sketch compilations.

I miss Monty Python! anyone "offended" by the Pythons is offenseive to me(and in an appaling way) and an afront to cuture itself! the reason for living I might add. "Meaning of LIfe".

Good Shit!

a young David Jason I see '@ 1:17:23 explaining the game He's created otherwise known as Cricket .... Derek & Clive 'n' all. Brilliant Stuff

I didnt know this existed

👏👏🤣🤣

Please plaster the line about televangelist on all platforms

Sacrilegious satire The devil works in the children Of Disobedience!
