Swift Games This is like my 4th video on the duo, it's 4am, just starting this and I don't think I'll sleep tonight.

Swift Games i like the way they healthily disrespect certain protocols.. like receiving applause at the beginning and then walking off the stage 😮

OMG ... I just did that very thing!

Me

I'm certainly one.

"THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT! IF ONLY PEOPLE WOULD-"

Maru Please, please, good people. I'm in haste! Who lives in that castle?

@@Leon_der_Luftige No-one lives there. We don't have a lord.

@@Leon_der_Luftige mol

but his laughter was based on his own feeling about Eric but not about what Eric actually said. the unsaid is British humour

But what about Dinsdale?

We also lost Neil Innes as well :,(

Out of respect for Terry I will forget Dinsdale for now

'no its not'..........

Well, I'm an optimist so I see it as a One-Third-Full Monty...

no you're not and no you don't............

Eric Idle is amazingly funny at 71 (in 2014), but John Cleese is the one you would want on your debating team. They're both great (and Michael Palin too). Will they be fondly remembered when we, the baby boomers, have all shuffled on? I'd like to think so...

They are, and were, all very intelligent and quick. My favourite Python thing comes from Chapman when they visited Germany for the first time and tried to get into a concentration camp. Hilarious.

Where the fuck is Dinsdale?

@@stevebrindle1724 yyyyyyyyyyu YT YT yyy YTgu

Great story. Thanks for sharing it.

Was Dinsdale in the passenger seat?

This sounds like his role in National Lampoon's European Vacation.

😆 Brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

Was she a member of hell's grannies?

He's worth listening to on the Podcast series The Infinite Monkey Cage.

I think cleese smokes or used to smoke

Cleese is still 10x smarter and sharper than you have ever been, or ever will be. Ding.

​@@foobarmaximus3506You're quite...silly. 10 times sillier than the Pythons ever were or shall be, in fact.

​@@angeladawn805❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I knew they were going to do that too, somehow.

Usually the bow and exit is a high note. Guess they wanted to nail that one first in case they bombed later? Or in case the audience left? Because HAH beat them to it!

That was Dinsdale laughing

No they should zombify Graham and restart the Monty Pythons. Imagine all the cannibalism sketches a zombie Graham would be part of...

ScottishChristian That'd be difficult since Chapman was Cremated. If he hadn't been then maybe, but even so they'd have to stop him from trying to eat everyone as Zombie's tend to do if the Walking Dead is anything to go by lol :-D.

soeffingwhat I had completely forgotten about the cremation. Eh. I'm sure they would find a way regardless.

Yeah. Just some old guys talking about memories. Old people have such a nice way of telling story's, and them being funny and friends really is a cherry on top.

roger supernova What in the world does their age have to do with it? They were friends, they were funny and they were great story tellers when they were young, for goodness sake.

... and they wouldnt be allowed to "start" today with their kind of humor, because we have political "correctness" now.

Why do you say that? A lot of modern comedians celebrate bad taste and those brutal roasts are some of the biggest comedy events of the year.

we have people who are too stupid to understand the clever jokes these guys did as well now

"erudite"...much like the Piranha brothers; Doug and Dinsdale.

Wane

Olle Rönn One of the few people to be able to make the phonebook funny I'm sure :)

Olle Rönn Agreed-wish I had a tenth of his charisma!

+GBatT If I ever get a phonebook, he'd be the first one I call to help me read it!

You should watch his stand up if you haven't; "The Alimony Tour".. He's mostly telling stories about himself. Its one of my favorite stand ups because he's so naturally funny. He isn't TRYING HARD like most "modern" comedians

Except for Dinsdale!

No they didnt.

@@aon10003 I disagree.

It depends what you mean by "modern". No one invented it really.​

@@aon10003 yes, they did.

@@rudolftrost3534 Is this a five minutes argument or a full half hour?

My first Monty Pythons Flying Circus. Late 70s i think?!%&@# crs A Fish called Wanda. Picked it out of thousands! The others were all too flat.

+hannahthecritter You are totally correct.

+hannahthecritter All depends on what someone who is talking about something more serious/sobering is talking about, but yeah, this kind of conversation is therapeudic, informative and fun. :)

I love biographies and learning about people, basically these kind of things are all I watch on You Tube.

alexziggyful any suggestions? Did you watch something as good as this? Hope you see the message, because it is one year old xD

You must be deep AF!

jsilence418 took the words right out of my mouth

Right, no more Dinsdale reply's for today, I am of in search of the real Dinsdale!

In a way, you just did.

How about at the O2 Arena just having lunch and you can't hear what they are saying?

Lars Nilsson Great profile pic. I always liken Che to Hitler. In fact Che has some very extreme hateful evil psychotic quotes which as a person makes him worse than Hitler (a subjective view of course). I would imagine some "peaceful" communists punching you for waring a Hitler shirt, Nazi shirt, or something similar, yet those same assholes praise Che, Stalin, the Soviet Union especially, and Mao!?!? Like wtf? Nazis were bad but look at the SU, what they did to the Ukraine etc. Nazi flags = Soviet Union flags, Che shirts = Hitler shirts.

I love it when people like you get their idiocies out early. Makes it so much easier to tell that one should ignore every moronic syllable. Nice, efficient. Thank you.

That's impressive. Not as impressively stupid as cripple-boy, but still impressive.

Tell me, did you WORK on that particular bucket of garbage, or did you have help?

Cute. But see, cutting down a person, particularly a leader, into one dimension, particularly such a one-dimensional claim as "mass murderer", in order to 'win' shows merely that you're a sad little child with absolutely no concept of the real world. Poor little you. Do you deny that Batista was a mass-murdering dictator with the benevolent support of the US, to adress Ché? Or Chiang Kai-Shek, Marcos Pérez Jiménez, Tito, Ferdinand Marcos to mention but a handful of OTHER US-supported dictators, or for that matter....Stalin? Oooops. Didn't think of that, did you?

Absolutely hilarious, I managed to follow at x1.25 speed. Bit shorter and no problem to follow. 😊🤣👌

I love the ease of these two men, and the history behind them. This is funny, and real, and brilliant.

It seemed like 10 minutes.

It could have been better if Dinsdale was involved!

Dinsdale was the real genius!

The audience laughs at everything that's said, despite them all not being jokes.

must have felt real awkward after

@@thirdgen377 That's what comedians call a good audience.

I think it's a combination of "It's hard to take ANYTHING a good comedian says seriously." and "The laughter could have been a nervous tick to distance themselves from the possibility that IT IS true." John himself once quoted a philosopher (can't remember his name, sorry) when he said "Laughter is the social sanction against rigid behavior."

@@DavidTSmith-jn5bs Exactly. People will sometimes laugh when nervous or unsure how to react.

+Splotch the Cat-Thing I have to admit I underrate him. I think sharing the screen with John Cleese and to a slightly lesser extent Michael Pailin caused me to overlook him. That's a tough crowd to stand out in. After listening to this, it's obvious he has an easy quick wit and natural gift for comedy. He even seems more able to ad lib funny lines here than Cleese.

Eric was the only one that wrote alone, John wrote with Graham Chapman.

Hard to pick a favourite Python, but to me Idle comes across as the one who enjoyed it the most. He seems like a person who is always in the mood for thinking up or doing something silly. And he has written some brilliant stuff, not least when it comes to songs. He's a genius.

its michael palin for me.......the biggus dickus sketch, big nose and the scene in the prison were pure class

Kev Shearer I'd have to go with Palin too

That's funny, I thought it was a horror movie.

Picked it out of Thousands! The others were all too flat.

@@christinagurchinoff1517 “An halibut!”

Is Dinsdale in the Audience?

​@@stevebrindle1724dinsdale..

Did you look for it too? Nowhere to be found, alas :(

Here's the summary : 🥕☢🚀

Nonchalant much?...:)...That's an experience of a lifetime! You're a lucky person!

One thing they both had, in spades, was the deadpan stare; other comedic masters like Jack Benny, Oliver Hardy, Buster Keaton, et al, also had that ineffable ability

What memory sketch?

So sorry for the loss of your beloved brother. It appears that he had a great sense of humor. I lost my dear wife in 2020. I'm still mourning also. I don't know what to tell you. I don't think this pain goes away, ever. But I do know that laughter is the best medicine. "He's not the Messiah! He's a very naughty boy!" My favorite line.

Farty Towels was one of the 'anagrams' on the signpost to the hotel right at the beginning of each episode. So obviously John already knew about it, in fact he was the instigator. There was a new anagram for every episode.

Are you Dinsdale?

Same. That was absolutely hysterical! :D

Thanks. It is one of our favorite videos.

Obviously, you have never listened to Dinsdale's work!

@@LiveTalksLA They should do another one!

Yes and in fact if you noticed in many interviews when he imitates other peoples voices he nails it all the time. He's a natural at it.

'Why doesn't somebody boil up a whole bunch of water' ha! ha! classic!

They know each other's mannerisms so well, inside out - how Gilliam just starts saying things and lets the sentence assemble itself, just perfectly

I just love every time Eric says years like "YUUUHhhhhs"

@Feiner Fug I did something similar years ago. There was one part I practiced over and over again and I could never get past it without tearing up. I decided that would just have to be part of my delivery ...

fnutboy a bizarre and hilarious comment possibly inspired by auto-correct. Although maybe his haircut has misled you. 😂😂😂

@@jeffreymartin3361 😅🤣😂🙂🙃😉

Yes. I have the same experience working as a reference and youth services librarian.

Funny how you can see that evolve into the Cheese Shop sketch, which is my favourite.

"I apologize unreservedly. ... I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future." Indeed.

A wise man told me that another wise man told him don't focus on people dying someday be happy that they are around now.

@@Malkav1805 death starts to loom large when you get old It occupies more of your thoughts.

At least we should still have Dinsdale!

​@@Malkav1805 they both sound pretty wise, as do you. A friend of mine said something similar about another entertainment giant who had passed - we should be glad to have been alive at the same time to enjoy them.

So did I! Even when Cleese is just telling a story, his comedic pacing is still absolutely perfect!

Graham really lived to fuck with people.

Dinsdale's idea I believe!

Lol Gold x.

You're lucky you had a TV then. And you're lucky you can read and write.

True that

Dinsdale would agree

:)

What about Dinsdale?

Me too. Cant forget about The Goodies though

@@Mr.Wrong1 or Spike Milligan, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore

M. S. Good big frog and a damn fine peach

Benny Hill! lolol I was thinking about that cross dresser too!😅🤣😂 Hahahahahaha

@@TheMarkyMarx Dudley Moore! I need to find some of these. Very Cool list going here.

I love it too. I could have a spear through my face and his laugh would still make me smile.

It's doctor hawking

@@Archontasil He's clueless.

TIMING, of course. TIMING!

hahaha!

A nod's as good as a wink.

It’s a threesome, Micheal Palin just happened not to be there

Yes, threesome would be even better! Whoever said the English are prudes?

Benny Hill was traditional humour.... very funny though. Monty Python humour was revolutionary. 🇬🇧

me too. except 57

I wrote that long before I realized they actually got white wine on set. Poor John had a really problematic throat that day.

@@RR-uj2vx Well it's apparently on every home for our elderly which will be shameful for the entire future but our normal lives hasn't been affected much really. Corona is by nature shit, of course.

We are at the tale end (supposedly) of covid now. March 2021. Yet 5 thousand dying per day, still! I needed this break, too, though.

Greetings! I love Dunedin!

Cleese got laid in New Zealand, at least we're good for something!
