it truly is!! I don't see how he does it so easily

he did it in full at the 'Live at the Hollywood Bowl' while wandering around the audience, pure genius

@@peachsncream5808 what makes you think australian politicians are special?

He's always been my favorite 😂

Apparently if they wanted a character to give a long involved speech they gave it to him cos he was the best at remembering lines, so to challenge him they'd naturally make the speeches longer and longer, this was one of them teasing him essentially.

Tirade

Did he? Ahaha. I wish that was on film.

@@robbie_ it probably is, look on youtube, most of their live performances were captured on film.

@@robbie_ I'm pretty sure the whole Hollywood Bowl show is on YT.

What a silly bunt

Live At The Hollywood Bowl

Sounds shit

and of epic's Eric performance as well.

It’s all well to watch a performance by Eric.

@@richardkammerer2814 Which belongs to Eric -- which is to say, is his!

NAIL EM UP OI SAY! NAIL SOME SENSE INTO EM!!

'angin around in bazaars?

You wegard his expwessions to be wisible??

I have that version on the vinyl LP. Maybe it was not shown on TV.

I know! what a bunch of bunts...

And yet "bunt" is nothing but a U.S. baseball term. Of course it was meant as something else.

@@brianarbenz1329 bunt isn't exactly an American only word. There are Bunt Cakes, also it is a general term for pushing or hitting. IE two rams bunted their heads together.

@@davidconnellan6875 I understand the cakes to be spelled "bundt." But your point still is taken. UKposts's censorship policies are pure bull _brap,_ as Mr. Smoke Too Much might say.

Typical Brits .

It is still ahead of our time!

Really? ! Ahem. I saw every one of them coming and going. Crap. They were funny at the time. Unfortunately, no longer.

@@erepsekahs😳

Can I politely point out that there is a woman in these sketches😊

They won't, which is just the sort of blinkered, philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from their non-creative garbage. They sit there on their loathsome, spotty behinds squeezing blackheads caring a tinkers cuss about the struggling artist. *THOSE EXCREMENT! THOSE LOUSY, HYPOCRITICAL WHINING TOADIES! WITH THEIR LOUSY COLORED TV SETS AND THEIR TONY JACKLIN GOLF CLUBS! AND THEIR BLEEDING MASONIC HANDSHAKES! THEY WOULDN'T DO MONTY PYTHON, WOULD THEY? THOSE BLACKBALLING BASTARDS! WELL I WOULDN'T WANT TO WATCH THEM DO MONTY PYTHON NOW IF THEY WENT DOWN ON THEIR LOUSY, STINKING, PURULENT KNEES AND BEGGED ME!*

@@darksim1930 Nobody cares

Not really all that familiar with Monty Python, are you?

​​​@@redfallxenos4585Misanthrope. (Just my theory, which is mine.)

Ever since the 70s when asked for ID I always give my shoe size. JUST IN CASE, someone catches on! No one has ever caught on! ♥

The only way this sketch could be improved is by having Eric/Michael continue their lines so as they are heard during the interview with Graham/John!

Sierra-Whiskey-Alpha-18 Eric Idle IS the complaints guy in the Argument Clinic! ;)

Hilary Moon No he isn't.

Ant Powell I went back and watched the argument clinic sketch, he most certainly is! :)

Hilary Moon Sorry is the fifteen minute argument or the full half hour?

Well played, sir.

frank tomasic gmilf for sure

I probably would've just gone upstairs then.

You got that right. She was stunning

Why the sketch didn't end right there and then, I have no idea.

Of all the girls I ever saw on the screen she is always and ever will have something special that gets me everytime. Just lovely. Bless your soul.

🎵Torremolinos🎵...

I went on holiday to Ibiza in September 2001, and it was much the same as described here. The main difference was seeing 9/11 unfold on tv.

Aye, unfinished Benidorm with iffy lifts, via Alicante when was but an airport.

No, I came here for an endless monologue.

No you didn't.

Yes he did.

Nope.

He most certainly did.

I like the word “unbeknownst” >_>

@@margaritam.9118 I like it too, it's got a sort of woody quality about it. UUUNNNBEEKNOOOOWNNNSSSST...

+therussmeister When Carol Cleveland asks if you want to go upstairs, the answer is not "what?".

For sure!

There's nothing but the skeletons of milkmen up there!

I thought the very same thing. LOL

@@pryingeyes1551 Haha Thats right. I almost forgot. 😉😂

I love Eric's cross-eyed bobblehead expressions

No politics plz 😮

Could have been worse. It could have been a Diaper Donnie verbal diarrhea. The Mango Moron eats a dozen cans of alphabet soup and just lets the word salad spew out.

Apologies to brontosauri everywhere

+Kate McTiernan There was a running in-joke with Monty Python, where they deliberately tried to make their coactors laugh and break character, by acting as silly as possible. Chapman is really struggling to not break into laughter or smile. You can see it clearly in the closeup at 7:03.

Bisqwit well, how can a comedic troll can stand to not trolling eachother? in a great comedic troll ways. you should see the exploding penguins one

+Bisqwit: The Tim Conway School of Comedic Acting, apparently.

The part where Bleese keeps boughing, Bhapman looked like was either going to laugh or punbh Bleese. There was a running in-joke with Monty Python, where they deliberately tried to make their boactors laugh and break bharacter, by abting as silly as possible. Bhapman is really struggling to not break into laughter or smile. You ban see it blearly in the bloseup at 7:03. well, how ban a bomedic troll ban stand to not trolling eabhother? in a great bomedic troll ways. you should see the exploding penguins one The Tim Bonway Sbhool of Bomedic Abting, apparently.

Stop talking..........🎉😂😅😅😅😅😅😢

Yes. We always imitated python, back in the day...

It's a coincidence, since Fawlty Towers wouldn't have been created for 3 more years!

Makhia Foster what's even weirder is that Cleese didn't write that. It was Eric

Barney Os. Only problem is that faulty towers came afterwards

Yes, it was full of milkmen, some of whom were very old.

So you gallantly chickened out and bravely ran away away?

I had the BIGGEST crush on her when I was a kid.

You lucky lucky bastard.

Did you meet both of her?

Autocue.

Yeah, missed opportunity; It went downhill from there. Or not.

They probably only did that at the Hollywood Bowl.

You may be right. Myabe that joke was too blue for the BBC. I actually heard it on a Monty Python album I had when I was a kid. Not as familiar with the Hollywood Bowl performance

1:42

demonhoopa It was originally included in this episode but the Beeb cut it out and scrapped the unedited recording, which is why you only hear it on the album and Hollywood Bowl performance. This also explains why the audience laughs so much at 1:53-2:00.

Yes, if you listen closely you can even hear the splice at 1:53 where the laughter suddenly gets loud. But are we sure it was the BBC and not American TV that made the edit?

Michael Lawrence Same here in NZ. Even an airline pilot made an emergency landing on a flight from Heathrow to New Zealand because he thought the engines were seizing up. Turns out it was all the noise of the whinging Pom's in the back

+Michael Lawrence We English are terrible tourists. As the exception, I accept that my fellow countrymen are largely useless. Not as bad as the Germans or the Yanks, but close.

What a delicious irony this is. Whinging is whinging even if it's whinging about whinging. Just to be perfectly clear, no I'm not whinging about you whinging about our whinging, I am just making a point, okay?....lol

+Foxtrot Oscar As a Yank, I have apparently been going about my overseas travel all wrong. I've always considered myself to be respectful to my hosts wherever I may be - never putting myself in a position that I might make a drunken scene, not even talking loudly when sober, and always picking up after myself. If things are done differently than in the country where I am from, I play along in my host country without gripes. Still, I hate to be a thorn in the side to stereotypes, so I'm confused about what I should do. I am flying into London-Gatwick one month from today; do I continue to be a respectful tourist, or am I supposed to act like my stereotype? If it's the latter, I apologize in advance for what I'm about to do.

Rex Rowland There are always exceptions, I was generalising. The stereotype does have solid grounding in this case this though. Many Britons are awful tourists, and many Americans are worse. I always welcome a good tourist though, and as subverting negative stereotypes is one of my favourite things to do, I welcome anyone who does likewise. Good luck with your trip, I hope you have a nice time, and that this stupid winter storm has buggered off by the time you arrive. I'm sorry my sense of humour doesn't translate well in to text.

Qu'est cu se mah Victor?

And still replacing c's with b's. Ie. Bontinental. Extraordinary.

And the writers who wrote to the writers have been sacked

Even the BBC admitted recently they would never have sanctioned Python today because it was two 'white middle class' or similar. What a load of brap.

@@leonalm7510 And then the people responsible for sacking the writers will be sacked.

And having sacked the last writers the ones that hired them were also sacked.

Dear Babette be carefull - you will end like man in milksmen sketch

cheese and onion chips are fucking good man. Canada has Cool Ranch chips which we don't get here in Aus.

They're the best crisp flavour in the world as long as you don't count salt and vinegar.

LoL these dips are obsessing over chip flavors while ignoring the delicious idea of upstairs quality time with Carol Cleveland. Priorities jacked!

She might just lock you in a room with a bunch of other customers and milkmen.

Of course, and this is just my theory, what I meant to say was when it was broadcast. And I might have seen the chaps do it at The Drury Lane Theatre in 1975.

well, at least the theory is hers and hers alone!!

Ahem. Eh-HEM. *Eh-HEEEEK!*

underrated? its just cleese coughing alot

I think the amount of coughing was uneccessary. The least funny part of the sketch.

Yes, disappointing. It's the buntless version and that's no fun.

Oh, don't be a buntless bunt.

They don't make women like they used to!

the bookshop is great too "Olsen's book of British birds - the expurgated version"

I love how he keeps the 'b' thing going in the rant too

lmaoo i know, i feel like its kind of unusual but im 16 atm and i am absolutely obsessed with him... its sad that no one my age relates loll!!
