I grew up in Oz with all these shows, even as a little kid I thought it was hit and miss, somethings were not funny just stupid. However by the time they start making movies they were brilliant or I was just old enough to get the humor. This was comedy golden years. Now, no one has a sense of humor.
I have the DVD of this, as well as Not The 1948 Show, Do Not Adjust Your Set and collectors editions of Meaning Of Life and The HoilY Grail. Holy Grail has a small cutting of filmstrip in it. Also have other Python Film s & series like Palkins Ripping Yarns. I'm from England originally, but was a stand up comic in Christchurch New Zealand in the late 80's and spent some time with Billy Connolly in October 1987
im still trying to work out whether those two gentlemen in the thicket actually had that mans leg..... maybe a tiger did amputate it and run off with it
@@DogOfKrondor yes indeed, although isn't there audio of most of/all of the episodes? That was pretty short-sighted of the BBC just for the fact alone that John Lennon popped up on the show a few times
The think that caught me off guard. Is in the scene she trips and breaks glass. There's a woman in a portrait above the old man and the woman in the portrait is moving around. No one brings this up
I think it's just a little background detail, some of the only surreal imagery from an otherwise very deliberately flat presentation. Maybe it's a satellite hookup of one of the girls sleeping in a room overnight? I don't know that there's much to expound upon.
I re watched the monty python series, its ok i guess, it didnt have me splitting my sides with laughter, I chuckled occasionally..more through nostalgia than anything else.
@@RamblesBrambles fair enough, it's from 50 years ago now. For me though, it's my favorite show and an "a-ha" moment when first seeing it listening to the records.
This is a pretentious and irritating video. The voiceover is so American it can not be listened to. It is what makes a difference between fact and knowledge. Yes the facts are there but the knowledge is missing. Cringe worthy dialog but little else...
@@thanksfernuthin man, someone had to say it. I'd bust these videos out more often if i could but this took WORK. Thanks, thanksfernuthin, for going against your brand for this comment!
From one Pythonite to another - some invaluable resources can be found at this site which I've been visiting and coming back to since the early 2000s. Def take a look around at everything: sotcaa.org/history/ukonline/python_frame.html?/history/ukonline/python/python_broadcasts.html
17:25 I'd describe The Goodies to a newbie as a mix of Python, Benny Hill and The Monkees. You've got the surreal humour of Python, the visual humour of Hill (both the Goodies and Hill shared the same influences from the silent film days), and the music of Bill Oddie regularly in the background, much like the music in The Monkees.
That's pretty accurate. I would say it's closest to the Monkeys, and even the sped-up film of running around seems closer to that than Benny Hill cuz there's no "scenes of naked ladies with floppy breasts" as Eric idle would say. I've seen a few episodes and was surprised by how much I liked it, given my predisposition of thinking it would be lame based on their song in the Amnesty International concert. Seems like it's sort of hard to find, at least in the States.
I'm not following this comment completely. The 3-sided record is Matching tie and Handkerchief of course. the uniqueness? I know it begins both sides of the Holy Grail album. The last comment though I'm completely lost. They all were what?
@@BrianKishreviewsare you sure it's not because of a particular podcast putting him on blast for several episodes? 😙👌💨 "I think the British are coming duuude"
@@bonezeno8770 omg! That's so nice of you Bonezeno, thank you for commenting, it's positive affirmations like your's that make this so fun. And that's for subscribing, mr noise rocker!
Forget the origins, which every true Python fan long knows. Just consider Sketch History, the heavily Python-influenced, genius, German sketch comedy series, which the non-German speaking public does not know at all. I have other examples from Czech and French comedians, etc, but if it ain't in English, it might as well never have existed.
@@BrianKishreviews Not sure what "subgenre" means, but, no. I am referring to the beloved Sketch History series on German television. If this sounds totally unknown, just Google Max Giermann's Kinski. And there are others. The English were not the only ones with an absurd sense of humor, believe it or not. And I'm a fookin' American--how do you lot not know about this stuff?!
@@haeuptlingaberja4927 I'm not claiming that all modern comedy is derrived from Python or this special, just that this special is often overlooked and an interesting step in the progression of the more modern style of provocational comedy. Are there any of those German shows or comedians that spring to mind that I should know about?
@@BrianKishreviews Yeah, so: Sketch History, which I mentioned, and Jan Boehmermann's ZDF Magazin Royal, and Ladykracher with the wonderful Anke Engelke should be enough to get you started...
19:16 see, this is why i knew i had to watch whole thing. Thanks for this vid! Love your style, analysis, opinions, timbre and over-all demeanor; very straight forward. Havent gone back to watch Python since.. middle school? so this is def an inspiration for such
@@EshenBaumthat's so kind of you! And yeah middle school is exactly when Python rocked my world, I let multiple people borrow my dvds back then. There actually might be more nods to the albums than the show in this vid, particularly with the music. If this inspires you to revisit Python, then I did a good job. Thanks so much for staying for the whole video and the sub!
What if John Cleese dressed up as this guy named William Afton who took a Freddy Fazbear and he took a kid and he murdered him 😡😡😡 and then he put the kid in the Fready Fazbear and then the soul the soul of the kid he took over the freddy fazebear and now the bodies and the suits and the murders on the loose and the kid the soul of the kid too over the Freddy Fazbear and he becomes the fready Fazbear but he looks like fready Fazbear but he really a kid and then William Afton whispers “It’s one of those costumes things”😀the end
Man I just found your channel today,why you have few subscribers you are probably on the oldest channel to review movies on RU-vid you would have millions today yeah you deserve new subscribers great stuff ❤
wow that's very kind of you. yeah...i'm not super consistent with it and not good at promoting, but the fact that you were able to find it and enjoy it is very cool
@@BrianKishreviews The sub meaning is freedom. I watched this movie a lot of Times since 30 years. It follows 2 good for nothing teenagers (Even tho in the movie the actors were older) lost in a society who despice them. Its a road trip movie with amazing scene in with each sequence is à sketch by itself. The 2 actors are amazing and so naturals in they friendship (brotherhood) relations. There is so much to say about it (my english is not very good unfortunately) please watch it again in a good mood, i am sure you will feel it too. It is a célébration of youth and freedom.
@@shinra05 awesome. I've always liked JGL and this was probably at the height of my Zooey thirst-watching. Great little film I wouldn't mind revisiting one day. Just curious...any movies you think I should cover going forward?
@@BrianKishreviews I'd love if you could cover "9souls", it's my favourite movie. Also "Save The Green Planet", is good too, otherwise i'll have to check out more of your videos for recommendations myself as i'm fairly new into watching movies. Both those are asian films, i enjoy asian films especially psychological ones.
@@BrianKishreviews I don't know if my comment went through since i can't see it but i recommend 9souls & Save The Green Planet, i enjoy asian psychology movies
I looked back at the articles I read and now can't confirm which book I thought it was based on. It appears you are right. Thanks for the correction, I must've been on acid when I wrote/recorded/edited/posted this..
That's cool! Lots of underground rappers sampled Firesign. If you're totally new to Firesign, and if you have the patience, check out either of the albums How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All or Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers. If nothing else, their album titles are amazing.
It's nice to know I came out of seeing the film and ended up on the same page as someone else. Incidentally,, the German Officer in all the scenes with Michael Crawford plays Irwin Rrommel in "Patton" (1970), one of the best war movies of all time.
This is a dumb thing to point out probably, but the only way one saw movies during most of Jack Smith’s life was during a screening, and that meant most people saw a movie maybe once, and more or less as part of a group. I feel like maybe Jack’s movies were made for two things, they were made to be made, and they were made to be watched maybe once, by a handful of people that was made up of a community very much involved with the film-as-community-event and of people who considered themselves very alien to it, like the congressional hearings you mentioned, and then the film just goes on to live largely (and distorted by qualia etc.) in the memories, stories, and creations of those people. I know you pretty much know all that. And i do not think it somehow invalidates doing a review from the present context. Watching it now on the mediums we have now and with our bonkers archival access to shit is what it is. I just felt like putting it out on the table i guess? Adding comment to feel the sacred algorithm? I like that you even did this review and i’m def going to have to dig in to what else you’ve been posting.
Not dumb at all, Goblin Wizard, and totally relevant to this particular video. That's true of many things of that era, let alone prosecuted stuff meant to provoke, hence my "trust me bro" comment on how people's memory is sometimes better than the real thing. But I can't attest to whether or not watching this as a group of other artists is more exciting than focusing on it by yourself in your bedroom. I try to take that into account when "reviewing" a film of that type. I wouldn't put this at the same standard as a more lineral movie but even so, if I review something unfavorably, there's still something interesting or noteworthy about it. I appreciate you mentioning that, thanks for the subscribe, and if there's a director or movie you think I should cover, lmk. I'll probably be moving more into the long form video essay format soon after this. Thanks!
