If my late wife and I ever got into a tiff, one of us would say "Is this a five minute argument?" and that would break any tension. I highly recommend this technique for a long and happy marriage.
@@paulhanson5164You’re absolutely right! Got my Pythons in a twist there (which can be very painful). 😂 I’ve amended the comment now, thanks for pointing this out. 👍
Yeah I love this sketch, because its an archetypal Python sketch. Like, when I think of a python sketch - this is what comes to mind first. This, The Spanish Inquisition, Fish slap, and Woody and Tinny Words. Absurd but clever !
The very first MP I was introduced to was the “Undertaker’s Sketch” (“Are You suggesting we eat my mother??”), and the ball rolled hard and fast from there. That whole episode is a must-see (guys in the boat, etc).
Twit of the year, Ministry of Silly Walks, The Olympics, Dead Parrot, etc. Everything made by Monthy Python was ridiculously funny, although sometimes the sketches were quite critical about how England was being run by politicians.
You REALLY, REALLY, REALLY need to see the very, very small sketch called 'The fish slapping dance' its hilarious won't spoil it but your reaction would be a classic boomer reaction.
Is there a difference between a mallet and a hammer? Like a hammer, the mallet is also used for hitting objects. One of their main differences is that mallets have only one head and are commonly made of wood or rubber. Since a mallet is made of softer material unlike the metallic hammer, it is used to hit something more gently and not crush or dent the surface.30 Mar 2021. If you want to argue it will cost a dollar.
The Argument Clinic is the very first Monty Python sketch I ever saw. I randomly ran across it on PBS back in the mid-70s when they had just started running Monty Python on American TV.
Did you watch the Dirty Fork Python sketch? Cleese gets... cross. If not, watch the 'And now for something completely different' version, they made a film and it was just the old sketches reshot, very good either way but that version Cleese goes all out raging. Enjoy
The genius of this is how they keep switching it up. Just as you think they will do a third repetition, they come up with something else to continue. Perhaps not the funniest MP sketch, but certainly funnier than most sketches overall. :)
Great reaction, KB. They can still be very entertaining reactions even when the laughter levels are mild. Like you said, you appreciate the concept(s) and other elements within the sketch / show. 👍👍
Boomer, old chap! If the morphing of words via Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry tickle your fancy, how about trying 'The Secret Policeman's Ball sketch - School poem'? Hugh plays the schoolboy and Stephen the headmaster who has just called him into his study to question him about the poem's contents.
This skit from ?? 50 ish years ago seems so absurd. Unfortunately, the first two "room" pretty much have combined in todays internet "discussions". One of my favorite of all Pythons sketches.
7:04 That’s not … okay, but if you like these sketches, I’d recommend you watch all of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Because that’s not … that’s not the end of the sketch. The episode actually ends just a moment later, with a joke that is also the culmination of a running gag for the episode In a way, you could say this edit preserves that joke for an actual viewing of the episode But then that’s a perfect reason to recommend it lol Ton of gems in that show. Like the University of Silly Walks or the Twit of the Year Olympics 😉😆 Thanks for sharing your reaction 💙
Check out Nick Helm's a song for Susie Dent. He has a few episode on Countdown where he develops and loses his love for Susie. Definitely worth chexking out!
You have to watch "A Fish Called Wanda", it was the comedy of the year, here in Europe, back in the day. It has John Cleese in the lead, along with other Python members, although it wasn't considered a Python production....It has many UK vs US jokes...
This isn’t just one of their funniest sketches ever. It’s one of their most intellectual. They are actually teaching all about what an argument is. It is genius. My father was a brilliant man, a college professor (and department head), and author and a foreign language teacher at the graduate level (Spanish and medieval Spanish). The argument clinic and the scene in Life of Brian where Brian is caught writing “Roman’s Go Home” in the palace walls were, according to him, the funniest and most intelligent comedy hits he’d ever seen. By the way, you might do a reaction to that scene in Life of Brian if you haven’t already seen the movie. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IIAdHEwiAy8.htmlsi=JmIBLTA0B4BX3bl1 Although my personal favorite from that movie is the Loretta scene. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dgp9MPLEAqA.htmlsi=aP65QSlx44sKGWnG
Maybe you would enjoy "The Four Yorkshiremen". It stars John Cleese, Marty Feldman, Tim Brooke-Taylor & Graham Chapman. The best version is from the 1960s and in black & white.
@@MrGlobbits Sorry that went totally over my head, I was just watching an interview with the kid who knew the kid that shot at him. I was a bit triggered! (no pun intended on both counts)
If I argue with you I must take up a contrary position. But, that's not just saying "No it isn't". Yes it is. No it isn't. One of the best Python jokes.
Theres an extended one that is even funnier, with police coming in and holding the two responsible for running a "strange sketch"(with the cops hitting them over the head repeatedly.)
I always liked ‘The Architect’ and although it’s a bit of a cliché, The Parrot of course. But really, pretty much all Python is bloody brilliant. I grew up watching MPFC, often quoting lines at inappropriate times. It does encourage me when a new generation ‘discovers’ things I know so well.
If you REALLY want to see John Cleese go over the top, you need to watch the British TV show, Fawlty Towers. There are only about twelve episodes in the series, but there is some comedic gold in those episodes. "The Germans" and "The Kipper and the Corpse" are my favorites.
@@carlhartwell7978 I despair. It is The ARGUMENT Clinic... I watched John Cleese and Michael Palin in The 1960s BEFORE Monty Python started in 1969. After watching John Cleese since 1964 on "The Frost Report". I DO know who he is....lol
