Monty Python - Merchant Banker Sketch 

This is the best Python Sketch ever. Forget the Dead parrot.

"I forget my name for the moment... but I am a merchant banker."

Apparently John Cleese actually forgot the name on the plaque while filming this sketch, but they went with it...Genius.

Cleese and Jones are both brilliant in this. One of my favourite Python sketches.

and as Murphy's law goes.. "In order to acquire a loan you must first prove you do not need it"

It's gift... WHAT!? I'm a pound down on the whole deal... MP are great.

Wow. This is just sooooo good. And still and accurate observation on how investment bankers tend to think...

you know the video is going to be good when it starts out with a Python in drag getting hammered.

if you look at the trapdoor while it's opening, you can see the heads of the crew below

4:12 I love how you can see the set hand.

"Ah, where`s that dictionary....mmh....'Inner life'...'inner life'....."

One of my favourites. Of course the joke is he can't conceptualise charity, he's not being sarcastic. Thanks Sherlock. 😂😂

Pity you can't see the How Rich I Am graph on the wall !

"Here at Slater/Nazi we are quite keen to get into orphans." - them and the rest of the BBC.

There are obviously just people inside the horse costumes.

Fools steal with a gun! Genius steal with a pen!

Funny how you can see somebody's head when Jones falls down to the hatch : D

So nothing's changed then : (

Skeych got rather silly at the end!

Summarises the ethics of the Australian Liberal Party perfectly.

wow, the power... i find it alluring, perhaps i shall become a merchant banker

In the US he would be a Republican poster child.

The podcast Fistshark Marketing is not unlike this sketch.

If the investment bankers of modern day America had been so concerned with securities our economy might not have collapsed in 2008.

Stephen Fry did this sketch with Bob Geldorf on Secret Policeman's Ball.

The banker is just like Scrooge from the book Christmas Carol.

Sounds like scientology.

Is it weird that I find this quite upsetting? Poor Terry

Lemon Curry?

Haha! Never noticed that!

Was I the only one who thought it was Columbo in the thumbnail?

well, when do you really need an area of aesthetic and recreational land planted with grasses or other durable plants?

Was that Trump or were they impersonating him?

aR Yuu SHourre?

Grunge rock bands are also known as garage bands, mostly coming from New Jersey, very similar with the Bay area thrash metal scene in Frisco early 80's with garage bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Heathen, Testament, Exodus, etc. but grunge was a completely new sound, they mixed Black Sabbath with more modern sounding rock and pop. the main goal was to sound non commercial but back to basics of rock and still get your attention, incoporate different things in the music, very similar to Stoner rock, bands like Monster Magnet, Kyuss or Fu Manchu. check out Monster Magnet's Spacelord
