MP helped get me through the miserable early stages of adolescence. Their inventiveness, absurdist aesthetic and general zaniness helped shape my worldview forever.
@x40xandus Russia is the second best army in Ukraine. Wagner proved Russia is the second best army in Russia. Putin is only alive because Wagner decided its too much trouble to start a Civil War. If any leader of any real strength had a rebellion he'd put their heads on spikes. Putin just let him recruit and retrain in Belarus. This time next year Wagner will be able to overwhelm the Russian military. Face it, the Russian military sucks.
Trotsky singing "I'm Just an Old-Fashioned Girl". What kind of twisted mind makes that up? These guys should have been elected to the U.S. Senate, or the House of Lords, depending on their country of origin.
I'm a huge MPFC fan, and don't recall this bit, at all. LOVED it. Actually laughed out loud. The names that the characters have are funny, as well. Mr Pither.
I like the poster at 6:25 , advertising a variety show, it’s a nice touch that would have taken a bit of work but they don’t draw attention to it. Burgess and Maclean as a double act, I suppose that was recently in the news right about when this was aired. I had to wiki who bulganin was, and I wonder why they added Cook and Moore at the bottom. Maybe no real reason….
@@JohnSmith-el2nj I was actually in. te audience when they filmed the live sections at BBC TV. A long time ago.... ...but sadly my Crunchie. is well past it's expiry date.
Cook and Moore, along with Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett, came out of the Oxford and Cambridge student revues, and then were in the original 'Beyond the Fringe', kicking off the 'Satire Boom' of the early 60s. Several of The Pythons (and The Goodies) were in the Cambridge Footlights Club a few years later, becoming famous with the show 'Cambridge Circus.'
Graham died, possibly of horrible, perhaps unimaginably painful tonsil cancer and one is forced to wonder if it was a direct result of gobbling roosters most of his life.
Have not seen this one. Super funny. I wonder what gibberish they speak when they pretend to speak Russian (I know it is NOT Russian, but sounds like some other slavic language...)
Which is why the Soviets generally did not use firing squads. Their usual method of execution was a pistol bullet fired into the back of the head at point-blank range.
4:25 Now I get it! British politicians have been watching too much Monty Python lately! That's why they think supporting Ukraine is a good idea! They think this is all real and Russian soldiers always miss!
% TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't ignore this message... REPENT NOW !! TRUST that God raised Him from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !!
