Very surprising the Greeks leaving out Pythagoras and Anaxagoras for this match. A strong defensive midfield unit, it was a shock both players were dropped for a crunch tie. And the Germans leaving Goethe on the bench was also a surprise but to be honest I think he has been carrying a knock.
"Socrates scores! Beautiful cross. The Germans are disputing it. Hegel argues reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics. Kant, via the categorical imperative, is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination. Karl Marx is claiming it was an offside." Brilliant!
British humour is pretty much the same as any other national humour. When it’s good it’s funny but there is plenty of unfunny comedy in Britain. RU-vid provides the good stuff.
Silliness? It was 50 years ago and our world has changed dramatically since then. Almost nobody would be able to understand it properly because to do so one needs a thing called education.
I love this so much, especially the marathon for the incontinent. It reminds me of a lot of marathons. I don't know how many people appreciate the philosphers football, but it is priceless.
@@krazybubbler, when giving a yellow card...a referee will write the players name or number in his book so that he can remember if he has to give a second yellow (which is a red card and expulsion) later on in the match. Also, in tournaments and leagues, getting yellow cards can have disciplinary effect over time if you get too many. So referees keep track of who has what by writing it down in his little book.
Have to say, that was a pretty damned good cross and header for that goal, for random actors pissing about in robes to get that in a single take is impressive.
I would have thought that Pythagoras in goal should have been the obvious choice. While he was there he could be checking that the square on the hypotenuse of the goal post was equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. ✌️✌️
The trans-species chicken-gender steeplechase was exemplary, I thought. Both inclusive and fair. Though the swimming for people who can't swim, highlights the hazard of events for people who merely 'identify' as swimmers.
These sketches wouldn't be possible today. Some who feel like being chicken would sue the production for discrimination. Other NGOs would sue them for being racist¬ placing all races on the show.
@@walterhofer937 It was a joke. If you have ever had to sit through a baseball game, you'd wonder how Americans complain about the lack of action during soccer matches.
They have a pretty good special Olympics broadcast as well . Contestents in the high jump must clear a stack of 3 matchboxes. Then get into a car and back it up. Nuts ,,, one athlete hits himself with the car. Flying circus stuff. Good stuff. Thanks for the memories!
I've never seen this but it was hilarious 😂 And in today's society with it's hatred and negativity, this was refreshing and brilliant. Love Monty Python!
They were educated people who had studied Classics and read these philosophers. So unlike Michael Macintyre or Jim Davidson or Bernard Manning they could make comedy about intelligent, complex subjects.
On the race for incontinence i woulda had 1 guy step out before the start and make like he was gonna pee on the wall and the ref throws him out for a false start.
These guys could make look ridiculous absolutely everything! And the fact that Aristotle wins shows that they were really smart and knew more than we could imagine...
@@drfibonacci7570 That's not an own goal, if you look closely the goalkeeper was German, besides the commentator said that Socrates scored, he would have mentioned if it was an own goal, also at last Greeks were celebrating with the Trophy, which means they won the match for that goal.
Im already thinking of what I could bitch and moan about in your comment, but Im afraid I am too unwoke to do so. ha! Got it!!! You forgot the period at the end of your sentence!
Brilliant ! I have forgotten so much of this. I was only a Child at the time and was only allowed to watch BBC2 at 9:30pm , IF the film on BBC1 was something called: Rubb-seen-ish-it; OR Watson's-other Side.
@@ccidral Reference to high-ranking Nazis fleeing to various South American countries after the war. Bormann was a high-ranking Nazi who was presumed to have died in the Battle of Berlin, but no body was ever found.
Epic humor from the past, where there was less freedom for most people who lived in tyranny, but they were thinking one but were afraid to speak. Now they are free to speak, but can't say a sh.t because they don't think. We all fcked up our lives with Androids.
@Jason That's true, it's just nowadays society is so hysterical about the smallest unimportant things that I think even though it's totally unimportant some people - with too much time on their hands - would be triggered by that.
What can I say? Side splitting funny still to this day. My bro and I grew up with this. Marx has gone to the left😅😂🤣🤣🤣 So crates is contemplating his move. This should be put in a time capsule.Back here 2023. Still TFF.
Noticeably missing from those hallowed Sillys was a crowd favorite.. 'The Royal Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things at the Grillo-Mat'..denizens of Luton on Larch were quite apoplectic at its omission..
I'm surprised Archimedes wasn't more protective of his sphere. Also, love that only Kant had his first initial listed, as if you'd confuse him with some other famous German philosopher named Kant.
@@S0ngsyngr Archimedes built an astronomical clock (the anticyther machine), almost 1700 years before Leonardo da Vinci. His machine was able to predict sun eclipses and the position of the solar system's major planets. 250 years before Christ !
And the UK has disowned John Cleese for actually understanding how absurd the place has become... Monty Python should be rinning Britain, they'd sure do a better job
