I grew up in America. In the 70s Monty Python was much watch television.

I love Monty Python! Started watching it in the early 80s. Didn't get the humor at first because I was not even a teenager yet, and because the humor was so different. They were comic geniuses!

What's genius is the way they switch saying "yes it is" and "no it' isn't".

This is one of my favorite skits. Its from the tv show. Sadly, this one is incomplete. In the full skit he goes to the wrong door. Instead of an argument he receives abuse, but then is sent to the correct room.

Try a search for - The Cheese Shop & The Dead Parrot & The Lumberjack.

The Lumberjack has lived in my head for decades, and I can't be mad about it because it's delightfully funny.

One my Favorite Monty Python skits !!!!!!! So many to choose from.....

One of their finest sketches Eddy. You’re right about the Two Ronnies. Many of these worked together on That Was The Week That Was and The Frost Report before they became respectively The Two Ronnie and Monty Python. Another classic sketch is Python’s Cheese Shop sketch involving the same two, Palin and Cleese.

It has been far to long since I have watched any Monty Python. So funny.. I miss those days of classic humor.. cheers.

They had so many great skits.. the Olympics for: Deaf people doing the relay race where the all just stayed at the starting blocks when the starter pistol went off, the cross-country race for people with weak bladders where every 2 seconds someone would have to dash into the woods to take a leak.. cracks me up just thinking about it.

Also The Upperclass Twit of the Year contest sketch from the tv series

They should've done one called the ministry of silly farts, love these snippets of classic Monty Python 😹

My favorite sketch is Flying Lessons. Definitely worth watching

Eddy The Two Ronnies was a different show, but they had worked with some of the Monty Python team before the Two Ronnies. Still it’s so funny

Monty Python sketches never fail to bring a laugh. Thanks for this one and please do more!😂

@@musashimiyamoto586 Reading comprehension really doesn't seem to be your strong suit! But I'll try again. I don't deny that they were hilarious. However you are claiming that ABSOLUTELY 100% of what they did was hilarious! Do you want to think again about that? I'm not old enough to have seen Python when it was originally aired but I sat through a lot of the repeats on TV in the 80s and 90s. The less successful sketches can't be found on KZread for obvious reasons. If you really demand a specific example, most of their last film "Meaning of Life" was just weird and pointless, although it still had moments of genius in it.

Yes, "so random" is a good description. Also hilariously silly!

Yes I agree. The Abuse session is bloody brilliant. I still go to a couple of Cafes and when they ask what they can do for me we play the Abuse card. It is great fun!

I was a kid in the early 80s. I always saw this circus show at late hours on PBS. I could never figure out why. One night I was up late and figured what the hell. OMG! I fell over laughing to How Not to Be Seen.

Great to see the whole sketch ❤

Monty Python's Flying Circus was a sketch show,and yes,it was around about the same time as The Two Ronnies.But a Python sketch you absolutely have to see is Hell's Grannies.

Actually, that wasn't the full sketch .... you should have also had the "Abuse" section and the "Complaints" section and the "Being Hit on the Head Lessons" section, too....🙂

It’s great how they’re arguing over what arguing is.

Monty Python raised the bar on what was possible w dialogue and dark satire. Their greatest full length film was The Life of Brian. I highly recommend checking out excerpts if you cant watch it all

"Abuse" in room 12 is missing.... here directly get into room 12A in this clip.

As is "complaints" and "being hit on the head"

Funniest show ever. Some time hit or miss. Other classic skits, "The Ministry of Silly Walks. " Also, the "Job Interview." This is from the TV show in the late 1960s or early 1970s. Another truly weird but funny one is "Bicycle Repairman" or the legendary world records of "Ron Obvious." They were all so talented, there is even one episode the whole troupe did the entire show in German!

Monty Python started with the Flying Circus skit show, then they moved into the movies. They have a couple of movies that are just a compilation of skits from their show.

The members of Monty Python said John Cleese never broke character, during sketches they could usually get at least one member to break character and laugh but John was like a stone which just added to his dry humor and deadpan delivery, even his sketch of the ministry of silly walks they were busting but he never broke, like he always took his comedy as though it were Shakespeare.

This is from the t.v show Monty Pythons Flying circus that ran from 1969 to 1974 or 75. Before any of the movies.

The Death dinner party is great. There are many good TV show skits too, they do a few Olympic events skits that are really good.

A lot of the sketches from Monty Python's Flying Circus are very good, some a bit so-so, but usually they have a degree of surreality to them. They were, to my memory, a bit before The Two Ronnies; maybe 5 or so years, but don't quote me!

Monty Python was filled with non-sequiturs and complete randomness both on the TV show and in their movies.

This sketch is from their tv show but was included in their movie - And Now for Something Completely Different.

I know a lot of people that should be locked up in a room together just so that they could chew each others ears out instead of mine, because they don't know when they should stop talking in the first place.

The movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail came out in 1975, and Life of Brian in 1979. This sketch was from the tv series which first aired from 1969 to 1974 and then appeared in reruns.

Monty Python's Flying Circus was created by writers heavily influenced by radio's iconic 'The Goon Show'!

This is excellent. By the way, I guessed that must have grown up or spent time in Ireland as soon as you opened out with, "What's the craic?" (I had a lot of Irish roommates as a student.)

My friend, if this is your kind of humor, you have got to check out an old America team called Abbot and Costello and their all time classic "Who's on First".

Flying Circus.....

You grew up in Ireland. So you'll know all about; Spike Milligan - First Irish Rocket To The Moon.

Just after that, he strayed into the room that was the ‘Insulting’ one.

It's like politicians debating :)

This is great! No it isn’t, yes it is. You haven’t got a sense of humour, yes I have, no you haven’t. 😂🤣

you have a fine sense of the ridiculous, which is needed for Monty Python

Brittish comedy is genius, in the 70s Monty Python and Not 9 oclock news was kings, in the 80's we had Black Adder, The young ones, the 90's consisted of Red Dwarf and Bottom, 2000's had Coupling and IT Crowd annd so on, admittedly there were much more great british humour in those eras but that is just what sprang to mind. Do not miss Red Dwarf and Coupling, there are a lot of great scenes on youtube!

Great stuff Eddy. Just a sketch beware though not all the sketches are as funny as this. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🙂

one other Monty Python scene to check out is Biggus Dickus

The Python's started in the late 60s before Two Ronnies that was in the early 70s

The Best ever.

"I've had enough of this." "No you haven't." "Oh shut up!" Priceless. They were masters at turning the everyday, into the absurd. But, they knew their stuff. Try the Travel Agent Sketch. It's a tour de force from Eric Idle. Also, The New Gas Cooker Sketch, or The Lumberjack Song! 😉😉

Pythons have Sooooo many , as u correctly said, "Genius" sketches. Mr. Show on HBO worshipped Python, and came close to being the "American Monty Python"! If you like this kind of stuff, PLEASE check out "The Audition" from "Mr. Show." Bob Odenkirk of "Better Call Saul" is one of the writers/actors in it. It's brilliantly absurd!
