Drawing Straws: The Ypres 1914 starts with this, and Graham's Colonel does everything he can to prevent making a Heroic Sacrifice. The affair devolves into a version of "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" and Rock-Paper-Scissors.

I see you have heard of comedy before.
Hilarious. This reminds me of a Viking story, crew gets stuck on an island and the wind won’t let them blow away. They similarly decide to off a person.(but as a sacrifice to the gods, not cuz of food) captain looses, doest wanna die. They do it over and over again until the crew convinces the cap to do a fake “ceremonial” sacrifice, they tie a rope to his neck and throw a fake spear. In the end OdIn makes the spear real in mid air and kills the cap and changes the wind. The story is like don’t cheat the gods or something, or like there’s no such thing as half way measures.
That officer is a time traveller. He is wearing WW2 medal ribbons during WW1.
The subtitles are infuriatingly wrong. Please fix them. PLEASE

Another sketch where Graham showed he could be just as funny as the others and didn't always have to be the straight man.
"Precisely." Subtitles: "Exactly." *the irony*
You've already 'aad best of three sir...
I remember a myth where a chieftain tried the same thing to escape his sacrifice to Odin. Since he was always chosen in the lottery, he and his servants decided to do a fake human sacrifice. They would wrap soft pig intestines around his neck, and poke his side with a stick. When one of his servants dedicated his death do Odin, however, the intestines became a tight noose, and the stick became a sharp spear, stabbing the chieftain and killing him. Moral of the story, dont trick the gods.
Thanks for the translation from British to normal language
there just isn't anything as good as Monty Python. in any genre, industry, whatever. with Graham, they were just perfect. R.I.P. you silly bastard.
I keep waiting for someone to say "I have a cunning plan!"
It's wonderful to have friends, that so stick together.❤️ That's healing, too. Look for someone who is in your workplace close to you. You would barely recognise him. You underestimate him, I'm quite sure
I read somewhere Graham would often be intoxicated whilst tapings
"There's 5 of us but 4 rations. One of us has to go." "I have the gun, you you guys figure it out between yourselves."
I thought he's gonna say it's average seized. I'm spoled by internet...
I love how they simply do not even consider sharing lol.
The most classic comedy team ever. !!!
"What'd we say, the longest straw, was it?" "No, the shortest, sir." "Best of three?" Holy Grail: "One, two, five!" "Three, sir!" "Three!"
Heh he just lost best of three at the second draw! 😂
Subtitle guy was writing his item script
Funny enough he saw the shortest straw sticking out the last time and he still picked it He wanted to sacrifice but without dying 😂
I half expected the Spanish Inquisition when the music played
Loved Monty Python.
“Make the subs accurate or draw 25” This guy: well looks like that’s 25 more cards for me…
You get the shortest twice, that's already best of three.
i like how the idea of just going hungry and trying to hunt for food is not even an option lol like why die now when you can possibly obtain food.
They were so great.
Only the British could make such a dark subject so hilarious
That sergeant sure works for his living
at that musical sting I was expecting the Spanish Inquisition
*POOOOWWW* "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition... wait, I thing we're in the wrong sketch".
They could have just taken some rations from each person to feed the 5th. Taxes style 😂
Sorry, I hear that sting and I expect the Spanish Inquisition!
The twist is he's actually got the largest straw the last time but he's just holding it by the top
Spoken like an officer whose found himself in a hot spot by mistake.
This man knows true comedy 😂
Who else thought he was going to shoot one of the others? 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🌈🙏♥️

I was expecting colonel to shoot one of them instead of shooting himself.
Love how he says BEST OF THREE? Two losses is already best of three lmao

Check out M.Python argument clinic: "I paid you $5 for an argument!".........."No you didn't!"🤣😂😊........ CLASSIC!
The dude in rhe middle looks like the traumatized soldier meme
The British army was well supplied when it came to food rations during WORLD War 1.
I have never seen this sketch😂 i didn't even know there were MP WW1 sketches
I think in the original joke, after losing for the third time, the officer takes the gun and shoots the Padre...then says, "Difficult thing, but had to be done," :)
"Knows what to do." I thought whomever drew the shortest straw would shoot the officer.
Nice captions, dingus.
