Heres the thing... Python was a bit magical because individually they are all brilliant comedy writers and performers. Absolute top tier, elite comedians. Thats individually. Together, ideas bouncing off each other, sparks and ideas flying.... They then can make a solid claim to best comedy troup in the history of the sport. Improv moments like these would be both easy and natural for them. Monty Python was comedy as an artform performed by Masters.

Have you ever seen Michael Palin's and Terry Jones' 'Ripping Yarns'? Hilarious, of course.

In the Biggus Dickus scene, the howling laughter after he says "Incontinentia Buttocks" is actually the cameraman who couldn't hold himself together and they left it in

A long, long time ago, I was the guitar player in a band. One time, we had a university gig In Glasgow and, after the sound check, we repaired to a nearby public house along with the support band. The pub was full of students and was as rowdy as any hostelry would be under the circumstances. Python came on the telly, and the place immediately fell silent, apart of course, from the hilarity. It is one of my abiding memories from that time.

Oh, man! this was my life growing up! We all loved Python. That very short but direct bit between Michael and John, always stuck out. D'you want to come back to my place? Looks around...

Damn near broke Cleese!

"I'm not" has to be one of the funniest and most thought-provoking two words in the history of comedy.

it would be so much better if we could just see the clips without the continuous commentary.

I'm surprised you didn't include the Life of Brian scene where PFJ member Stan revealed he wanted to be Loretta so he could have babies. Cleese made a comment about "Where will the fetus gestate; are you going to keep it in a box?" He and Idle hid their faces so the camera didn't catch them laughing.

The whole trans movement told off and dismissed in one scene.

The best unscripted part of all Monty Python movies was, when Brian accidentally fell off the tower and happened to fall into alien spaceship. It's a miracle that onboard security footage survived, as well as did Brian. Otherwise, they would need to reshoot all scenes with new "adult Brian". Lucky bastards!

Gotta be the Biggus Dickus sketch, best ever anywhere.

Welcome to Mojo UK, where we ruin classic comedy clips by talking excessively over the top of them.

I have always loved Monty Python and I own so many of their shows I even raised my children watching these awesome show. When I would take them for walks they would pretend to be on horses and shout (RUN AWAY RUN AWAY)

Me too, and I think the best laugh ever from my then young teen son was when I mentioned needing to go to the store and return something and said “I hope this won’t be a dead parrot scene.

Ever since "The Meaning of Life," I can only say "salmon mousse" like Death did.

The definition of comedy. And it's apotheosis.

Classic scenes they never get old even the faulty towers are priceless also 😂😂😂😂

To this day, I cannot get Mr. Creosote out of my mind! The infamous haute cuisine restaurant skit was one of the grossest, funniest skits of all their movies. "Bucket for Monsieur" was the tip of the coming hilarity and references to bodily functions. 😂🤣🤤🤮

I love Cleese’s laugh

I love Monty Python and I’ve got the whole box set of dvds. 😂😂😂

you forgot to include the "oh, intercourse the penguin!" shout from Graham. for me, the real #1.

The greatest comedy group ever! 😄💯

Times were hard for us in the U.K, but the likes of Mony Python, and many, man more brightened up the day. The zanny days have now gone, along with comedy

I love that they crack each other up, makes it that much more funny. Lol!

Thanks! Didn‘t know who said those lines. “ He played Gregory (and other roles) in the controversial Life of Brian (1979) - a religious spoof about a man mistaken for the Messiah - uttering two of the film’s most memorable lines. During the final crucifixion scene, Brian’s fellow prisoners try to pass themselves off as him in order to escape death (a subversion of the “I’m Spartacus” moment in Stanley Kubrick’s 1960 film). Amid the many cries of “I’m Brian”, Gregory exclaims “I’m Brian, and so’s my wife” - an ad lib by Bayler. Earlier in the film, when the assorted throng worshipping Brian shout in unison “We are all individuals”, Bayler interjects “I’m not” - another ad lib.” - Guardian

The first time I watched Life of Brian and the Dickus scene, was the only time I’ve very nearly, had a momentary loss of bladder control from laughing 😂. Loved both Holy Grail and LoB. You can always tell a Brit if they can quote a line or sketch from Monty Python

Love love love Monty Python. I was a rare female fan in the 80s and 90s. I will never forget quoting Python in the middle of a group of half a dozen guys. They had never even met a woman who liked Python and my quip was met with a stunned silence. Then I suddenly had 6 new best friends. Long live Monty Python!

What was the quote?

They were absolute genius's....Love their work my whole life!!

I'm surprised the Cleese/Chapman mortuary scene ending with the line "...tell you what, we'll eat 'er, and if you feel bit guilty afterwards, we'll dig a hole and you can... (et-cetera'd for those who don't like their humor quite so dark)"

I once had the printed version of The Life of Brian in book form which was released just before the movie. The first half of the book was the script. The second half was printed upside down and started from the back printed in tabloid newspaper form containing the directors notes and advertisements. It included one killer for sale ad…….For sale one budgie. Likes children but will make do with a bit of bird seed and water……boom boom…..lol

Palin is a genius!

I never noticed before that, right before the unscripted spin, he unscriptedly drops the coin on the ground. You can see him look at it falling then carry on with the scene.

Too much narration, not enough content

videos like these are why I watch KZread Thank you

"Hey! I didn't have any mousse" is a really creepy punchline to the setup, when you think about it.

Best comedy ever, the dross that passes for comedy today should take note 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧

Python is by far the funniest comedy troupe that had a show on the BBC in the early 70s followed by 3 films.

@Daryl O’Grady Officially they have four feature films, the first being “And Now for Something Completely Different”.

Michael Palin IS Monty Python, even down to the initials !! Outrageously funny ! The first 3 minutes of Holy Grail are comedy genius, one of my favorite bits of MP/MP, and all down to his comedic skills :)

Palin giving Cleese his line is way funnier than it should be.

" Blow your noses and seize him." Brilliant !!
