  2. Sarah says:

    Monty Python ftw!

  3. Kit says:

    I now wonder out many times they had to shoot espeically funny scenes where one of them was making bizzare faces. Cause I sure can’t watch it without rofl’ing.

    • brewski says:

      John Cleese is actually a manic depressive. He wrote the show (and Fawlty Towers) off his meds, but when he acted, he was on them.

      • Ailia says:

        someone knows nothing about psych. wiki manic depressive, or bipolar. same thing. uppers = NOT what you want.

      • HP says:

        a manic depresive can cycle vey fast (no on a bike but there state of mind from happy to sad to mianc )with out there meds that why is called manic

      • Jake says:

        That is not true, he was never on medication for any “Depression”, He is the Master of Physical Comedy, Surreal Comedy and Black Comedy, meaning he takes bad situations and turns them into a humorous one.

  4. anon says:

    Oh his poor, poor knees!

  5. Beki says:

    My Brit loves it. ^__^

  6. we should have a minestry of silly walks. it would be run by children. they would do much better that those ‘politicians’.

  7. FrankiiDoodle says:

    Wonderful, the power that is the Python! I love the Ministry of Silly Walks.

  8. Pheemz says:

    Damn we’re awesome! :)

  9. rayui says:

    I am British and I admit, I cannot even watch Monty Python’s Ministry of Silly Walks without wearing a straight face. Thank God for nitrous oxide.

  10. Dylan H says:

    I’m sorry, but do Americans not know what absurdity is?

  11. proudtobe says:

    Why, certainly we American know all about absurdity. Just listen and watch Sarah Palin, a vice-presidential candidate, give a speech and you will witness the epitome of absurdity and asininity. And if that is not riduculous enough, look at some of the facial expressions of her running mate. Yes! Totally absurd.

  12. Pining4theFjords says:

    No, that’s why John Cleese is John Cleese.
    And Eric Idle is Eric Idle…
    And Graham Chapman is…er…was Graham Chapman…
    And so on…
    And so on…
    Only Pythons can be Pythons.

  13. scooby doo says:

    Funny sketch. Massively lame and unfunny caption.

  14. fawkes says:

    The straight face adds to the hilarity.

    Monty Python ftw!

  15. Protus Mose says:

    Hooray for British “humor” :/

  16. Markitteh says:

    Quite.

  17. Erinyes says:

    You can’t beat the Pythons.

  18. Dylan H says:

    The Goodies were way better. ^^

    • Bradders says:

      The Goodies could have been Pythons. They had performed with Cleese in “At Last The 1949 Show”.
      The BBC Scotland series Comedy Connections shows on The Goodies and Monty Python explain the connections.

  19. CDthe says:

    London 2012 – Olympics. First event – 400m Silly Walk

  20. Markitteh says:

    Waiting for “Dead Parrot Sketch” on Animal Planet.

  21. nikki says:

    Best thing I’ve seen on this site EVER!!!!

  22. The brain says:

    Yup – we brits do everything better. Silly walks, twit of the year awards, selling dead parrots… the list goes on and on!

    1 up the brits!

  23. Miss A says:

    I miss this. And the Goon Show. sigh…

    His laughter at Sarah Palin though, that’s priceless!

  24. Bradders says:

    In later life, John Cleese had problems doing this sketch because his hip was very painful. A few years ago he had it replaced. Michael Palin asked Cleese if he had kept the hip. Naturally, Cleese said that he hadn’t. Pailn was shocked and suggested that the hip that had performed the silly walks would have sold for good money on eBay.
    True story.

  25. Alyssa says:

    And that’s why we love the British, right?
    I’m so moving to London, just long enough to get a British accent, then I’ll come back to America and everyone will be like “WOW, YOU ARE SO COOL!”

    • tom says:

      I dont think you’d be particularly welcome there. I wouldnt move anywhere outside the country right now do to the actions of the present administration.

  26. Pissed Off of England says:

    Why did anyone even bother placing that caption on that screenshot? That is to say, why would you bother explaining the premise upon which the humour is founded?

    To sum up – well duhhhhhhhh.

  27. HP says:

    yes the british do everythign witha face we share it in time of trubble i happen to ahve that look booked for the 5 on december 2210
    <—- is british i can say thig like that with no face at all dont you know

  28. tom says:

    Only the British can do it without pulling something.

  29. PeachyKat says:

    “The Germans” was classic Fawlty Towers when Basil\Cleese did the silly walk!

    “You started it! You invaded Poland!”

    Funny how despite the sex-crammed, low-brow sh%t today, anything of that caliber would probably be taken off the air by the FCC for ‘racism’ if made in American TV today!

  30. KoopaStormTroopa says:

    i actually loled =) MONTY PYTHON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT LIKE SPAM!

  31. twilightlover33133 says:

    hah. I guess I’m British!!! lol

  32. Robbie says:

    bein british is awesome, long live the queen =D

  33. Keaydee says:

    Naaahhh… they can do it with a straight face ’cause most of ‘em have a stick up thier a**….

    • Ciara says:

      I love how americans think we’re the straight laced conservative ones when they can’t swear on tv, even at night. Its only because people like hugh grant and members of the royal family tend to be the only british people that get famous in america.

  34. me says:

    being australian is the best. but we still luv british humour.

    go oz

  35. llc says:

    ah, british humor…filth.

  36. jamrox220 says:
