just epic.
EPIC UNDERSTATEMENT.
THIS!!!!!!!!
IS!!!!!!
EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Monty Python ftw!
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.
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.
someone knows nothing about psych. wiki manic depressive, or bipolar. same thing. uppers = NOT what you want.
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
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.
Oh his poor, poor knees!
My Brit loves it. ^__^
we should have a minestry of silly walks. it would be run by children. they would do much better that those ‘politicians’.
Wonderful, the power that is the Python! I love the Ministry of Silly Walks.
Damn we’re awesome!
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.
I’m sorry, but do Americans not know what absurdity is?
No. We all thought that was just how he walks.
You made me LOL for about 5 minutes.
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.
You seem to have made a mistake. The politics belongs at Pundit Kitchen.
Joe Biden is better:
“When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened,”‘
Wrong Palin.
What about all the studdering your guy does? What about all his terrorist friends? Obama is just about as cool as getting AIDS.
You’re one to talk? You think being racist makes you cool? Weak person.
politics belong on pundit kitchen!
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.
You forgot about Cousin Michael.
Funny sketch. Massively lame and unfunny caption.
Actually, I’m british and wholeheartedly agree with this caption.
That’s EXACTLY why we’re British :3
The straight face adds to the hilarity.
Monty Python ftw!
Hooray for British “humor” :/
If it was British it would be spelt right.
No, it would be “spelt correctly”.
Sigh.
Quite.
You can’t beat the Pythons.
The Goodies were way better. ^^
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.
London 2012 – Olympics. First event – 400m Silly Walk
Don’t forget the Twit of the Year competition!
Waiting for “Dead Parrot Sketch” on Animal Planet.
‘E’s pinin’ for the fjords…
“pinin’ for the fjords…”??? What kind of talk is THAT??? He’s not pinin’, he’s passed on!!!
.
POLLY! *wham wham wham* POLLY!!! *wham* This, sir, is an ex-parrot! Well, now it is, you’ve gone and BEATEN the bloody thing!
Best thing I’ve seen on this site EVER!!!!
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!
…having no cheese in a cheese shop…
We sell dead parrots?
It’s another monty python sketch… One of my favourites actually. youtube it. dead parrot sketch.
I miss this. And the Goon Show. sigh…
His laughter at Sarah Palin though, that’s priceless!
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.
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!”
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.
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.
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
Only the British can do it without pulling something.
“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!
i actually loled =) MONTY PYTHON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DONT LIKE SPAM!
hah. I guess I’m British!!! lol
bein british is awesome, long live the queen =D
Daaaaamn, I love being British sometimes ^_^
*hums God Save the Queen*
what? the old lady in the shiny hat? faaaaack her!
Naaahhh… they can do it with a straight face ’cause most of ‘em have a stick up thier a**….
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.
being australian is the best. but we still luv british humour.
go oz
kath and kim ftw, and summer heights high, and we can be heroes! I love australian humour!
ah, british humor…filth.
you love it.
I’ve actually done that, and I’ve managed a straight face. HOORAY FOR BEING BRITISH~! 8D
