When Palin says "Ooh, we used to dream of a corridor!" a) he delivers it perfectly, and b) as an actual Yorkshireman he gets it :)

These blokes had it easy. When I was a young lad, we had to walk naked seven miles to and from school in the freezing cold (regardless of the season), all the while being harrassed by fire-breathing dragons. After school, we had to toil in the tarpits (still naked), where we raked the boiling tar from one side of the pits to the other for no discernible reason, whilst being lashed by cackling demons wielding flame-tipped whips. When we got home, our dad would flay the skin from our bodies and decapitate us. And we were grateful.
Luxury...here in the USA the communists have taken control.
@@jimmarcinko3323 Too true. The fire-breathing dragons would be much easier to deal with than what we're witnessing.
I don’t know who I feel the most sorry for, Brett or Jim?
You try telling young ones today that and they would be highly skeptical
Paradise
I was in the co op today getting some milk and the two people behind the counter referenced this and three more people joined in it was a mad time,, between them they basically had the whole sketch down
+Lewsy Ffon Amazing experience!
One of those moments that just makes you happy to be alive...
Hell, I'm happier simply reading about it😊😊😊
@@negascoot23
Alive? You were lucky! In our day, once putrefaction set in, we had to roam the cemetery like zombies for a farthing a shift and if we weren't back in our graves by 4:00 am, our deceased dad would thrash us within an inch of our deaths......if we were lucky!
@@tompurcell1499 Well, when I said "alive", I MEANT we were chains of inanimate protein molecules which might some day develop into single-celled organisms...
But it was "alive" to us.
@@negascoot23
Aye! You're right there! Try teaching abiogenesis, autocatalytic reactions, biological evolution, mitrochondrial DNA and the Cambrian explosion to kids these days. Would they listen? Would they heck as like! Kids these days would be more interested in hanging around street hovels quoting Nietzsche, Kant, Wittgenstein or the likes of Hume. I should know, I had a gang of these ne'er-do-wells verbally attack me once on the sociological impact of dialectical materialism!
"Luxury" said in that Yorkshire accent by Graham Chapman is something my Dad taught me.
Many people say the parrot sketch is the best one but I say this is, not only the best Monty Python sketch but the best ever on TV.
They could be right, technically:
This skit was never on Flying Circus*. It's from Live at The Hollywood Bowl--the Python version, anyway.
It has been broadcast since then, but originally the only people who knew it either saw it performed live, or had the "Monty Python Live at The Hollywood Bowl" album.
Thus, a TRUE Python nerd could argue that The Parrot Sketch was the best sketch on Monty Python's Flying Circus WITHOUT spurning The Four Yorkshiremen.
*The sketch is actually a pre-Python work from At Last The 1948 Show, a comedy series from 1967 that Graham Chapman, John Cleese, and Eric Idle starred in before Flying Circus...
But they weren't
"Monty Python" yet at that point
"Is that a larch?"
😁
And the 'No womb' sketch, which is rather more apt today, than when it was first made. 😁
@@negascoot23 It is still Monty Python as they performed it as such
@@negascoot23Eric Idle wasn’t in the 1948,he was in Do Not Adjust Your Set with Jones and Palin.The 1948 cast was Cleese,Chapman,Tim Brooke Taylor and Marty Feldman.
As soon as Eric Idle says "RIGHT" you know what's coming.
-Lived in a pyramid.
-Luxor...y
I’m a 54 yr old Yorkshireman and everywhere I go outside Yorkshire people ask me to recite this sketch in my native tongue and also sing the Yorkshire national anthem “ Ilkley Moor baht at “
My Gran used to say “There are only 2 types of people in this world lad , people that were born in Yorkshire and people that wish they ad been”
She played this sketch to me tons of times when I were a lad
I miss her loads but whenever I see this I say it out loud and think of my old gran and how she used to cry laughing at it
This has to be the funniest sketch ever made
SHARKTHESPARK
She was a very wise woman! Much Love to her and you and your whole family. I'm sure she's having a right laugh in Heaven's Yorkshire.
Very true! There is also a saying something along the lines of "You never have to ask a man if he is a Yorkshireman. Within 5 minute he will already have told you!".. God Own County.
This is USA asking... what did you think of Foggy, Cleggie & Compo's version of Yorkshiremen? (Yes, this IS shown Stateside!)
@@l.salisbury1253 haha Last of the Summer Wine.I used to watch it with my Gran.Its filmed about 15miles up the road from me.
@@l.salisbury1253 Just noticed youve got an English surname yourself! 🇺🇸🇬🇧👍
Luxury.
this is exactly what people from yorkshire talk like
Clearly you haven't been to Scarborough. They tend to do this awful nasal whine, which grates like a lump of salty pumice after 16 years of it.
In fact, when I war a lad, they used to be so bad y'd ave t' plug yer lug oils wi' bit o' cold sludge off th' 'arbour wall, fer fear o' losing yer God-given muther tongue thissen.
@@Arthur-yf9yv You clearly haven't been to Filey, had to get up at 4 every morning to lick everyone's shoes to go home what was a lobster net in the side of the bay with nothing but a bit of mud to keep his full every night.
@@Arthur-yf9yv You clearly haven't been to Filey, Used to lick everyone's shoes before 11 o'clock in the morning to go home to a lobster net in the bay! We got paid nothing but a few sodding fossils found on the beach which we ate for supper. And that was a good day!
You clearly haven’t been to Sheffield.

There is a Cheese Shop in Kimberly, BC. The owner didn't have any Venezuelan Beaver Cheese. But she did the whole routine with me. Worth the visit!
I'm a yorkshireman and these guys were spot on on! (Besides the accents) these lads were lucky to sit on chairs I tell thee n t'old t'internet! Were a thing I could only dream of!
RIP Terry Jones. He's not the messiah . He's just a very naughty boy.!
I only just finished watching that film for the 63225th time before reading this comment
Instant classic the minute it was performed.
"Had to get up in the morning at 10pm an hour before I went to bed, and go work a 29 hour shift" I fuckin feel that...
Sucking tea out of a damp cloth? LUXURY!
There were 5020 of us and we had to share an old dirty sock that had been held over some steam for our breakfast once every 2 weeks before we had to work 26 hours a day down pit
Steam? You were lucky!
Breakfast…….lavish. I only got breakfast on my 26th birthday
Rest in peace Terry Jones Out of the door. Line on the right. One coffin each. Next!
He's not dead, he's pining for the fjords!
He is just resting
He's getting better
Among my favorites of all time - RIP Terry Jones
Absolutely. RIP Jones... x
These Monty Python "funny men" don't know what hard is. When we was young lads growing up in rural Australia in the 70s we didn't have fancy computers - we had to use a kangaroo for a toilet and use rusty barbed-wire and a box of old matches to wipe our bums with.
You lucky lucky bastards
@@alfiesolomons791 nice ones fellas.
Growing up in Derbyshire, I had to live in a small hole. In a wall in a coal mine
luxury
Weeeerl... you guys had it easy.
"We were evicted from our hole in the ground; we had to go and live in a lake!"
“We were evicted from out hole in the ground. We had to go live in a LAKE!” 😂
Genius. Just as funny every time.
Reminds me of some NA meetings where people are supposed to open up about their problems but instead they stooped into a not-so-subtle competition over who did the most drugs and who had the shittiest life experiences.
Yes, you know lol
That is why I don't go to AA anymore and just schedule my drinking
theres a good skit in there.
Fucking brilliant. The escalating exaggerations are just so perfect. And of course Idle sorta half-breaks the fourth wall and fully lets on that he, the character, refuses to pretend that this isn’t just writerly oneupsmanship. Deftly done.
I say “of course Idle” because he did always seem the most deconstructive one.
That was John Cleese in the original. Only Graham Chapman was in both performances...
My English ancestry is entirely from Yorkshire; I like to think of them sitting around like this telling each other how bad they had it.
In Yorkshire we still talk like this
I hear people all the time saying how hard life used to be
This sketch is the funniest thing I have ever seen anywhere
Always has been
Always will be I reckon
Al si thi later
Absolute genius. So true to life of the older generations reminding the younger ones how hard they hard it
After watching this many times I think "you were lucky to have a lake" might be the funniest line.
Along with "We used to dream of living in a corridor."
In the original B&W performance, Chapman's "Luxury." was probably the funniest just because of the impeccable timing as well as the camera focusing on him. It doesn't hit quite as hard in this one.
I was there....1983 Hollywood Bowl. They did the Albatross sketch right in front of our seating box.
Wasn’t it 1980
Omg. Albatross is my next fav!!
"You were lucky to sleep in a lake"
As a Lancastrian, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
There's not a great deal of difference between us,lad!
Tried to watch this while playing a baseball video game and I started laughing so hard that I gave up an inside-the-park homerun because I couldn’t stop laughing
Now you have a story to tell your grandkids about how tough your life used to be.
You were lucky to have a park...
Me and my class are doing this sketch for our Christmas performance.
GOOD :D
I stopped and said What if don't want to be doing something and then look up right
Bottom
Class? You're lucky to have a class. Back then all we had was a line of dirty kids that had to show up after a night of working the coal mine to get our legs hobbled by an old crone with a plank of wood
we were evicted from our class
We used to dream of living in a corridor!
There's a bathroom in your profile pic.
We got evicted from our corridor
nothing like monty python. never has been, never will be.
Lived in a box under a bridge the M62, fatha sent us down pits when we was 4, aye it were 'appy times :D
You bourgeoisie bitch, all 300 of us had to live in a match box off second street where we would have to wake up at 5 in the morning 2 hours before we went to speel to go work down the mill where we had to pay 2 pound for the privilege of working there and come back home to where dad would beat us to sleep with a concrete cylinder
@@cavedwella_6629 did father beat you with a broken bottle though? LUXURY 😁😁😁😁
@@cavedwella_6629 we had to live in a pothole
Popularly, and incorrectly, classed as a Python sketch, which it wasn't. It appeared originally on At Last, The 1948 Show.
Cardboard box? You were lucky!
These guys were lucky!
When I was young, we used to live in a disused lavatory in the middle of a defiled septic system in a toxic waste dump. Then we had to lick up the toxic filth with our tongues, which would kill us!
Then our undead bodies would have to go to work for 840 hours a day, 5,342 days a week... at a blender testing facility, where we'd be the test subjects! And we'd have to pay them for the privilege!
Then our frapped, pureed bodies would be shot off into space and only after 43 years would the orbit decay enough for our frozen, frapped, pureed bodies to be incinerated in the atmosphere and settle down atop our lavatory as ash.
Then we'd do it again the very next day! And we were HAPPY about it!
Kids these days. You tell them this and they won't believe you!
@Samuel Black I just died.
RIP Terry Jones. Wouldn't have been the same without you.
This is timeless
" I recall a version that one of the Pythons said "We lived in a pothole"
No one:
Every dad: you have it good, i used to ...
All these comments are hilarious!
And by "hilarious", I mean they drain every ounce of joy from my miserable soul and make me long for the sweet release of death...
But in my day, that's as close as we got to "hilarious".
Try telling that to the young people today...
That's right! I mean what's the sense of going abroad, if you're treated like just another tourist. Surrounded by sweaty oafs from...Oh, Sorry. Wrong sketch! Stupid git!
@@waynej2608 All fun aside, is there a joke here I'm missing...or are you *really* responding to the wrong comment?
It's okay...but it's Impossible to tell who's being serious here😂😝
Our family still quote from this "cardboard box? You were lucky!"
Reminds me of when my grandmother's sister would visit. We'd hear how supper every night was four boiled potatoes shared among the eleven kids and how they would take turns wearing the shoes for the walk to school.
Hilarious. Everyone of them plays it brilliantly. Godfathers of modern comedy.
Actually cried tears laughing at this.
"You try and tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you"...which is why lines from this bit are handy when talking to someone who's just getting started in this world as an adult, and they complain about something that's not as challenging as they think it is. Oh? "Luxury..."
You tell today's Rugrats that they going to shoot your ass
Luxury…….we had 300 of us living in a pothole, use gravel to wipe our bums and get paid $1 every 10 years down at the mill. Then our dad would sing off key to Adele
I hate that the crowd doesn't really get the joke when Terry Jones says "...or tea!"
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST SKETCH EVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"And you try to tell the young people of today that and they won't believe you!"
I find myself saying that a lot lately. And I'm only--ahem--41 years old!
I'm 42...
It only gets worse😜
Luxury!
@@negascoot23 Hey, I'm lovin' my 40s!
This is basically every discussion between people from "the hood"
türkiyede sürekli eskilerden bahseden o dönemlerin hep sefaletle geçtiğini dilinden düşürmeyen yaşlıları hatırlattı bana
Onlar ama çok şanslı, luxury!😅
Like it how Eric idle says "right" like he's trying to rember what he has to say
nah that’s their way of squaring off
You can tell the joke about belt lashings didn't land as well, probably too close to home for some.
Superb sketch.
Proud to be a Yorkshire Man
“… if we were lucky.”
2 down 4 to go was Cleese's reaction to Terrys death ....they still got it....R.I.P Terry Jones....my favorite line of his was...'He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy'...
After his incredible eulogy for Graham Chapman, this sounds about right.
I only hope there's someone capable of making the appropriately inappropriate comment once Cleese joins the choir invisible 😁
God rest and cherish Graham Chapman and Terry Jones, and love them for all the happiness they've given the world.
LUXURY!!
Those were the good old days. 😑🧐🎩☕
No one:
My parents when I’m sad: 0:00
Rest in power sir Terry Jones
I've always wondered if a version of this sketch would work with the Pepperpots instead of the four Yorkies
Da série: "Quanto pior, melhor!" Greetings from Brazil!
This was a much better version of the sketch from the 1948 show. Timing and delivery here are flawless. Absolute masters of their craft.
Fully agree, but original was legendary. Only the genius of Monty Python was able to perfect it.
For tuppence a month!
How much is tuppence in real American money? It's not two Murican cents is it? That ain't Shatner
@@hankkingsley9300 Two pence. Good question. Let's look it up. It appears tuppence is 2.29 pounds in 2022 money ($3.00). I'm guessing the gents in the sketch were referring to a 1920s childhood if the sketch was written in about 1970.
@@maxshea1829 okay then...how many pence to a pound Sterling and what is that worth...sorry your money system don't make no sense to a southern GA boy...100 cents equals one dollar. And the value of that may fluctuate but I ain't got no idea how your monetary system works
@@maxshea1829 why is tuppence more than a pound
@@hankkingsley9300 I'm American too. According to my Google search, before Brits decimalized the pound (£), there were 240 pence to the pound. The pound was divided into twenty shillings, each of which were further divided into twelve pence. Since decimalization in 1971, there are 100 pence to the pound (£), and the shilling was given the boot. So, now coins of lesser value than the pound are indicated as 10p, 25p, 50p, etc.
RUclips videos? Luxury!
E Bah Gum ! -That were great !
Classic,say no more
When he got home our dad would kill us and dance on our graves
Hahahaha we had a porter loo. That was it out Ouse.
"Well, what are you doing creeping around the cow shit at two o'clock in the morning? That doesn't sound very wise to me!"
Terry Jones, the World is less funny without you!!
"Led by a bottle, more like"
Brilliant!
I came here for Python, didn’t realise I crashed the next Labour leadership contest.
Wrong aspect ratio though. I don't know how this happens but it does, a lot.
I'm glad my kids accept things as normal that I thought were luxuries, isn't that the point of being a dad.

we were evicted from our hole in the ground😂
Michael Parkinson silently cheers on! Parky I love you miss you Terry miss you Graham miss you Neil
RIP, Terry Jones.
Originally on At Last the 1948 Show....believe Marty Feldman wrote this
Pedants corner, this was originally from “At Last the 1948 Show”. Sure someone else apart from an a******* like me has previously posted on the topic.
Luxury !
I love this
Class.
Michael palin was from Yorkshire
@ian x they can’t be too good at a Yorkshire accent otherwise they wouldn’t have got on in their acting careers at the time........I remember my teachers at school constantly saying to me “you need to drop your Yorkshire accent otherwise you’ll get NOWHERE in life”
Everyone over 50 on twitter atm
"Luxury"
Best. Sketch. Eveeer
Oo luxury. My pa keeps saying 😑
Palin's moustache is a work of art!
I suspect it was to camouflage his smile. 🙅♂️
Yeah they probably made their humble backstories up since not only do they keep contradicting themselves ,but the ones near the end get downright impossible LOL
SpookyRoseV thats the joke...?
SpookyRoseV wait. You really think that guy might not have been working 29 hours a day? Wow, I thought that this was just a bunch of old Yorkshiremen reminiscing honestly about their youth. Now I might have to re-evaluate my entire life
SpookyRoseV wow. Face palm
Please tell me you're trolling us😝
If I worked 2 days straight they'd be 10 hours behind schedule and you question the legitimacy of their story? Try being one real man's wage - this is nothing!
Comedy Gold😅
Interesting that Cleese wasn't a part of this skit, since he was involved in the original before Monty Python.
Was this because he'd left the group?
Luxury
This is too much lol
