'Pinin' for the fjords'
Best line in any sketch ever for sheer ridiculousness.
1:40
top tier euphemism for death
Any sketch ever?
That is an AWFUL lot of sketches.
Perhaps you should change it to '...any sketch I have heard/seen for...'.

Never knew there were so many ways to describe a dead parrot. And so eloquent, too! "This is a LATE PARROT!" XD
Ex-parrot,
THIS PARROT IS NO MORE
Parrotn't
This parrot has checked out for good!
“This parrot has ceased to be!!!” is my favorite.
"It's not paining, It has passed on!
This parrot is no more!
It has ceased to be!
It's expired and gone to meet its maker!
This is a late parrot!
It's a stiff, bereft of life! It's rests in peace!
If you hadn't nailed him to the perch he'd be pushing up the daisies!
It has run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!"
Beautiful, just fucking beautiful!
Archie Manalang Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
+Kendra Marybeth Davenport Pining for the fjords? What kind of talk is that?
PhoenixPrincess10 The Norwegian Blue prefers keepin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
+Archie Manalang *pining
+Kendra Marybeth Davenport *kippin' on its back
"Hello Miss."
"What do you mean, 'Miss'?"
"I'm sorry, I have a cold."
Well done you quoted the video
+Kevin Lebby Underappreciated joke.
+Charles Philip Trash Thank you! Very underappreciated.
That's just brilliant....hahahahah
I think he said "complaint" than "cold"
"sorry we're closing for lu-"
"NEVERMIND THAT MY LAD"

Charles Philip Trash if you ever sell me a dead parrot you wont have a job never mind lunch!
I am ashamed to admit that I am a norwegian...
who did not realize until now that there are no parrots in Norway...
I'm a Norwegian too - and if there's anything I'm ashamed of it's that we have too many parrots living here in our country.
+Tom Roger Lilleby but they sleep all the days right...?
+ Tom Roger Lilleby Yes but they are dead parrots, they are no longer among the living and are therefore ex-parrots!
You're right; problem is they run the country!
Lord Geezmo the joke was because an African grey parrot was a common species of parrot to own in the uk in the 70s.
John's voice just makes this sketch even more hilarious.
And his choice of clothing, hair style, height, lack of geographical awareness, pretty much everything really.
Saw him in Columbus, Ohio almost 2 years ago :)
@@WilliamMc91 you didn't!
@@iancurtis1152 yeah hahahaha hair voice and that face he's pulling!
_Paaaaaynin'_ for the fjords?!
Wow... 40 years since Monty Python started... and still fresh.

Nahh he just resting
And RIP Terry Jones.
The life of Brian
@@BarkinsYTnah he's just stunned
Ancient comment
I remember learning many English euphemisms for "dead" from this sketch... Joined the choir invisible, pushing up daisies, gone to see its maker etc. But my absolute favorites are the simple ones: This parrot is NO MORE! This is an EX-parrot!! LOL
HELLOO PARROT! *bangs parrot on table*
That my fav scene
That my dad and my favorite part (my dad used to watch this in college)
*PETA OPEN UP!!!*
I lost my shit there!
I think he said 'Hello Polly/Polley'.
But I agree... it is hilarious.
☮
Favorite Monty Python sketch. This parrot wouldn't voom if you put 4 thousand volts thru it!... THIS PARROT IS NO MORE! IT CEASES TO BE... THIS IS A LATE PARROT!!!
My 8 year-old daughter adores this sketch. Never too young to appreciate British classical humour!
If one can never be too young to appreciate British classical humour, then it ought to be the case that your daughter also appreciated and adored this sketch when she was 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 11 months, 10 months, and so on down to 1 month, 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 6 days, down to 1 day old, down to 1 minute old. Or is it the case that she only began to adore and appreciate it when she was 8 years old? In that case how can you say that you're never too young to do so? If you really are never too young to do so, then she should have been appreciating and adoring it since she was born.
or even before she was born. When she was a 9 months fetus, or a 7 months fetus or even a 2 month fetus!
The Lamb On the other hand, you're _really_ never too young to appreciate a naked bod. After all, you swam up and spent 9 months inside of one ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Adam Conley bro. im sitting here thinking how i was 6-7 watching these VHS’s.. keep it up man, youre doing the lords work
The Lamb
Wow, thanks for wasting everyone's time with that comment.
The parrot was 'Bolton' to it's perch.
Turns out it was a pun.
Goddamnit.
Huh? Shouldn't it be "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton" to its perch? How can something be bolton to something? You mean "bolted" to its perch, not "bolton". What on Earth is "bolton to its perch"?? That's neither a pun, nor a palindrome, nor any other recognised wordplay. If the parrot was flying quickly to Ipswich, then you could say that "it's boltin' to Ipswich", which would be a pun. But "bolton to its perch" is meaningless. Or, if the parrot was moving quickly to its perch, then you might say "it's boltin' to its perch". BTW its = belonging to it. It's = it is.
She loves me very much :) But not as much as your mother loves me.
'Bolt on' to its perch
Nah, it's actually a town in Manchester England. No gag, just a location.
Monty’s dead Parrot skit has to be their funniest skit, along with “it’s just a flesh wound” and so many others!
It's not funny at all
@@goblinoide I guess that you don’t appreciate English humor.
"Pining for the fjords" always gets me.
I once showed this to a group of Chinese English students, using a video on a Chinese site that had Chinese subtitles. When it came to the part where he says 'shagged out', the translators wrote: 'You said he was tired because he'd been having sex'.
Were you selling them opium as well?
I love my Norwegian blue, despite its odd episodes of being stunned, or laying on its side pining for the fjords, it has truly lovely plumage. Remarkable animal.
WAKE UP POLLY PARROT
jamiealsen There, it moved.
Isaac Kim No, it didn't. That was you pushing the cage.
Fedora Gamer I did not!
+Isaac Kim Yes you did! Hello, Polly! POLLY! POLLY PARROT, WAKE UP! Polly! Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
Fedora Gamer It's stunned. A beautiful bird, though, lovely plumage.
Still tell people I'm from Notlob to this day.
+Rein Engel i'm from yrub originally,greetings from melbourne australia :)
+neil froggy Crompton Did you know that there was a Notlob mechanical engineering company near Brisbane?
No idea as im from victoria :)
+neil froggy crompton I'm from the UK, I googled 'notlob' and that was one of the first things that came up - thought it might be famous..
Im from the uk originally but now live in melbourne victoria australia.
We red the script of this in our english-books in Sweden when I was a kid.
That's how good it was.
That’d be a good one.
This is an ex parrot.
well better replace it then.
Luke Dearey If you want to get anything done in this country, you have to complain until you go blue in the mouth.
trexlpl sorry gub, we're all out of parrots.
Chiko was here Its just pining
+Chiko was here no it isn't
A very Monty Python classic!
lopz33 -- "Monty Python" the noun, or "Monty Python" the adjective?
edzzup no it's Monty Python the adverb.
GET ON WITH IT!
Yes get on with it!
That's how you don't assume gender.
"If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisys..It run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible..This is an ex-parrot" This line and "I've got a slug...Does it talk? Well no not really. Then its scarcely a replacement then is it." they are my favourite lines in this sketch I can never stop laughing lol.
I always lose it when he bangs the parrot on the counter.
Can you believe that the beginning of the script to this sketch was one of the texts on the A level English lang&lit exam one year?! We literally analysed it when we were doing a past paper earlier today!
FANTASTIC sketch :D
Who knew there were so many adjectives for dead!
ajs1031 And also bought the farm, kicking the bucket.
Chris Person wooden onesie
He fucking snuffed it! Shuffled off his mortal coil
Breathed its last and bit the dust. Went six feet under.
In a reunion live show 2014, instead of saying the parrot has expired and gone to meet it's maker, John Cleese says it has expired and gone to meet dr Chapman... certainly a nice and beautiful line of dedication to their late partner and friend....
Monty Python never gets old.
R.I.P. Graham Chapman
If you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies. XDD
"He's probably pining for the fjords."
michael palin and john cleese are my two favorite pythons. I love all their sketches together, they make a great comedy pair.
mine are Graham and Eric!
"There, it moved." :D
For those who wonder:
I used to live 100 yards away from Michael Palin.s house. He is a very humble man, he is originally from Sheffield never study at a private school,has 3 children, all of them attended a public school,
Sir Michael Palin sadly lost his wife recently,
He lives in the Gospel Oak NW3 area in the North part of London, and his house is surrounded by social houses (Camden Council)
He is the Britain.s most humble and loving gentleman!
I’m listening to his diaries of the python years. He also tragically lost his sister to suicide in the 80’s
@@xgreenjacket I didn't know about his late sisters situation.
Thanks for the information.
@@xgreenjacket I didn't know about his late sisters situation.

Maybe he wouldn't appreciate you telling us where he lives.
"If you want to get anything done in this country, you've got to complain until you are blue in the mouth"
Blue like an ex-parrot that has ceased to be.
It's pining for the fjords.
It's not pining, it's passed on!
U.V. S. No, no, it's stunned.
Thanks Piers!
"If you want to get anything done in this country, you have to complain till you're blue in the mouth."
All these years later, that's still true.
This is the best 5 minutes of comedy ever put to celluloid. Monumental.
I took the liberty of examining that parrot, and the only reason it'd been sitting on it's perch was because it was NAILED THERE.
I've seen this skit numerous times, and it still makes me laugh. :)
like how they both keep a straight face!
my mother and my sister bought a rabbit from a pet shop near us a couple of years ago. it inexplicably died about 3 days later. my mother went back to the shop to tell the guy behind the counter. "What? No you must be mistaken. We don't even sell rabbits."
true story.
"This is a late parrot!"
THIS! Is an EX....PARROT !!
Well, I better replace it then.
"What u mean miss?"
Sorry I have a cold".....Brilliant!

***** Or... Madam I'm Adam.
These days you have to complain until you're blue in the mouth to even get people aware of the issue.
double entendre there, mate - blue in the mouth; Norwegian blue
One of the best of Monty Python sketches! Love this one.
THE Greatest and most hilarious Python sketch ever. John Cleese and Michael Palin worked so brilliantly together. And John Cleese' voice was perfect for this masterpiece 🤣🤣
this could be the best piece of comedy ever made
"That parrot is definitely deceased!"
That is so verbose and superfluous I love it.
Just been to Notlob, it wasn't nearly as entertaining as this
I'm honestly surprised at the lack of Monty Python memes these days. TONS of potential for new meme formats.
Monty Python's best sketch! Next was the cheese shop. Incredible talent, well scripted and acted.
you know what I love? there are no troll comments here. only laughter. tx!!!
One of my favourite Montly Python sketches ever.
THERE HE MOVED
A Michael Palindrome?
I see what you did there 😆
No. That would be Emordnilap Leahcim.
A: Hello, I wish to register a complaint.
A: Hello, miss.
B: What d'you mean, miss?
B: I'm sorry, I have a cold.
A: I wish to make a complaint.
B: Sorry we're closing for lu-
A: Nevermind that my lad, I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased a half an hour ago from this very boutique.
B: Oh, you have a Norwegian Blue, what's wrong with it?
A: I tell you what's wrong with it.
A: It's dead, that's what's wrong with it.
B: Nah, nah, i-it's resting, look!
A: Look, my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now!
B: Nah, nah, it's not dead, it's resting.
A: Resting?
B: Yeah.
B: Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, beautiful plumage innit?
A: The plumage don't enter into it.
A: It's still dead.
B: Nah, nah, it's resting!
A: Alright then.
A: If it's resting, I'll wake it up!
A: *Hello, Polly!*
A: *I got a nice cup of fish for you when you wake up, Polly Parrot!*
B: There, it moved.
A: No, he didn't!
A: That was you pushing the desk!
B: I did not!
A: Yes you did!
A: *Helloo, Polly!*
A: *Poollyy!*
A: *Polly Parrot! Wake up!*
A: *Polly!*
A: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
B: Nah, nah, it's stunned.
A: Look, my lad, I have just about enough of this.
A: That parrot is definitely deceased!
A: And when I bought it, not half an hour ago, you assured me that its lack of movement - was due to it being tired and shagged out after a long squawk!
B: He must have been pining for the fjords!
A: _Pining for the fjords,_ what kind of talk is that?
A: ????
B: The Norwegian Blue prefers kicking on its back!
B: Beautiful bird, lovely plumage-
A: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot, and I discovered that it had been sitting, on its birch, in the first place, was that it was nailed there.
B: Of course it was nailed there; otherwise it muscled up to those bars and _voom!_
A: Look matey, this parrot won't voom if I put four thousand volts through it.
A: It's fleeting demise.
B: It's not! It's- It's pining!
A: It's not pining, it's passed on!
A: This parrot is no more!
A: It has ceased to be!
A: It's expired and gone to meet its maker!
A: This is a late parrot!
A: It's a stiff!
A: Bereft of life!
I'll continue this later
pining for the fiords
Danilo Pochini what kind of talking is that?!
*fjords
PINING FOR THE FJORDS?!?!
"It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible!"
"It's a pun."
One of the greatest comedic sketches of all time.
" It's stone dead "
I saw this for the first time as a teenager when there were episodes available on our instant watch. The part where he starts yelling into the dead parrot's ear and banging the body on the counter nearly killed me. I laughed so hard my dad came downstairs to watch with me XD
Am I the only one who thinks Michael Palin was really handsome?
Audrey yes he so was
yeaaah he's hot as hell
Audrey no your not
I still can't decide between Michael Palin and Eric Idle...
Oh he was pretty cute, yes.
Its brilliant the way it all builds up to the last part.
This is an Ex parrot!
Brilliant.
this one and the argument room are the best
KDeker you do not remember commenting this
No it isn't!
“Oh Sir The Insult Simulator” used this for the pet shop scenario.
It's just came to my mind, that's this about Biden candidacy and post-debate media coverage... After the debates everybody saw that "This parrot is no more!"
I love that you can see John Cleese about to break with every "dead parrot" euphemism
Brilliant! When you think about it, this sketch is reminiscent of One Foot in the Grave, with Cleese as Victor Meldrew...
Ma brother loved Monty Python. This was 1 of his favourite. 1st sketch he showed me
This is the best rendition of this sketch. the versions from "And Now For Something Completely Different" and that was performed live are weaker in timing etc than this.
I've heard an audio-only live version of this sketch, and a prop failure sent the crowd into hysterics. I think the head flew off when John was banging the parrot on the bench. I can't remember the next comment :P
"It's not pining it's past done!" "This parrot is no more!" "This is an EX-PARROT!"
I think it's "passed on"
Comedy classic 😂
"Beautiful plumage, innit?"
So many ways of describing something as dead though lol XD
I'm from Notlob
My minecraft splash text gave me a quote ‘this parrot is no more, it has ceased to be’
Pollyyy! Bang! Bang! Bang! --The bird is dead ,boney!---If he puts 4,000 volts through that bird, it'll be barbecue bird!
-"I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it."
-"Look my lad, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now."
-"The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead."
-"Alright then. If it's restin', I'll wake it up. HELLO POLLY!!! I GOT A NICE CUTTLEFISH FOR YOU WHEN YOU WAKE UP POLLY PARROT!!!" ... "HELLO POLLY!!! POLLY!!! (whack whack whack) POLLY PARROT WAKE UP!!! (whack whack) POLLY!" (resigned throw, parrot thuds onto ground) "Now that's what I'd call a dead parrot."
-"That parrot is defenitely deceased."
-"... Look, matey. This parrot wouldnt 'foom' if I put 4000 volts through it. It's bleedin' demised."
-"It's not! It's-it's pining!"
-"It's not pining, it's passed on! This parrot is no MORE! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This, is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace; if you hadn't nailed it to the perch it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rolled down the curtain and joined the choir invisible! This! Is an ex! Parrot!"
-"... Well I better replace it then."
thats 18 different ways of expressing that that parrot is dead. blue in the mouth indeed.
"I've got a slug?"
Does it talk?
... not really
"Pinin' for the Fjords" such a funny line and such a funny sketch 🤣🤣🤣
Proof of great comedy: it stands the test of time. I laughed so hard the first time I saw this sketch and over thirty years later, here I am still laughing just as hard. Thanks for sharing! Those 101 "unlikers" must be a pretty sad (clueless) bunch in my opinion...
No matter how many times I see this sketch, it’s still hilarious.
183 people apparently don't know what real comedy is like.
203 people now. so sad, they don't know real comedy when they see it.
+Touka Kirishima Well, that's your opinion then. I'll respect that if you keep it to yourself.
you even dont know what real comedy is like. Watch office(US) or modern family. Maybe you can develop your sense in homour
It's lowbrow irony, done very well and taken to the extreme. It's ancient and universal comedy and humour, not just British, although obviously they were British comics. Monty Python were hilarious, brilliant traditional comics. It gets weird toward the end but people were tripping out in the seventies lol.
"I got on the train for Balton and found myself in Ipswitch.
"Sir, this is Balton."
*faces camera with shocked look on face* "The pet shop owner's brother was lying!"
LMFAO XD
Man I wish they still made comedy like this, these guys were geniuses.
-Hello,Miss!
-What do you mean,"Miss"?
-Sorry,I have a cold.
best lines ever''XD
This is the sketch of millennium x)
Wasn't this made in the past millennium?
@@jackyiv I was just thinking that.
... Beautiful plumage!... LMAO 🤣😂
They had a very unique sense of humor with this, not like regular British humor, a kind of world of their own.
People think this because they don't know the tradition of comedy. They are kind of hypnotised by the television because Monty Python were one of the first and greatest set of comics to appear on it. But this sort of comedy is ancient and universal. Apart from the trippy seventies affectation which isn't particularly funny.
Peoples do not have different senses of humour, generally speaking. Humour exists, it is based in tragic irony - laughter itself - it has fundamental laws. You either have good comics and people who appreciate them or not.
Can't say I agree. There are many types of sense of humor. From the disgusting sense of humor of young children from natural body functions, adult jokes which delight many men, physical humor from pain and injury, humor of when something is just completely 'out there', dry humor, puns, jokes, etc. Different things make different people laugh. I find dry humor to be my cup of tea, but I know many people who never find dry humor funny and prefer things that are more obviously jokes. There is very little I find funny about physical humor, but I have family who yuk it up when watching Britain's Funniest Home Videos. Many examples of different senses of humor exist. What works for one might not work for another.
You are right. I spoke too generally and strongly in my original comments. It is a matter of taste, context, nuance and degree etc whether laughter is effectively invoked in one case or another. But if you look into what makes all those types of humour funny per se, you will find it is basically the same innate human tendency and trait, only indefinitely differing manifestations. It is always a kind of sudden juxtaposition of expectation and surprise. If you study comedy and humour deeply, that is what you find. I suppose that is a platitude really.
Apparently humour comes increasingly with the self-reflective faculty. A few other animals seem to enjoy some humour but we revel in it and sing. There is a kind of uncontrollable delight whenever the surprising absurdity of our situation is immediately brought to our attention, though it effects different people in different ways. Human beings love to laugh and arguably it is our characteristic sound, like the neigh of a horse or something.
Thank you for making this available to all of us!
2:55 - 3:00 Why isn't this its own meme?
Why don't we teach people the difference between its and it's? It's = it is. Its = possessed by it.
In any case, why should it be? "You have to complain until your blue in the face", why should it be its own meme? You must be desperate for memes in your life if you wish that was its own meme. Can't you just be happy with the trillion riffs on "Keep Calm and [enter your cause here]"? If this phrase should be a meme, then please tell me what phrases SHOULDN'T be memes? Because there are a million billion similar kinds of phrases like that - should they all be their own memes too??
It was just a slight hiccup, damn. If it REALLY bothers you that much I changed it.
killit95 I doesn't bother me as much as all that, now I come to think about it.
Mr.Glitchyypants Israel did do 9/11, in collusion with the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Saudi Arabia and little help from Pakistan and Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Spain, France, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, China and so on.
Afghanistan didn't do 9/11. Lol. What a weirdo! Afghanistan?! HAhahahahahaahah

"Pining for the fjords" actually makes more sense when you remember it's a Norwegian parrot.
It's bleeding DEMISED!
"This Parrot wouldn't vroom or fly I gave it red bull, it's brown bread!!" That my skech
Made in the 1970s and STILL FUNNIER THAN 95% of what's on TV AND IN THE MOVIE'S TODAY!
Loved performing this for my high school drama class. Good days.
You lucky person! You individual possessed of good fortune! How I myself wish such a thing could have been possible! Alas, I never took a drama class, only English classes where sometimes we acted out the parts of Shakespeare's plays. I would like to act, I think. it seems fun.
