The Charge of the Ant Brigade. “Half an inch, half an inch! Just love that.
Monty Python is making life so hard for me right now. I'm studying all these poets, and I can't take a single one of them seriously any more!
Can we have an update, pls?
It is a great sketch but Keats, Shelly, Wordsworth and Tennyson are well worth reading. They were desperately out of fashion when this was made.
@@Jlipnicki Wordsworth should be a very selling brand for a poet. Seems so affordable?
@@beorlingo That was his real name.
@@Jlipnicki I will market the guy big time. Thanks for input!
Gilliam has a speaking role that's longer than one line!
Cos this is series 4 when John Cleese left to write Fawlty Towers so Gilliam got more material.
I think that Graham getting more and more drunk is what makes the funny sketch hilarious. "Lord Tennisball's son" then "Lord Tenniscourt", I laugh at that every time.
I don't know if I'm in a goofy mood today or what...but, this is hysterical!! Thanks for sharing.
The whole time I was wondering where Palin was. I should have known it was leading up to something good. xD
"we are not entertained" love michael palin...he just has to pull a face & he cracks me up... Did they ever do any Oscar Wilde sketches I wonder? I cannot remember at the moment
Sorry for necroposting, but they did make Oscar Wilde...
Monty Python is humour for the educated
Poor Keats, always beaten by the critics. :(
I don’t know why but this skit has had a profound effect on my life
Probably one of the best characters Chapman ever portrayed. XD
Until Mike showed up as queen Victoria I thought that was him in a facsimile nose-and-beard combo as lord tennisball’s son
One of several acting performances of Terry Gilliam on the tv show.
Also, I'm wondering if Graham is really getting drunk or is just acting.
He did have a serious drinking problem at this time.
Doesn't matter with Graham. Go see him try legitimate "serious acting" in that TV movie where he's a police lieutenant or something and see how that's even weirder than seeing him in a dress announcing poem readings for "I wandered lonely as a CRAB" and you'll see what I mean.
You have to take this sketch in the context of its episode. The theme of the ant started with a man (Eric Idle) going to the pet department of a large department store, to return the pet he bought there, and it was an ant. Hence the references to ants. All the poets were famous British poets, and Queen Victoria was half-German by blood, her husband, Prince Albert, was all German, hence the gag in which she lapses into a German accent.
Ants is verboten!
Thank you!

CRUNCH CRUNCH THERE GOES MY LEGS
SNAP SNAP MY THORAX TOO
Very true! Contemporaries claimed that his voice was in fact very high pitched and rather unpleasant.
@mufkatar by their canon I mean their most famous hallmark sketches like 'How not to be seen' and 'the Spanish Inquisition'
Yeah, Prince Albert should have gone back into the can.
Baby carriage.
oops, just saw the "wilde, shaw" clip in the sidebar.
Seven loonies soiled the carpet.
I don't think any American actors could duplicate the pythons tough verbally sketches today
It actually means 'preamble'. So it's short for either prose or just a short little poem.
'Baby carriage' is the noun form, so it does not fit grammatically well with the script.
I wonderd lonley as a crab, and Its all about ants, hillarius
18 people soiled the carpet.
@jeanpaulsinatra Oh, I don't know, I thought Keats' description of the anteater was perfectly passionate, don't you? ;)
Understandable as to why this is not in their canon
Victorian Poetry? Only Tennyson was a Victorian poet, the others were Romantics. xD
anatinoni Anteater!
There isn't a division between Victorian ( which is about *when* you were around) and romantic ( which is a literary movement ). They are two unconnected things. It's like saying ' only that novelist was English the others were vegetarian. Wordsworth, for example, lived when Victoria was on the throne and was therefore a Victorian.
anatinoni shut your noise you and get that suit on
I think that last bit of German translates as "It smells like a sh@thouse... And so anyway..."
Queen Victoria is an attractive looking woman. I blame her for the potato famine, and also for contributing to Prince Albert's death. If he had stayed in Germany he would still be alive. Too much sex. She would always insist on getting on top of him. There should be a government health warning about these women. (:o(
Es schmecke wie ein Scheißhaus...4:45 🙂👍
Victoria speaking in a German accent, lmao.
Good English accent by Gilliam. However, real-life alcoholic Chapman wasn't acting.
Brits, what does "pram" mean?
It's true that Queen Vicky was married to a hot German dude whose Englisch war sehr schlecht, und der Name ihrer königlichen Familie war wirklich deutsch--Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, she herself was NOT Cherman!
You spelt Michael wrong :)
rose
U STILL in a goofy mood ?
create a joke for me out of the following:
I give you the 1st line
Then we 'll take it from there
you up for it?
"Three women go in,to a Fishmongers....
It's still balls
was ist das schreckliche Gebong,
es schmecke wie ein Scheißhaus :D hahahahahaha
I agree. They're terrible things. They should also ban spiders.
Graham looks a little too good in that dress
Disappointing. I hoped it was the 'Oscar Wilde' sketch with 'your majesty is like a stream of piss.' This one's OK though.
God, I hate the music and stuff put on this.
John Stintzi Poor you. Life must be hard for you.
There's nothing like uploaders who act as though you owe them applause for merely screening a piece of material they had zero to do with creating is there.
Why did anyone ever find this amusing - either then or now? It is puerile, nothing more.
One needs a sense of humour. You wouldn't understand I'm afraid.
***** No. What is needed is the discernment to discriminate between what is genuinely humourous and inventive, and what is merely silly and childish. I'm afraid you seem to be lacking in that department.
Offshoreorganbuilder thank you for your useless opinion :)
***** Think nothing of it. The pleasure was all mine:)
Offshoreorganbuilder Clearly no humor. NO MORE PYTHON FOR YOU!
