16:30 Neil Innes. In the spirit of Monty Python, you should watch "The Rutles: All You Need is Cash". A mockumentary about four lads from Liverpool. Neil Innes plays the John Lennon parody, Eric Idle plays the Paul McCartney parody as well as the host/narrator of the 'documentary'. Being a parody of a Beatles documentary, it includes songs, written brilliantly by Innes to the style of Beatles songs. Michael Palin is in it, too. Also, some early SNL people: John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Bill Murray and Gilda Radner.
@@ariachanson01 Althought I agree with Fawlty Towers in every way... You should watch Ripping Yarns. Stars Michael Palin in a comedy anthology. It's very silly, he's very silly I guarantee given your specific mention of Michael Palin that you would love The Ripping Yarns as much or possibly more than Fawlty Towers.
i was there! it's hard to believe it was over 40 years ago. it was my first time at the hollywood bowl too. it's not the best venue for sketch comedy, but python had been doing shows like this for years, so they knew what they were doing.
@@ariachanson01 I still think your sustained laughter to the "Are you kidding me? I'm blind" from Rogue One is the pinnacle of your reactions. I judge every reactor watching Rogue One by how they respond to that line. No one has touched yours yet.
As you enjoy Michael Palin, he later went on to present, hugely popular and very extensive Travel Documentaries Series for the BBC. The first one was: ‘Around The World In 80 Days’ followed by, ‘Pole to Pole’ travelling from the North Pole to the South Pole ( the full, 8 x 1 hr episodes are on RUclips). Many of his other Travel Series Episodes are also featured on RUclips as well, just search for: Michael Palin. Can I also say, it was a joy to see your positive reaction and obvious amusement to the ‘Hollywood Bowl’ video. Have a enjoyable Christmas and New Year! 🥳
Michael Palin and Terry Jones did a TV series called Ripping Yarns, which was a series of short stories on different themes. The first, and arguably the best, was the first, called Tomkinson's Schooldays, which has Michael Palin cast as a teenage boy sent to and old-fashioned austere boarding school. Michael Palin was also in a film called Jaberwocky, with Terry Jones. For something a little different, you could consider Michael Palin's travelogue "Around the World in 80 days", where he genuinely recreates the Jules Verne route against the 80 days deadline. Unlike the clearly staged travelogues you get now, he (plus a cameraman and sound recordist) made the trip alone, and has genuine experiences, all narrated with charm by Palin himself. I'd also recommed "The Rutles" - a spoof of The Beatles made by Eric Idle and Neil Innes (who did the songs in this, and was also "Brave Sir Robin" (Eric's) lead minstrel in Holy Grail.
The Hollywood Bowl was the last live show the Pythons did while Graham Chapman was still alive and for them, these were some of his best performances. They always said that Graham used to be a nightmare on their live tours because of his alcoholism, but by this point, he had given up drinking completely, so he was just on top form. Carol Cleveland has said that for her, these were the happiest times she had with the Pythons. The Horrid Family sketch at the end was always the most difficult sketch to get through because, as you could see, they could never get through it without someone cracking up.
"Hegel is arguing that reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically, it exists only in the imagination and Marx is claiming it was offside" ... that's why this is my favourite Monty Python sketch :D
Monty Python is a comfort food for all its fans, there's nothing like dropping a MP quote in a conversation and having another fan pick it up. I also seem to reference a lot at work - the guy falling off his bicycle all episode, the intelligence of penguins sketch, jumping over the English Channel.
'ALBATROSS!' 'ALBATROSS" 'Two choc ices, please' 'I don't have any choc ices, i've just got this bleedin' Albatross' '...' 'What flavour is it ?'' I love this sketch. ''.... you're not even a proper woman.' Gets me every time
I have friends who were in the audience for this show. I have never been more envious of anyone. But I was lucky enough to see Graham Chapman perform live in New York some years later. He did the “man wrestling himself” bit and it was spectacular.
I am the same exact way: I love all the Pythons almost equally....but Michael Palin is my favorite. I also love his writing partner, Terry Jones (who also directed the movies). But, as soon as I say that I almost feel guilty because I love the other guys so much! / That was so hilarious. If you ever miss Python, just watch their TV show, that's the bedrock of their career. On or off the channel! You are a GREAT Python reactor!
The singer/piano player is Neil Innes. You can see him in other Python movies and especially in Eric Idles' ''The Rutles'' where he plays ''John Lennon.'' You have to listen to the Beatles-like music he composed for that movie, it is incredible.
Since you have already reacted to "A Fish called Wanda", maybe you would want to see Michael Palin in "The Death of Stalin" ; which is an amazing comedy. 😊
I haven’t watched this for some years. I laughed along with you, my friend. Michael Palin is universally loved. He’s a kind, intelligent and super-lovable man. The humour is silly but also very smart. I wouldn’t know even half of the philosophers if it wasn’t for The Philosophers Song. I had a great time watching this. Thanks!
This was my introduction to Monty Python, back when HBO was showing it in the early 80s. Glad to see it's just as funny as it was when I was 14. Thanks for sharing :)
A fun way to learn Python. A a kid in 70s and college student in the 80s Python was an integral part of my upbringing. They were on PBS every week with other great British comedies. Then I discovered the movies in college. Maybe that's why I have a dark sense of humor. You might want to check out John Cleeses TV show Fawlty Towers. All you need is one episode just to get hooked. Any episode will work. Another Cleese movie to check out is Clockwise, very funny
Michael is my favourite too. He's the best actor of the group IMO. He did a number of travel shows that you might be interested in. The first one was him recreating the 80-day journey around the world from Jules Verne's classic novel.
All of the other Pythoners love Michael, enjoyed working with him in the sketches, and never had any issues with him. They had some issues with each other though. Nothing too crazy that they couldn't get their act together and turn out some of the best comedy ever. Michael reminds me of my first childhood best friend, Roger. Roger had that same attractive and kind look about him. Roger was the nicest kid in the neighborhood. Everybody liked Roger.
Love watching you get joy from the silliness that I’ve enjoyed for years. Ripping Yarns should be your next Michael Palin binge, then all his travel documentaries, then the Terry Gilliam films. Well done beautiful person.
Ahhhhh, too funny! I enjoyed watching with you. And take it from someone else with a bad memory .... pen and paper as soon as you think of something that you want to remember later.
Yayh, you managed to upload it without any problems. This is the first reaction doing the whole show that i have seen and that being you makes it even more awesome because you seem to get the MP vibe. Btw, Neil Innes (the piano and banjo- guy) did a Beatles parody together with Eric Idle called the Rutles. Worth a peek ;)
The Philosophers football match is doubly funny nowadays for any football fan because it is Socrates who scores the goal for the Greeks. The sketch was first shown on TV in 1972. So it was impossible that the Pythons could know that there was an up and coming player at Botafogo-SP named Socrates who would eventually play for Brazil in two World Cups.
This was great. It was like a rock concert in some ways, with fans joining in and people shouting out the lines before the cast needed to say them! And it’s such a joy to have those two glimpses of the late, great Neil Innes doing what he did best. Even John Cleese, who professes to dislike any music other than classical music and The Beatles, said he’d always stand in the wings and watch Neil sing How Sweet To Be An Idiot when they were on tour. I miss Neil.
Dear Aria, your face was a picture at the start with the "Sit on my face" song. Its great to see you really laughing at these legends. Dont know if youve seen it but The Argument Sketch from their sketch show is better than here, i think. Best wishes to you.
You might enjoy some of the skits from the secret policeman's ball, which include some of the pythons as well as peter cook and rowan atkinson. They were all great on stage.
Eric Idle did a musical adaptation of "The Life of Brian" at Carnegie Hall in 2014 called "Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)." I bought the DVD because I'll buy anything Monty Python. No spoilers, other than to say it was money well spent. I don't see the video online, but you can still find the DVD for sale.
"Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition". Historically incorrect though. They would usually send a letter well in advance, telling their intended victim that they would come.
If you have indeed developed an appreciation for Michael Palin, you might want to check out two comedies he made in the '80s: "The Missionary," from 1981, and "A Private Function" from 1984. Good stuff.
I saw this live at the Hollywood Bowl when I lived in L.A. It was amazing. Ok fine, I saw this, but it was recorded, not live. And I've been to the Hollywood Bowl, but it was for some mediocre classical concert. So there.
You probably know about the connections between Monty Python and The Beatles (especially George Harrison who gave a lot of money for "The Life of Brian"), so please watch The Rutles movie "All you need is cash". Then there is also "Jabberwocky" and "Yellowbeard", all with one or some of the Pythons involved.
Compared to the tighter BBC-friendly TV sketches, unfortunately Python Live shows tended to pander to their fan audience and the freedom of making the sketches raunchier without being funnier: In the original.Crunchy Frog TV sketch, John Cleese is the policeman, Graham Chapman is “Sptd. Parrot”, and listening to what he just ate sends him comically running out of the room with “Excuse me a moment: 🤢”
Given that you can view the neutered BBC ones at any point, and we all know them word for word, I delight in the improvisation and slight tweaks of the live sketches.
Find and watch Eric Idle singing his Festive Season Anthem "F**k Xmas". Please, Aria...PPPLLLLEEEEEASE. 🙂🙂🙂You may not be able to react to it on RUclips, but....... *weg*
"Twelve disciples and one Christ!"
"One?!"
The delivery on that just sends me every time.

I think the "Ww think it waa the trousers" somewhat refers to the Rutles.
"Michael Palin is so nice, he should be ashamed of himself", said Eric Idle of his Python colleague. 😊
Aria and Minnie laughing through Christmas! Aria loves Michael, Minnie loves Eric!
Your affinity for the absurd is refreshing. I'm enjoying this journey! Two words...FAWLTY TOWERS.
Two words... VERY SOON :D
Or Farty Towels
Or Fatty Owls.

The German vs Greek philosophers always cracks me up. Great reaction Aria.
That was really hilarious.

It's really nice that you do the various Monty Python shows, beyond the standard movies. (One of my favorite, early, skits is called CONFUSE A CAT.)
I like the way you kept heckling the audience for not laughing as much as you thought they should.
Michael Palin has claimed another heart. Will no-one stop this madman?!
NEVER!
Legendary live show, so damn good.
💯💯💯
"Hegel is arguing that reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically, it exists only in the imagination and Marx is claiming it was offside" ... that's why this is my favourite Monty Python sketch :D
I agree with you. His personal vibe is probably the best out of the group. I think even within the group he's the glue.

I just love watching movies where you laugh and laugh. It is heartwarming.

Love watching you enjoy Monty Python, always makes me smile, so does you're reactions
the first monty python show i saw. totally blown away by the performance
Wonderful reaction Aria. Say no more, say no more. I think you would love Flying Circus. There are so many bits that you would thoroughly enjoy.
I have friends who were in the audience for this show. I have never been more envious of anyone. But I was lucky enough to see Graham Chapman perform live in New York some years later. He did the “man wrestling himself” bit and it was spectacular.

My high school friends and I bought a box for MP live at the Hollywood Bowl. One of my all time favorite shows ever.
Eric Idle didn't memorize that long monologue, he IMPROVISED THE WHOLE THING as he ran through the audience.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed this outing of the Monty Python group. It's one of my favourites. I know you'll come back to it over and over again.
Great reaction, I havent seen this in years, a real gem, ty for sharing Aria!
The singer/piano player is Neil Innes. You can see him in other Python movies and especially in Eric Idles' ''The Rutles'' where he plays ''John Lennon.'' You have to listen to the Beatles-like music he composed for that movie, it is incredible.
An attractive young woman creasing up with laughter at MP. Sometimes life isn't so bad.
Word!
it's always nice to hear you laugh :) thanks for brightening up the holidays Aria
This is what Monty Python was best at: episodic segments of ten minutes or less, as was the structure of their BBC TV show.
Had this on 8 track tape back when it came out and wore it out listening to it in the car. Such fun!
I pick favorites. You're it !!!
❤️❤️❤️

It's so great to see a new generation discovering the brilliance of Monty Python. Great reaction, young lady.
Imagine being ten and discovering them in the 70s.
@allenruss2976 I was 11. They shaped my worldview.

“We think it was the trousers” is a reference to the next thing you should watch: Eric Idle’s genius Beatles parody “The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash”
In the 80s KMET, 94.7 on your FM dial, was a rock station in LA. They adopted "Sit on my face" as their 'fight song', and played it regularly.
Aria and Python! 🎶 "These are a few (well, 2) of my favorite things!' 🎶

Funny thing, being able to completely recite the tourist sketch in 1979 was actually a good way to pick up girls.
You are first american to pronounce python correctly. Congratulations!!!
Laugh as much as you want hon . . . especially at these masters of comedy 👍
The sketch with recalling how bad it was is a standard form. Create your own joke! It could be a party game.

Yeah, it would have been nice to see this live!
But I'm grateful it was recorded for posterity, for later generations to enjoy.
You might love Michael Palin - Ripping Yarns
a series of short stories just brilliant!
Michael palin did 6 ripping yarns for the bbc in the 1970s ..they were very funny
Yes I watched it. Didn't he write it with Terry Jones?
@@Stewart-m7i yep ..all 6 are on youtube

For Palin and Cleese you need to see A Fish Called Wanda!
We understand exactly what you mean about craving for some MP in your life from time to time
