its unbelievable how something can be so simple but so brilliant - compare to todays "comedy" this is a another dimension.monty pythos flying circus is the greatest thing ever shown on tv
That part where she says, "She was my best friend!" followed by "I didn't really like her that much" used to crack me up back in the 70s. I could just think about it and I would start laughing.
There's another version of the sketch when "the Minister" replies to the inquiry "Does he like his rattle"? by saying, "Ah yes, the rattle." A very funny bit!
"Oo, ee's got a tubby tum-tum! Oo, ee's got a tubby tum-tum!" A few times it looks as if John Cleese is just having a terrible time not bursting out laughing. There were a few times I caught him doing that--he almost busts up again in the courtroom sketch ("Why on earth didn't you say _why_ you wanted an adjournment?" "I couldn't think of an acceptable legal phrase, m'lud.")
What's so funny about it, is that this stuff does actually happen. The coddling, I mean, not the exploding lol. It's happening to my boyfriend at the moment.
The phonograph record version of this skit is different at the outset. The Minister for Overseas Development says,, "Hello Mother" when he walks in, then reacts with dread when he sees Mrs. Nickerbaiter (the name it always sounded like on the record), saying glumly, "Oh -- hello Mrs. Nickerbaiter" as he realizes he is once again about to be treated like an infant. He also hates her rituals more on the record then on this TV version.
❤ They never grow up❤ is this really 2024xx.....marvellous Seventies and us old enough to remember the Seventies times certainly don't change..... ..... Brilliant Homour....❤
For some reason I was convinced that this had originally ended with the remark, "Funny how you can know someone for years, and then all of a sudden they just blow up at you!" Heh, I guess that would be painting the lily a bit.
Terry Jones's high-pitched voice--he was the best python-as-a-woman.
I get the feeling that Michael Palin really loved torturing John Cleese in sketches like this!!
0:41 "Of course I can talk, I'm Minister for Overseas Development".
Through UDI, Rhodesia was no longer Commonwealth, I think. It must have sounded plausible at the time!

One of my favourite sketches. Palin must have loved doing this one!
"Ooh, has he got a tubby tum-tum, ooh has he got a tubby tum-tum!" LOL
Oh mother don't be so sentimental things explode everyday.
"She was my best friend." ... "I didn't really like her that much." When I was a kid, that was one of my favorite parts.
The way Michael Palin says, "He's a clever little boy" is just awesome.

It's funny, isn't it? How your best friend can just blow up like that?
'Cos accidents happen, don't they?

I also thought he said that!
That's in the audio version :)
Don't be so sentimental 😂 things explode 💥 everyday....
By golly, he's right.
"Oo, ee's got a tubby tum-tum! Oo, ee's got a tubby tum-tum!"

When my kids were babies they loved me tickling their tummies saying "ooo he's got a tubby-tum-tum!!!"
Mrs. Megabyte? I must have got it wrong
What's so funny about it, is that this stuff does actually happen. The coddling, I mean, not the exploding lol. It's happening to my boyfriend at the moment.
WAAAAH! Ive been looking for this one for years, and I found it! love this one! thank you for uploading it!
One of the best sketches EVER !
Aww, it really looks like throughout this whole sketch John Cleese is giggling and trying to maintain himself...
I'd always thought her name was Mrs. Knickerbaker.
If they re-release this you can be guaranteed it will be.
i love the way jones is so ragged here... lol... the way cleese towers over the two of them is so effective too. LOL... just can't stop laughing...
This is probably the first Monty Python sketch I ever saw.
Three people had their best friends explode.
Thanks, I do know that, but I decided to leave the name out considering, well, the name. Nudge, nudge.
Don't be so sentimental, things explode every day! XD
one of my all time faves! Comes to mind often too! Please set it to not run commercial in the beginning...

Oh 0 dislikes, the whole Morally Righteous part of youtube hasn't heard her name yet.
Oh I heard it. :)

Brilliant Homour....❤
Palin is brilliant here
"She blowed up good." "Yeah, she blowed up real good, Hooowee!"
Has a cup of tea, changes into a nappy, puts a dummy in his mouth and drives off to his meeting. Ministers sat around in prams, wailing.
Random is a fashionable, dismissave word meant to prevent thought. The Pythons were being Surreal - a concept radically inducing thought.
Do you like ur rattle? DO YOU LIKE UR RATTLE??? LMAO!!!
laughed so hard that I ate a bald bird with french soup by mistake
Of course 6 people speak, they're probably all Ministers for Overseas Development.
Imagine if most of the under 40's find out the full name of the lady that explodes. 😂
Do ya like yer rattle, eh?
Funny as hell damn they were entertaining
Classic clip! Although I think it would be funnier (for new viewers) if the joke wasn't revealed in the video title.
It’s the actual name of the sketch, so blame Monty Python themselves for calling it that.
Yes, I can talk, I'm the minister for overseas development.
Lol!
6 peoples mother's best friend exploded
In a few spots you can tell Cleese is trying very hard not to laugh...
For some reason I was convinced that this had originally ended with the remark, "Funny how you can know someone for years, and then all of a sudden they just blow up at you!" Heh, I guess that would be painting the lily a bit.
The Taliban's favorite quote, I'll bet.
oh this is adorable!!
Which Python is the ugliest old lady? I say John Cleese. Lol
@6our6vampire6hearts LOL! Love it!
What would a trade minister have to do with Rhodesia anyway?
Spelling correction 2024...I meant Humour or Humor...my state school education in the Seventies....❤❤❤ THE BEST....
......

Is anyone else here for Gentleman ChoGath?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mm Mm Mmmmm Me toooooo
I didn't catch the other woman's name: Mrs. Nickerbater?
What does it mean?
I mean, uh, that isn't the word *I* heard... but, I'd rather believe it's Knickerbaiter
@@twistysnacksI've always heard a word that sounds just like knicker, but if I told you exactly what it was, RUclips would delete me instantly....
