The genius of the argument sketch is that they're arguing about whether or not they are arguing.
indeed! 😂
No they weren't
Don't argue.@@VinPetrol420
@@VinPetrol420 Yes they were.
@@bluebear1985 Well i wont argue...
"An argument isn't just contradiction."
"Yes it is."
"No It Isn't!" 😂
Yes it is
@@whovianhistorybuffNo it isn't
@@1funkyflyguyit most certainly is.
The Fish Slapping Sketch is probably the perfect sketch-- it's so quick and so perfect.
I'm sorry, this is abuse!
No it isn’t!
...if you've ever gotten into an argument about Brexit you are ready for Monty Python's crimson permanent assurance 😂
The Fish slapping dance was filmed on Teddington Lock in West London. There’s a blue plaque there to commemorate it.
For reason's that I simply can't explain, "The Fish Slapping Dance" is my favorite MP bit, ever!
It’s really just wildly absurd, and unexpected the first time you watch it.
@@Pinnacle6562 no it isn't, it is precisely what you would expect to see in any Monty Python sketch
John Cleese finds the thought incredibly funny that sometime in the future some media history students have to analyse the deeper meaning of that sketch.
John Cleese loved anything silly. The fish-slapping dance makes no sense, which is why it’s funny.
@@Farlomousstop arguing 😂😂😂
I once taught a group of Japanese students with the "Argument Sketch"...and they loved it as much as you did!❤
No you didn't
YES HE DID!
No they didn't
The other week I had a little chuckle as I cycled by Teddington lock on the Thames where the fish slapping dance sketch was done.
"How Not To Be Seen" for some more Monty Python greatness.
The Fish-Slapping Dance is a masterpiece of absurdism. I love it!
So this duet of sketches, or dichotomy if you will, sums them up pretty well: Brilliant intellectual humor, bordering on the philosophical, mixed with the silliest absurdism you’ll ever see.
Hilarious. I remember this skit. They were brilliant together.
they were!
Monty Python played uncensored on Public broadcasting after 8pm weeknights in the early to mid 70's, and from age 10-12 I would be glued to the TV watching enthusiastically, and improving my vocabulary immensely. times have changed so drastically since those days, but Monty Python is timeless comedy with brilliant writing. I remember one skit where they held a marathon for small bladdered men. Basically, you had all of them jogging while constantly racing off to the trees and bushes to relieve themselves. Funny part of it was my parents didn't mind Monty Python, but they didn't allow me to watch The Three Stooges due to all the violence.
I first started watching Monty Python back in the seventies with my older brothers and sisters. I'm glad it's still being watched today
It's great to see someone so young, enjoying this timeless comedy.
We were still at school, when Monty Python came out & we'd never seen anything like it.
Genius stuff really & even more so, considering it was about 50 years ago.
If you haven't seen the films, I would strongly recommend Holy Grail & Life of Brian for starters. I think you'd love them....👍
Love your reaction to these masters of "WTF did I just watch?" comedy. 😀
Their delight in absolute absurdity both highbrow and lowbrow was just amazing. The Upper Class Twit of the Year competition is another brilliant sketch along with the Army Protection Racket sketch (and pretty much that whole episode where The Colonel appears. The episode I think was called Full Frontal Nudity and the entire thing is worth a watch and review).
Keep up the great work Megan Ruth!
thank you!! And thanks for the recommendations :)
@@MeganRuth You're very welcome! 🙂
Love the idea of a conciliatory argumenter. Like a surgeon who faints at the sight of blood. 😊
When the pythons were asked to make a list of their favourite sketches, the only one that they all included was the fish slapping dance.
😂 really? Interesting!
I believe one of them called it the stupidist thing they'd done and everyone loved it.
The argument is a very clever sketch about philosophy. 😂
These sketches really must be seen within context of the entire episode. Some few are truly stand-alone, but almost all build on what went before, usually through Terry Gilliam's animations.
@@slightlySuperioryes it is
There was a study sometime back which found the Fish Slapping Dance to be the most universally accessible joke the world over.
oh really? I can definitely see that!
Monty Python is so silly it's brilliant!
thank you Megan and do enjoy the rest of your Wednesday evening.
Thanks Jason! Same to you 😊
Sill in Swedish is a fat Herring, so "silly" is extra silly for us Swedes, in terms of the fish slapping dance.
Darling Meghan lovely reaction. Love this tyoe of humour, thanks ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
One of the things about the original show, as opposed to just skits from it like this, is that every skit flows into the next one. And every previous skit might intrude into the next one. For instance, in one show they had a skit about animals exploding...and in the final skit of the episode the characters are driving past a sign that says "To the Zoo," and in the distance you hear explosions.
I love learning and laughing at the same time
At last a GENUINE reaction video .
Job Interview Sketch is fabulous!
One of the funniest skits I've ever heard... many years ago now.
The Pythons were the most brilliantly, silly troupe EVER.
The Fish-slapping Dance , is one of my favorite bits of random oddness 🐟😆
About the Vietnam war😂
I love their humor back in the day and I still do.
These guys were geniuses of comedians I love watching them
as an adult i always gravitated towards more verbal humor. if its well written verbal humour tends to be more intellectual than visual humor. one thing that made python so endearing to me was how they perfectly combined visual with verbal humor which relied heavily on intellectual aspects and themes. they could be downright silly and juvenile and shift to social commentary in flash. just love these guys.
my favorite tv episode remains "mr neutron." its a rare single-subject episode performed in their last season AFTER cleese left to do "fawlty towers." even without cleese its python at their best. check it out. thanks for the video.
i absolutely love the fish slapping dance it's just so silly
No it isn't.
Parrot Sketch and the Lumberjack song are funny
I'll react to them next! :)
@@MeganRuth But not the Parrot Sketch from the movie though. Even though the lines are exactly the same it's not nearly as funny.
I'mmma lumberjack i'm ok..
Glad a cannuck liked it x
One of the Pythons (it might have been Cleese or Palin) said that the "Fish Slapping Dance" sums up the very essence of Monty Python. Can't argue with that!
The Ministry of Silly Walks, the Olympics and the Parrot sketch are a must among many others. When they did the Parrot sketch in their last ever show, Michael Palin forgot his lines and John Cleese had to tell him what to say. Sometime after the show, Michael Palin was interviewed and, dare I say, it's unique. Their chemistry was amazing.
The shot of you with lamppost and London bus is so beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
This is great
The Piranha Brothers and Eric the Half-Bee are two of my favourutes.
I’m a Canadian living in British Columbia 😊 I enjoy your videos
Hello fellow Canadian! Thank you! I'm glad :)
I've put people in an argument clinic. Mostly guys in their twenties. Who have no idea who Monty Python is. Now hopefully you'll see Who's on Firts with Abbott and Costello.
Genius. No it isn't. Yes it is.
(Pays the $5) You never just watched Monty Python just now
50 years ago!! Amazing,where have you all been!!🤔😅
my gosh I guess it has been 50 years! I hadn't even thought of that!
It's the funniest thing I have seen ever😅
Cleese and Palin were always my favourite combo in Monty Python.
Absolute genius. The weirdest thing ever is that I've noticed that people in general tend to either love or hate Monty Python. I say it's weird because I cannot imagine not appreciating these guys, and I really wonder what is going on in the mind of someone who doesn't "get" it.
Ministry of funny walks ! !
The argument is one of my favorites.
No it isn't
@@whovianhistorybuff Yes it is.
@@Nekotaku_TV no it isn't
@@whovianhistorybuff Now listen here, it is my opinion so there for it is only me who can know such a thing.
@@Nekotaku_TV no you can't
You used the word genius, which we all think was very well-chosen. 😁
Thank you! But it's very true 😊
One of my favorite skits is "Self defense against fresh fruit" (Season 1 Episode 4 version, not the movie remake)
we need a real life argument business as in the sketch. would solve a lot of problems
Agreed!
@@MeganRuth No it wouldn't!
@@jonathanaikman2285 😂 I see what you did there!
@@MeganRuth No you didn't! 😁 Sorry! I couldn't resist one more.
It already exists called the house of commons Westminster England
😅😅 still funny after all these years 😅😅
If not yet, should react to Monty Pytyhon and Michael Angelo's Last Supper.
You started this
Glad you told me you live in London England as opposed to any other spurious London
My family is from London Ontario so I always specify 😊
but the Complaint dept is the icing on the cake
Watch the film's, the meaning of life and life of Brian, to of my favourites, by monty python btw
Ha ha ha You want to watch, The Cheese Emporium. Yes YOU do!
A great sketch is where a man goes to the station to report a burglary, but the 2 constables and the inspector can't communicate normally. 1 constable can only hear low pitch words spoken slowly, the other constable can only hear high pitch voices, and the inspector can only hear words when spoken very fast. On top of that, radio calls are sung as a opera. Known as silly voices in a police station here on RUclips.
Well that was "something completely different" 😉
Sheer genius. And over 50 years ago!
It’s crazy how it was that long ago!
@@MeganRuth yes well that was in the days when you were ALLOWED to be funny. Incidentally, did you know that the Cornish word for RUTH is RED? (Just for info)
Monty Python's "Woody and Tinny Words" sketch is worth a look.
thanks for the suggestion!
Monty Python, back in the days where innoscent silly funnn had only onne agenda, to makeo you luagho...oh I miss those magical days. Very clever people, doing what they knew best, timeless entertainment for the whole family, I wonder if I put speil chack on...
You should do The Piranha Brothers. Its done mock news story investigative style about a couple of low rent London hoodlums. It's side splitting. Also the Upper Class Twit of the Year sketch.
You said you were from Canada. Did you see Canada's version of MP, The Kids In The Hall?
ah no I haven't seen it! It aired a bit before my time... funnily enough even though the Kids in the Hall is Canadian, my family was much more fond of Monty Python!
Hi Megan, have you watched 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail' yet? That film's hilarious!😄😄😄
Yes I have! Multiple times… way before I started RUclips! It’s hilarious! 😂
fish slap is my fav,,,,
I love if you reacted to the Storytime sketch, but I'm not sure they would allow it on RUclips.
Have we seen the SPAM sketch, or Scott of the Antarctic?
Megan, I still find Monty Python very funny, despite seeing it numerous times over the years. Try to watch the "Goodies" another British comedy series dating back to the 70's.
oh yes I agree! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Find "The Visitors Sketch".
The funny walk 🇮🇹🇧🇪🇪🇺❤️
Monty PyTHON
Possibly it might. (I just thought I’d add a bit of middle ground to this argument.)
Na, everyone does the dead parrot sketch, or the lumberjack song, try bicycle repairman, Mr Pither, or Being attacked by someone armed with a piece of fruit!
Fruit? What's wrong with a pointed stick?
This was great, but I really feel like the whole greatness of the TV show is that it randomly goes from sketch to sketch, linked by random, brilliant animation. And then jokes resurface in later sketches, so there's a sort of a throughline, instead of just a bunch of sketches, like any other sketch show. By isolating the sketch, you still do get the surrealness and funniness of a particular sketch, but you lose the over-arching structure. There is one reactor who has reacted to the whole TV series (Dawn Marie, great reactions), would you consider doing the full episodes? They're only a half hour, and you're a great reactor! Stuff like "Spanish Inquisition" is even better in the full episode, for instance.
If you have not seen it yet, the Job Interview sketch is very funny
Thanks for the suggestion!
It's genius is due as much to the actors, their lack of a carefully monitored political agenda, and embracing the absurd.
That wasn't the argument sketch.
It was!
@@MeganRuth No it wasn't.
If only there was a place in reality where we could go to argue about silly and unimportant things...
If only!
It already exists. It's called the house of commons!
Try not to be conciliatory, if you want to keep your job in the argument industry.
If you think Monty Python is good, try watching The Goodies..
For me, the bits in Monty P which are funny are really funny but some is a bit dated and silly rather than funny. The cartoon stuff always left me cold.
Life of Brian for me is hilarious, poking fun at "US style" holy joes and Bible thumpers.
The audio started out bad and became much worse.
The brilliance of Monty Python , love it
SO, sad we are so devoid of talent now... seems we lost our spirit
You didn't react to the argument sketch.
But I did!
@@MeganRuth No you didn't.
@@Poliss95 I did! 😂
@@MeganRuth I'm sorry. Did you pay for the 5 minute argument or the full half hour? (I use that line all the time). 😂
@@Poliss95 😂 I love it!
No it isnt ...
'What a stupid concept'......
Now stop that. Stop that. It's NOT amazing, it's very silly.
❤no it doesn't stand up, 50 years have passed and its not funny
