When they did this live on stage many years later, Cleese and Palin lost their places in the script- either for real or not. After a suitable pregnant pause, they turned to the audience and asked if they could give a prompt for the next line. The entire crowd shouted it out.
The MP guys never lost their places ...the "suitable pregnant pause" was part of their live shows and they would get the audience to interact. More evidence of the genius in the MP cast members. All of them were college educated and preferred to be silly instead of the norm. I would say ...it really paid off ;)
@@b2bw1955 I don't remember which interview it was but I'm sure Cleese said that due to Palin's ad libs during this sketch at the Live at the Hollywood Bowl concert he did lose his place and had to ask the audience for help.
There was also a live performance at the 1989 Secret Policeman's Ball where Cleese pointed out the parrot was dead and Palin decided to alter the sketch so after he looked at it he said "So it is, there's your money back and a couple of holiday vouchers" And Cleese was completely wrong footed so as her left the stage he ad-libbed "Well you can't say Thatcher hasn't changed some things"
When their co star Graham had died, John Cleese gave a eulogy that included lines from this skit. "Graham has left us now,....passed on....kicked the bucket....competely demised.........."
I love that sketch Amanda. It actually leads on to " The Lumberjack Song" as the shopkeeper leaves the counter and emerges in a forested area, where his girl awaits and a choir of Mounties are waiting. Aside from chuckling at the insanity of it all, I chuckled more at your reaction. Full snort mode and sheer feminine delight. All in all a lovely and heart warming experience for this viewer. You should come on prescription lady. You're a rainbow in a grey world. : - )
@@Isleofskye That's only in the film. In the original television show the previous sketch to that of The Lumberjack Song, was The Barber Sketch with Michael Palin playing a psychotic barber who delights in killing the customers and can't bear to cut hair. "I didn't want to be a barber, I wanted to be... a lumberjack." I guess the blood and the nature of the sketch was deemed not too nice for a cinematic release.
@@raphaelperry8159 LMAO....when she snorts she reminds me of my sadly passed away wife and I just cant help myself from cracking up laughing and a little nostalga. She is just great to watch and enjoy her reactions.
When I was in sixth form many many years ago, my friends and I knew most of the Monty Python sketches and films off by heart. We used to confuse our teachers by sitting around during breaks and conversing in Monty Python Lines. Still laugh very hard when I see this one
Some decades later, when one party did extremely poorly in a British election, one newspaper had the headline "It's a Dead Party," with a picture of a dead parrot.
This sketch was first performed in 1969! Back then it passed me by. In later years I appreciated the humour. The fact that this sketch can still generate such a positive reaction from you in this day and age is tantamount to its enduring popularity. However, I did notice that there were more than a couple of lines within that sketch, which were typically British, you did not appear to react to. Aficionados in the history of British humour will be talking about this sketch long after I’m gone. (Still chuckling after the Sean Lock ‘Carrot in the box sketch’ which was new to me - thank you. Don’t forget though, Billy Connolly, ‘Dwarf on a bus’)
Cleese and Chapman wrote together a lot. Graham Chapman came up with "Norwegian Blue." And he might also have come up with the line, "He's pining for the fjords."
The Monty Python Crew . Certifiable Lunatics , the Lot . And some of the Cleverest Comedy of all time , God Bless them . Cheers from Australia , Amanda .
As far as I remember what lead to this sketch was that they had been flipping through a thesaurus and ended up checking all the alternative terms and phrases for "it's dead", and then decided: we have to create a sketch using as many of these as possible. (not sure anymore where I read it, but I think it might have been in Doulas Adam's autobiographic memories in "The Salmon of Doubt")
Don't know about that. I do know the pet store guy was based on a car mechanic one of the Pythons knew, who'd always come up with ridiculous excuses why his work was shoddy.
I grew up watching Monty Python on late night TV in the 70s ( USA). Some very funny, insane maybe comics. The list of sketches that I love is as endless as the laughs I got from them. The hide and seek, the arguments, the lumberjack song, so many little cracks in between and during you have to pay attention not to miss any.
Great you enjoy UK humour. We often say that our humour wouldn't work in America but Ricky Gervais has proved that wrong with his tour there. As you've probably noticed, the Brits can take a joke against themselves but (to me) the Americans would think that disrespectful and be offended. Keep up the good work.
The best variation of this sketch, bar none, was performed... ...at the public memorial service after the passing of Graham Chapman, another member of the Python troupe. It was incorporated into the eulogy given by John Cleese during the service. . Yes, the video is on YT.
MONTY PYTHONS were the cement beneath our wounded feet after just walked through puberty - and your own brain didn't know any second of your life where you are/were! But the humour was stable! And what they were the "institutions" to stabilize and confirm this? IN YOUR NEXT CINEMA!!! Monty Pythons - you were my Life-Saviour - by HUMOR!!!
Once when they performed this sketch on stage Michael Palin completely killed Cleese by changing the dialogue to this: Palin: "I've got a slug". Cleese: "Does it talk?". Palin: "It was muttering abit this morning". So many funny silly things in this sketch. For some reason i found it the most funny that the parrot apparently is norwegian.
At Graham Chapman's (coauthor) funeral, John Cleese reprised the sketch and used all the euphemisms for dead used in the sketch when he delivered the eulogy
There are some videos of live Monty Python sketches, including some where the audience is saying the next line before it's said on stage and there's a alternate ending of the dead parrot sketch.
I especially loved this reaction video because I expected a deep body laugh combined with a snort. You did not disappoint. Monty Python and all the comics are legendary. I was anticipating the lumberjack sing. LoL Great video, thanks for the morning lajugh. Rob Than
Years ago I had a tape of this sketch produced for a adult audience. Where as Michael P goes into the lumberjack song, on the tape John Cleese is offered a halibut with feathers and a tail stapled on. If you laughed out loud at the TV version, you would fall of your chair at the tape! Great vid Amanda - Thanks.
You've got to watch the Lumberjack song. Have you watched any of there live show recorded in London in 2014. It's called "one down five to go" in reference to the death of Graham Chapman.
Michael Palin's shop owner character was based on a dodgy used-car salesman that he bought cars off. The cars always broke down within a few days - followed by the most unbelievable excuses when the cars were returned. Graham Chapman said the sketch should be 'madder' and instead of a car it should be about a parrot.
Amanda, I love when you do reactions to Monty Python. :) Some of my favorite Python sketches are 'The Four Yorkshiremen', The Philosophers Football Match', 'The Upper-Class Twit of the Year' and of course 'The Ministry Of Silly Walks'.
The Four Yorkshireman sketch was not a Python sketch, although they did perform slightly different versions of it in their live shows. It was written by Tim Brooke-Taylor, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Marty Feldman and first performed in their TV series 'At Last the 1948 Show'.
Unfortunately sketches such as this will never be written today, comedy has got too PC. Some of the Benny Hill sketches and the TV series 'Till Death Us Do Part' will never be shown on TV again.
For me, Monthy Python is a part of my life and this sketch is absolutely brilliant. In this case, please do NOT copy it, it doesn't get any better than this.
Recommendation: the "Mr. Creosote" segment from the film "Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life" Best quote: "But monsieur.... it's just a wafer thin mint!"
This is perhaps the single best sketch in the history of Comedy, if not the best - then easily top 3. And yet, it's so simple - it starts with a ridiculous premise and it gets funnier from there.
Another classic where John Cleese plays the put out customer is "The Cheese Shop" , One where he is the clerk yet still the long suffering victim is "The Book Shop" said to be his favorite.
I used to watch Monty Python's' Flying Circus way back in the early/mid 70's. My mother hated me watching it but I loved it. I think it was on BBC2 at 8pm on a Saturday. We only had BBC1 and BBC2 back then. ITV came later. Whatever was on at the Weekend we used to play out the sketches all the following week! Some of the other kids thought we were stark staring mad! (I think we were, especially when we all used to do the "Silly Walks"!). I was going to school in Frinton at the time and live in Thorpe-le-Soken. It was called Gunfleet School back then, now Tendring Technical. Fun days! "Can it be that it was all so simple then Or has time rewritten every line And if we had the chance to do it all again Tell me Would we Could we".......
Amanda, you should watch the live version where John Cleese (customer) goes high pitch saying "fields" and makes Palin (shopkeeper) laugh. React to that. I'm sure you'll find it funnier 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Amanda, it's heartwarming to see your natural reaction where you nearly disappear snorting and cackling - it always seems to be funnier than the sketch. I'm glad you watch these "live" as if you saw them earlier you'd probably be more blase. How about watching one where you try not to laugh ? ( though you might explode ! )
Of course everybody misses the most obvious joke. They don't have parrots in Norway. However, it's been discovered by fossil records that parrots actually originated in the northern hemisphere and migrated south about 55 million years ago. So the Norwegian blue truly is a very ex-parrot and probably stopped pining for the fjords quite some time ago. ✌️♥️🇬🇧
I will say, the version you watched is from their move "And Now For Something Completely Different", in which they recreated their most popular sketches. I personally think the original version from the Flying Circus show itself is much funnier, because John Cleese performs it with a lot more rage 😂
Mel and Smith Talking Heads. If you can't share it watch it yourself. There are sites where you can watch hours of it and it's never enough. Luv yer. ❤
Hey, Amanda! Welcome back to MPFC. I haven't seen you since Biggus Dickus (which i loved your reaction to). Long time. I believe i requested you'd react to MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. That request still stands. Nice seeing you again -
You should see the Secret Policeman's Ball version of that sketch. John Cleese does the single best job of parrot bashing I have ever seen in my life. The acting is also way more animated, which just increases the funny factor.
The lumberjack song is amazing. The "he's not the messiah" crowd scene outside Brian's window is genius. The insulting frenchman scene in holy grail is hilarious. Love monty python, and as has been noted here they finished the year before I was born... Still funny!
@@russs7574 there are too many good parts. The stoning. What have the Romans ever done for us, the coliseum, the Latin correcting, the ide of the mountain. All classics. 😂 That messiah scene though. The ironic genius of "you're all individual" crowd:"yes, we're all individual" single person:"I'm not".

(Just like his dear mama).

"Oh, ay'm sorry. Ay ave a cold."

We used to act this sketch out on the school bus
Lol
Michael and John work so well together. Their skits are always funny. ALWAYS!!!!! Take care lady....

I think you would LOVE the series they did 1-3 imo are the funniest
Probably one of my favourite Python scenes of all time lol
It was on PBS so it was educational when you had to tune the ears. Some of us listened and learned.

Always a good one! A little trivia for you. Clease and Palin revised this sketch, and performed it at Terry Giliam's funeral.
You should watch Prime Minister Thatcher using this skit in a speech to the conservatives
Recommendations? Monty Python's Flying Circus, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life...
👍🏻👍🏻
I love this sketch and The Hungarian Phrasebook sketch.

Of course this sketch leads to the classic Lumberjack Song which is also a must see.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I think one of the best Monty Python sketches is "The Ministry Of Silly Walks"
Now that you've seen the parrot sketch - you have to watch Python live at the Hollywood Bowl.
NOOO, you HAVE to immediately follow with the lumberjack song! They go together.
Yorkshire Men Sketch is also excellent
The Knights of the Round Table song from their Holy Grail film used to be my ringtone 😃

0:41 "Oh I'm sorry I have a cold"
Like that explains it 💀
Classic British comedy at its best
That sketch is up there with the 'Two Ronnies' Four Candles/Fork Handles one.
Unfortunately sketches such as this will never be written today, comedy has got too PC. Some of the Benny Hill sketches and the TV series 'Till Death Us Do Part' will never be shown on TV again.
"...Hello Miss..." We still greet people with that one today.

You need to watch a full programme of Monty Python where all the sketches link together. Eg Blackmail, naughty bits etc etc.
Monty python is a classic nothing can compete with Monty python amanda has tears in her eyes love it 😂😂😂😂
Amanda, another great reaction, BUT again you forgot the tissues!🤣 The snort laugh is back!🤣🤣
Haha I know it 🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting for I'm a lumberjack ...lol 😂
Should have done a double amanda with the lumberjack song great classic british comedy 👍🏻
Obviously, the sketch is in response to the red tape often involved in getting satisfaction especially when you're returning something, priceless.

Hahah I don’t think I could do it 🤣
l have not seen this one for a long time .. it was a great chip to watch and it was so funny as well
I didn't know that lumberjacks leap from tree to tree. Perhaps that is what should be called "pining."
I was raised with Monty Python's Flying Circus, plus movies & spinoffs like Faulty Towers. This is one of the great skits.
Now listen to the sketch on tha album 'Live at Drury Lane'.
There is/was a bar on Hope Street in Liverpool called the Norwegian Blue.
The two Ronnie's and the Duck AMANDA RAE its really funny
