It's always such a delight watching Monty Python alongside your reactions. So funny to see how these skits still work - for those who are intelligent enough to embrace absurdity. Timeless. Have a great weekend and all the best!
@@michaeljlyons5565 Or Terry Gilliam's first solo film Jabberwocky (1977) which feature Michael Palin and Terry Jones and is similar in style to Monty Python and the Holy Grail (same cinematographer and same set designer). Another choice is Graham Chapman's Yellowbeard (1983) which features John Cleese and Eric Idle.
Their farewell concert, too: "Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five to Go." It doesn't have Graham, of course, but it *is* twice as long as Hollywood Bowl, and also includes songs from their movies.
I think the funniest part of this, was watching you laugh and have fun! Lol. I've been watching them since the early 70's, and have always loved the show.
I'm laughing so hard with you, Aria. ♥ The first season of Python was seen by a lot of people as it was shown far too late in the evening for most to stay awake. Still, it gathered enough attention and became a hit before the first season ended. And Now For Something was, as you noticed, a collection of the group's favourite sketches brought to the big screen and fleshed out a little more. It was a way to expose the show to a wider audience and still maintain a fairly tight budget. It also gave the Python members a learning time for the differences between television and movies. The stage was set for one of the funniest movies of all time with MP and the Holy Grail.
It is the inability to predict what's coming next that appeals to us Python Fans. But then we love knowing what's copming next, when we re-watch the shows. What geniuses!
Eric Idle, of Monty Python, teamed up with musician Neil Innes to create a Beatles-spoof band called THE RUTLES, which also featured some of the original cast of SNL like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. It was created for NBC TV in 1978, and is hilarious... especially the amazing spoof on the Beatles songs themselves, like one called CHEESE AND ONIONS. It's well worth watching. "THE RUTLES are a living legend. A living legend that will live on long after other living legends have died."
The Beatles all loved the Ruttles, even Yoko (considering how she’s portrayed!) one day Ringo & Paul McCartney went to see Eric Idle & Neil Innes & sung them Ruttles songs!
This "movie" is actually a "best of" their skits from their TV show. A friend enlightened me to their TV show (then on PBS) because there was females (sometimes) without clothing.
No it's not, it's a bad cover version of their best skits from their TV show. This is like when Little Richard and Chuck Berry re-recorded all their classic hits in the 60s and 70s. Totally lame.
Aria, just a random fact: The theme music is "The Liberty Bell" (1893)- a military march by American composer/conductor John Philip Sousa. It was chosen, basically because it was considered "public domain" - meaning (according to US and European copyright law 70 years had passed since it was written/last copyright renewed and the composer was deceased.) they could use it for free without paying royalties. 😀
i was first introduced to monty python through their record albums. as with this movie, most of the sketches on the albums were from the tv show (recorded in stereo in a studio setting),but there are some that were exclusive to the records. they can be found on you tube. some of the album titles are "another monty python record", "monty python's previous record","matching tie and handkerchief" and "monty python's contractual obligation". there's also a great live album called "monty python live at drury lane". the first movie soundtrack was called "the album of the soundtrack of the trailer of the film of monty python and the holy grail" which has clips from the movie plus original comedy bits linking the clips together. all fun listening.
Mission accomplished, you got several good laughs from this film and it was lovely. Can't help but laugh along with you. Their animations always level up the comedy.
Back in the 70s, I saw Monty Python, live, in NYC. They did a bunch of their most popular skits from the TV shows. At one point, the curtain went up and John Cleese was standing there holding a parrot cage and the audience went wild! He looked startled and ran off the stage and they did a different skit. This was a running gag with Cleese teasing the parrot skit a few times and running off, before they finally did it!
Hi Aria, what a nice surprise seeing this appear. Its great seeing you laugh. Im sure you get hundreds of requests but im another who would dearly love to see you react to Fawlty Towers. As for Monty Python im sure you will love The Argument sketch and The Fish Slapping Dance if you haven'talready seen them. Best wishes to you 👍
Hi, Aria! I'm glad to see that you're reacting to this film. This is one that gets overlooked in favor of Monty Python's more well known films like "The Holy Grail" or "Life Of Brian". Another film from the Python troupe you might like is "Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl". As the name suggests, it's the whole cast performing their best skits before a live audience, and it definitely changes the dynamic of the humor a little bit. A lot of the skits they do are some of the ones you're seeing here, but it's still definitely worth your time to give it a look. Love your channel, Aria, keep up the great work! 🙂
If you've run out of movies, there's always the movies some of the cast did together after Python. You already saw Wanda, but you still have Erik the Viking & Yellowbeard. The latter has Madeline Kahn & Marty Feldman from the Mel Brooks movies and also Cheech & Chong.
Also check out The Secret Policeman's Ball and The Secret Policeman's Other Ball. Python doing skits on stage along w/ some special guests, and some fantastic live music. They were benefit events.
With the exception of the 'World's Funniest Joke' and 'Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit' sketches, which were both shortened quite a bit for this movie, all the other sketches are basically the same length here as their TV series counterparts. As far as I know, you and Dawn Marie are now the only people on YT who have reacted to this film (and she's the only one who's reacted to Flying Circus).
Long time watcher of your reactions, though I don’t think I’ve commented too frequently on your videos. For all the previous videos of yours I’ve watched but said nothing I make amends by telling you that they were all great ans fantastic, but it’s great to see you getting heavy into Monty Python. I would love you see do reactions for the original Flying Circus tv show. It’s such a rarity to see that on RUclips, everybody does Grail and Bryan, but the sketches are too daunting. However this is a great way to get a primer on them, distilled madness from some of their greatest hits into a remade slightly older form than when they were when they were young lads doing the show in the 60s. They’ve also put out comedy records which are a great laugh, as well as various books, stage shows. One of the best versions of the dead parrot sketch is also kind of one of the saddest things John Cleese ever did. You can find it on RUclips, as he did a rendition of the dead parrot sketch for his eulogy of Graham Chapman when he died in 1989… it’s so beautiful and hilarious and bittersweet. It’s the sort of memorial/funeral I’d want I think.
*I meant to say, that I think the sheer amount of sketches is too daunting for some on RUclips, there are a fair number of episodes and that might take a while for a RUclipsr to do.
Aria - There's also a filmed version of the oratorio adaptation of Life of Brian that Eric Idle did in 2009, "Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)" if you wanted more craziness. :D
The face of the animator, Terry Gilliam, is used for the skit about the dancing teeth. Thought you might like to know that. Another collection of skits is found in the "movie" Monty Python live at the Hollywood Bowl.
I just watched your reaction to "The Princess Bride' and enjoyed it thoroughly. You started off just staring at the screen with a blank face and about half-way through you were giggling a little at the humor. By the end of the movie you were laughing out loud. There is another fairy tale movie that is similar because it has a young boy reading a book that he was told not to read because it wasn't "safe". He read it anyway and he starts having trouble separating fiction from reality as the story unfolds. The name is "The Never Ending Story".
I heard you mention “A fish called Wanda”. If you liked that, and I know you like funny movies, there is another called “Fierce Creatures” and it has the exact same cast from A Fish called Wanda but a completely different and unrelated story. That is a good one to do a reaction to if you have not seen it.
I hope sometime you complete the set and watch the movie they made of them live on stage. It is entitled Monty Python Live bat the Hollywood Bowl and the last two sketches they do are my favourite Python sketches.
This was so funny I had to take my rescue inhaler. Monty Python will always be the best of the best. John Cleese is by far a true legendary Icon just as well as his fellow group. Check out Fawlty Towers! It is worth it.
Funny thing was back then when this movie came on. I thought it was like another kubrick movie something like CO due to the pacing of the timing of a scene from that marriage counseling sketch, then when the giant weight drop down then I knew it's a comedy movie. Then the next sketch and my brain open up and said oh it's Monty Python. A classic.
Aria, here are more Python-esque type films to consider - from some of the same Monty Python cast members: Brazil: Director's Cut The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Time Bandits Nuns on the Run The Fisher King 12 Monkeys Always a pleasure hearing your laugh or seeing your look of wonderment, Aria! 😊
Yes to Fisher King, 12 Monkeys and Yellowbeard. Baron Munchausen has generally been overlooked. One of my favorites in the exercise of eccentricities. On another note, nobody remembers that Robert DeNiro is in Brazil.
This was an early attempt to break into the US market, and not really the best Python. They're funny of course, but the American producer interfered more than they liked, and no matter how the film was edited, test audience simply stopped laughing part way in. John Cleese believed it was because there was no story. Some of the other Pythons complained that the resulting film was just them telling jokes from behind desks. The skits are performed better in the original TV series, and later performances for live audiences (like at the Hollywood Bowl).
It IS a movie. Yes, the bits are from the TV show, BUT...they were all re-filmed for this movie, so each bit is a little bit different from the same bit in the TV series. (In the TV series, both film & video are used; in this movie, it's all film.)
I remember watching the Python TV show when I was a kid. I could never figure out why people think us Brits are a bit broken in the head, but in hindsight I understand.
Their UK TV show was video taped in a different format than the US used so it was cheaper and better quality to just redo the skits. It was PBS that invested a large sum of money to convert some of the "best" shows to air in the US in the late 1970s. In the digital age it is not a big deal now but was a major pain back then. Old video was in 1 inch reels of magnetic tape that ran at different speeds and did not have the same lines to scan. Won't get into all that here but why they choose to just remake them all. This was also before the Holy Grail movie and they wanted to open up the US market to make more films.
Watching you laugh over their bits is such a delight. I decided long ago, that if I ever adopted a pair of kittens that happened to be male and female, I'll name them Arthur and Dierdre, from the marriage counselor bit. Sadly, that never happened, but a couple decades ago a pair of boys came to me, and I named them after the arch criminals, Doug and Dinsdale Piranha. I hope you'll have an opportunity to see the show they appeared in, Season 2, Episode 1. Dinsdale appears in my avatar image.
This is in fact a movie. It's a collection of skits from the tv show restaged and shot on film and theatrically released. All of the animations were done by Terry Gilliam, the American member of the troupe and an accomplished film director in the years after the series. And, by the way, the "funniest joke" is just faux German gibberish with no intelligible English translation.
This was made with the intention of launching Python in America. It had a cult following there already when PBS was showing it late at night so the decision was made to push all the way to mainstream with this film. I read somewhere that the Pythons themselves never really regard this as a Python movie, and weren’t all that keen on doing it because they saw it as a bit of a backward step, rehashing old sketches. I still like it though.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy It’s nice to see the sketches done with sets that don’t look like they’re made of cardboard! Gilliam’s animation was re-done largely using the original cutouts and were on cleaner looking film, which was nice, but he added some little bits and bobs in that I wasn’t so keen on. I liked some sketches better on the film. I preferred Palin’s delivery on the film when he says he wants to be a lion tamer. I also preferred the film version of the self-defence against fruit sketch. The movie also has a different line in The Lumberjack Song. “Just like my dear mama” became “papa” which I think is funnier, and remained that way on the album and live versions. Whilst the Dirty Knife sketch looked much better, I prefer Cleese’s delivery in the original. All swings and roundabouts really. But it’s a good introduction to Python that visually looks better than the originals. And, let’s be honest, the TV series was very experimental. For every sketch that landed well, there were usually a few that didn’t. Especially in Series 1. And the movie gives us the good stuff on a bigger budget, with the less good-stuff gone. I would have liked to have seen more Gumbies and the fish-slapping dance (one of Cleese’s favourites) But that’s funny purely because of the way Palin looked when he fell in the water, and the chances of recreating that perfectly was pretty slim!
Loved it. I wonder why you stopped after the first episode of Flying Circus..... The Cheese Shop, and Climbimg the North Face of the Uxbridge Road are among my favorites. Great laughing along with you! I need to go watch some of the other movies you have done so i can go back and watch the reactions.
Loved watching you laugh. Enjoyed your reaction greatly. Encourage you to watch more comedies. Have you seen "Rat Race" or "Clerks" or "There's Something About Mary?"?
Admit it Aria, you never wanted to be a RUclips reactor. You wanted to be a lumberjack. May I call you Frank? ;P (Just goofing off, being an upperclass twit of the year XD =P) Very happy you did this reaction! =D =)
I have suspected that ALL modern reactors (age 40 and less) need to start with this TV-show compilation series in order to understand (or make excuses!) for HOLY GRAIL and BRIAN. You should explore Michael Palin's wonderful 9-episode series RIPPING YARNS and John Cleese's FAWLTY TOWERS two 6-episode 'seasons').
By the way, the TV show had fans quoting lines, acting out skits, first in homeland England then it was brought to Canada, the USA and Australia/NZ. I don't know when it first appeared on India's TVs.
FAWLTY TOWERS is a connected series based around a small hotel. Once you start, it's hard to stop watching. On the other hand, RIPPING YARNS has 9 separate tales with Michael Palin as the repeat central performer. I'd recommend the TESTING OF ERIC OLTHWAITE, about the most boring person in the world. Then into Season 2 with SIR WINFREY'S LAST CASE, a spy caper set in WWI; and then GOLDEN GORDON, about a small town's soccer that, after many years of losing, makes a triumphet return with its old stars.
Great you decided to watch And Now for Something Completely Different. It must mean you liked The Holy Grail and Life of Brian. To me, they got better and peaked at Life of Brian. Did you watch Jabberwocky from 1977? It's hilarious but not like Life of Brian
If you want to see more of John Cleese check out the TV series "Fawlty Towers". Only 12 episodes but a lot of fun that I think you would enjoy.
Best sitcom ever!
Yes it was great
100% Agree !!!
That's a good suggestion.
Fawlty Towers is hilarious. Too bad we only have 12 episodes to enjoy. The entire cast was brilliant! So much absurdity!
Three words for you: Fish slapping dance.
One of the things I find impressive about Python is that their sketches are still funny when you already know what’s coming.
Excellent reaction!
This woman laughing always makes my day about 60% better. Don't know why, but it does.
It's a 82 for me!
It's always such a delight watching Monty Python alongside your reactions.
So funny to see how these skits still work - for those who are intelligent enough to embrace absurdity. Timeless.
Have a great weekend and all the best!
You should watch Time Bandits from 1981
Similar humor to python and was directed by Terry Gilliam

You MUST react to the Fawlty Towers episodes, you’ll adore them!

I love laughing with you! I enjoy your reactions so much!!
I'm so glad!
Thank you, great reaction.
I love Monty Python's Flying Circus!
It is the inability to predict what's coming next that appeals to us Python Fans. But then we love knowing what's copming next, when we re-watch the shows. What geniuses!
Eric Idle, of Monty Python, teamed up with musician Neil Innes to create a Beatles-spoof band called THE RUTLES, which also featured some of the original cast of SNL like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. It was created for NBC TV in 1978, and is hilarious... especially the amazing spoof on the Beatles songs themselves, like one called CHEESE AND ONIONS. It's well worth watching. "THE RUTLES are a living legend. A living legend that will live on long after other living legends have died."
Don’t forget the sequel, The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch

I wonder if anyone has died of laughter from watching the funniest joke in the world sketch.
The BBC really had no idea what they were paying for, they just said here's the money, make a pilot
Mrs. Smegma... 🤣
(The name was borrowed by Bill Bryson for a landlady in his excellent "Notes from a Small Island").
It's great fun to see you enjoy things that I've loved forever. It's like when I introduced my kids to Monty Python years ago. Keep laughing!
A movie that goes the same style is Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl. They were doing their skits live in a US tour.
Also check out The Secret Policeman's Ball and The Secret Policeman's Other Ball. Python doing skits on stage along w/ some special guests, and some fantastic live music. They were benefit events.

The bogus Hungarian phrase book comes to mind when I watch DUNE part 2 and Stilgar says, “My stillsuit is full of piss.”

This was also before the Holy Grail movie and they wanted to open up the US market to make more films.
The part bit w/the lost wallet and'ees ask's if the officer wanted to come round his place was ad'lib'd but they kept it
Hello Aria C., a Michael Palin movie is " The Missionary " Also, there is " Time Bandits " and " The Adventures of Baron Munchausen " with Eric Idle.
Watching you laugh over their bits is such a delight. I decided long ago, that if I ever adopted a pair of kittens that happened to be male and female, I'll name them Arthur and Dierdre, from the marriage counselor bit. Sadly, that never happened, but a couple decades ago a pair of boys came to me, and I named them after the arch criminals, Doug and Dinsdale Piranha. I hope you'll have an opportunity to see the show they appeared in, Season 2, Episode 1. Dinsdale appears in my avatar image.
This is in fact a movie. It's a collection of skits from the tv show restaged and shot on film and theatrically released. All of the animations were done by Terry Gilliam, the American member of the troupe and an accomplished film director in the years after the series. And, by the way, the "funniest joke" is just faux German gibberish with no intelligible English translation.
Oh I was wondering what the joke really was, thanks😅
This was made with the intention of launching Python in America. It had a cult following there already when PBS was showing it late at night so the decision was made to push all the way to mainstream with this film.
I read somewhere that the Pythons themselves never really regard this as a Python movie, and weren’t all that keen on doing it because they saw it as a bit of a backward step, rehashing old sketches. I still like it though.
At any rate, I think a lot of the sketches were performed better here than on the series. -- and certainly _look_ more professional.
@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy It’s nice to see the sketches done with sets that don’t look like they’re made of cardboard! Gilliam’s animation was re-done largely using the original cutouts and were on cleaner looking film, which was nice, but he added some little bits and bobs in that I wasn’t so keen on.
I liked some sketches better on the film. I preferred Palin’s delivery on the film when he says he wants to be a lion tamer. I also preferred the film version of the self-defence against fruit sketch. The movie also has a different line in The Lumberjack Song. “Just like my dear mama” became “papa” which I think is funnier, and remained that way on the album and live versions.
Whilst the Dirty Knife sketch looked much better, I prefer Cleese’s delivery in the original.
All swings and roundabouts really. But it’s a good introduction to Python that visually looks better than the originals. And, let’s be honest, the TV series was very experimental. For every sketch that landed well, there were usually a few that didn’t. Especially in Series 1. And the movie gives us the good stuff on a bigger budget, with the less good-stuff gone. I would have liked to have seen more Gumbies and the fish-slapping dance (one of Cleese’s favourites) But that’s funny purely because of the way Palin looked when he fell in the water, and the chances of recreating that perfectly was pretty slim!
The natural progression is to watch The Kids in the Hall. Thirty Helens agree.
Loved it. I wonder why you stopped after the first episode of Flying Circus..... The Cheese Shop, and Climbimg the North Face of the Uxbridge Road are among my favorites.
Great laughing along with you!
I need to go watch some of the other movies you have done so i can go back and watch the reactions.
I just had been a little busy and didn't get the time to continue watching😅 definitely did not want to stop after the first ep
@@ariachanson01 Oh... I forgot I had promised myself to recommend Bicentennial Man with Robin Williams everytime I commented on this channel. :-)
Try to find the Michael Palin series ripping yarns, very much in the Monty python style of humour.
This one is good, But nothing beats Life of Brian or the Holy Grail :)
Absolute favorites!!!
Love to watch you laugh ❤
Great content, and may I complement you on such a beautiful speaking voice.
Thankyou:)
Makes me happy that younger people get python :) P.S. being old sucks :)
This was my introduction to MP. I was about ten or eleven and I have been an addict ever since...
🦶
Ah... the dead parrot 😂
Ex parrot🤣
@@ariachanson01 he is just resting 😉
Pinin' for the feee-ords 😂
If you look very carefully at Eric Idle's face at 12:08 you can see him struggling to keep a straight face.
Side note: you have a great smile. ❤
`The Light Entertainment War` from season 4, is an episode I like a lot.
Loved watching you laugh. Enjoyed your reaction greatly. Encourage you to watch more comedies. Have you seen "Rat Race" or "Clerks" or "There's Something About Mary?"?
I saw "there's something about mary" a long time ago. I don't think I've seen the other two though:)
I highly Recommend 1993s Dazed and Confused..... for something completely different 😉
Do MONTY PYTHON LIVE AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL!
Admit it Aria, you never wanted to be a RUclips reactor. You wanted to be a lumberjack. May I call you Frank? ;P
(Just goofing off, being an upperclass twit of the year XD =P)
Very happy you did this reaction! =D =)
I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay
@@ariachanson01 I cut down trees, I wear high heels, suspendies' & a bra. I wish I'd been a girly, just like my dear pa-pa!
😜😂🤣😜
This was thee first MP I ever saw.
React to the whole TV series! Other youtubers have, people will watch!
... Pointed Stick!!??
I have suspected that ALL modern reactors (age 40 and less) need to start with this TV-show compilation series in order to understand (or make excuses!) for HOLY GRAIL and BRIAN. You should explore Michael Palin's wonderful 9-episode series RIPPING YARNS and John Cleese's FAWLTY TOWERS two 6-episode 'seasons').
By the way, if you watch The Beatles' YELLOW SUBMARINE movie, you'll see some additional foundation-work for this style of animation.
By the way, the TV show had fans quoting lines, acting out skits, first in homeland England then it was brought to Canada, the USA and Australia/NZ. I don't know when it first appeared on India's TVs.
FAWLTY TOWERS is a connected series based around a small hotel. Once you start, it's hard to stop watching. On the other hand, RIPPING YARNS has 9 separate tales with Michael Palin as the repeat central performer. I'd recommend the TESTING OF ERIC OLTHWAITE, about the most boring person in the world. Then into Season 2 with SIR WINFREY'S LAST CASE, a spy caper set in WWI; and then GOLDEN GORDON, about a small town's soccer that, after many years of losing, makes a triumphet return with its old stars.
Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!
😂😂
I expected to see... But then...nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!
Great you decided to watch And Now for Something Completely Different. It must mean you liked The Holy Grail and Life of Brian. To me, they got better and peaked at Life of Brian. Did you watch Jabberwocky from 1977? It's hilarious but not like Life of Brian
Yes!!! I absolutely loved Holy Grail and Life of Brian, I haven't seen Jabberwocky yet:)
next, react to Bambi vs Bigfoot.
I'll have to look for that. I've seen "Bambi Meets Godzilla," but I've never heard of "Bambi vs. Bigfoot."
Is it okay if I haven't seen Bambi or Bigfoot movies? Also Godzilla👀
@@ariachanson01 "Bambi Meets Godzilla" is only a minute and a half long: ruclips.net/video/5R-rbzcEM8A/видео.html
Accountancy sketch is the best.
Oh Aria, it is always so nice to see you titter so. ;)
Hello Aria
Hello:)
Most fans and the Pythons them self agree that Live at the Hollywood Bowl is better than this film.
This films?!
Live audiences always make things better
@@A-small-amount-of-peas Sorry, "This film".
