The Martin Luther sketch was originally part of The Meaning of Life, right after the Prostestant couple bit, but was cut. It's still available on the dvd's bonus.
Nicely done. A hodgepodge mincemeat (lamb) of silliness with a few extra spices and even a never before seen scene. Blessed be the Brian, for he has been a very naughty boy.
Seriously. They are the basis for so many happy memories of laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. They are as interwoven in my life as my family. And I learned many lessons of life from them. Always look on the bright side of life! They added Rowan Atkinson to this video. Who has a smaller presence in my life but equally good. Black Adder gave me some great times.
Some of this (eg. 49.22) is from a children’s TV show called Do Not Adjust Your Set, which pre-dates Monty Python, starring Denise Coffee, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones.
May 2024, I haven't seen a lot of these. My mom got me started on British comedy with 'On The Buses' back in the 70s when they only showed them on PBS, at least in my part of the country. I'll be 55 this year and I'm happy to see these come around again. We all need some major laughs and Montey Python deliver.
Byv21:50 they move next level!, got t love them mps. Thank y v much for uploading this, i think its never been played on greek tv... (so yes there y go, i am fr gr..)
It wasn't. That's why *I* took it upon myself to assemble them all together and turn them into "an X-Mas special or such"! And just for the record, the various bits originally aired over a rough fifty year period between the 1960s and the 2010s...
This is absolutely rib-tickling funny. Brilliantly written. The piece with the 3 wise men, Jesus and Mary was brilliant. I dare say this would not go down to well in the bible-belt of the US 😊😊
@@goinghomesomeday1 Indeed, my own parents were 'more Catholic than the Pope' themselves and I have met some people of the more puritanical versions of Presbyterianism to whom such things would also be blasphemous. Nowadays it's got so that fundamentalists of all persuasions have more in common with each other than with their 'co-religionists'.
What a great compilation of MP (and others) Christmas themed skits! There were so many I’d never seen before. I almost sh*t myself when I spotted Eddie Izzard. And was that Dudley Moore? (may he rip) Thanks for this I had a fantastic time watching it!
Pardon the expression, but Jesus Christ this is funny. Eddie Izzard, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Rowan Atkinson...I'm only a half-hour into this and I've already laughed more than I have in all of 2024 so far...no need to go into that, I guess. Thank you, Sir.
Pete 'n' Dud, Monty Pee full team, Not the 9 o'Clocks, Tim Brooke Taylor, Eddie Izzard, and I am not yet a third of the way through the chronology hopping, which is seemless or unseamly in equal measure... Many thanks, so far! ❤
Actually I think he says "the good bøk", which would be an incredibly obscure reference to the fact that one of the Monty Python books that they put out during their heyday had the title "Monty Python's Big Red Bøk"...
I was lured here under false pretenses, but to be fair they are also quite hilarious! I shall take my leave shortly as my hovercraft is being overtaken by eels, my parrot has died and the cheese shop seems to be amiss for cheese.
I miss Monty Python! anyone "offended" by the Pythons is offenseive to me(and in an appaling way) and an afront to cuture itself! the reason for living I might add. "Meaning of LIfe".
I've never found Terry Gilliams Python Mastermind...'And your chosen subject ,mathematical questions to which the answer is two'..........'two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two'.............Love to see that again!
Izzard did it a few times; in the sketch I used from Python night in 1999, in the Bruces sketch from Monty Python Live Mostly in 2014, and he also did the introduction for a Python documentary. Atkinson appeared with Cleese, I believe, in a Secret Policeman's Ball sketch, but the bit I used was from a Not the 9:00 News sketch *about* Monty Python...
I really enjoyed the first third of the program but understand why the rest was cut from “ Life of Brian”. Good but a bit bitter. More sugar in my coffee please…

"is it AD yet?" perfect Python
It’s quarter past.
Wow, a very young Eddie Izzard as a Ballgown-wearing Fairy! Only a few seconds, but I laughed.
Smoking with his wand no less.
He was a wrong un even back then.
Eddie Izzard is the best.
I thought that was him! He is amazing.
Dude, you had me going until i recognized the Life of Brian shepherds. Well done! And thank you! Love it!
Isn't this scene only on the Criterion Collection version of the movie? I don't think it was in the original release.
The Martin Luther sketch was originally part of The Meaning of Life, right after the Prostestant couple bit, but was cut. It's still available on the dvd's bonus.
Every Sperm is Sacred.
Wow, great job! I thought it was a real movie i missed over the last 60 years!
'The Penultimate Supper" lmao
The Monty Python troupe and Mel Brooks taught me what "Funny" is. Thanks for the laughs gentlemen.
Turning that infamous Cleese/Muggeridge interview into that satire is pure genius
Yes. It's interesting to rewatch that interview/debate for comparison.
This sketch (at 9:37) is not by Python but instead from Not the Nine O'Clock News, an excellent sketch show from the late 70s early 80s
"Show me the spoons!"🤣
Nice to see Marty Feldman in the sketches, I had forgotten about him. Under rated, he was on TV a lot back in the 60/70`s.
Well he was alive then.
Can we PLEASE stop calling every goddamned thing "underrated"? Feldman was quite highly rated in his day.
Yeah, I am under rated! ( except by me, does it still count?)@@christheghostwriter
He was never under rated except by current trolls who have no brains anyway
How could you possibly forget Marty Feldman in " Young Frankenstein " as Igor?
Nicely done. A hodgepodge mincemeat (lamb) of silliness with a few extra spices and even a never before seen scene. Blessed be the Brian, for he has been a very naughty boy.
💯🤣🤣
"So-what d'you keep up there: adipose tissue?"
Priceless.
36:31 OMG, The Goodies riffing on Benny Hill... just brilliant
Not only were they the funniest comedy troupe ever, but they were also the craziest...these guys were nuts. I love them like family.
Seriously. They are the basis for so many happy memories of laughing so hard that I couldn't breathe. They are as interwoven in my life as my family. And I learned many lessons of life from them. Always look on the bright side of life! They added Rowan Atkinson to this video. Who has a smaller presence in my life but equally good. Black Adder gave me some great times.
Er. No. Not the funniest ever. The funniest since the goons, their inspiration.
I found them amusing but rarely funny till the life of brian.
Crazy like f@cking comedic foxes with MFAs and doctorates.
@@helenamcginty4920Comedic snob.
@@helenamcginty4920One might also make a case for The Young Ones and Mr. Show with Bob and David.
Some of this (eg. 49.22) is from a children’s TV show called Do Not Adjust Your Set, which pre-dates Monty Python, starring Denise Coffee, Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones.
Python's love for vaudeville on full display. Martin Luther is Chico Marx dead-on.
I would have said, more like Jimmy Durante...
@@oldsandface birds of a feather. If you think there's right and wrong, you're wrong. Booyah.
Who did play the p art
Thanks for putting all of these together 🙏🏻
I've never heard of this. 😱 When I saw what was originally one of the title ideas for Life Of Brian - I thought this was going to be a documentary.
January 26th 2024. I love this stuff still. I loved it when I was a kid and I still love it now at 57. It's the most Awesomer Eh 💯☮️🇨🇦❤️🫂

I certainly did not expect the Inquisition. lol
nobody expects the Spanish inquisition! ruclips.net/video/Cj8n4MfhjUc/видео.html
Yes, I also think we are in a very tight grip of the 21th century. 😊 Thanks for posting.
Byv21:50 they move next level!, got t love them mps. Thank y v much for uploading this, i think its never been played on greek tv... (so yes there y go, i am fr gr..)
I've actually saw these skits way back in 70s. Didn't think it was an xmas special or such.
It wasn't. That's why *I* took it upon myself to assemble them all together and turn them into "an X-Mas special or such"!
And just for the record, the various bits originally aired over a rough fifty year period between the 1960s and the 2010s...
I missed them badly
Those spoon arrangements
This is absolutely rib-tickling funny. Brilliantly written. The piece with the 3 wise men, Jesus and Mary was brilliant.
I dare say this would not go down to well in the bible-belt of the US 😊😊
Parts of Ireland where it wouldn't be overly welcome too!
Hello Sean, I daresay yes. My late father-in-law was a devout Roman Catholic would not like it. He even thought Father Ted was an absolute disgrace.

That is the point. Call out the ridiculousness of the "belief" system of Blind faith.
Plenty of people in the bible belt would love this. The South is NOT monoculture. 💛
Where has this all been? I watched every BBC Flying Circus(PBS), all the movies and their extras...
Such a great find!
What a great compilation of MP (and others) Christmas themed skits! There were so many I’d never seen before. I almost sh*t myself when I spotted Eddie Izzard. And was that Dudley Moore? (may he rip) Thanks for this I had a fantastic time watching it!
Yes, and Peter Cook too plus others from regular and comedy TV ;)
Stumbled across this trove of lost treasures, a true Xmas Classic. top man.
OMG. Thank you, I needed this! Never saw it before and I'm DYING. (In the best possible way) Deep in the roots of my Pagan heart. SO classic.
😊Such a talented collection. Their work is timeless. There will ever be another troop like them.
Loved Pete and Dud's shepherd sketch at 24.37 minutes
I enjoyed this compilation. Great work.
Height of irreverent British humor. Nothing is sacred, nobody spared, and NOBODY does it better😂😂😂🎉
Thanks for putting this together
Oh man! I needed this . Thank you!!
Martin Luther bears an uncanny resemblance to Keith Moon.
Maybe it is Pete...🤔
Fun mix of old and new Python.
I remember John Cleese saying what one of the proposed titles of Life of Brian were. I remember a quite few of these.
Thanks for the nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Oh my Atheist heart, I loved that J. Cleese church sketch.
Hadn't seen it until now; so there is still something to live and hope for.
the best and nothing but the best now and forever
The sets are superb.
pete n' dud were brilliant
I thoroughly enjoyed most of that.
"Is it AD yet? Quarter-past." Genius!
Nicely assembled from once-discarded Python and Python adjacent material. Bravo!
thank you so much! I am joining the Noise Abatement Society and giving up rock n roll. My kids will have to give up rap
Some lifted from Peter Cook dudley Moore and their Jesus sketches. Funny stuff.
Thank you so much it's absolutely genius, I laughed so much!!!
Looks like they drafted in the "Not the 9 O' Clock news" crew for this.
Thanks for sharing this rare gem!
MP genius, I think the smart guys that loved them in the day are still trying to catch up. MP godbless.
It was certainly a lot of fun to see David Jason as a young man!
Wow! Noooobody expected a new film!!
Pardon the expression, but Jesus Christ this is funny. Eddie Izzard, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, Rowan Atkinson...I'm only a half-hour into this and I've already laughed more than I have in all of 2024 so far...no need to go into that, I guess. Thank you, Sir.
No, thank you, officer! (Whoops! Oh, what a giveaway!)
Thank you for uploading this Ken! Merry Christmas :)
I love how Martin Luther has the same voice as 'The Bishop'!
The adventures of Martin Luther sketch use to be a sequence in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life before they ended up cutting it out.
most of this feels like demos for film stuff there's some proto life of brian in the bethlehem wisemen scene etc etc
"You call yourself a shepard?!"
@9:38 is my favourite part. A direct comeback to the infamous interview after Life of Brian.
'The Church of J.C. Capitalist' 🤣🤣🤣
How have I not seen this before?
Because I made (assembled) it and posted it on my channel that the algorithm has no interest in.
@@kenlieck7756Good. Long lost movie,huh? Bullshit. They should sue your ass.
what the hell? This is something i saw once a long, long time ago. Forgot it’s existence. thanks.
I know! it's levelling experience
Well, I certainly wasn’t expecting a Spanish Inquisition....er.
(Twirls viewfinder)
Eric showing some knickers. "You may wonder what these have to with Christmas. They're Carol's"

Don't forget the Rutles! Also you might get a kick out of "The Day Today."
goons
I never heard of this one!
Best Benny Hill parody ever.
"...other slogans from the good book...." 😂😂😂
Actually I think he says "the good bøk", which would be an incredibly obscure reference to the fact that one of the Monty Python books that they put out during their heyday had the title "Monty Python's Big Red Bøk"...
This is living proof how these men died for us.........frequently.
I believe that in north Wales this was not allowed to be shown.
58.00 It's worth remembering this was a kids' tv show.
Thanx!
Mildly interesting fact: The intro/commercial for Glorious (Eddie's best special IMO) is titled Lust for Glorious.
great
The wise men sequence was taken out of Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Dudley proves that less is moore.
25 mins in... not a python in sight.
echoing an earlier responder, or rather repeating them, how have I not seen this? where was it, all that time?
STUNNING !!! 😃❤👍
It's not python it's python mixed with not the nine o'clock news and other old school British comedy nice cut though
I'm just here for the spoons 🥄 🤷♂️
So cool
I was lured here under false pretenses, but to be fair they are also quite hilarious! I shall take my leave shortly as my hovercraft is being overtaken by eels, my parrot has died and the cheese shop seems to be amiss for cheese.
I'm off to scale the north face of the Edgeware Road.
There's a reason it's lost
The sausages of haile salami was also quite ok
I miss Monty Python! anyone "offended" by the Pythons is offenseive to me(and in an appaling way) and an afront to cuture itself! the reason for living I might add. "Meaning of LIfe".
PRICELESS humour 😂
My teeth hurt now…
Python sketch compilations.
the furniture resurrects itself.😂
Never saw the opening sketch before.
I've never found Terry Gilliams Python Mastermind...'And your chosen subject ,mathematical questions to which the answer is two'..........'two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two'.............Love to see that again!
Whoever edited this together......
Wow! I did not expect Rowan Atkinson here! Neither Eddie Izzard. Nice surprise. :)
How often did they collaborate with Monty Python?

I didnt know this existed
Some of the music is the tune for the song “Hitler has got no balls”
There's a reason this was long lost. It wasn't worth finding. This is the only MP show I wouldn't watch again.
