My all time favourite Monty Python sketch. The following day after this Sketch first aired on BBC us school boys gathered in the yard re living the previous nights program repeating and laughing endlessly at the lines from this sketch. Bimmler what a name from the past can remember where we were standing and us lads in hysterics.
As an Australian, when I visited England, I made it a priority to look for the Axis Cafe in Minehead. (Already.) When I could not find one, I thought about starting one up.
One of my favourites, I didn’t know it was lesser known? When they're cycling around with Cleese dressed as Hitler, bystanders, who clearly aren't in the sketch, just stare at them. Only in England. 😂😂😂 And Heinrich Bimmler, of all the jobs he chose to have during the war is the almost impossible for Germans to pronounce, 'RRindow Cleaner'. Could have picked any other job. The Python attention to comic detail is astounding. 😂😂😂
The Pythons were a linguistic bunch, with German, French, Italian, Russian, and even Latin at their command. For example, the "Johann Gambolputty" sketch is genius-level absurdity to both English and German speakers. (John Cleese was a Latin teacher at one point, which added a whole level of fun to the *Life of Brian* scene with the centurion.)
outstanding comedy.. brilliantly written. I was a teen when they first appeared on BBC and although I found them v funny it is only later in life when you rewatch them that you find nuggets of pure comedy genius..
Well I think he's a very naughty boy. He kept interrupting Mr Johnson's fascinating story. We never got to hear about fuel consumption or parking restrictions and he never even got a chance to extemporize on the prevailing weather conditions. Thanks a lot Terry Jones.
Be a little while before they need the Stalingrad map !! The lovely british chap was right - The Ilfracombe and Barnstaple section would be much more useful !!
@@D0ct0rP0p Funny, I put an innocent comment about the current us president being that way and it was removed. No cursing, nothing really bad, but still removed.
When in Britain, Hermann Göring warned Hitler that Ribbentrop was a "stupid ass". Hitler dismissed Göring's concerns: "But after all, he knows quite a lot of important people in England." That remark led Göring to reply "Mein Führer, that may be right, but the bad thing is, they know him".

We were at the Grand opening of the local Phoenix Club (German restaurant), and my husband and I kept making (discreet) references to this and Fawlty Towers' "don't mention zee var!" bit. We were laughing are heads off - embarrassed the heck out of the kids.
Ze grammar is a little bit dodgy here... are we assuming "Meinhead" is a neuter noun, hence the inflection of the (wrongly capitalised) adjective "besseres"?? If we do a literal translation of the word "head", we find ourselves with a masculin German noun "Kopf": in such a case the phrase would read "Hilter für einen besseren Meinkopf" (Note the accusative inflection following the preposition "für"). Are you glazing over yet? Why will nobody start a conversation with me?????
You are equating Mine with Mein, whereas in fact, the Mine in Minehead probably refers to a Mine, as in colliery, I.e. Zeche in German. Therefore Minehead could be translated as Zechekopf. Alternatively, it seems that if the Mine in or near Minehead was originally a gold or silver Mine, it could be translated as "Bergwerk". In an effort to keep this brief, I will not mention here the exploding type of mine.
I'm hiding here in Australia from the insanity which has just happened in the USA today: I started off with Peter Cook & Dudley Moore and then graduated to Monty Python: the courtroom sketch, the Spanish Inquisition and now this ........... youtube is saving my mental health tonight.

Chamberlain’s infamous “appeasement” of Hitler in 1938 was on account of his dire need of a cigarette at the conclusion of the negotiations…..which for Chamberlain, couldn’t happen soon enough. Hitler used knowledge of Chamberlains nicotine addiction to cleverly extort favourable terms. (Hitler was a non-smoker).
@@peterquest6406do you really prefer the “weaver”? I wonder if poor Old Dementia Donny will even make it to Tuesday, he’s been looking a little shaky for weeks now. Bless his heart!
Never noticed before that their political leaflets call Minehead 'Meinhead' 😂
Lots of quirky fun in this, the full sketch.
Meinkopf surely.
@GertyColeman-k8c Well, Monty Python chose 'Meinhead', which is far funnier in the context of the sketch, I think.
One of the lesser known, but best done sketches.

@ Huh !!!
At my Catholic HS in NJ back in the 70's we sang the Lumberjack song incessantly.
Another funny thing is that there really is a little town in Germany called Hilter.
So clever with language. Glad I found this gem. ❤❤
"not much fun in Stalingrad, no" just kills me
The audience didn't pick it up at all.
The funniest subtlest joke in the whole sketch....*crickets.
Michael Palin’s grin was pure hysterical evil. Such a classic skit.
Maybe based his character from Brazil on that
But like when EVER did you see Heiny schmirk, apart from rolling round the camp outers...??

"Soon baby!" 😏
"Well, I think he'll do a lot of good for the stock exchange."
Now, where did I hear similar sentiments to that over the past couple of weeks?
Eric Idle was SO good at these long rambling speeches and rants.
Classic Python; absurd wordplay, commitment to demented characterization, astute mockery of a subject many consider “untouchable”.
Damn fine skit. Let's hope it doesn't happen again. We're looking at you America.
It won’t, few more months and we’re rid of the woke 1984 police.

"Cat's boil can wait" OMG
Just imagine regular people walking down the street and seeing "Hitler" on a bicycle screaming through a megaphone and not in on the sketch?
I think you'll find the sound was added in editing!
"You'll have to forgive him. He's a little upset. He hasn't slept since 1945."
