      I know right! I think only Monty Python could get away with laughing at their own jokes on stage like this xD
      Fucking brilliant comedy.

    The thing that's making me laugh even more than the sketch is how adorable Michael is when he tries not to crack up :)

  • @carocatho
    @carocatho 11 лет назад +56

    I think John's point in this sketch is to make Michael lose it. XD

  • @leapoffaith20
    @leapoffaith20 10 лет назад +49

    By the time they did this performance EVERYBODY knew the sketch. The comedy came not only from the sketch its self, but from the interplay between the audience and the actors. John and Michael tried to make each other laugh all the time on stage.

    John Cleese had (probably still has) an unbelievable ability to maintain a straight persona while doing some of the funniest jokes and watching everyone else lose it. The only person I've seen handle it better was Ronnie Barker, who appeared to live on another planet where all the hilarious things he was saying made perfect, logical, sensible sense.

    • @halflanding1900

  • @vigo894
    @vigo894 12 лет назад +17

    There's a version, in which Palin concedes it's dead, and refunds John Cleese's money. Then, the sketch ends.

  • @Mytibility
    @Mytibility 15 лет назад +1

    The best bit is when Mr. Cleese says "Piining for the fjords,"
    Graham Chapman is a genious coming up with not just a parrot, but a Norwegian Blue, and Palin's reference to the fjords... One word: Genious

    My gf saw this sketch once and loved it. More recently, she was reading Dickens' "The Old Curiosity Shop," and couldn't help but think of this sketch when Little Nell died, due to how much ol' Charles put into the moment.
    I wonder if this was where Python got the idea?
