I'm just impressed by the fact that in this sketch, John Cleese remembers 43 different kinds of cheeses. Including one that doesn't exist! Who in their right mind would try and milk a beaver anyways? I have "try all the cheeses from Monty Python's Cheese Shop sketch in one sitting" on my bucket list. :P
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK I sleep all night and I work all day... I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspendies and a bra I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa... I agree, much better than selling cheese ! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Tysheen, Did you know that John Cleese's Fathers name was Cheese. Wikipedia says:"Cleese was born in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, the only child of Reginald Francis Cleese (1893-1972), an insurance salesman, and his wife Muriel Evelyn (née Cross, 1899-2000), the daughter of an auctioneer.[2] His family's surname was originally Cheese, but his father had thought it was embarrassing and used the name Cleese when he enlisted in the Army during the First World War; he changed it officially by deed poll in 1923."
I agree with Peter. The joke is more about the British themselves and how it was during that period. The client is obviously well informed and knows his cheeses. The client goes through every type of cheese from every European country. The cheese specialist proudly says that his shop is a cheese shop yet calmly, as if it’s normal, admits that he has none of the requested cheeses. The situation is obviously absurd, yet no one is getting angry. In a very British way, instead of getting angry, the client tries to see how far this absurd situation can go by going through all types of cheeses to see at what point will the cheese seller starts to realise that he’s useless. Of course, the cheese vendor is not stupid, he probably doesn’t care or he may actually doesn’t know anything about cheese 🙂, probably didn’t bother to stock up. It was like that in Britain back in the 70’s the trade unions were very politically in control of the country. The comedy is in the mind game that both the client and the seller were playing in a very civil and British way.
Hi Tysheen. Your commentary described the events beautifully. But you mustn't question nor seek logic when watching Monty Python. It isn't meant to make sense in the ordinary way. But it's always made me laugh. It's lovely and silly.
The bouzouki player is a reference to a TV commercial of the time, which used a Greek instrumental to accompany a series of jump-cuts of the many different ways to use cheese, at an ever-increasing tempo.
There was the Monty Python Game Book, in the cheese shop game you had two players. One had to ask for different types of cheese the other player was the shopkeeper who had to make excuses for not having the cheese. If the shopkeeper ran out of excuses before the customer ran out of cheeses the customer won, if the customer ran out of cheeses first then the shopkeeper won.
Every clip I have ever seen of this always cuts off the punchline, which is Cleese and his cheese bandit compadres riding off into the sunset. That's what makes this sketch funny - not the leadup.
First time watching but she sounds like my daughter when she watches a comedy, shed rather comment on and criticize it rather than watch it for what it is a pice of comedy especially classic comedy like this
The refined vinyl album versions of these sketches are much funnier as the vendor comes up with a series of ever more unlikely reasons why a particular cheese is out of stock. Ditto the reworking of the Parrot Sketch. Python were at their sharpest c.1975 with the "Matching Tie & Handkerchief' LP, IMO.
This type of humor is based on things not making any sense to the extreme, they carry it to the point a very effective humor once you get it. If you want to see something really funny by them do the ministry of silly walks
Thank you very much! But these comedy videos are not like "real life" scenarious. So there hardly is any logic behind them. Not at all with Monthy Python-videos😂😮😅
Lol now in UK THE CHEDDAR CHEESE CO CANT SELL TO EUROPE AND TRIED TO SELL IN CANADA TO REPLACE TRADE BUT ITS TOO EXPENSIVE LOL THIS SKETCH MADE ME LAUGH
I grew up on Monty Pythons. They, as well as other british comedy acts, were hugely popular in Denmark during the 70’s. I guess that the british humour went well with danish comedy. We had an actor, Dirch Passer, who also was a comedy genious. Unfortunately he only spoke danish, otherwise he would have been world famous. This is one of my favourites. The “Russian” is just nonsense. ruclips.net/video/Gej-_-O33t8/видео.html
You need to add the ‘Fast Show’ to your repertoire can I suggest you start with unlucky Alf. Parrot. ruclips.net/video/pV27Xhv0G2g/видео.html There is an almost unlimited Amount of reactions to the Fast Show. Paul Whitehouse is the biggest name in it, and he’s Harry Enfields best mate.
It's surrealist humour. Don't try to overthink it!
Carful my dear. You are getting very close to the edge of the Monty Python rabbit hole.
Love Monty Python...brilliant!
Regards from England.
😊😎🎸🇺🇦
But do you like Monty Phantom?

Witch one does not not exist?
@@iceelfonsea Venezuelan Beaver Cheese. Hence why I said what I said.
"Try them in one life" is good enough for me.
Not as impressed as I am that you counted them all.
It has taken me 2 years since you wrote that to count them.
There was a cheese loving cat in the shop, because the mouse had a holiday. In Sir Lancelot' s castle, where all cheese is served on round table.
I bet he'd rather be a lumberjack than a seller of cheese 🧀 🤣
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day...
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspendies and a bra
I wish I'd been a girlie, just like my dear Papa... I agree, much better than selling cheese ! 🤣🤣🤣
If you're liking Monty Python, it's worth looking up the Yorkshire men sketch if you haven't already.

For goodness sake it's a Monty Python sketch, not a real shop!
Take a look at 'The Vicar of Dibley.'
i do like that Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese!
As I commented before, don't try to make too much sense of python. 😂❤
The bouzouki player is a reference to a TV commercial of the time, which used a Greek instrumental to accompany a series of jump-cuts of the many different ways to use cheese, at an ever-increasing tempo.
John Cleese knows his cheeses!
Python is pronounced Pie - thon, as in the snake. :)
Actually, when the actors themselves say it, they do pronounce it "pith-on."
Don't apply logic to Monty python- it's criminal to do do. Just appreciate the absurdity of it.

If the shopkeeper ran out of excuses before the customer ran out of cheeses the customer won, if the customer ran out of cheeses first then the shopkeeper won.
The way you did some of the script 😆 I thought was classic. X
There was no cat in the shop....he just had to say something since he never had any of that cheese to begin with.
Its simple humor. The vary beginning. If you don't watch it in the right mind or your to young to understand the humer . Different era. Its funny
Just a bog standard classic! Now, that is how I spent my youth
I remember being in like 8th grade, catching Monty Python on PBS at 10pm in the 70s. Still funny today.
Every clip I have ever seen of this always cuts off the punchline, which is Cleese and his cheese bandit compadres riding off into the sunset. That's what makes this sketch funny - not the leadup.

Velveeta ? No
Easy Cheese ? No
American Cheese slices ? No

Please wear something Colorful for a change, thank you.
It's drawing you in Tysheen. Python will do that to you. 😁
Enjoyed your video.

No cheese but a lot of music and dancing though.
Just to help you out, you pronounce it Monty 'Pie (like apple pie) -thon' Just like the snake.
or Like the snake
this is th whole point it makes no sense, its absurd, its Pythonesque (a legit term)
You mean you don't like Venezuelan beaver cheese?
Fyi python is pronounced the same as the snake.
Taking it too seriously its a comedy show after all.Unless you are the comedic reaction?
