History Funny / MontyPython

* This troper would like to give shout-outs to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w the self-defense class]] ("No point-ed stick?" "SHUT UP!"), [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_ve37gVwxw&feature=related the tobacconist shop]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMrn4R6_vk Nudge Nudge]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4oKXagF3IE The Penultimate Supper]], It took him ''hours'', and turning kangaroos into disciples can't be easy.
** THE BISHOP! "With 'R.F. Gromsby-Urquhart Wright' as the Voice of God"
** Stig O'Tracy and Vince Snetterton-Lewis. Especially Graham Chapman's delivery of 'He says "I hear you've been a naughty boy Clement". And I say, "My name's not Clement"'.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08jOGYFZCkM A Scotsman on a horse!]]
** It may be old ''now'', but everyone remembers the first time they saw the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npjOSLCR2hE Dead Parrot Sketch]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gldlyTjXk9A The Spanish Inquisition]].
*** "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" And them constantly messing up. And ''The Comfy Chair''!
** The animations. Every. Single. Damn. One of them.
** This troper liked the "How to Identify Parts of the Body" episode, especially the parts about 'naughty bits'.
**** "Number twenty-three: The naughty bits...of a HORSE!"
** ...[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_eYSuPKP3Y spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam]]...
** Let's not forget [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T70-HTlKRXo Woody and Tinny words]]...
** [[StuffBlowingUp Exploding]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]] and... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k1ccguXiws BURMA!!!]]
*** "Hello, it's just after 8 o'clock and time for the penguin on top of your television set to explode."
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zekiZYSVdeQ How Not to Be Seen]].
** The moment when Graham Chapman "improvises" his telephone hangup in the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1oMhMwUbgc Flying Lesson]] sketch was surely a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
*** 'Oh, oh, no more buttered scones for me, mater. I'm off to play the groohnd piano'. 'Pardon me while I fly my aeyroplane.' NOW GET ON THE TABLE!
** John Cleese's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZlBUglE6Hc silly walks]].
** I can't believe nobody has yet mentioned the famous [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xToPCaNxaow Lumberjack Song]]!
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiVOG199X2c And now in German.]]
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QSHxgoMRZE&feature=related How about a full blown orchestra and choir singers for back up at the London's Royal Albert Hall?]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe1a1wHxTyo The four Yorkshiremen]] skit. How ridiculous each story gets is hysterical. Especially this line
---->Eric: I had to get up at 10 o clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed.
*** This Troper got to be the extra ridiculous Yorkshireman when performing that sketch on stage at her local theatre. If there was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome in this troper's life, that would be it.
** Not as well known, but Deja Vu is one I particularly like. On the subject of the animations, my personal pick is The Killer Cars.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y The Argument Clinic]], particularly Graham Chapman in the "Abuse Department" and the quite silly "Getting Hit on the Head lessons".
** This Troper adores the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy6uLfermPU "crunchy frog"]] sketch, it seems to be the inspiration of the chocolate frogs of HarryPotter.
** "Upper-Class Twit of the Year." [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqObJtGrKaA THEY'RE OFF! ...No, no, they're not; they didn't realize they had to start at the gun...]]
*** "And Oliver has run himself over!"..."Oliver is still dead, but he's not necessarily out of it!"
*** "My GOD, this is exciting!"
*** "The jump of a lifetime, if only his father could understand!"
** This Troper just loved every time they did an episode with an actual ''story'' (three times, all in all). The Cycling Tour is her favorite, and she'd like people to quote 'The pump got caught in m'trouser leg.' more often.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7fsxnzZF9w&feature=channel Non-Illegal Robbery.]] Hilarious all the way through, but the best part is this exchange:
--> "We don't seem to be doin' anythin' illegal!"
--> "What d'you mean?"
--> "Well, we're payin' for the watch."
--> "Yeah?"
--> "Well, why're we payin' for the watch?"
--> ''(snorts)'' "They wouldn't ''give'' it to us if we didn't pay for it, would they?"

* The Boxer Documentary sketch

* From the Austrian TV special, the Silly Olympics.

-->'''Customer:''' If I could walk ''that'' way, I wouldn't need after shave. (''Constable carts him off'')

* The Larch

* "Look you stupid bastard you've got no arms left," says King Arthur, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno the entire Black Knight scene]] deserves this crown. "Right! I'll do you for that!".

*** Which, in this troper's opinion, is one of the best lines in any film, ever.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=af9EHtQMMc4 "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"]] is a close second.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaE3EaQte78 What did the Romans ever do for us?]]
*** "Brought peace?" "Brought peace ... SHUT UP!"
*** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oRzIHxZKnA And now in a musical format.]]
** Bwian's fathuh was a Woman centuwion named Naughtius Maximus.
** "Now look, no one is to stone anyone until I blow this whistle. Even... and I want to make this absolutely clear... even if they ''do'' say Jehovah!" *gets stoned*
** "[[YouMakeMeSic Domus?? Nominative???]]"
** And then there's that little musical number at the end.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9ZrM-fToCk "He wanks as high as any in Wome!"]]
** "We are the Judean People's Front crack suicide squad! Suicide squad, attack! [[[{{Seppuku}} stab]]] That showed 'em, huh?"
** "Oh, it's the ''meek''! 'Blessed are the ''meek''!' Oh, that's nice, isn't it? I'm glad they're getting something because they have a hell of a time."

** "You're '''all''' individuals!" "Yes! We're all individuals!" "You're all different!" "Yes! We are all different!" ''[[ThrowItIn "I'm not."]] '' "Shhh!"
** "Obviously it's not meant to be taken literally, it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products."
** "I'm Brian and so's my wife!"
** "I'm not your Messiah!" "Only the true Messiah would deny his divinity!" "All right, than I AM your Messiah!" (The mass:) "HE IS, HE IS OUR MESSIAH!"
*** "NOW [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] OFF!!!"
**** "How shall we fuck off, Lord?"

* "Did I...or did I not...mention...vaginal juices?"

* This troper's new favorite sketch is 'Radio Shop', from the newest CD edition of 'Matching Tie and Handkerchief'. Not only the unnecessarily verbose prose the customer constantly spews, ''or'' his attempts to get enough argument that he indeed bought his radio at the shop, ''or'' the seller's simple not-caring-that-much for him makes this troper laugh as much as the ending, which has to give this sketch one of Monty Python's coolest characters, especially combined with Chapman's portrayal. Part of why it is so hilarious is that it's been so put off, and so, spoiler tags!

* This troper would like to give shout-outs to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWCBOsJr-w the self-defense class]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_ve37gVwxw&feature=related the tobacconist shop]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMrn4R6_vk Nudge Nudge]].

** The Gumbies generally were ''made'' of this. "I THINK WE SHOULD PUT A TAX ON ALL PEOPLE WHO STAND IN WATER." *realizes that he's standing in water* "OH!"

* The Gumbies. "I THINK WE SHOULD PUT A TAX ON ALL PEOPLE WHO STAND IN WATER." *realizes that he's standing in water* "OH!"

** Exploding penguins and... [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k1ccguXiws BURMA!!!]]

*** My friends made this even funnier by doing the skit but replacing "spam" with "Ass."
*** It's Monty Python. You didn't make it funnier.

** "Now then, now then, let's not bicker and argue about who killed who!"

* "Sir Launcelot had saved Sir Galahad from almost certain temptation."

** I don' wanna talk to you no more?
** [[YourMom Your mother was a hamster]], and your father smelt of elderberries!

** "Huuuuuge tracts of land!"

* "Conjuring Today": "Good evening. Last week we learned how to saw a lady in half. This week we're going to learn how to saw a lady in three bits and dispose of the body... (gets chased off)

** "Bet you're gay."

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAlYEJQmeI "What, the curtains?"]]

** "Upper-Class Twit of the Year." [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ba1OKY7Xc THEY'RE OFF! ...No, no, they're not; they didn't realize they had to start at the gun...]]

** "He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged ..."

** "Look you stupid bastard you've got no arms left," says King Arthur, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eMkth8FWno the entire Black Knight scene]] deserves this crown. "Right! I'll do you for that!".
** "Sir Launcelot had saved Sir Galahad from almost certain temptation."
*** "Let me face the peril!"
*** "You can't, it's too perilous!"
*** "Bet you're gay."
**** Made even [[HilariousInHindsight funnier in retrospect]] thanks to ''Spamalot'' where, yes, Lancelot really ''is'' gay.
** "The legendary Black Beast of AAAAARRRRRRGGGHHH!"
** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs Now go away]], or [[IShallTauntYou I shall taunt you]] a second time!"
*** Just about every scene where the French guards taunt King Arthur and his men.
*** I faaaarrrrrtttt in your general direction!
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCI18qAoKq4 The first death]] by KillerRabbit.
*** "JESUS CHRIST!!!"
*** "That is NO ORDINARY RABBIT!"
*** "O Lord, bless this thy HolyHandGrenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy..."
** "Who's that then?" "I dunno, must be a king." "Why?" [[ThrowItIn "He hasn't got shit all over him."]]
*** And then the French dump shit all over him near the end. Literal shit. Gotta wonder where all that runny shit came from.
** The [[BurnTheWitch "burn the witch"]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fr8DIg3oHFI scene]].
--->'''Sir Bedevere:''' What makes you think she's a witch?
--->'''Peasant 3:''' Well, she turned me into a newt!
--->'''Sir Bedevere:''' A newt?
--->'''Peasant 3:''' (meekly after a long pause) [[IGotBetter I got better!]]
--->'''Crowd:''' (shouts) Burn her anyway!
** The ending! "All right, sonny, that's enough, just take off!"
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQfGd3G6dg The Knights who say Ni!]]
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4SJ0xR2_bQ "Brave Sir Robin ran away..."]]
*** "He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged ..."
*** "...and his elbows broken, he was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways..."
*** "...and his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and penis split-" (Granted, the last word was only in the subtitles for the singalong version in the Special Edition DVD, but it makes any guy cringe at the thought)
**** [[SchmuckBait I'll just]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subincision leave this here]]
** All of Sir Lancelot's Quest. No really, all of it.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLAlYEJQmeI "What, the curtains?"]]
*** "Huuuuuge tracts of land!"
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o76WQzVJ434 "Help, help, I'm being repressed!"]]
*** "Bloody peasant!!"
** Oh what the hell, let's just call the entire ''film'' a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
*** Especially with the Subtitles for People Who Don't Like The Film. Straight from Henry IV, they fit ''perfectly''.

** No love for the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4oKXagF3IE Penultimate Supper?]] It took him ''hours'', and turning kangaroos into disciples can't be easy.

What, no love for ''The Meaning of Life?'' Well...
