And now for something much the same as last time. Well, it has been a while.
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
And now for something much the same as last time. Well, it has been a while.
The only thing I have seen is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which I dearly want to see again. Oh, and a few skits. Not many.
If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as the man and then compare the relative brain sizes, we now find that the penguin’s brain is still smaller. But, and this is the point, it is larger than it was.
So, I’m hoping I’ll be able to rent Life of Brian in the next few days and see it with friends soon. Hopefully more to talk about will come soon, then.
-and now for something completely different in the next post-
I’ve seen Holy Grail, Life of Brian and Spamalot, Spamalot not officially being Monty Python but maybe it is.
I’ve seen MP&THG more times than I can count (and I can practically recite it, too) (not quite though), and I saw quite a few episodes of the Flying Circus.
…You must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest… WITH… A HERRING!
Spam, spam, spam, spam
Spam, spam, spam, spam
Lovely spam!
Wonderful spam!
I don’t know if I’m allowed to see any of them. Maybe I should ask about The Holy Grail…I certainly want to!
I’ve seen The Holy Grail, The Life of Brian (shh, don’t tell my mother), and a couple random Flying Circus thingys. I’ve also seen an episode or two of Faulty Towers, which (I think) has the same guy or two in it.
Ni!
(8) That is indeed John Cleese in Fawlty Towers, which he also wrote with his then wife, Connie Booth.
I’ve seen tons of Flying Circus episodes, Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and the first half of Meaning of Life. Plus Spamalot and a lot of assorted things on YouTube.
I used to quote MP excessively, but now the TiVo doesn’t record it anymore so I can’t refresh my quote stock. Um…
Holy Grail, Meaning of Life (which my mother has since commandeered because it contained questionable content. Hello? I’ve already seen it…), all of Flying Circus (I have it on DVD!)
the only problem is that, after a theard, EVERONE expects the spanish inquisition.
I saw MP&THG a few times and now I have the ballad of sir robin on my mp3player. It’s pretty funny, the expressions on my friends faces when they hear that. Then they usually shake their heads and walk off. *sighs*
I’ve seen the Holy Grail a bunch of times because I have it on DVD. I also have 2 seasons of skits.
You mean to tell me that you were playing doubles with 5 people, while on the very next court a blancmonge was playing by itself?
It’s mummy!
Hello mummy!
No Mummy’s been turned into a Scotsman!
I LURVE Monty Python!
“We will save “Ni” to you, if you do not appease us!”
12-i’ve never been to a theard. are they nice?
wow, thread #116 to thread #1140. Except that i seriously doubt we’ve had 1140 threads. have we?
“We are now no longer the knights who say Ni!”
“Ni!”
“Ssh. We are now the knights who say…Ecky-ecky-ecky p-tang zoing mumble mumble”
“Ni!”
“O knights who… formerly said Ni…”
According to online sources better informed than I am, what the knights said instead of Ni (officially, anyway) was “Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-pikang-zoop-boing-goodem-zoo-owli-zhiv.”
Actually, it’s “Oh knights who until recently said Ni.” I think.
17-that sounds about right. it’s been a while.
It’s funny that penguin being there innit? What’s it doing there?
Standing.
I can see that!
2- Except I’d have had to interlibrary loan it, and wait forever for it to come. So I went to a video rental place. The video rental place didn’t have it, though. It’s like I give off some anti-movie field. Life of Brian? Someone stole it, nobody asked for it so it wasn’t replaced. Anything other than Holy Grail by Monty Python? Nope, sorry, either taken out or nonexistent. Gattaca? Stolen more recently. Princess Bride? Sure, but use one side of the disc because the other half is scratched. </offtopic>
13- Me too. The reaction is somewhere between wtf and awesome, depending who you try it with. Except if/when you tried that with me, I would most likely respond with something like: Hey! It’s Brave Sir Robin! I love this song! I have it on my iPod! *sings along*
Aaaah! It’s the killer rabbit, but it’s hot pink!
*runs*
13, 20-speaking as somebody who has just about everything they did musically on her ipod…(i got a cd of eric idle singing stuff for christmas, plus i have spamalot and have done somewhat extensive frostwiring), my friends actually don’t find it terribly odd. usually they’re begging for copies
either that or they say “oh cool, yeah, i have that too!”\
but i have odd friends
Robert (17): I memorized that once, but it appears that I have forgotten it again. ::reads over and over to memorize it again::
I’ve seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, a few Flying Circus episodes, and many random YouTube clips.
*sneaks onto thread*
*is attacked by knights who don’t say “Ni” anymore and penguins who stand a whole bunch*
*hastily clicks submit and shuts down computor*
I have seen/own MP&tHG, and have seen many skits on YouTube.
It is your friend.
Yes, very much so.
“What’s that thing on the telly?”
“It’s a penguin.”
“What’s it doing on the telly?”
“It’s not doing anything…”
this does not relate to monty python but dodecahedron (? i think it was you) found the h2g2 radio show online! it’s on my ipod now
BLANCMANGES PLAYING TENNIS!!! i think when i first saw that episode i laughed so hard i cried. that was the scotsmen episode, i think.
I haven’t seen Life of Brian, because it’s R.
Not that I haven’t seen an R movie before… but my parents were like NO NEVER AGAIN.
I’ve seen many episodes of Flying circus, Monty python and the holy grail, and a few episodes of Fawlty towers.
“Brave sir robin ran away…”
“I didn’t!”
*does the flish slapping dance*
The Spam sketch isn’t all that funny, I think. It’s just a bunch of random Vikings and some fat guy dressed up in pink yelling about spam.
Spam, sausage, spam, spam, bacon, spam, tomato, and spam.
I’ve seen Holy Grail, plus many many random skits from youtube, and Spamalot.
I have the soundtracks to both Spamalot and Holy Grail on my iPod… Along with various other random things.
Although, to be perfectly honest, I’m slightly more fond of “A Bit of Fry and Laurie”. *ducks pies and fish slaps*
Say no more, say no more, nudge nudge, wink wink, know what I mean? Know what I mean?
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
I haven’t seen a whole bunch of Monty Python, except for this one commercial where this guy was whacking another guy with a small fish and then the other guy took out a huge fish and knocked him into the water.
I laughed because it was so unexpected, not because it was particularly funny.
Oh, and I saw this fake/real lion and a gigantic penguin. Does anyone know where these are from?
I’ve seen the meaning of life and The Life of Brian. Each of these twice.
28-Yeah. That was the first Flying Circus episode I ever saw, I think, and nearly died laughing…
9-Ahhhhhhhhh. And one day I’ll remember how to spell that…
33 – Aha! *fish slaps you, Beavo.*
I had something to say earlier, but of course I forgot what it was.
36-I YouTubed “fish slapping” and got the fish slapping dance. It made me smile uncontrolably, and at the worst moment because my dad asked me if I wanted eggs for dinner. And I was grinning like an idiot at him. He was weirded out.
32-DUDE!
i haven’t seen you in ages! Have i just been blind, or did you leave for a really long time?
39- I’ve been on, just under “TNÖ” instead of lilbro. I was on a different computer and didn’t notice the different name until I hit submit (naturally).
I have seen every episode ever made of Flying Circus, and I shall tell you that it just wasn’t the same after John Cleese left. But my personal favorite (and idol) is Eric Idle. My sister is rather fond of Graham Chapman.
I think the Sci-fi sketch is one of the more brilliant products of their lunacy. I mean, it’s not one that you exactly crack up at, you just sort of watch it and think “what in the name of cracked flowerpots is going on?”
I am a HUGE Monty Python fan. So is my dad. He’s the one who first showed me Monty Python and the Holy Grail when i was 6! I understood more of the humor than you might think at that age. I have several older brothers.
40-aah, i need to keep up with the name changes more.
43-
31 – ok, fine.
“Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”
HPG-hot pink gremlin
46-*large eyes*
Although that should have gone on the “Incredible beasts of Musica” thread…
“Give the rack a turn!”
“But, sir, I can’t…”
“I know, I know, I didn’t want to say anything!”
I really love Monty Python! i didn’t even know we had a thread!
I own all of the skits plus the holy grail. I haven’t seen anytihng else, though.
“(something like) Oh, it’s so good to see you!” ( I’m not sure what’s actually said here)
“You said it! I said it! I said it again!”
I quote this endlessly with my friend, and we always laugh really hard. (we always just say IT to start it off, which is why I’m not sure of the starter quote.) Another of our favorite lines is the herring line. Another skit I love is the Olympic Hide-and-seek finals.
stop! Who would cross the bridge of death must answer me these questions three ere the other side he see!
What is your name?
What is your quest?
What is your favorite color?
50- OK.
51- Sir Posoc.
52- To find the Holy Grail.
53- Grurple.
My name is… hey! Are you some sort of stalker?
To get across this damn bridge.
The color of your face when I throw you into space.
I would hereby like to report that I, Otzi, cut down my family’s Christmas tree, thus covering myself in mud, pine needles, and sap.
Guess which song I sang!
I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK,
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees
I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatr’y
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’
and have buttered scones for tea!
48 – Bring in The Comfy Chair!!!
I love Python!!!!!!!!
57 – Prod her with the soft cushions!!
The Holy Grail is my favorite movie ever!
Last year for Halloween, I dressed up as Patsy and my friend was King Arthur. I had real coconut halves (and still do!). Most kids had no idea who we were, which depressed me!
I should make the aforementioned friend subscribe to Muse and comment on here.
what’s the speed of a unladened swallow?
51- Alice.
52- That’s a really good question.
53- Blue.
Bring me a shrubbery!
(59) The Q&A column answered that question almost eight years ago.
61- I know that. but it is from monty python.
does anyone know why that’s there name?
My dad let me borrow his edited Monty Python and the Flying Circus on tape, so I do not feel so alone now!
But I really liked it. My dad also says that the movies are bad, and my mom doesn’t like them.
Always look on the bright side of life!
59- that’s airspeed velocity, but whatever.
64- always look on the bright side of death!
just before you draw your terminal breath!
lol.
I have the album of the soundtrack of the trailer of the film of monty python and the holy grail on my iPod *is obsessed* it’s very useful for annoying people, especially the knights of Ni and the french persons – “I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hampster, and your father smelt of elderberries!”
ha! ha! ha! (diabolic laughter)
:idea:TNÖ:idea:
Can we start a Mel Brooks thread? He’s sort in the same vein as Monty Python. Anybody for some Frahnkenshteen?
But yes, MP&THG tops them all. And everyone, i mean, EVERYONE, knows at least one line from that movie, even if they’ve never seen it.
(62, TMFA) Names considered before “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” won out: Arthur Megapode’s Cheap Show; Arthur Megapode’s Zoo; E. L. Moist’s Flying Circus; The Horrible Earnest Megapode; Megapode’s Atomic Circus; The Venus de Milo Panic Show; Whither Canada; Owl Stretching Time; Toad Elevating Moment; Baron Von Took’s Flying Circus; A Horse, a Spoon and a Basin; Bunn, Wackett, Buzzard, Stubble and Boot.
At some point they liked the idea of calling the show “It’s…” without a title.
As is usually the case in these matters, the exact origin of the name is rather fuzzy.
According to Michael Palin, “Python” came up during a discussion at John Cleese’s flat. “…once we’d got Python…we just liked the idea of somebody Python–Bob Python, Brian, Keith Python, I’m sure Julian Davigdor and Tristram Python came up. But in the end someone said ‘Monty Python’ and it sounded very funny. […] And the BBC’s reaction was ‘Well, we don’t know what it means, but I think you’ll find that in years to come it’ll be remembered as ‘The Flying Circus,’ so if you want to call it ‘Monty Python’ that’s fair enough. Because they’d been pushing for ‘Flying Circus,’ that was our compromise.”
According to Terry Jones, “We were sitting round and Eric said, ‘Shouldn’t it be some sort of seedy showbiz agent? Something like Monty?’ Then John said, ‘How about something nasty like a python,’ and we said, ‘Monty Python.’ We said, ‘Yeah, spot on.’ I went back home and told my brother, ‘We’ve got a title for the show, we’re going to call it ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus.’ And he said, ‘It’ll never catch on.’ ” Graham Chapman thought he came up with “Monty.”
Information from The Pythons Autobiography by the Pythons
*turns into a giant hedgehog*
“DISDALE! DISDALE! DISDALE!”
Do I want to know?
*ponders*
Naw, I don’t wanna know.
68: It’s “DINSDALE”, actually
68 – Run! Its Spiny Norman!
69 – No, you don’t.
I like the halibut sketch, when John wants a license for his pet fish, Eric.
“You’ve got an halibut?”
“Yes. I chose him out of thousands. I didn’t like the others, they were all too flat.”
We’re knights of the Round Table,
We dance whene’er we’re able,
We do routines, and chorus scenes,
With footwork impeccable!
We dine well here in Camelot,
We eat ham and jam and spamalot!
*prance about on tables and knock over food and waiters*
Go on YouTube and search “star trek meets monty python” and there is one really good one to this song!
Did you know John made a series after called “The Human Face”?
Its really cool and talks about facial expressions, beauty, why famous people have to look good, and a lot of other stuff.
(71, Turquoise) My mom once bought a whole salmon, which we promptly dubbed “Eric.” My college roommate came to visit, and we said “wouldn’t this be an appropriate occasion to cook Eric?” My mom was quite the Python fan and immediately picked up with, “oh, yes, Eric’s still in the freezer,” and so on and on it went.
Meanwhile, poor Lynn had no idea what we were talking about. I’m not sure she was any more enlightened after we took pity and explained. At least she was relieved to know Eric was a fish. Dinners at home could be incomprehensible to outsiders once we became Python addicts.
Also incomprehensible to my dad, come to think.
My brother got a stuffed penguin for his birthday, which he promptly perched atop our TV set. When people visited us, they’d see it from a distance, and ask “What’s that on the TV?”… You can guess what would happen next. Heeheehee!
I should name my rabbit, mouse, and chickens Eric! They have pretty much no names right now.
My cousin’s fiancee runs a video store, and my cousin once told me that John Cleese walked in to rent a video! And they got his autograph! Apparently his daughter lives in Arizona, where this happened.
75 – you could be really inventive, and invoke the spirit of Python rather than simply copying it. All you need to do is make your pets’ names iconically inappropriate. It’s easier if your pet happens to be a halibut, but it’s not impossible to undermine more mainstream fauna. I rather fancy a chicken called Geoff. Geoff the Chicken. It’s just – wrong.
Anyone have further suggestions?
I didn’t expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.
*runs away and hides*
*grabs Kari, drags her to the dungeon, and puts her in The Comfy Chair (Not The Comfy Chair!!)*
then you’d be arthur “no sheds” jackson, eh?
I got a collection of the whole flying circus for christmas! fuhuhahahahahaaa!
I don’t choose one person to be all the time. That would get boring.
Yay! I just saw The Holy Grail last night!
*bliss*
The skip-nessacery scene was skipped.
76- Charles the iguana?
82 – Pretty good, IMHO.
Charles the Iguana РI like it. Delightfully incongruous. But iguanas are rather impressive creatures, so you may want to consider something more wimpy or pass̩ to really clash with the image. Postlethwaite, perhaps, or Dirk?
Nigel.
84 – Nigel the Iguana. Now, that’s truly inspired.
(86) “Nigel the Iguana” — wasn’t that the working title of a play by Tennessee Williams ? The plot altered significantly along the way, as I recall, hence the change in title….
*seeks help from Atrocious Puns Anonymous*
85- An iguana…named Nigel. *heeheeheehee*
And Charles can be the Budgerigar.
I’m now obsessed with watching the “Spam, spam spam spam spamity spam, spam spam spam” on Youtube.
I have seen Yhe meaning of life (that is a true work of madness..oh its great!) and the holy grail
what else floats on water?
A DUCK A DUCK
so if she is the same as a duck she is a…
A WITCH!!! A WITCH!!! BURN HER!!!
oh the great joys
WITH NASTY SHARP POINTY TEETH

idea:
Carl, we’re all a little mystified by your claim that your new film stars Marilyn Monroe.
It does, yes.
Who died over 10 years ago.
Oh, well, that’s correct.
Are you lying?
No, no. It’s just that she’s very much in the public eye at the moment.
Does she have a big part?
She is the star of the film.
And dead?
Well, we, we dug her up and gave her a screen test, only in formaliity in her case, and uhhhhhhh…….
Can she still act?
Well, she still has this enormous, kind of indefinable, uh, no
Was decomposition a problem?
We did have to put her in the fridge between takes.
What sorts of things does she do in the film?
Well, we, we had her lying on beds, lying on floors, falling out of cupboards, scaring the children…….
But surely Ms. Monroe was cremated?
Well, uh, we had to use a standin for some of the more visible shots.
Ah. Another actress.
Dead actress. But Monroe was in shot the whole time.
How?
Oh, in the ashtray, in the fire grate, in the vacume cleaner……
So Marilyn does not appear in the film
Not as such.
Where are all of the Monty Pythoners?
92- The managment of this theater wish to announce that they have recieved certain information to suggest that there may be a bomb located on the premises. Patrons are requested to evacuate this theater as quickly as possible
While evacuating, the audience may wish to avail themselves of the extensive range of facilities offered in our foyer sales display: soft drinks, chocolates, end-up boiled sweets, a variety of dairy ice cream-
BOOM!
-hot dogs, roast penuts, old copies of newsweek, big prophylactics, Dublin, broken glass…
93- I’m here!
Ooh! Broken glass! I’ll take some of that, how much?
93- Aquì!
Oh, OK.
“We are now the knights who say eckieckieckieckipucongzoobong!”
Eckieckieckieckipucongzoobong! Eckieckieckieckipucongzoobong!
I do apologize that I am late, but my walks have been getting sillier and sillier recently, so it takes me longer and longer to get to work.
93 – Here!
Now instead of “holy cow!” I say “holy grail!”
I hope to confuse people.
oops. sorry we’re late. 77-No one expects the spanish inquisition!!!!
The other day at dinner my mom said “Did you sit in Dad’s comfy chair?”
“COMFY CHAIR! *cracks up*”
Yeah. She just ignored my reaction.
“If you want to get anything done in this country, you’ve got to complain ’til you’re blue in the mouth.”
SPAMALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Lancelot says the regular. Italics indicate the call back!)
“I don’t know what it’s been said”
“I don’t know what it’s been said”

“In suspenders and a bra!”
“In suspenders and a bra!?”
yes. spamalot. Eric Idle’s commercialized Monty python works
Serious quotation post:
“Oh yes, the Norweigan Blue, what’s wrong with it?”
“I’ll tell you what’s wrong with it. It’s dead, that’s what’s wrong with it.”
“Beuatiful plumage, inn’it?”
“The plumage don’t enter into it. It’s stone dead.”
“I wish to make a complaint.”
“I don’t ‘ave to do this, you know!”
“I beg pardon?”
“I’m a qualified brain surgeon! I only do this ’cause I like being me own boss.”
“LOOK! I came in here for an argument!”
“Oh! Oh, I’m sorry, this is Abuse!”
“I’ve ‘ad enough of this.”
“No you haven’t.”
“Oh, shut up.”
“I want to complain-”
“You want to complain, look at these shoes, I’ve only ‘ad ’em three weeks and the heels are worn right through.”
“No, I want to complain about-”
“If you complain, nothing happens, you might as well not bother, and my back hurts, and it’s not a very fine day.”
“FLYING FOX OF THE YARD?!”
“Shut up! *whap*”
“Ooowh!”
“No no no, WAAAAH!”
“And you! *whap*”
“WAAAAH!”
“”e’s good! You could learn a thing or two from him!”
“Right… Two, always saying ‘It’s so-and-so of the yard’ everytime the fuzz arrives.”
“Have you got any, he asked, expecting the answer no.”
“I’ll have a look, sir… nnnnnnnnnnnnnno.”
“Have you got- WILL YOU SHUT THAT BLOODY DANCIN’ UP!?!”
These guys are genius. If they crossed Monty Python with Calvin and Hobbes, I think I might die of laughter.
Holy Grail quotes:
We’re knights of the round table
we dance whenever ‘e’re able
we do routines with chorus scenes and footwork impeCAble
we dine well here in camelot, we eat ham and jam and spam alot
we’re kotrd
our shows are formidable
but many times we’re given rhymes that are quite unsingable
we’re opera mad in camelot, we sign from the diaphragm a looooooooooooooooooooot
In war we’re tough and able
quite indefatigable
between our quests we sequin vests and impersonate clark gable
it’s a busy life in camelot-
I have to push the pram a lot
On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
“Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?”
“Not at all! They could be carried!”
“What? A swallow carrying a coconut??”
“It could grip it by the husk!”
“It’s not a question o’ where ‘e grips it. It’s a simple question of weight ratios! A five-ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut!”
“Listen, in order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat it’s wings 43 times every second, right?”
“PLEASE!”
“Am I right?”
“What do you do with witches?”
“BURN ‘EM!!!”
“And what do you burn apart from witches?”
“More witches!”
“Good idea, o’lord!”
“‘COURSE IT’S A GOOD IDEA!”
“Iiiii fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!”
“Who leaps out?”
“Lancelot, Gallahad, and I, leap out of the rabbit and-”
*groan*
“It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That one burned down fell over then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up!”
“As the horendus black beast lunged foward, escape for arthur and his knights seemed hopeless, when SUDDENLY the animator suffered a fatal heart-attack!”
“What is your favorite color?”
“Blue!”
“Right, off you go.”
PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT WHILE THE OPERATOR CHANGES REELS.
CALVIN AND MONTY PYTHON!!! GENIUS!
I have seen Monty Python And The Holy Grail, except for The Tale Of Sir Galahad. My parents fast-forwarded through that part because apparently it wasn’t “suitable”. My favorite parts are the killer bunny, Thy Holy Hand Grenade, the Trojan Rabbit, the witch trial…actually, I liked the whole thing.
109- Well, it isn’t suitable, not very. Lots of References, if you know what I mean. It used to make me terribly uncomfortable, but then I went to school and became Hardened to such References so now I only squirm a little bit.
Surprisingly(and luckily for many MBers now able to watch it), that scene was toned down from the original script.
I like Holy Grail and the World’s Funniest Joke and Argument sketches.
I like the Upper- Class Twit of the Year Championship sketch.
A selection of my favourite sketches in no particular order:
Cheese Shop
World’s Funniest Joke
Upper-Class Twit of the Year Championship
How to Not Be Seen
Twin Peaks of Kilimanjaro
Bishop on the Landing
Minister for Overseas Development
Novel Writing
Background to History, Part Four
World War Noises
Dead Parrot
Alter-a-Pet
Argument Clinic
Ministry for Silly Walks
The rest of them
I just found “Monty Python and the Meaning of Life” in my video cabernet. On the back, it proudly proclaimed, “It took God 6 days to create life, and Monty Python 1 hour and 48 minutes to screw it up.”
Not their best.
115- I know, I just liked the back.
I’ve only seen pieces of it on youtube, but I love it.
Has anyone heard of the Contractual Obligation Album?
A friend of mine and his brother used to go around singing “I Bet You They Won’t Play This Song On the Radio.” Plus, they spent some time re-enacting the Spanish Inquisition. Yup, those were good times.
I love the Cheese Shop skit.
…What a senseless waste of human life.
109 – Yeah, same with me. My dad skipped that part, but I liked – no, LOVED the rest.
118 – Especially when *music* WILL YOU SHUT THAT BLOODY DANCING UP?! Where was I?
“Two people- three people have just fallen past that window!”
“Must be a board meeting!”
“Oh, yeah.”
*guy falls by* “That was wilkins of finance.”
“No that was robertson.”
“Wilkins.”
“Robertson.”
“Wilkins!”
“Robertson!”
*guy falls by* togther: “That was Wilkins.”
Hey, I didn’t expect some kind of Spanish Inquisition!
120 – You should know better than to say that around here…
I love quoting them.
“Have you got any, he asked, expecting the answer no?”
“I’ll have a look sir… nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.”
“Oh, well do I get the job?”
“Well, I’m afraid not, I’m afraid all the vacancies were filled several weeks ago- PHAAAAHAHAHAHA!” *keeps laughing*
Yayz – Monty Python has their own youtube channel! No more ripping them off!
“One, Two, Five!”
“Three sir”
“THREE!!”
*throws the holy hand grenade*
124 – Lol, that was funny, it’s like *chorus sin-* “BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”
124.”..to blow thy enemies to tiny bits with no (or whatever the word is) mercy!”
Alleluia! There is a Monty Python thread!! *Does happy skippy dance* *pies due to excitement*
Have you ever noticed that a lot of Spam is featured in Monty Python? “..we eat ham and jam and Spam a lot..” There is also a whole skit about a restaurant that serves Spam and not much else.
“It’s just a flesh wound, have at you!”
Sorry for the double post, but I just remembered something of extreme importance!
Spamalot is coming to Chicago!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE! Does anyone know what it’s about? Hmmmmm….
Yep. I have not seen it but it was up here last year(or was it the year before that). My father said it was inapropriet, so we didn’t go.
It is more or less the holy grail, I think…
126 – “Right, I’ll do you for that!” XD
128.
Yayz! Holy Grail? Whoo! Inappropriate? Methinks we can work around that…..
“She turned me into a newt! I got better…”
Found this in an HP FanFic…
Harry looked down as an Mmail appeared from Fred. He read it quickly and shrugged. “Yeah?†he taunted, “Well, your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time.â€
Voldemort looked both taken aback and quite puzzled at what Harry had shouted at him.
“Pull!†George shouted. Harry turned to see Arthur pull the lever releasing the arm of the trebuchet. An object flew high into the sky, mooing loudly. As everyone watched it with a sense of surreal disbelief, it landed in the middle of the Death Eaters, crushing one completely.
“George,†Harry said slowly, “did you just hurl a large, live cow at the Death Eaters?â€
George nodded and looked very pleased with himself. “It’s a Muggle tradition,†he explained solemnly. “All battles begin with taunting and a cow hurled by trebuchet.â€
Harry stared at him for a long moment. “And just who, pray tell, told you that?â€
“Hermione, of course! We figured we’d insult the Dark Tosser by doing things the Muggle way, so we asked her for details. She was great! She made us visual guides and everything.â€
“Was it a real cow?â€
