Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Mar 05 - 08:30 PM As PT knows, I absolutely hate "best" lists because most of what I really like ends up in a tie for first. And do songs count? No...Have to be another category entirely...... As I read this thread the one thing of which I am absolutely sure is this: A lot of us have spent some very significant portions of our lives watching the Pythons and large portions of our brains are taken up with complete, verbatim, sketches! But we all love comedy don't we? I remember the time I responded to something written here with, "I think we're all Bozos on this bus," and a zillion Firsign Theater addicted 'Catters zoomed in and took over the thread.......... LOL......Gawd, what a place this is......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: GUEST,fullerton Date: 25 Mar 05 - 08:35 PM Does any one remember a monty python sketch where a man used an infra red tv remote contol. He points it at the TV and presses buttons. Whereupon a character in Indian attire ( turban etc. ) jumped out from behind the sofa, runs across the room and changes the TV channel over. I remember the sketch from my youth but have never seen it in subsequent reruns. Yes TV remotes DID exist in the early seventies though they were a real luxury item - I used one at a naturist sauna that I used to attend...... but thaaaaaats a different story!!! Anyone else remember this? Might be worth a new thread. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: HuwG Date: 25 Mar 05 - 04:30 AM The "Four Yorkshiremen" was never shown as part of the TV series, as far as I remember. I believe it was performed on stage at Drury Lane Theatre, and was recorded as part of the LP "Monty Python live at Drury Lane". Likewise, the "Last Supper" sketch was banned by the BBC on religious grounds and never shown. It was performed as part of the Amnesty International benefit show, "Pleasure at Her Majesty's", and featured Jonathon Lynn as Michaelangelo and John Cleese as the Pope. The Pythons did indeed show some brilliant individual sketches, but in both the TV series and their films ("Monty Python and the Holy Grail", and "Life of Brian"), what made them immortally funny was the insane but coherent continuity between the sketches. ("Meaning of Life" perhaps pushed things artificially a little too far but the musical sketch "Every sperm is sacred" deserves a medal on its own.) |

Ahhh, to be young and stupid again. |
