Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: ToulouseCruise Date: 13 May 05 - 11:59 AM On a variation of the Parrot Sketch.... About 5 yrs ago, I was watching Saturday Night Live, with people who I have since forgotten as the host and musical guests. About halfway through, suddenly on the screen are Cleese and Palin -- performing the Parrot Sketch! Live, unannounced, the crowd goes nuts!!! Only, it kinda went like this.... Mr. Praline: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint. (The owner does not respond.) Mr. Praline: 'Ello, Miss? Owner: What do you mean "miss"? Mr. Praline: {pause} I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint! Owner: We're closin' for lunch. Mr. Praline: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique. Owner: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it? Mr. Praline: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it! Owner: Oh, all right then -- here you go! Mr. Praline: Oh, thank you very much. -- They then left the stage. The live audience was in shock, then realized that was it, and went completely ballistic with applause. The Pythons didn't even come back out for the on-stage finish at the end of the show... was very Pythonesque... Brian (still living Life of) |

In fact today I think I'll have a French Tickler, for I am a Protestant...' |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: The Walrus Date: 06 Apr 05 - 07:24 PM What annoys me is that Channel 4 ran a poll for the 'Funniest TV Comedy Sketch' and the Spanish Inquistion only came second. First place went to some drivvel from 'Little Britain' which may have been amuzing first time but certainly didn't stand up to repeating. Walrus. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: GUEST,Damian - www.montypythonpages.com Date: 06 Apr 05 - 05:38 PM The sketches cannot be listed by author because of the way the Pythons worked. On many, many occasions one of them would create a sketch, another would suggest a change and another would add a bit. Or sometimes they would completely rework someone else's sketch. Or combine two sketches into something different. Or, or, or . . . . In addition to that, there are disputes over who wrote what. Some of the team remember things one way, others another. All in all, there aren't too many sketches which can be claimed with 100% certainty as being written by just one Python. |

Subject: RE: BS: Best Monty Python sketch: 'No one... From: Ragman Date: 01 Apr 05 - 09:57 AM I'm sure at one time there was a sketch with elements similar to the "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition" where a gang of bishops and priests burst in to a baptism in progress shouting "Don't baptize that ...". there is an explosion then the head 'bishop' states in a New York gangland accent "We was too late...". The thing that attracted me to it at the time was that is was preceeded by some wonderful cartoon titles, with dramatic music, very reminiscent of Danger Man, which was also cult tv at the time. One of the titles was a caption "CofE Enterprises Presents...". I have the feeling that this may have only been broadcast once and it offended the Church of England (CofE) so much that it was never shown again. Does anyone else remember this, or am have I dreamed it up? |
