When I played this video for my GF, a philosophy major, she nearly fell off the sofa, holding her sides with laughter. Brilliant, smart comedy.

"if we didn't have crucifixion this place would be in a right bloody mess" Considering the state of a lot of places before the Romans showed up he's not entirely wrong. Say what you want about it but nailing a man to a cross sent a message about what was and wasn't tolerated by Rome.

The Judean People’s League would never allow this.

What is genius about this is how did they come up with the whole idea. And some one give the ref a white stick Socrates was a mile offside

Nobody expected this

Shower of spit flying out of Tim's mouth is a cherry on the cake.

Spam spam spam egg and spam

Aahh...the fresh air and religion at its best.

It would do every philosopher very well to spend some time in charge of a sheep dip.

I'm watching a sketch about SPAM while cooking SPAM for a breakfast sandwich with SPAM and additional SPAM for a lunch meal with SPAM and SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM

I've known of this meme for decades, finally watched a clip but didn't find it that funny. Pretty meh

Some farcical aquatic ceremony 😂😂😂

"Joke-proof conditions"

This scene secured my vote for Trump.

The look Mathias gives Cleese after he calls him a BLASPHEMER! is priceless! 😂

Spam

Best scene in the movie

1:34 : "You don't KNOEWWWWWW!" lol.

​@peterubbels2385 Many do not say that those who colonized the United States were Protestant Christians and were the ones who wiped out the Indians. Well, people of peace they were not...nnn

Even after 50-odd years this is still funny.

What happened to the bus ?

Predicted

Yippee, I am commenter number 666 :) .

Who else is here because of the portrait of King Charles III?

pure genius comedy - never again to be repeated.

“Poke her with the soft cushions!”

Absolutely brilliant and many of us know all their sketches off by heart ... but how the hell did they come up with them in the first place ? Complete and utter genius if mildly fruitloop 🙂

also ich bin deutscher und ich verstehe den witz, also mal ehrlich, dieser dieser witz war total schl - ah hahahahahah hahahahahaha aaaaah hahahaha! ... ... ... ...

He forgot the name of his character on the set so he just said Tim 😂

Say, has anyone noticed that one of the cross beams gone out skill on the triddle?

The full episode of about 1/2 hour of this MP, with the Spanish Inquisition, is my favourite of them all. The usual collage of bizarre skits somehow just come together in this episode and something that has no business working, actually works, abstract as it is, into a cohesive whole. Not far, perhaps, from 10000 monkeys hitting various keys on keyboards that eventually, given enough time, come up with Hamlet. The common thread. You can do quite a bit with the common thread.

Ha hahaha 😂😂😂😂

That main Cardinal looks like he would really enjoy the word "Nee"

I must say I did not expect that

I am a Monty Python fan, but i just didnt find this funny

Came from the ECHR parody, this is glorious

I didn't expect this to be the only full version I could find here. Now only if the sound was much better.

"Now, unrighteous creature...[Cardinal Biggels pokes her with the soft cushions] Confess! Confess!

Mr. Sark brought me here. NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

Exactly as Ridiculous! 😂

Palin is a legend

Still one of the greatest sketches ever

This is how you do a cutaway gag properly. Take notes Family Guy.

*The final part of this skit:* - How did you become king then? - The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. That is why I'm your king. - Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony. - Be quiet! - Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. - Shut up! - Oh, but if I went 'round saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away. - Shut up, will you? Shut up! - Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system. - Shut up! - Oh... come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I'm being repressed! - Bloody peasant! - Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about. Did you see him repressing me? You saw it, didn't you? *FULL BREAKDOWN (by ChatGPT):* 1. *Absurdity of Authority:* The skit immediately highlights the absurdity of traditional systems of authority and governance. King Arthur's claim to the throne based on a divine encounter with the Lady of the Lake is juxtaposed with the common sense assertion by Dennis that true executive power comes from the consent of the governed, not from mystical ceremonies. 2. *Satirical Commentary:* The dialogue serves as a satire on the concept of divine right of kings and the idea that leadership can be determined through mystical or arbitrary means rather than through democratic principles. 3. *Role Reversal:* The exchange between King Arthur and Dennis subverts the typical power dynamic between ruler and subject. Instead of deference, Dennis challenges Arthur's legitimacy, highlighting the absurdity of basing authority on a singular, subjective event. 4. *Ridicule of Authority Figures:* King Arthur's frustration with Dennis's insistence on democratic principles leads to his attempts to silence him, demonstrating the tendency of authority figures to suppress dissenting voices rather than engage in reasoned debate. 5. *Social Commentary:* The skit also offers social commentary on the nature of power and oppression. Dennis's cries for help and accusations of repression highlight the struggle of marginalized individuals against oppressive systems of authority. 6. *Humor Through Absurdity:* The humor of the skit arises from the absurdity of the situation and the juxtaposition of grandiose language with mundane characters and settings. The escalation of the absurdity, from Dennis's initial skepticism to his dramatic cries for help, adds to the comedic effect. Overall, the Monty Python skit uses humor to critique traditional systems of authority and highlight the importance of democratic principles and the consent of the governed.

One of Monty Python's more dank sketches. 😅

This scene is just any given online comment section. It's perfect.

There's no audio!
