Eric Idle Responds to Your Fatuous Comments, Round #2

[@isaactalisman9311]

Eric: "He's not quite dead yet.." Me: "HE CAN DANCE AND HE CAN SING.."

[@crgkevin6542]

The way Eric Idle pronounces "pointed stick" in the Self Defense Against Fresh Fruit Sketch had always been entertaining to me....

[@timwilderspin]

Yes! it's a nice exaggerated Welsh accent that.

[@liric3236]

What if he comes at you with a point-ed stick?

[@primerprime596]

Liric Shut up!

[@SteveC935]

@@liric3236 Tell him alright, but he has to pay in advance AND buy you dinner first.

[@Auros2525]

‎"I'm not a doctor, but I do have a basic gynecological knowledge." Priceless.

[@CarterBartram]

His voice has not changed a bit since the 80s

[@solomonoh7769]

So is Michael Palin's

[@Noaddedfluff22]

'What's wrong with you guys, Bush wasn't bad enough?!' I love him.

0:54 I thought for one hopeful moment he was going to say "ask ya missus to do that then aye...know what I mean..nude nudge".

[@LukesEnglishPodcast]

Will The Rutles ever reunite?

[@generalerica4123]

Kidnapping a gardener? Probably attacked him with a point-Ed stick^^

[@SuperAwesomeVidya]

Your funny, ever thought about doing comedy?

[@pricehunnemanovic9527]

Well you sound like a comedian yourself. Ever thought of going into the business? (Retorical question) :)

[@DrDespicable]

*You're - ever thought about doing grammar?

[@TheMikeyTelevision]

Eric Idle... You are seriously one of my heros! Every time I feel down I just think of all the funny lines that you have said in your wonderful career. And then I go about my pityful excuse of a life. Thank you for making me to always look on the bright side of life!

[@Quantumfluxfield]

2:33 "Mojoboy who the fck are you?" hahaha

[@Poisoncandy25]

My dad grew up on Monty Python as a kid and even though i watched the movies when i was really young, i never understood them... but as I've gotten older and started watching the Flying Circus series I've fallen in love with the greatest comedy group in the world. thank you for giving me joy and making me look stupid with my friends while reciting the jokes with them. i love you guys so much ^^

[@Captain192]

Hahaha, I love how he just builds up in the Palin part starting at, about 3:05. Brilliant. Best of luck guys, great to see you all still making people laugh!

[@_chew_]

"I have a great interest in the female anatomy" know what I mean? know what I mean? wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!

[@AlexDeLarge1]

I love how all of the Pythons' ideas of 'punishment' are taken straight out of medieval times. Burn them and dump them in the Thames, that's how I would imagine Edward Longshanks would have taken care of someone.

[@videogamenostalgia]

'I had to sleep with Dan Akyord- which was a big job actually just getting on top of him' OOOOOOH! Harsh burn. I hope Dan comes back with a response video!

[@Lepper36]

A lot of bloody weirdos in the comments trying to get noticed nowadays.

[@InfiniteIndustries]

This is wonderful, you have the performer (cleese) the historian (idle) the writer (palin) and gilliam! So great to have the originals back!!!

[@eccodonna]

Phantastic Eric Idle! My favorit Python because of the beautiful singing. And even as he gets older, he is the most handsome!

[@rappingbagel]

The first time my dad ever showed me Monty Python, I had such a crush on Eric Idle, and he's still amazing!

[@DoctorX42]

Loved this, sincerely hope they do more. And since apparently, we ask our comedy heroes video game tips now, how WERE you supposed to get the damned Babel Fish in your ear?

[@hollyanne4562]

...Is it bad that I prefer some of the Pythons to people that I know personally?

[@gwouru]

nope, the Pythons are hilarious, all of them. I doubt your friends are that funny, otherwise they'd be famous too!

[@hollyanne4562]

True, true...

[@adventuressurvivalinthailand]

Wolfe Wright with respect a lot of talented people don't get " famous"

[@smolmoonpearl6660]

Saaame.

[@mikearchibald744]

But that could be because you don't know any of the pythons personally:)

[@jetpackman01]

Blame Cleese for all these annoying comments, he taught us how to irritate people.

[@amyjones637]

I thought we were just going to blame him for posting them XD

[@borhaptrash5454]

Good Sir, it’s been 8 years and I hope you’re doing well. I indeed agree that Sir Cleese is to blame for these irritating comments which are irritatingly irritating. And yet, he taugt us in a fascinating way how you can irritate people in such a fascinatingly irritating fashion, that it fascinates and irritates at the time time which is very fascinating and irritating. Hope you’re having great day sir.

[@ClaudiaGonzalezKinkyFloyd]

I don't know what happened

[@JC7Musica]

Hi, how can I submit a question to them? Thanks.

[@johnbongjoey5200]

Eric Idol. Billy's older brother

[@dragonalchemist89]

I absolutely love your work! i LOVE all the old sketches. some of my favorites: "The Parrot Sketch", "The Cheese Shop", and "The Lumberjack Song"

[@BritishComedyUK69]

Gotta love Eric Idle

[@windowshoppingwithjulie6664]

eric idle's british accent is very sexy ha ha

[@Rock2HAL]

Love this! Eric and John are my favs in this awesome comedy group! :) BTW the Spam skit is my fav from MP too! :)

[@sumvs5992]

For someone with the name "Idle" he sure does a lot of comedy

[@finnianking]

Eric idle sang the best song ever in "The Meaning of life" and it was "The Galaxy Song".... it makes you think and he manages to still get the funny bit in their... All the python's are absolute geniuses.

[@MoultonProductions]

Who's Alexis? And is she Texas? And does she have a gorgeous ass? xD Gotta love Eric Idle.

[@FlimsyFoxie]

Eric, you are so awesome, I love you and your commentary. Keep up the great work mate!

[@MissSamiexx]

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!!!

[@sillylittlemonkey7130]

But I don't like spam

[@DrDespicable]

Stupid vikings...

[@Hysteria98]

It's brilliant that no matter how old these fellas are, I find that they are as consistently witty and hilarious as they ever have been. Idle even has his own blog! :D

[@ProudToBeNoob]

Python really should have made Ghostbusters 3. If they did, then maybe we would have ended up with something good and memorable and not that horrific chickflick.

[@lunaknight8790]

I thought a "chickflick" was a romance movie, not just a movie that had women in the lead roles?

[@smoshGaming]

No one actually watched it though, It could be a love story with Godzilla for all we know.

[@lunaknight8790]

Fox Gaming Lots of kids watched it, I think that's the demographic it was mainly aimed at.

[@MrWarners14]

1.Do you have any new ideas for comedy shows (or do you wish to try something different in terms of different genres)? 2.I loved the 'Children Stories' bit you did on Monty Python, the 'Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson' bit and you actually looked great in drag at the time 'Flying Circus' was on (that was also very funny). 3.Which Monty Python sketches do you consider the best and vice versa? 4.Are there any fond memories of what it was like on the set of Monty Python? Also, I love your work.

[@alexicon89]

Im so happy Monty Python still exists. Goddamn life would've sucked without Monty Python ^^

[@dcbandnerd]

2:07 Almost got kicked out of the university library for laughing so hard.

[@loloxter]

Great answers, now all the questions in my head have been answered! Thank you!

[@phoenix_star]

I love that Eric Idle answered my question in person!! Made my day! ^_^ (even if it was only a question about the DVD release)

[@BretonnianDovahkiin]

This is truly hilarious, It's great that you still have your sense of humour after all these years.

[@rowiian]

0:44 killed me. And Eric's answer... I don't think I've laughed that hard since The Holy Grail.

[@OtaConnor]

You are an absolute genius, Eric. I've grown up on your comedy, and admire all you have accomplished. I hope to shake your hand someday.

[@keithjrisk]

Wonderful to see Billy Idle's father doing so well!

[@sensitivewoo]

That was great Eric. Loved to see you interact with us, your fans.

[@Retrochild1979]

Everyone talks about Palin being the cutest but I think Eric was the pin-up in Python!

[@miladynana]

you know what I like about the pythons ? they never stop being awesome

[@TeagueSan]

Hey Eric, you were always my favorite Python. After Cleese, Palin, Jones, Chapman and Gilliam, of course.

[@kiah666necr0]

OMG! I LOVE YOU GUYS! eric...you guys made my childhood great! now you make my work day so much brighter! THANK YOU!!! once again.....I LOOOOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BruceForte]

This is fantastic, thinking of how long you Monty Python have amused all of us with your convenient, british humour! No one can beat you, guys! -Felix

[@LoriCiani]

Oh, thank you Mr Idle for a much needed good laugh! Thank you for releasing Not The Messiah on DVD. It's now on my list of things to buy, right at the top. : )

[@michaelowen6113]

Don't forget, he is Wreck Gar!

[@GuitarGod645]

Thanks a lot Eric I would love to see a full on reunion of all the surviving Monty Python members one day and see the old magic happen again MONTY PYTHON = COMPLETE LIVING LEGENDS!

[@Urnkneekovaks]

" Bush wasn't bad enough?" Classic, sheer classic!

[@Neferazo]

I love your work, all you guy's work :) Nice to see you again, it's like I've known you all my life :)

[@EpicStopMotions72]

I was in a shitty mood, then I watched this. Never fails to make me laugh. :')

[@Nacromantine]

It's 2:24 AM here, it's pitch black outside, my eyes are tired and decided to see what's new on youtube tonight, found this. Damn you mr. Idle, I love you man xD

[@frithar]

Oh please oh please oh please-- Eric, you have to do more of these-- GOLDEN!!

[@thebandnork]

"Well, he's not quite dead yet.." hahahaha, still awesome!!

[@HoffleCopter]

Monty Python is one of the main factors that let me find the comedy within myself. I have you buggers to thank for my nonstop comedy... and my family have you to hate for the same reason. From one not-so-famous comedian to one of the legends, I have a single question: When are you planning to come to Cleveland, OH? We all love you here!

[@javakogan]

I loved this! Thank you so much for posting...

[@Areka_Sadaro]

This has made me so happy. Truly happy. :D, I was not aware of the channel. Monthy Phyton Forever!

[@TheGeigers]

That was hilarious! I owe Monty Python a lot. Me and my bf met because of them. Thanks, guys!

[@Princesspeach2007]

I love how you answered all those lol Looking forwards to the next one :D

[@iluvcheezitsheyhey]

Love love love Eric and the rest of the Pythons! Long live Monty P!!!

[@BassMisteress101]

Dear Sir Eric Idle, I remember watching your Rutles' Sketch and loved every moment of it. The Questions are: Why did you and the Others do it? How did you get the cast Idea, and did any of the original Beatles say anything about it?

[@magicemperor2420]

To be honest, my introduction to Eric was when he voiced Rincewind in the Discworld games.

[@sthanero2464]

Whenever I feel down, I just look at Monty Python videos. Cheers me right up.😁😁

[@TheOneEyedHound]

You know, my cat died today and I was really down. It seems like Monty Python is the only thing that can cheer me up. Thank you, Pythons.

[@xSisterxGrimmx]

Eric Idle, you are AWESOME!!! Keep doing what you're doing! God Bless Monty Python. I must know: what made you want to become a comedian?

[@displacerkatsidhe]

To the Monty Python Crew, I love you guys, and your work. I don't mean to make you feel old, but I've been a fan all my life. I'm a second generation fan, and my mom has loved you guys since she was a teen (when the show aired). I have all your guys films, and working on getting all the DVDs for the show, and loved Not the Messiah! Best of luck with future projects, and tell Terry Jones to do more history specials! Just kidding. Much love and fan-fair!

[@Aethegwyn]

I just pre-ordered the "Not the Messiah" dvd for my father. It is indeed a great father's day gift... Thanks for the tip! :D

[@dustjunky2000]

Idle is definitely my favorite celebrity I could watch this for hours. I'd like to see him do some more YT vids. Especially enjoy the replies where he gets angry. LOL

[@Baseless_]

Fantastic its nice to see that good humour never ages :)

[@bombygriz]

They need to do another one of these!

[@EricLeeEJLEE13]

When Eric sang the Spam song after reading the spam comment I cracked up. So funny! One of the best comedians, if not the best.

[@OverlordJake]

That is totally awesome. Eric is hilarious as always.

[@MagnitudePerson]

This is hilarious, definitely want a round 3... Q:(Question) Whats going on in the future for you guys?

[@ace5762]

Oh, Eric- you just get more and more funny every time I see you!

[@shogunSCHOLAR23]

this is simply hysterical!!! I mean, you're legendary!!! If we give you some powers YOU COULD BE GANDALF!!!

[@KiaJ1234]

My favorite Python out of All of them, Eric Idle

[@pughie2k7]

A true hero =] Awesome blokes.

[@bikingbirder2010]

"Basic gynecological knowledge" while fashioning large breasts with his hands. Huge tracts of land moment. Brilliant.

[@xdeviltrunksx]

I love all of the Pythons, you guys are always so funny.

[@TakeTwoFails]

I just saw Spamalot in the theater 1 hour ago, and i litterally joy-puked a rainbow by how incredibly amazingly bazinga tastically hilarious touch of genius it was!!!!!!

[@moodring2000]

I was watching Flying Circus yesterday and it's really weird hearing the same voice but from an older Eric. God, they're all still so sharp. xx

[@mlrichardson84]

"I wonder if they ever watch some of the crazy videos we make" "No."

[@arumugamyau]

Sir, Thank you very much indeed for your contribution! I love your "The Universe song " They show the video or play this song on every first astronomy and astrophysics lectures. The students would appreciate it.

hahahahah!! eric flashed me!! you're the MAN!

[@ThinkingOnlyOfYou]

I'll buy it, you guys are awesome, you changed the world of comedy as we know it, hell I would go so far as saying you created todays comedy(the good comedy of course, only idiots would make bad comedy). Love ya! Cheers!

this is simply great! lol'd hard, I'm looking forward for the round #3

[@Albrecht_Dürer_Restposten]

This was refreshing. Glad to know those lads are still able able to laugh and fool around. Dont take life too serious, you're net getting out alive anyway :p

[@XandraDave]

It fills my nerdy little heart with the deepest of joy that you've put these clips online, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to add another fatuous question to the stack: have you considered using Creative Commons licensing on here?

[@Flowergirl106]

He always was my favourite Python. And this only enforces that! :)

[@withalittlehelpfrom3]

That thing about Cleese in a box & not dead yet, is actually a reference to a Python sketch, aka the "It's only a bloody parking offense!" sketch.

[@Tinaf653]

Haha! I love Eric, he's the best! This just HAS to be made a regular item on KZbin. :D

[@Bethintx1]

The Pythons are the backbone of today's sketch comedy! Eric, y'all are a living legend! Our local PBS was the first to show Monty Python's Flying Circus... KERA Dallas. They even gave you an armadillo during an interview. Remember that?
