Four Yorkshiremen (subtitled)

Monty Python Live Hollywood Bowl

[@SillyUncleAndy]

Ohhhhhh, we used to dreeeeam about watching Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl. We used to hear about it from stories passed from our auntie's gran's neighbour, told to us by our dead cat, via the skills of a medium...... IF WE WERE LUCKY!

[@ScantSquad]

We used to wish we had the luxury of an aunty. We were sold to an old alcoholic gypsy when we wert three, used to beat us with cane, collected our tears in old jam jar…and make us boil our shoes for dinner. When i say shoes, it was more like roadkill we found at side of road…and that was furt special birthdays only

[@douro20]

One of the greatest pieces of hyperbole ever written for a comedy.

[@arthurbishop3173]

This and 'Silly Job Interview' are the 2 funniest sketches I've ever seen/heard by anyone anywhere ('The Pope and Michaelangelo' is a close 3rd). I have a 10 and a 16 year old, and they know them by heart. I've seen both sketches 100s of times, and still lmao every time I see them. The exaggeration(s) are hysterical, and I try to work them into my work days with co-workers and customers whenever possible. It NEVER gets old.

[@kaymuldoon3575]

Arthur Bishop I agree, except I would put the Death of Mary Queen of Scots up there with it. Along with the Penguin on the Television sketch that immediately followed. At one time I could quote that entire piece word for word. 😂

[@strangelee4400]

[@mrloop1530]

I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock in the night, half an hour before I went to bed.

[@reson8706]

That's my favorite part

[@JohnSmith-qn3ob]

"before you went to bed"? You were lucky, you had a bed.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Luxury! Our dad used to wake us up with a rusty knife straight into our hearts in the middle of our previous working day where we cleaned toilets with our tongues to send us to our next shift of digging tunnels to Mongolia with our bare teeth, and god forbid if we missed a single minute. We had nothing but we had to work at one job to have the money to pay them to allow us to work at the second job.

[@danielallen3454]

[@Onewhoknowslife90087]

You're lucky. We had to walk all the way to the next town over, and then we had to beg random people to pay to use their internet (at only 50 Kbps) right in their own homes.

[@FlockOfHawks]

Nonsense. I've always found you quite suspicious...

[@aquamarine99911]

Chapman's "Luxury" is the best. Palin's "Dream of living in a corridor" is the best. But I always preferred Cleese's "Right"

[@peterknutsen3070]

Andrew James Cleese?

[@aquamarine99911]

In another version of this skit. Not this video.

[@magick1969]

I find the ``Paradise'' that the original Marty Feldman retort even better.

[@jtb1990419]

Andrew James me too. Eric did alright, but not near as good as Cleese did on the Secret Policeman's Ball version. He made Terry nearly lose it on that one.

[@arthurbishop3173]

I prefer Eric Idle in this one. His tone and facial expressions own this one imo.

[@theodericstrider5780]

The sound of a family reunion

[@tuxguys]

When I was a kid, the years didn't even have numbers, we just used to call it "hard times..." We had to walk to school barefoot in the snow, 365 days a year, uphill in both directions... When we got home, our father would give us each a quarter if we'd agree to skip dinner (so there'd be more food for him and Mum), and he'd tell us to put it under our pillows so that we wouldn't lose it... Then, when we were asleep, he'd come in and take the quarters back, and the next morning, he'd ask us if we'd lost them... When we couldn't find them, he'd give us a whippin' for losing them, and send us off to school without breakfast to do it all over again... And you try to tell the young people today about it, and they don't believe you!

[@sandpiperr]

How did you know it was 365 days a year if you didn't have numbers?

[@tuxguys]

@@sandpiperr I said "the years didn't even have numbers." We weren't allowed to ask questions like that, we weren't even allowed to ask why the quarters looked just like the nickels...

[@jamesderiven1843]

​@@tuxguys Luxury! Our dad used to send us out at one in the morning to steal copper wire from surrounding homes, melt it down in a homemade crucible we had to build from stones recovered from under the railroad tracks, forge the hot copper into pennies with our bear hands - using our youngest as a rolling pin to get the metal flat enough, with our only sustenance the slag snagged on his nappy - and then our father would take those pennies away right in front of us to teach us a lesson about thrift before we went off to our shift in the mines.

[@seanryan3020]

You were lucky to only have to go to school! When we finished school for the day, we had to go back up the hill, fighting off the wolves with our bare hands, straight to the mines, where we'd work the night shift, digging coal (also with our bare hands), go back up the hill again, to arrive at home at 6 am just in time to wake us up to go back to school!

[@findlesplurb]

​@@seanryan3020 Ha! We used to DREAM of affording hands! We were so poor we had to roll the coal with our noses into the barrels, after which we'd have to crawl home, through a pit of burning lava, all the way to the other side of the world, to the discarded candy bar wrapper that my family shared with 100 other impoverished families, and we were lucky if our father didn't tie us to a rocket and shoot us directly into the sun before splitting a single stale breadcrumb for our month's supper!

[@1258-Eckhart]

I grew up in Yorkshire in the 1960's - this is fact! The more pain and suffering, the better your life! "Kes" (Ken Loach) is pure realism.

[@henrycooper4213]

It’s not the joke the joke is how much northerners particularly Yorkshiremen complain and constantly completing who had the worse life, victim mentality before victim mentality era. Living in Sheffield the past 15 years they are all still exactly the same up here. Never stop complaining.

Humble Brag: Monthy Python style

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

[@Vaitamanu]

@spankflaps1365 Which is better ! This one is good, but "paradise", "you were lucky", "luxury" and "right" are spot on on the first version. But your link is not the best one, since the beginning and the end are missing.

[@jamesheath7601]

RIP Graham and Terry

[@enkisdaughter4795]

The funny thing is that Michael Palin was born in Ranmoor, South Yorkshire. Eric Idle was born in South Shields, then part of County Durham, after his Mum had been evacuated there from the North West, during WWII.

Original sketch with original actors (only Graham Chapman is in both) at kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHyrd414irl0as0. No Yorkshiremen among them! (though Tim Brooke-Taylor, born in Derbyshire, came close). Barry Cryer (Yorkshireman par excellence) appears early on in the sketch as a waiter and no doubt helped with the accents and probably the dialogue as well.
