American Reacts to MONTY PYTHON The Argument Clinic REACTION

[@alexanderf362]

If my late wife and I ever got into a tiff, one of us would say "Is this a five minute argument?" and that would break any tension. I highly recommend this technique for a long and happy marriage.

Boomer, old chap! If the morphing of words via Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry tickle your fancy, how about trying 'The Secret Policeman's Ball sketch - School poem'? Hugh plays the schoolboy and Stephen the headmaster who has just called him into his study to question him about the poem's contents.

The Argument Clinic is the very first Monty Python sketch I ever saw. I randomly ran across it on PBS back in the mid-70s when they had just started running Monty Python on American TV.

[@barriehull7076]

Is there a difference between a mallet and a hammer? Like a hammer, the mallet is also used for hitting objects. One of their main differences is that mallets have only one head and are commonly made of wood or rubber. Since a mallet is made of softer material unlike the metallic hammer, it is used to hit something more gently and not crush or dent the surface.30 Mar 2021. If you want to argue it will cost a dollar.

That's a traditional wood worker's mallet. You use it for tapping tenons into mortises and striking chisels when cutting out mortises and such.

It's one that's very cleverly written, and is appreciated as such. Another similar one, which I'm sure you'd like is the 'buying a mattress' one

The genius of this is how they keep switching it up. Just as you think they will do a third repetition, they come up with something else to continue. Perhaps not the funniest MP sketch, but certainly funnier than most sketches overall. :)

[@InimicalWit]

7:04 That’s not … okay, but if you like these sketches, I’d recommend you watch all of Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Because that’s not … that’s not the end of the sketch. The episode actually ends just a moment later, with a joke that is also the culmination of a running gag for the episode In a way, you could say this edit preserves that joke for an actual viewing of the episode But then that’s a perfect reason to recommend it lol Ton of gems in that show. Like the University of Silly Walks or the Twit of the Year Olympics 😉😆 Thanks for sharing your reaction 💙

If you haven't watched it yet you must watch Monty Python, ''The Four Yorkshire Men''. Funny as hell.

[@tweetdriver]

This isn’t just one of their funniest sketches ever. It’s one of their most intellectual. They are actually teaching all about what an argument is. It is genius. My father was a brilliant man, a college professor (and department head), and author and a foreign language teacher at the graduate level (Spanish and medieval Spanish). The argument clinic and the scene in Life of Brian where Brian is caught writing “Roman’s Go Home” in the palace walls were, according to him, the funniest and most intelligent comedy hits he’d ever seen. By the way, you might do a reaction to that scene in Life of Brian if you haven’t already seen the movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3qklXt7rM50r5osi=JmIBLTA0B4BX3bl1 Although my personal favorite from that movie is the Loretta scene. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epjTaoCGgap0p6Msi=aP65QSlx44sKGWnG
