Its great seeing Terry Jones cover his face trying so hard not to laugh at Cleese, and Cleese looked right at him and just keep going...how he managed to hold it together is beyond me

Flamel yep. Even Terry couldn't handle Cleese when he started his bit. Even Cleese cracked a smile at the end, knowing that he made Terry corpse. He did the same when he made Michael Palin do the same when they did the Parrot Sketch live.

Cleese's expression of panic at the end is priceless. What makes this skit so timeless (IMHO the best comedy routine ever!) is the fact that we all know someone(s) like this. Heck, this is who we elected US President (although not nearly as funny)

I'm fascinated by this english accent, the way they removed words like "A" or "The" from sentences "Slash us in half with bread knife", "We used to live in corridor", "Go down to pub" Simulaneously charming, and irritating ;)
@stephenderry94885 жыл бұрын
If you listen carefully there's actually a glottal stop, a variation to the shortened "the" or "thy" usually represented as t'corridor or t'pub, a distinctive feature of t'Yorkshire accent. The well-known Yorkshire song "On Ilkley Moor bar t'at" literally means on Ilkley Moor without your (thy) hat.

Concert from the early 80's called The Secret Policeman's Ball. Python skits live - cheese shop, dead parrot, this one and others. Music mixed in as well with Pete Townsend, Bob Geldof, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck together and others. Great movie. Also did sequal called Secret Policeman's 'Other' Ball. Filmed live in London as charity events.

For this performance of the skit, Terry is in the Tim Brooke-Taylor role from the original skit, Rowan is in the Graham Chapman role, and Michael is in the Marty Feldman role. Of course Cleese reprised his role from the original skit.
@lexo3015 жыл бұрын
This was one of the late 70s Amnesty International benefit gigs - probably the Secret Policeman's Ball. (The first one.) Cleese organised a lot of these gigs and the DVD set is worth checking out, because he plays an absolute blinder whenever he's performing. His live version of the Parrot Sketch is soo much better than the original (which is great) that it's hard to believe.
