Monty Python - Merchant Banker Sketch

[@edmund184]

This is the best Python Sketch ever. Forget the Dead parrot.

[@greyforge27]

"I forget my name for the moment... but I am a merchant banker."

[@УгарныйЮМОР.Подписывайся]

Joey don't you think maybe it's kind of quick for to be going away together on a trip

[@cathartic555]

Apparently John Cleese actually forgot the name on the plaque while filming this sketch, but they went with it...Genius.

[@michaelallocca5531]

Doubtful. The plaque says "Chamran Knebter" -- which is an anagram of "Merchant Banker": hardly likely he was actually scripted to say that. I suspect this anecdote has been transposed from "...Holy Grail," where this *was* in fact the origin of "There are some who call me ... Tim."

[@vordman]

That's the funniest line in it. Makes him even less human.

[@vordman]

Cleese and Jones are both brilliant in this. One of my favourite Python sketches.

[@dreamcrafter888]

and as Murphy's law goes.. "In order to acquire a loan you must first prove you do not need it"

[@docsallad]

Wow. This is just sooooo good. And still and accurate observation on how investment bankers tend to think...

[@mr2703]

It's gift... WHAT!? I'm a pound down on the whole deal... MP are great.

[@gamingchinchilla7323]

you know the video is going to be good when it starts out with a Python in drag getting hammered.

[@ToastMaster623]

4:12 I love how you can see the set hand.

[@peterrebelwithoutamenopaus6962]

One of my favourites. Of course the joke is he can't conceptualise charity, he's not being sarcastic. Thanks Sherlock. 😂😂

[@orinchaoskeeper]

if you look at the trapdoor while it's opening, you can see the heads of the crew below

[@ubergeek1968]

Yes you can

[@jnwms]

Ohhhhhh, nooo you can't!

[@connfyoozed]

Look, this isn't an argument!

[@jnwms]

Ohhh yes, it is!

[@brossen99]

Pity you can't see the How Rich I Am graph on the wall !

[@pxr0583]

"Ah, where`s that dictionary....mmh....'Inner life'...'inner life'....."

[@Stroija]

Funny how you can see somebody's head when Jones falls down to the hatch : D

[@quinnfletcher3906]

Fools steal with a gun! Genius steal with a pen!

[@mordachiapeargut]

As Bob Dylan wrote. "Some will rob you with a six gun, some with a fountain pen". Give credit where it's due.

[@doctorcraptonicus7941]

"Here at Slater/Nazi we are quite keen to get into orphans." - them and the rest of the BBC.

[@doctorwhom1]

wow, the power... i find it alluring, perhaps i shall become a merchant banker

[@tomkent4656]

Skeych got rather silly at the end!

[@shantivadevagamer8145]

So nothing's changed then : (

[@literallyamoose8314]

The podcast Fistshark Marketing is not unlike this sketch.

[@uriituw]

There are obviously just people inside the horse costumes.

[@Zante_on_google]

Yes, that's what a pantomime horse is.

[@tsk9277]

Were you expecting a real pantomine horse?

[@bangBANGDEAD132]

uriituw no its not.

[@pandarama67]

I think maybe your right but only the back part of the horse

[@zagyex]

I also thought they were not like real horses, and now it is clear why.

[@perkanius]

well, when do you really need an area of aesthetic and recreational land planted with grasses or other durable plants?

[@MagicAccent]

Haha! Never noticed that!

[@pietrod1221]

can you tell me the nuber of the season and the number of the episode??!!? (because in italian it have another name and i can't find it....:D)

[@WorldWar2freak94]

The banker is just like Scrooge from the book Christmas Carol.

[@D119heavy]

If the investment bankers of modern day America had been so concerned with securities our economy might not have collapsed in 2008.

[@dr.funkenstein9790]

D119heavy or maybe if the government hadn’t forced banks to give out loans they knew people wouldn’t pay back, you putz

[@dervelthecelt]

Lemon Curry?

[@ctiley2212]

Summarises the ethics of the Australian Liberal Party perfectly.

[@moyadapne968]

Stephen Fry did this sketch with Bob Geldorf on Secret Policeman's Ball.

[@davidfudge7300]

Was I the only one who thought it was Columbo in the thumbnail?

[@mappingoutthesky]

Is it weird that I find this quite upsetting? Poor Terry

[@michaelbruin6681]

Sounds like scientology.

[@jameswoodend6029]

Was that Trump or were they impersonating him?

[@rickmorgan3930]

In the US he would be a Republican poster child.

[@JakeandElwoodBlues]

Rick Morgan More like a Democrat. Statistics have consistently shown that conservatives are far more charitable than liberals/progressives/socialists.

[@quinnfletcher3906]

At least when Right wingers are charatable they don't demand a medal for it!

[@netzahuacoyotl]

Anyway...

[@annaschneider225]

0:01 ELMO????

[@21rasko]

Dope zebra before it was cool

[@koenbeernaerts8409]

Grunge rock bands are also known as garage bands, mostly coming from New Jersey, very similar with the Bay area thrash metal scene in Frisco early 80's with garage bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Heathen, Testament, Exodus, etc. but grunge was a completely new sound, they mixed Black Sabbath with more modern sounding rock and pop. the main goal was to sound non commercial but back to basics of rock and still get your attention, incoporate different things in the music, very similar to Stoner rock, bands like Monster Magnet, Kyuss or Fu Manchu. check out Monster Magnet's Spacelord
