Monty Python - New Cooker Sketch

[@JamaicanCastle]

Somewhere, Mrs. G Krump is looking at her clock wondering, "I wonder where they are with my gas cooker?"

[@drgeoffangel5422]

Still frickin hilarious after all these years!

[@hotquebec]

No it isn't.

[@cyberspore00]

@@hotquebecyes it is.

[@richardkammerer2814]

Both are correct. It’s a participant’s secondary award. Pay for the ribbon now, 3-2-1…. Damn, too late.

[@thecovidprisoner]

Classics get old but never out of date . Same coats they used for ' Bicycle repair man ' sketch 😀.

[@Lshannon90]

Terry is always an adorable housewife!

[@amt253]

Yes. Ministry of Silly Walks is later in the same episode (first episode of Series 2). We also see the line of people again during the Dinsdale (Pirahna Brothers) sketch even later in the same episode.

[@iancurtis1152]

And the shop on the corner (right at the end) is the “Hungarian phrase book” shop😁

I love how Terry jumps a fence. And hats off to him doing it in a dress.

[@stephanieakridge3634]

Aaah customer service at its finest.

[@NeidalRuekk]

So little has changed in 40 years

[@luisreyes1963]

Wonder if Comcast used this as a training film for their Cable & Internet service technicians. 😂

[@davidekstrand8544]

Yep, too much bureaucracy and insurance.

[@NFITC1]

"I must be in the wrong house!" Now THAT'S logic I can get behind. :D

[@atilllathehun1212]

Just today had BT round to see about changing our internet supplier. THREE guys have separately been so far and still no nearer to getting it.

[@rcbeamer]

This probably is my favorite episode, along with Dennis Moore and The Cycling Tour. In the late 70's the PBS station here in Milwaukee had MPFC on Sundays at 10 pm. Last TV I could watch for the weekend, and my friends & I would talk about each episode Monday at school, lol. Having no cheap commercially available home VCRs back then, I would tape the audio on my boom box which had VHF TV channels 2-17. Then, in the mid-late 80's MTV had these on, and I VHS taped as many as I could. I still have 44 of the 45 shows over the 4 series. For some reason, this episode was never broadcast on MTV, unless I missed it somehow. I'm sure I'm wrong. I have the 14 DVD set, but not my cassettes with the audio.

[@kerryedavis]

These need to be recorded without any commercial interruptions. Best source was IFC for a while, but then they started having commercial breaks during shows too.

[@MarxistKnight]

BEHOLD THE EPICNESS THAT IS THE NEW COOKER SKETCH

[@Desmond.TuTu.]

This is a genuine representation of how British industry ran in the 70’s and now labour is back in we will be returning to these good old days 😂

[@peternagy-im4be]

I loved the 70's

[@deegeraghty9426]

I was expecting a gas explosion ... with the house falling down ...

[@johnbarrett5268]

One of funniest sketches ever

[@janetharris9984]

This holds up well today 2016. Anyone out there tried to have a meter changed, or have Sky install a box recently? Ni.

[@Kratax]

That's knight. I haven't.

[@kathleenrobertson67]

Janet Harris easier to get a nice shrubbery installed

[@johnbarrett5268]

Palin brilliant as ever

[@whatevarrr]

saw this the other day on comedy central extra, probably one of the most hilarious things i've ever seen!

[@RRaquello]

my all-time favorite monty python bit.

[@jkk45]

In other words Evri’s customer service

[@mikewalsh5825]

This entire episode is one great sketch after the other: the ministers on talk shows; gas cooker; silly walks, Piranha Brothers. All home runs in one episode!

[@goshnessmaggy]

xD "i must be in the wrong house!" i didn't get the reverseness when i was a little kid but i still found it hilarious x]

[@OreadNYC]

@6020e3 -- I imagine that RationalFuture means the film "Brazil" (which was directed by Terry Gilliam of Monty Python and included fellow Python member Michael Palin in the cast).

[@Graham_Wild]

Just what I needed a good laugh, after feeling down.

[@OmarKMajid1985]

I love how this ties in with the silly walk sketch.

[@dontknocktherock1263]

Some things never change!!

[@rebeccabeach7722]

That's straight out of Kafka 😂

[@RaidersBlack84]

The first 20 seconds are still the best

[@TheLowBrassDude]

Legend has it, thise gas repairman are still lined up to this very day

[@mikepen3477]

1:38 - "blue and white cookie"

[@MrNikolidas]

Cook-Easy.

[@JuanchoMan]

this sketch reminds me of my job, its funny because it's true

[@dminalba]

I had the same cooker but white

[@winstonchurchill6506]

John clesse predicting 2024

[@g00gleminus96]

The bureaucracy is exploding to meet the exploding needs of the bureaucracy.

[@Pikashockdragon]

Just how many people did they use in this skit? I mean look at the line at the end.

[@unclvinny]

This is like Brazil before Brazil.

[@floriansaul4]

Hmm, why is the gas hose connected to the cooker and not to the wall...

[@Zeredek]

"Hello sailors!"

[@piliage]

Welcome to customer service in Belgium!

[@sensualbunny1]

Nice installation

[@chegeny]

Hmm.. sounds like the famous Tuttle-Buttle fuddle when someone used a 27B/6 form at the Ministry of Public Works.

[@WindofNightmares]

so all this time it wasn't the people calling getting the wrong address, i was just in the wrong house.

[@douro20]

Ministerette?

[@Stroija]

Isn't the small guy who came in last also in Lethal Weapons?

[@6020e3]

@OreadNYC Oh, now i get it. I've seen the movie. It's about a bureaucratic future. Now it makes sense, since this sketch is about bureaucracy.

[@solcario2]

is this in any way connected to the line of brown coat people in the ministry of silly walks?

[@kathleenrobertson67]

solcario2 yes you silly person

[@nigelhawthorn6425]

this segues into the silly walks

[@Kelly14UK]

04:36 10 Riillington Place?

[@athroughz0t9]

5 people were in the wrong house.

[@pogly100]

Can you sign it "Crump-Pinnet"?

[@erikkennedy]

Crump, innit.

[@u.v.s.5583]

Why is it signed Inspector Lookout of the Yard?

[@TheAkelei]

Em - excuse me, but what kind of construction is this weird gas cooker anyway? In the moment you have a pan on the oven, this kind of "roof appliance" will catch fire????

[@bertferri-5685]

Did you notice, every last one of them is wearing specs. Totally MPesque.

[@anthonyklecha6002]

FYI, the correct phrase is ‘Pythonesque’

[@daviddavis2983]

Everything was so much better back when utility companies were nationalised, wasn't it? ;)

[@malcolmcog]

Ha ha ! tee hee ! See my comments on waiting a year from ordering to installation of our new gas fire in 1972

[@SpeckleKen]

​@@malcolmcog I can beat that. Bought and paid for a new car and was not allowed to take delivery until I could prove my address by producing a telephone bill... And there was a three year wait to get a telephone connected.... And I was only posted to the country for two years! (Not the UK.)

[@MrRocky42100]

lmao! the thing on the TV that Terry Jones ia watching XD

[@achilllllles]

haha .. that's why i always prefer to carry all my gadgets on my shoulders from the store

[@itogirls]

"Hullooooo Sailahs!"

[@89horizon]

Is it really murder though if the victim gives their consent?? 🤔

[@QuikVidGuy]

I wonder if this is about a specific company or just utilities in general

[@chrishenniker5944]

Macaroni and Cliches It's about nationalised industries in general. It used to be that if you wanted a telephone, you had to wait six months to get a line.

[@MegaDarryl1]

Whereas now thanks to private energy companies people cant afford to turn the gas on.......

Socialist customer service. It was true ! This was Britain in the 70s under a socialist government ! We ordered a new gas fire in 1971, it was delivered in 1972 and connected to the gas in 1973

[@natsurusenou131]

You are aware of the fact that the Conservatives were in power during that period of time. and were starving the nationalised services of funds, yes? As they continue to do now with our NHS?

[@chrisdavidson6838]

Yes better now with S.E. Trains and a pricing system designed to rip off the old.

[@grahamlive]

You were lucky. I ordered gas cooker in 1974 and all i had to cook on was a candle made from wax from the family's ears until 1978!

[@awmh]

@@natsurusenou131 He's got to be using irony. He can't be that thick.

[@jca111]

Never let the fact that the Torys were in control until 1974 get in the way of an attempt of political scoring. Ignoramus.

Welcome to the world of Jeremy Corbyn. Vote wisely people, vote wisely.

Replace the gas cooker with Obamacare and thats what we have to look forward to. Ahhhh bureaucracys arent they wonderful and usefull.
