It's always great to see these sketches escalate and completely abandon their original topic lol

Mr Show carried that tradition well

[@NeidalRuekk]

You're just trying to scare us!

[@KingOfSciliy]

Unfortunately, nobody is able to put things on top of other things, considering the matter that everyone is surrounded by film 24/7

[@pop9095]

Respectfully Theodor Rikardson II, I am unsure the idea of punchline is well understood by you.

[@Colddeed]

Um, well, Mr Piero della Francesca, it's just that most of the......commenters on youtube feel.....whole things a bit silly.

[@tommyhaynes521]

This is just another "Not enough things on top of other things " false alarm.

[@allmadshere]

"Right, ok, meeting adjourned forever." Possibly a very awesome line.

[@onethreeify]

When I become obscenely rich I'm gonna start a Royal Society of putting things on top of other things.

[@jimmyboy131]

That would be, "The Department of Things", "Things On Top" bureau, which will always try to take jurisidiction from the State-level Departments of Things. Bet on it. Heavily funded by our tax dollars, of course.

[@tommyhaynes521]

I'm in ..if fact I just put a thing on top of another thing..so I have some experience

[@jimmyboy131]

Tommy Haynes Do you have a permit to do that...?

[@tommyhaynes521]

***** Well..It's in the application process

[@jimmyboy131]

Tommy Haynes Just be sure you place your fee check on top of the application, which should be properly placed on top of that other stack of papers which are on top of each other. It's all good and proper that way.

[@jozilife]

[@BrucknerMotet]

+1954774 The Staffordshire branch could learn a thing or two from you

[@mikekilo9476]

@David; Your comment applies only to the south Staffordshire branch - since they deaffiliated from the Staffordshire County Society for Putting Things on Top of Other Things but Not very Much ; however, the north Staffordshire branch (which includes Cannock Chase and Rugeley) remain, to this day, firmly committed to not putting too many things on top of other things. I hope that clears that up.

[@BrucknerMotet]

I am very much relieved to learn from Martin Kearns that the good people of North Staffordshire have not grown too complacent in their duties to the Society. And even if their members were to merely put one thing on top of another thing over the course of an entire year, that dutiful act would stand them in good stead in comparison to their slothful neighbors to the south. Good sir, I commend you for pointing out this crucial distinction, and may your branch thrive and succeed in placing no fewer than 1 thing on top of another thing and of course no more than too many things on top of other things. Because if your branch membership were to place more things on top of other things than just enough things, then the branch would be in great danger of being seen as an organization consisting of nothing but a bunch of silly persons.

[@mjponso]

Would they be any less hostile to the cameras if they were stacked one on top of the other?

[@V0YAG3R]

That IS the question!

[@clarissamcpigeon7857]

The whole 35mm indoors, 16mm outdoors thing was truly iconic and a very British way of doing film and TV productions back in the day. It stopped in the early 90s as the 35mm equipment became more viable for outdoor use.

[@Uraby210Incorporated]

Surely it was videotape indoors, not 35mm film?

[@ZigSputnik]

+Clarissa McPigeon You seem to have things badly muddled there. The studio stuff was recorded on 2" quadruplex video tape from video cameras and the exteriors used 16mm film. In the early 80s they started using portable video cameras for the exteriors and these had become the norm by the 90s.

[@simontay4851]

Why couldn't video tape cameras be used outside?

[@banjochris]

You could but you had to bring multiple giant cameras and an outside broadcast van with a videotape recorder in it. VT was hard to edit in the '60s so you had to cut it "live" between a couple cameras and the recording machine was about the size of a VW bug. Much easier to take a 16MM film camera and sound equipment.

[@oreokookie1000]

Yes, your right...wally heider did alot of that shit in san fran. I believe monty used some 16mm, and alot of video. I don't recall any sit- coms using 35mm, it was wicked expensive in those days. We couldn't even afford 16 mm doin guerilla film making in the early 70's....well we were teenagers!

[@GreatWonderMoose]

I have no idea what is happening, but I love it.

[@Yoshimitsu4prez]

GreatWonderMoose it's a commentary on the not-entirely-inaccurate view that groups of scientists are just old men sitting around smoking pipes and bantering about useless experiments

[@TheInCreDIblEMaReKU]

+WondrousMoose Also how they are surrounded by cameras that shoot in 16mm film, rather than magnetic tape cameras when they are indoors (due to the limitations of said cameras)

[@simontay4851]

Why can't they use magnetic tape cameras outside.

[@garypipich9616]

I lived in London and attended college there in the early 70’s. This sketch, and all the comedy of MP, was a satire of British society and culture. What a great time to have been alive and in London. It’s a shame what they have done to old England.

[@MrTree1779]

This show was simply insane, which is part of why I love it, and why it has endured. It's beyond funny, beyond social commentary. It dared not only to push the boundaries of what was allowed on TV, but to completely remove them. So, here's to Python: may they be watched and remembered for many future generations.

[@thefrub]

The joke is about how in the 70's and 80's TV shows would be shot with magnetic tape cameras on set, and film cameras outdoors (we're surrounded by film!) and it would look and sound a little different. It... doesn't really stand the test of time

[@tobiaslancel1035]

"modern day" politics? I'd say it is pretty eternal?

and that's how I learned, at my young ages, about non-sense.

[@olleronn616]

I don't know if this is related (I assume it is), but I once read a book about a bunch of British soldiers getting out of a prisoner camp in Germany by using one of them "horses" as disguising the tunneling. I guess one of the Pythons read the same book!

[@ScotishChristian]

Sounds about right. and it would explain the random Nazi's.

[@joshuatownshend7366]

You mean..the great escape?

[@Lshannon90]

Thanks for explaining that! I never understood that part of the sketch.

[@JohnS1704]

***** No, The Wooden Horse is the movie. The Great Escape did not include this method of escape.

[@dehavillandvampire]

The Wooden Horse actually predates the great escape and would have been very widely known to the British Public at the time. Oh and Stalag Luft II was not a concentration camp but a POW camp for RAF and other Allied air personel (Hence Luft)

[@mortalclown3812]

😂 Graham could take pompous to new heights.

[@Concetta20]

It took me forever to realize they were spoofing British television, how when the scenes were indoors they would be on the lesser quality tape but when outside the scenes are shot in film. Brilliant!

[@LordZontar]

I have to admit that I myself have often failed to keep up with my own goals of putting things on top of other things!

[@bezzaderbane9890]

This joke wouldn't work today where the picture quality is just the same between studio and location shoot, was a very noticeable part of shows right up to the late 80s though, even into the 90s with some.

[@jamir0n]

Brilliant sketch! Still relevant 30+ years today. despite sketch's end and being surrounded by (public scrutinizing) film, they've shown exceptional level(s) of resilience n capacity to conjure "cunning plan" on top of another, as ever. Bravo! Monty Python.

[@mubd1234]

For anyone who doesn't get the "we're on film" bit - before electronic video cameras became portable and video tape easily edited, scenes that were performed in locations outside a studio would be shot using 16mm film cameras and scanned back onto a video tape later. This was quite obvious to viewers because of the poorer quality, dirt on the film and slower frame rate compared to electronic video cameras.

[@maximillianford9301]

'A meaningless body of men that gathered together for no good purpose' I imagine the percentage of organisations and committees throughout history that this descriptor could be applied to is disturbingly high

In an english article on wikipedia about Oliver Philepot, part of the article is called 'The Wooden Horse'. I think the breakout using a horse is based on this story.

[@ajshell2]

I just discovered this, but the "Good Lord. I'm on film. How did that happen?" bit is a joke based on the fact that many British TV series from the 60s to the 80s were shot on videotape (Ampex 2-inch quadruplex videotape) in their indoor scenes. However, for their outdoor scenes, they shot on film (35mm?). This is also done in this sketch, which is why the indoor and outdoor scenes look a bit different (the differences are a lot more obvious when it's being watched on a DVD, not a 14 year old 240p youtube video). This is why they freak out about being filmed outside but don't care about the fact that they're being videotaped inside.

[@itismeitisi4274]

I think the film was usually 16mm rather than 35.
