Monty Python's And Now For Something Completely Different... MOVIE REACTION (first time watching)

[@tonyadams2373]

If you want to see more of John Cleese check out the TV series "Fawlty Towers". Only 12 episodes but a lot of fun that I think you would enjoy.

[@notmee2388]

Best sitcom ever!

[@markhamstra1083]

Three words for you: Fish slapping dance.

[@michaeljlyons5565]

You should watch Time Bandits from 1981 Similar humor to python and was directed by Terry Gilliam

[@mvjonsson]

@@michaeljlyons5565 Or Terry Gilliam's first solo film Jabberwocky (1977) which feature Michael Palin and Terry Jones and is similar in style to Monty Python and the Holy Grail (same cinematographer and same set designer). Another choice is Graham Chapman's Yellowbeard (1983) which features John Cleese and Eric Idle.

Their farewell concert, too: "Monty Python Live (Mostly): One Down, Five to Go." It doesn't have Graham, of course, but it *is* twice as long as Hollywood Bowl, and also includes songs from their movies.

This "movie" is actually a "best of" their skits from their TV show. A friend enlightened me to their TV show (then on PBS) because there was females (sometimes) without clothing.

[@ariachanson01]

Yeah there's some of that too😂

[@TTM9691]

No it's not, it's a bad cover version of their best skits from their TV show. This is like when Little Richard and Chuck Berry re-recorded all their classic hits in the 60s and 70s. Totally lame.

[@imcrazedandconfused]

It's always such a delight watching Monty Python alongside your reactions. So funny to see how these skits still work - for those who are intelligent enough to embrace absurdity. Timeless. Have a great weekend and all the best!

Hi Aria, what a nice surprise seeing this appear. Its great seeing you laugh. Im sure you get hundreds of requests but im another who would dearly love to see you react to Fawlty Towers. As for Monty Python im sure you will love The Argument sketch and The Fish Slapping Dance if you haven'talready seen them. Best wishes to you 👍

Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl is another film of their sketches performed live on stage.

[@apachemayhem880]

If you've run out of movies, there's always the movies some of the cast did together after Python. You already saw Wanda, but you still have Erik the Viking & Yellowbeard. The latter has Madeline Kahn & Marty Feldman from the Mel Brooks movies and also Cheech & Chong.

[@izzonj]

Back in the 70s, I saw Monty Python, live, in NYC. They did a bunch of their most popular skits from the TV shows. At one point, the curtain went up and John Cleese was standing there holding a parrot cage and the audience went wild! He looked startled and ran off the stage and they did a different skit. This was a running gag with Cleese teasing the parrot skit a few times and running off, before they finally did it!

[@PatrickChachulski]

[@splitimage137.]

Eric Idle, of Monty Python, teamed up with musician Neil Innes to create a Beatles-spoof band called THE RUTLES, which also featured some of the original cast of SNL like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and Gilda Radner. It was created for NBC TV in 1978, and is hilarious... especially the amazing spoof on the Beatles songs themselves, like one called CHEESE AND ONIONS. It's well worth watching. "THE RUTLES are a living legend. A living legend that will live on long after other living legends have died."

[@joeb918]

Don’t forget the sequel, The Rutles 2: Can’t Buy Me Lunch

[@dan_hitchman007]

Aria, here are more Python-esque type films to consider - from some of the same Monty Python cast members: Brazil: Director's Cut The Adventures of Baron Munchausen Time Bandits Nuns on the Run The Fisher King 12 Monkeys Always a pleasure hearing your laugh or seeing your look of wonderment, Aria! 😊

Long time watcher of your reactions, though I don’t think I’ve commented too frequently on your videos. For all the previous videos of yours I’ve watched but said nothing I make amends by telling you that they were all great ans fantastic, but it’s great to see you getting heavy into Monty Python. I would love you see do reactions for the original Flying Circus tv show. It’s such a rarity to see that on KZbin, everybody does Grail and Bryan, but the sketches are too daunting. However this is a great way to get a primer on them, distilled madness from some of their greatest hits into a remade slightly older form than when they were when they were young lads doing the show in the 60s. They’ve also put out comedy records which are a great laugh, as well as various books, stage shows. One of the best versions of the dead parrot sketch is also kind of one of the saddest things John Cleese ever did. You can find it on KZbin, as he did a rendition of the dead parrot sketch for his eulogy of Graham Chapman when he died in 1989… it’s so beautiful and hilarious and bittersweet. It’s the sort of memorial/funeral I’d want I think.

[@joeb918]

*I meant to say, that I think the sheer amount of sketches is too daunting for some on KZbin, there are a fair number of episodes and that might take a while for a KZbinr to do.

[@ariachanson01]

Yeah I just haven't done any loooong tv shows on the channel yet😅

With the exception of the 'World's Funniest Joke' and 'Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit' sketches, which were both shortened quite a bit for this movie, all the other sketches are basically the same length here as their TV series counterparts. As far as I know, you and Dawn Marie are now the only people on YT who have reacted to this film (and she's the only one who's reacted to Flying Circus).

[@lordandarian]

Aria - There's also a filmed version of the oratorio adaptation of Life of Brian that Eric Idle did in 2009, "Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy)" if you wanted more craziness. :D

[@dingokidneys]

It's great fun to see you enjoy things that I've loved forever. It's like when I introduced my kids to Monty Python years ago. Keep laughing!

[@ink-cow]

This was an early attempt to break into the US market, and not really the best Python. They're funny of course, but the American producer interfered more than they liked, and no matter how the film was edited, test audience simply stopped laughing part way in. John Cleese believed it was because there was no story. Some of the other Pythons complained that the resulting film was just them telling jokes from behind desks. The skits are performed better in the original TV series, and later performances for live audiences (like at the Hollywood Bowl).

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

This was made with the intention of launching Python in America. It had a cult following there already when PBS was showing it late at night so the decision was made to push all the way to mainstream with this film. I read somewhere that the Pythons themselves never really regard this as a Python movie, and weren’t all that keen on doing it because they saw it as a bit of a backward step, rehashing old sketches. I still like it though.

[@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy]

At any rate, I think a lot of the sketches were performed better here than on the series. -- and certainly _look_ more professional.

[@GrilloTheFlightless]

@@ComeOnIsSuchAJoy It’s nice to see the sketches done with sets that don’t look like they’re made of cardboard! Gilliam’s animation was re-done largely using the original cutouts and were on cleaner looking film, which was nice, but he added some little bits and bobs in that I wasn’t so keen on. I liked some sketches better on the film. I preferred Palin’s delivery on the film when he says he wants to be a lion tamer. I also preferred the film version of the self-defence against fruit sketch. The movie also has a different line in The Lumberjack Song. “Just like my dear mama” became “papa” which I think is funnier, and remained that way on the album and live versions. Whilst the Dirty Knife sketch looked much better, I prefer Cleese’s delivery in the original. All swings and roundabouts really. But it’s a good introduction to Python that visually looks better than the originals. And, let’s be honest, the TV series was very experimental. For every sketch that landed well, there were usually a few that didn’t. Especially in Series 1. And the movie gives us the good stuff on a bigger budget, with the less good-stuff gone. I would have liked to have seen more Gumbies and the fish-slapping dance (one of Cleese’s favourites) But that’s funny purely because of the way Palin looked when he fell in the water, and the chances of recreating that perfectly was pretty slim!

[@mrkwrbl]

[@mikejankowski6321]

Mission accomplished, you got several good laughs from this film and it was lovely. Can't help but laugh along with you. Their animations always level up the comedy.

[@Sp33gan]

I'm laughing so hard with you, Aria. ♥ The first season of Python was seen by a lot of people as it was shown far too late in the evening for most to stay awake. Still, it gathered enough attention and became a hit before the first season ended. And Now For Something was, as you noticed, a collection of the group's favourite sketches brought to the big screen and fleshed out a little more. It was a way to expose the show to a wider audience and still maintain a fairly tight budget. It also gave the Python members a learning time for the differences between television and movies. The stage was set for one of the funniest movies of all time with MP and the Holy Grail.

[@julianfarrall8963]

Try to find the Michael Palin series ripping yarns, very much in the Monty python style of humour.

[@matthewmarcinko9157]

Hi, Aria! I'm glad to see that you're reacting to this film. This is one that gets overlooked in favor of Monty Python's more well known films like "The Holy Grail" or "Life Of Brian". Another film from the Python troupe you might like is "Monty Python Live At The Hollywood Bowl". As the name suggests, it's the whole cast performing their best skits before a live audience, and it definitely changes the dynamic of the humor a little bit. A lot of the skits they do are some of the ones you're seeing here, but it's still definitely worth your time to give it a look. Love your channel, Aria, keep up the great work! 🙂

[@wrpdcnfsn]

Live at the Hollywood Bowl is great and there are some other favourite collections from Monty Pythons Flying Circus out there as well.

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

The face of the animator, Terry Gilliam, is used for the skit about the dancing teeth. Thought you might like to know that. Another collection of skits is found in the "movie" Monty Python live at the Hollywood Bowl.

[@VeritySnatch]

the animation is the work of Terry Gilliam, who went on to direct 12 Monkeys, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

[@StanSwan]

Their UK TV show was video taped in a different format than the US used so it was cheaper and better quality to just redo the skits. It was PBS that invested a large sum of money to convert some of the "best" shows to air in the US in the late 1970s. In the digital age it is not a big deal now but was a major pain back then. Old video was in 1 inch reels of magnetic tape that ran at different speeds and did not have the same lines to scan. Won't get into all that here but why they choose to just remake them all. This was also before the Holy Grail movie and they wanted to open up the US market to make more films.

[@chadking1938]

Funny thing was back then when this movie came on. I thought it was like another kubrick movie something like CO due to the pacing of the timing of a scene from that marriage counseling sketch, then when the giant weight drop down then I knew it's a comedy movie. Then the next sketch and my brain open up and said oh it's Monty Python. A classic.

[@MrUndersolo]

This was my introduction to MP. I was about ten or eleven and I have been an addict ever since... 🦶

[@FaceBat]

It IS a movie. Yes, the bits are from the TV show, BUT...they were all re-filmed for this movie, so each bit is a little bit different from the same bit in the TV series. (In the TV series, both film & video are used; in this movie, it's all film.)

[@Texy88]

If you look very carefully at Eric Idle's face at 12:08 you can see him struggling to keep a straight face.

[@triadmad]

Watching you laugh over their bits is such a delight. I decided long ago, that if I ever adopted a pair of kittens that happened to be male and female, I'll name them Arthur and Dierdre, from the marriage counselor bit. Sadly, that never happened, but a couple decades ago a pair of boys came to me, and I named them after the arch criminals, Doug and Dinsdale Piranha. I hope you'll have an opportunity to see the show they appeared in, Season 2, Episode 1. Dinsdale appears in my avatar image.

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

A movie that goes the same style is Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl. They were doing their skits live in a US tour.

[@dalbhuie_youtubeaddedanumber]

I hope sometime you complete the set and watch the movie they made of them live on stage. It is entitled Monty Python Live bat the Hollywood Bowl and the last two sketches they do are my favourite Python sketches.
