Mr Creosote (Monty Python)

[@josh420masterB]

Quentin Tarantino once admitted that he has difficulty watching this scene without feeling sick. Makes you think.

[@chasjetty8729]

He brought us Django, but he gets queasy watching a man puke on a cleaning woman before exploding. It does indeed make me think.

[@jimmyjimjims7483]

Yet he can stuff a foot so far back in his throat it tickles his larynx and this is what makes him sick lol, that guy is one weird dude

[@alexconn7473]

It's funny I found this absolutely hilarious on my first viewing

[@Asura_productions]

I ate oatmeal so much i feel like ika throw up as i watched this....

[@Philsophy]

Makes me think.

[@colibri1]

I wish I could recapture the feeling I experienced when I first saw this in a cinema in '83. It's still funny, but I'm used to it now. The 1st time I saw it with friends, we laughed so hard we were sliding out of our chairs. Each blast of vomit provoked another convulsion of laughter.

[@JohnCollins-th8hm]

Absolutely!

[@siruguri]

100% this is how I felt the first time I watched this, when I was a simple lad of 25.

[@NelsonWin]

Not to mention the sound of splashing, which was used twice after the explosion. It sounded like someone jumping in the water.

[@killercroc6474]

what’s funny is that op’s comment is from 16 years ago but every reply is from this week

[@irrelevantdumbass5307]

@@killercroc6474 you are all probably bots

[@lemonlimecitrus]

Fun fact: At 4:00 that pineapple was originally the tail end of a fish. They had to change it because John Cleese couldn't keep from laughing every time they tried to do the scene.

[@thenowuk]

'it's only waaafer thin'! -best Cleese perfomance ever in this sketch

[@jeffharbaugh8683]

That mint was specifically made to explode the man.

[@breenfantwo]

I think it's funny how Quentin Tarentino, master of violence, gore, and death, thinks this is disgusting.

[@44aim]

Конечно отвратительно, чел буквально весь ресторан обблевал (глагол от слова блевотина)

[@unextrano9775]

​@@44aimYeah so cool

[@wardenphil]

When I was in college, a young lady was once sick at the table in the Dining Facility. She started a chain reaction, which I got caught up in, which left the room in about the same shape as this fictional scene. I am not exaggerating.

[@rutgaurxi7314]

Big, if true.

[@joshuafischer684]

Vomiting can trigger a sympathetic response in nearby people, especially in poorly ventilated areas. Smelling vomit leads your body to believe that the food you ate is contaminated and will try to purge the contaminated food.

[@criert135]

That makes no sense unless you were all poisoned to some extent. People don’t literally throw up just because they watched someone else do it. That would be a very rare event so an entire room doing it is just unbelievable unless there was some other factor, such as poisoning

[@catherinebirch2399]

She must have really been hitting the bottle.

[@rodrigocoockiemonster4460]

​@@criert135 You vomit because something provokes great disgust in you, a smell, a sight, a feeling If girl A vomits and girl B finds it nasty she might vomit, the horrid smell of puke in a poorly ventilated area along the sight of half digested food makes boy A vomit, along his two buddies girl C and boy B, a chain reaction starts to occur, imagine vomit, now imagine a room full of it, the mix of both vomit and food mixing, their scent intertwining, the sight of multiple people vomiting, some on the floor, some on top of food, some on top of you. You puke too. Hell begins and without moments notice you are in a Monty Pytho sketch.

[@1632milos]

John Cleese does the waiter with perfection! Love it. Gaston! Another bucket for Monsieur!

[@mancebo7]

Make that "Garçon"! 😀

[@LittleOldLady1]

"Better?" "Better get me a bucket. I'm going to throw up..." Marvellous.

[@reiki2guy]

Sickest and funniest skit Monty Python ever did...bar none. I love this!

[@PhilCulmer]

With at least 1 of the extras, it was apparently real - so I hear, the fake stuff got rather ripe after a day under the lights, and when he felt himself "going", he turned towards the camera so as not to waste the opportunity.

[@colibri1]

It was so funny seeing this in the cinema when it had just come out. The audience was alternating between growns and convulsant laughter. I was doubled over I was laughing so hard.

[@DVincentW]

Its just that I am having a rather heavy period & I dont want to start bleeding all over the seats! bloody laugh out fuggin loud great shit

[@TheNeeenha]

no $hitte LOL

[@hobbesnblue]

"I'm having rather a heavy period..." "...and I don't want to start bleeding all over the seats!" Best part of that scene for me.

[@mancebo7]

Terry Jones is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT at playing the part. It REALLY looks like he is hopelessly and pathologically sick in his guts!

[@pipebombpete.6861]

He's covered in fake vomit that's made to look real.he probably was queazy

[@JohnNeil-i9c]

The pythons were the beatles of comedy.

[@criert135]

I like how that danger theme plays when he walks in, like the Jaws theme

[@Narrifani]

"And how would ye like it? All mixed up in the bucket?" lol

[@travjt2]

So appreciative for Monty Python to have Caseoh play a character

[@BabbleOn777]

I member watching this on pay TV after it was released in the early 80s, along with films like The Thing, Poltergeist, and numerous other horror films, this scene did what it was supposed to do to 11 yr old kids staying home from school. It messed us up. Bless the Goon squad.

[@MilitaryFan-ds5in]

It’s Caseoh found footage

[@tsartodd]

the skit that insured Terry Jones's permanent place in the Comedy Hall of Fame XD

[@NewHamburgShenanigans]

Mr. Creosote is our government. The cleaning woman is average people.

[@DH-rj2kv]

Not learning anything all their life and rabidly antisemitic?

[@DerivedEnergy]

This is a metaphor for mankind gorging itself on its needs, wants and desires before it meets a destructive and undignified end.

[@hubabuba3805]

Caseoh

[@Crocfan20]

Damn....no wonder those people left when Creosote started eating,the man was a true slob X3

[@colibri1]

As great as it is to watch this by yourself on a computer commenting to other individual viewers, it was something else entirely to see this in the theatre when it was just out. The big screen just intensifies it. People were choking with laughter while at the same time groaning with disgust. My friends and I back in '83 were laughing so hard we were falling out of our seats. I always wondered, though, why they chose to set this scene in the 1930s.

[@sperglord3825]

The way the waiter immediately runs and takes cover after feeding Mr Creosote the mint, like he knew what was going to happen before he did. This was an assassination attempt.

[@pepsicola4718]

This is the perfect video to watch when you know you need to throw up, but you need to think about something to get you there.

[@Chodaboy65]

I'm having rather a heavy period....and I don't want to start BLEEDING all over the seats! HAHAHAHHAHHHHAHHAH

[@tuxguys]

Never have I been both so nauseated and, at the same time,so pummeled with hilarity, as I have by the first two thirds of this. (It's a testament to the comedic gifts of Terry Jones that he so credibly plays Mr. Creosote in the first part, and the charwoman in the second.)

[@squarepusher645]

Kinda spooked me as a child, but has to be one of my Favorite monty moments. Brilliant, thanks for the UP.

[@KiannarratheDemon666]

"Don't skimp on the pate." 'It's only a waff-eer thin mint" My family uses these lines all the time. Nothing is better than Monty Python.

[@Mrblancnoir]

The first time I saw this I almost laughed myself to death. I was crying, and could not breath for laughing so hard. I've seen it a million times and it still makes me laugh outloud.

[@Emmamoo]

I love how John Cleese hops over the plants when he's about to explode haha

[@Natedawg38]

That period joke is beyond amazing.

[@TH3SC4R3CR0W]

LMFAO "I couldnt eat another thing i'm absolutely stuffed, bugger off" BOOM! xD

[@joliebokeh1958]

This shit disturbed me as a child

[@wickedfeylady]

Carol is so underrated..she definetely holds her own with these brilliant guys when she gets a chance

[@flappospammo]

still one of the funniest and most outrageous things i've ever seen , even after all these years sheer genius

[@BigMike007-p7i]

After when he exploded everybody looks at him and they said oh my God, he's gonna big hole in his belly I'm out of here.

[@Wolfmanjay]

I saw this as a kid and my mom made me change the channel. I immediately went to my room and found the channel playing it and watched it. Laughed the entire time. I think I need help ....

[@rayandreina]

Original date of release: March 31, 1983 -- from (what is now) Universal Studios Los Angeles, filmed on British soil (Bayswater, London, England).

[@VXIXXIVLIII]

This is, without doubt, my favorite single Monty Python sketch.

[@PooBrainBatman]

I haven't seen this since I was a kid. It still makes me howl with laughter while I crinkle my toes!

[@Legohaiden]

when you can walk into a restaurant and literally vomit all over the place including the people and the head waiter still treats you like royalty, ignoring it all and treating it like its just another day, a trivial thing..... You know you got money... the kind of money that makes things right, no matter how wrong.

[@stonemanofgardnerville1162]

The cooks in the back "welp....thats my shift early...see yah bitches" *walks off into a dark french town*

[@ManuManu-lv5hv]

Le raffinement a la Française visité par l'humour à l'anglaise ☝😂 Grande époque que fut celle des Monthy Python 🎉

[@GoldSabre]

Don't want to go bleeding all over the seat! Oh boy, I have trodden in ze bucket.

[@DustyGamma]

Not just a classic, but a classic upload! Happy 17 years!

[@tonyhill1264]

This is probably one of the most brilliant, hilarious and disgusting scenes ever put on film in the history of pictures.😊

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

Saw this is a kid and it traumatized me. One of numerous things. Needless to say I never really ate until I felt overly full, and was underweight all the way into college But I later learned this isn't the only representation of gluttony.

[@RedneckAdonis]

The customer service was splendid! Bravo bravo!

[@InterwebzHasYou]

"It's just that we have to go. I'm having rather a heavy period." This is what everyone should use as an excuse to leave an event early. Man or woman.

[@srubi74]

I saw this when I was 8, and at the time I thought it was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. When you are 8 years old, vomit is very funny.

[@KingLashiec]

He didn't even wait for the second bucket. He puked on the cleaning woman. XD

[@HopSkipLimp]

Oh and apparently, Quentin "Gut's-&-Gore" Tarantino thinks this sketch is too grose.

[@ImAmWatching]

God, its so funny when he's deliberately being sick on the cleaning woman.

[@dthtoneocons1]

I saw The Meaning of Life at the theater, (Matinee) when it was released in 1983. I'd say one quarter of the Audience left after the Catholic/ Protestant "Debate". "Every Sperm is Sacred". And another quarter after Mr. Creosote ,vomited, and vomited somemore, and ultimately exploded. I personally thought Python's Meaning of life was second only to In Search of the Holy Grail. And, Cleese, Palin, Chapman, Jones, Idle ,and Gilliam were all accused of Blasphemy for the third time.

[@DebraRinconLopez]

I used to watch Monty Python all the time. THEY are soo funny always! I love British humor all from the BBC television is one of my favorite channels I watch almost everyday now. I love it.,

[@drboogersnot]

Oh my God, John Cleese fucking kills me in this one...

[@nexus5253]

This is the best example of why you shouldn’t eat while watching a movie like this.

[@hughmann1537]

Captions are having one hell of a time with this one.....😂

[@dark7element]

"Wafer-thin mint OF THE NORTH STAR! You are already dead, monsieur!" Creosote: "HIDEBU!!!" *kaboom*

[@gimpscam9976]

Just realized this must be the guy the Mr glutton dude was based off of in the ghostbusters video game. Even down to the waistcoat.

[@gp-1542]

That poor cleaning lady

[@Kepley100]

This is one of the funniest moments from the Monty Python troupe in anything they have done! John Cleese is perfect as the unflappable maitre d' who keeps a straight face throughout! And Terry Jones (who directed the whole film) delivers a tour-de-force as Mr. Creosote and Maria! Did you know that Quentin Tarantino gets nauseated by this scene? Waffeur-thin mint FTW!

[@fani5000]

"its just a tiny mint..." one of my favorite monty python scenes and actually the one following this one, where the other waitor Eric Idle makes the camera follow him for a long time for nothing!

[@krisscanlon4051]

I'll have the lot ! Shaddup! The contrast tween his vomiting excess and all the beauty of the place plus his usage of French...kicker was Cleveland going on about her heavy cycle😂 they were masters making their last film😂

[@krisscanlon4051]

The detail on Creosotes body is amazing...pocket watch still hanging 😂 in place

[@kvsyaoran727]

I think I get it. Mr Creosote i think is purposely vomiting to make room to eat more. Ruining the restaurant, scaring away customers, and stuffing his own face.

[@sniperpistol50]

4:43 pin pulled on grenade 5:07 fire in the hole 5:41 what is he picking up? 7:16 i agree completly

[@tsartodd]

"i hope monsieur was not overdoing it last night?" "SHUT UP!!!!!' "d'accord!!" XD XD

[@cl0vvntiem]

Ahh, such a perfect execution of crude humor. Love this sketch.

[@Raidmasterprod]

Here's what to do 1. Pause at 4:56 2. Bring up a new tab/window 3. Look up 'The rise and fall of Tetsuo' 4. Mute audio of that video 5. Wait until 0:17 on THAT video 6. Unpause THIS video 7. Enjoy and also try to imagine Tetsuo blowing up. :-)

[@Roflcopter147]

Between wincing, laughing, and swallowing uncomfortably I don't know what to think about this.

[@briggsy4799]

every american in an european's mind

[@milesmouse72]

this is one of the most nasty, but funny gross scenes ever made. I'm guessing he gave him the mint to make him explode.....put him out of everyones misery lolol

[@Stephie2007]

*hits the deck* LOOK OUT! HE'S GONNA BLOW!

[@QuigleyYT]

Ah yes, I remember this scene in triangle of sadness

[@nightmare-pt5ny]

(Insert Caseoh gif here)

[@xhellonhighheels69x]

They made this sketch the perfect length. If it were any longer or more extreme it would have been too much, but what they did was perfect! :D~

[@Elephantintheroom01]

The place was a Mc.Donalds before Mr.Creosote moved in.

[@Ramblin-Man]

I actually worked in stinking creosote factory for some 27 years. I'm the real Mr. Creosote...; -)

[@gman8471]

I love the way Cleese hurdles over those plants.

[@joshuawadsworth6417]

Caseoh's daily dinner.

[@AllanCav]

Apparently one of the extras was so grossed out he puked for real and you can see it in the background at the end.

[@mdincaa3]

i will never tire of that french accent. never ever ever ever everr not even after watching the holy grail 1098309431847184 times.

[@raithrover1976]

They used minestrone soup. Couldn't have smelled that bad.

[@nellybean01]

In my opinion the BEST python sketch ever!!

[@cpmisalive]

Classic Python, "it's only wafer thin" - anyone planning to lose weight as part of their "New Year's Resolution" strategy???

[@PetShopMod]

'Ooww are wee tooday' 'Better' 'Bet-tarr?' "Better get a bucket!' lmao. God bless monty python

[@NoxiousRob]

@hell5309 The joke here is that the party at that table are so desparate to get away, without offending the quality of food or service of the restaurant, that in a moment of panic the lady blurts out the first excuse that enters her head, without thinking. Then the guy mentions they have a train to catch, which is a much better thought out excuse - you can almost see her thinking "shit - I wish I'd thought of that".

[@Darkstar263]

I remember when I first watched this scene. I was so disgusted by it that I was too squeamish to watch it again. Until now. Now, I still find it disgusting. But also hilarious at the same time.

[@GeexEpix]

Monty Python is freaking brilliant..!

[@flappospammo]

all mixed together in a bucket with eggs on top GENIUS !!

[@MainHeretic]

Fun fact: The extra who puked in this scene was genuinely nauseated, and he genuinely threw up. Mr. Creosote definitely knows how to gross people out.

[@archangel9363]

this has to be Monty's best sketch!

[@Tareltonlives]

Fun fact: The fake vomit was made of cold vegetable soup.

[@LORDOFDOOM13]

Next tiem someone asks me "how are you?" Im gonna say "better"

[@sulijoo]

I know this is supposed to be gross - and it is - but after a while you forget that and just laugh at the utter absurdity of it all.

[@Tareltonlives]

That's right. The only reason it made it was because Cleese loved the idea of the waiter's character.
