Reacting to MONTY PYTHON'S AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (1971) | Movie Reaction

I love the part in the "funniest joke in the world" where they say they had to split it up into pieces otherwise it was too dangerous and that once someone saw two words at the same time and wound up in the hospital.

[@oscardiggs246]

Highly recommend Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Seeing these skits done live is a whole new level of absurdity.

[@southron_d1349]

I once had "Monty Python's Complete Waste of Time" for Windows. It included screensavers, sketch out-takes, wallpaper, games, and keyboard sounds. It was a lot of fun and absolutely lived up to its name.

[@simontay4851]

I still have it. I use some of the sounds from it for system events.

[@chadbennett7873]

There's just nothing better, or funnier, than watching you laugh, and commenting. I don't think anybody appreciates comedy more than you! Much love, Dawn!!

[@RevStickleback]

I used to watch Monty Python as a kid, when I was about 7 or 8. I loved "Nudge, nudge, wink wink, say no more, say no more" even though I didn't have a clue what it was about.

[@adamkatt]

I just love how much you laugh at monty python. My mother showed me these guys when i was in 5th grade, early 80s. loved them ever since!

[@manxdarcqpaw744]

Back in the 80's, this film was my first introduction to Monty Python, so it has always held a special place in my sense of humor. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jb888888888]

17:40 In 2002 the following was voted as the funniest joke in the world: Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"

[@richardfordham931]

"Live at the Hollywood Bowl" is a bunch of their classic sketches with some new material live on stage.

[@gerald112b]

Thanks Dawn Marie. Hollywood bowl is worth watching . Think it has a few sketches you've not seen before. Also there's Ripping Yarns. Michael Palin's side project in the 70s and then there's John Cleese's cameo in Firefly (kidding) 😄

[@greenmonsterprod]

And "The Rutles: All You need is Cash", with Eric and Michael, plus a few surprise guests.

[@jcr9520]

I’ve got a book of all the scripts from Ripping Yarns. My step dad got it back when the show was on. The whole family was pretty much on board with anything Python or Python adjacent.

[@LemurianJones]

There's a movie from 1983 called Yellowbeard. It's not a Python movie, but it does have Graham, John and Eric in it.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Don't forget Peter Boyle and Marty Feldman, the two Yanks and James Mason in his last (?) role...

[@347Jimmy]

Plus Spike Milligan and both of Cheech & Chong

[@shattaredentertainment4782]

I dont know if youve done it yet but there one called "A liars autobiography" thats a autobigraphy on graham chapman before he passed away. It has the pythons in it aswell as other actors. Its really good.

[@salishseamermaid]

You have the greatest laugh. 😂 My family have been saying "He's pining for the fjords" about anything dead for decades.

[@vaughngrimes4374]

🤣

[@dadoctah]

I came perilously close to running through the entire center part of the routine (Cleese rattling off one euphemism for death after another) after my mother passed away and I couldn't get the people at Dish Network to understand that I wanted to cancel her service, not just move it "to her new address". Everyone has their favorite bits from the series, but could we put together a "best-known" list, the ones that everyone recognizes from any short reference? Off the top of my head, the list would include: Dead Parrot Lumberjack Spam Spanish Inquisition Minister of Silly Walks Argument Clinic

[@salishseamermaid]

@@dadoctah OMG your comment just made me snort-laugh. 😂🤣 I'm very sorry about your mother, but I can absolutely imagine having that conversation. 🤣

[@MisterUnlikely]

I don't know if you've done Monty Python's Meaning of Life yet; you might also enjoy the TV Series done of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and the pilot done by Graham Chapman and Douglas Adams called "Out of the Trees."

[@Packard63]

Laughing can be contagious and your laugh is super contagious and so enjoyable all the way through this reaction. It is always so much fun to re visit the early Monty Python .

[@BronyDanProductions]

Ah, the return of the Pythons. It would be cool to see you react to ‘Monty Python: Almost the Truth’, the six part documentary series, with the five surviving Pythons (At the time), which chronicles everything from where they started right up 2009.

[@TheseDarkWoods]

That is seriously one of my favourite documentaries ever. It’s SO good!!

[@twofacetoo75]

It might be a bit soon to watch it right after THIS, but you should definitely check out 'Monty Python Live (Mostly)'. It was a big reunion show they did back in 2014, with all 5 of the surviving members coming back to perform their most famous skits on stage, complete with musical numbers, new jokes, improv'd lines, flubbed lines, celebrity cameos and a huge repetoire of extras and dancers to turn every scene into a gigantic event. As said, it's basically the same thing you just watched here (a 'best of' of the show), so it may be too soon to do it, but it's absolutely worth a shot. It was great to see them all back together after so many years, revisiting so many of their greatest hits, all with a massive crowd laughing along every second.

[@Deegee_1969]

It was good to see them all again, even more so now that two have shuffled off this mortal coil. This was my introduction to the Pythons, or stumbling onto the tv station whilst the dancing statue of Venus was being shown. I never knew what hit me, being doubled-up with laughter and I was hooked on their comedy from there on. The "Live at the Hollywood Bowl" show is the Pythons on stage doing their routines as usual, but with some audience participation thrown in sometimes. There are a couple of new sketches there too. Also, there's two episodes the Pythons did for German TV, and they do contain some new stuff.

[@billbabcock1833]

This reaction was fun. My introduction to Python was this movie. Here in the US it wasn't on TV in 1971. Eventually they put reruns of the show on Public TV. I still have all of their vinyl albums.

[@russrollins9978]

I was introduced to Monty Python's Flying Circus shortly after it started appearing on a public television station here in Vermont in the mid 1970's. I was about 17 years old at the time. It became a weekly obsession for my friends and I. We would get toasted, and settle in for some of the strangest stuff we had ever seen on TV. I had seen Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, so I was a little used to weirdness in a TV show, but Monty Python even out weirded that show. You might want to check out Rowan & Martin at some point. They even had Richard Nixon on as a guest shortly before he became President.

[@glennrandall7468]

Meaning of life is a absolutely hilarious Monty python movie

[@thersites3173]

A few funny westerns you might like are "Support Your Local Sheriff", "Support Your Local Gunfighter", "Maverick" and "The Three Amigos".

[@dennismason3740]

Dawn gets Python, unlike puzzled and intrigued show responders rife in KZbin.

[@nigelelliott4901]

There's the episodes they did for German TV & the albums, which had sketches that didn't appear anywhere else.

Standing in any queue would bring on a spate of passed-along quotes. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink... it only took the slightest...

[@johnfriday5169]

Live at the Hollywood Bowl is one of my favorites.

[@puppyash9656]

The interesting thing about this, is that it is all re-shoots of some of the classic tv-skits. you can really see how all of them has perfected their acting since the early days, and following the big screen productions.

[@premanadi]

It's from 1971 (while they were still making the TV show) and predates all their other films. I prefer the TV versions of all of these sketches. The film feels a but barren, maybe due to the lack of a studio audience responding. I saw it when it came out in '71, so at least I was surrounded by other laughing people.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

Hi Dawn Marie. Python had some of the greatest comedy writing of all time. My favorite is "The Lumberjack Song" as it takes place in the mighty forests of British Columbia where I live. By the way many years ago my Father was a real lumberjack. He never wore woman's clothing though, but did hang around in bars sometimes! 😂😂

[@harpothehealer]

Great reaction, Monty Python's 'Hells Grannies' is genius

[@DevlinDomini]

It was worth staying until the end for the extra kisses. Yes, laughter is contagious and I keep coming back for the comedies, but am really glad you’ve done things like the westerns and Alfred Hitchcock too.

I am so glad that Dawn laughed so hard it made her face hurt!😂 I wonder about the responses to this "And Now for Something Completely Different" compared to the " Monty Python's Flying Circus?" Someday I hope you will react to the movie "Labyrinth", written by Terry Jones, Produced by Jim Hensen Productions! You and your kids will love it! well O.K. I don't really know? This is before C.G. But the puppets are incredible! And so is the performance.....increidible! this is such a land mark between physical and digital. Just watch it! This is a really good story to be told!✌💜

[@chefskiss6179]

I can't BEGIN to tell you how many times all throughout our schooling not a week would go by without someone spouting a "yeah aw'right" 😂😂😂 Monty Python was/is a gift to the world. Do you now recognize John Cleese as Nearly Headless Nick from Harry Potter? ....what's it like? 😂

My Grandparent's raised me, and they ran a Diner. What the cruel kid's I went to school with called a "Greasy Spoon". The Diner was open from 8:00am to 4:00am every Friday and Saturday night's. From age 10 I worked from 11:00pm till 4:00am. There was a room off the main kitchen with comfy chair's and a TV. Every weekend I'd watch SNL (Saturday Night Live) at 11:00, while peeling 50 pound's of potatoes for french fries. Then "Monty Python" would come on, uncensored. This was the early 70's, so thing's were different. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!! I wish I was 40 year's younger and Scottish!!! Same nudge, nudge OH, YOU GET IT!!!!

[@MrUndersolo]

Saw this when I was 9 or 10. My first Python film and a great gateway drug to that world!

[@geoffphillips5293]

The joke is "my dog's got no nose, how does he smell? Awful"

[@ink-cow]

After you've completely exhausted the Python collection, you might enjoy some films by one of Cleese's inspirations, W.C. Fields. Cleese did a short tribute film pointing out that he was doing surreal "Pythonesque" bits long before they came along. Fields was often a rapscallion: smoking, swearing, getting revenge on small children. He was at his best when the studio wasn't meddling so much: It's A Gift and The Bank Dick are particular standouts. His late classic Never Give A Sucker An Even Break is his wildest, most surreal adventure. I have a particular fondness for The Bank Dick, because Fields creates this whole little cartoon town. Everyone there is as off-kilter as he is. You could combine comedy and westerns by doing My Little Chickadee, a film he shared star billing with Mae West (who I think wrote most of the script, apart from his own material).

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

That's exact why W.C, Fields got on the cover of the "Sgt. Pepper" album from the Beatles...

[@Fulschermd]

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed watching a reaction this much… love your laugh 😂

[@tenmark7055]

Before the internet, before BBC America this movie landed in the US to absolutely no attention. I won a pair of tickets in a contest for something called "And Now For Something Completely Different." We were the only 2 people in the only movie theatre where you could see this. And we then came back a day later because we didnt believe what we saw the night before. It took a ferw years till the rest of the country caught up with us.

[@williamjones6031]

I stumbled across this when I was a kid in the 70s, and it was something completely different.

After they filmed the battle recreation in the mud, which Michael had organised, John was expecting them to be able to clean up straight away. Instead, they had a lengthy drive back to their hotel and he was not happy, blaming it on "Bloody northerners".

[@DevlinDomini]

Yellowbeard is sort of a Python movie. And there’s also The Rutles (two of those). With the Hollywood Bowl you still have a few nuggets left.

17:40 What is the world's funniest joke? According to a certain 2002 study, this joke won a world-wide joke poll: Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says "OK, now what?" The joke that was submitted the most in the poll was: Q: What is brown and sticky? A: A stick.

[@mikecronis]

This movie was generally a compilation of their TV show redone with some changes, and it's awesome. Dawn laughing is like hearing music.

[@saikoteeki]

Your joy is the bright spot of my day.

[@Sp33gan]

I laughed as much at the memories and the movie as I did from watching you laughing. Proof that Python never grows old, staying as fresh as ever, despite the copycats who have followed in their wake. For me, the lumberjack sketch will always hold a special place as I live alongside one of those "mighty rivers of British Columbia". As for what to react to, choose what you wish, as you've obviously got a wide variety of tastes. I've enjoyed watching you watching them all.

[@skylinerunner1695]

Don't miss the one-off special called 'How To Irritate People'. It was written by and stars John Cleese, Graham Chapman and others in a series of sketches on the theme of highly annoying characters. It also stars Michael Palin and Connie Booth.

[@tatankha1]

I love that you enjoy the pythons so much. I'd guess you're about a third of my age and so into humour from my young days. Thank you for bringing them to a younger and wider audience.

[@JuandeFucaU]

I saw all the Pythons (except Graham who had died somewhat recently) and it was them on stage sitting on couches and chairs, with Graham's urn respectfully on a table in front..... of course, halfway through the evening, that urn got "accidentally bumped" and the ashes wound up all over the stage and themselves as they all tried absurdly to maintain composure.

[@radicaladz]

Monty Python at the Hollywood Bowl includes Silly Walks as well as my favourite sketch, The Last Supper.

[@topperharley1536]

Your laughing is sooo cool

[@blortmeister]

Those who get the Pythons are doomed to repeat it. Or something. BTW, have you considered watching Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits? Or the Terry J-penned Labyrinth? Cleese in A Fish Called Wanda? Or, well, there's so many.....

[@namelessjedi2242]

Monty Python also did a number of industrial films that were not meant to be seen by the general public, but you can find them around now.

[@chrisedwards7095]

In 1976 Mel Brooks made a silent movie. He called it "Silent Movie" It took him six months to come up with the title.

The only spoken line was uttered by Marcel Marceau, the famous mime artist.

[@timkinss]

Just as it's sad to think of you not having any more Michael to watch... has anyone so far recommended 'Ripping Yarns'? It's a show he made with Terry Jones, where each episode is a spoof of an old fashioned type of story, like the boys school stories etc. My favourite is 'The Ballad of Eric Olthwaite' where Michael plays an incredibly sweet and boring chap who just likes rain measurements, and him accidentally becoming a robber... It's really silly and fun. The whole thing is only two series so it might work for you, or maybe just do a couple. It's REALLY good and well thought of. And it's all Michael, all the time ❤

[@adamadams2753]

This film was made before they did the Argument Clinic sketch, so the omission of that one is understandable.

I’ve loved Monty Python since the 70’s. Ahead of their time comedy wise.

[@plaidgriffin]

I see that several people have listed out all the other Monty Python content out there as well as non-Python movies starring one or more of your boys. But one that I didn’t see mentioned is “Not the Messiah (He’s a Very Naughty Boy)”. It was written by Eric Idle and a composer. It’s a “comic oratorio inspired by Life Of Brian for orchestra, soloists, and choir and was performed at the Royal Albert Hall”. A unique presentation and just as hilarious as any other content with a few familiar bits thrown in for good measure. I think it’s worth checking out.

[@western302]

In 1972 a good friend of mine who was working on his doctorate at Rice University in Houston invited me and my wife to a viewing of this film, which I had never heard of before. In fact, at that point in my life I had never heard of Monty Python. It was being shown at the student union for a small group and we all smoked a lot of pot before showing up for the screening. Anyway, to this day I don't believe I have ever laughed so hard... I think I might have blown out my spleen (not really, I think).

[@LordVolkov]

There is one more Python 'feature' to catch. About 9 years ago, they did a (mostly) live production called 'One Down, Five To Go'. It's worth seeking out.

[@sharkdentures3247]

Ever since I was young, John Cleese exclaiming "My nipples explode with delight!" has always held a special place in my funny bone. And yeah, "nudge, nudge" is such a classic, me and my goofy friends did it a LOT with each other.

“Born Yesterday” unique Rimcnm with the inimitable Judy Holiday👌

[@dadoctah]

There is actually a sort of real-world contender for the funniest joke in the world, the joke that nobody can hear and live, and it has an indirect Python connection. Another comedy troupe who in various combinations worked with members of MP called "The Goodies" had a TV series that ran all through the 1970s. A man in Norfolk, Alex Mitchell, died from laughing watching a 1975 episode in which one of the Goodies demonstrates a "Lancastrian marital art" called ecky-thump that involves clubbing one's opponent with black puddings. (There are other accounts that credit the death to a sketch where someone wrestles with a bagpipe like it's a giant octopus, but the ecky-thump version is more reliably documented.)

[@thomasharris4942]

There's still one more: Live at the Hollywood Bowl! The boys do their skits live to an American audience. It's a tour of greatest hits (Albatross!) and a few new bits thrown in. And there are 400% more bums than in a typical episode of Python.

[@gggooding]

[@mr.a8315]

Fab reaction. 😂♥ You would love a Python-esque comedy documentary called 'The Rutles'. It stars Eric Idle and Neil Innes, who is often called the "seventh Python". And is an affectionate spoof on The Beatles, but in the world of The Rutles.. The Beatles never existed and it's as if The Rutles are The Beatles. Idk if I've explained this well, haha. But I guarantee you will laugh your head off and love the whole thing. If you can watch it without laughing, I will Patreon for a whole year.

[@terryhughes7349]

30 minutes of giggling. Nice way to spend Saturday.

[@phosphorescentscotsman]

This is a compilation of skits from the 1st & 2nd series (with new linking material) filmed at a disused dairy in the summer of 1971. Victor Lownes paid the lads 60,000 lbs in order to make a film for his fledgling production company (playboy films) It did decent business in the UK, but went largely unnoticed in America.
