REACTING TO MONTY PYTHON | Self-Defense Against Fruit!

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

“Poin-Ted stick” has been part of my vocabulary for ages because of this.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

Fruit as a weapon is no joke. Captain Edmund Blackadder once saved General Haig from a pygmy armed with a sharpened mango.

[@MeganRuth]

Oh of course!!

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

Ähm... Actually, it's fieldmarshall Haig...

[@keithewright]

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Umboto Gorge was years ago, Haig was promoted after it took place

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

@@keithewright That didn't change the fact. He's at the time, fieldmarshall. And that's how he's to be titled...

The weird thing about this sketch wasn’t so much the self defence against fruit, it was more thinking of things like mango, passion fruit and pomegranate all before a banana

[@MeganRuth]

Aha very true!

[@argelbargel7680]

I never leave the house without a gun, a 16-ton weight, and a tiger.

[@johngoward9708]

I once suffered an attack by a pointed stick when i accidentally sat on my mothers knitting needle as a kid, i still have the scar to this day 😂

[@drgoremd]

Shut Up!

[@gj8683]

I wonder how long it took Cleese to get his voice back after that.

[@jontastic]

Raspberry and peach are my favorites. Raspberries are delicate and should be eaten soon after picking. Peaches are best tree ripened, until they soften to the touch. Once ripe they are less effective in hand to hand combat. Some places call nuts, dry fruit, as they are the fruit of certain trees and drier than other fruit. Coconuts make excellent weapons. 😂

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

A "pointed stick" makes sense actually as a defence mechanism against attacking fruit. You can impale the offending fruit onto your "pointed stick" and make a vegetarian shish kebab ! Hmmmm ? Shall we go halves on the copyright for this Megan ? X😉

[@OzzybinOswald]

This is where the band The Pointed Sticks took their name from.

[@misterprecocious2491]

It's a shame that they never made a sequel to this 'self defence against vegetables', due to a incident at Christmas 2010 I have never walk past brussel sprouts without breaking into a sweat😨

[@777petew]

They are excellent defence techniques if you have a phobia about fruit.

[@alundavies1016]

Fructophobia

[@MeganRuth]

Indeed! 😂

[@FalcomScott312]

Good morning Megan, how are you? This bloke John Cleese was so bloody hilarious 😂 in this scene here! 🤣 Have a beautiful weekend! ❤️

[@MeganRuth]

Thanks Falcom! Have a great weekend 😊

Hahaha great video Megan, all good advice there !😂👍

a pineapple with pointed sticks?

[@lifelover515]

Occasionally, very occasionally, you'll come across an MP sketch which is just outdated and plain silly by modern standards, and this is one of those. But when you're as prolific as they were, it's bound to happen. Keep 'em coming, Meg. More Fawlty Towers, please - no duds there.

[@dupersuper1938]

How in the world is it "outdated"? Have there been a lot of advances in fruit weaponization since the 70s?

[@popuptarget7386]

I have slightly updated my tiger technique by employing bad tempered housecats.

[@Sighman]

Outdated how? 16 ton weights are still highly effective on unwanted callers, and I haven't had a single bill in the mail since I got a tiger.

[@shaunjp2211]

As you've got a thing for raspberries check out the phantom raspberry blower of old London Town ( The Two Ronnie's) be terribly careful as this can be dangerous lol.

[@leejones2640]

Hi Meg, I grew up with Monty Python. I always thought some of it was bloody hilarious, but sometimes it was silly rather than funny. Btw, I would love to see your reactions to slightly more modern content, maybe Outnumbered or Extras?

[@user-oe9hj9yl7m]

Never seen that Ruth . Brilliant

[@MrEAus]

If you hadn't seen it...does that mean... you also didn't... "expect" it..? Then again... NOBODY expects...😏😏

[@TheRedDevil-1968]

Hi Megan. Hope you are well sweet. One question for you..."Do you have a pointed stick ? " 😉 X

[@FloridaMugwump]

I don't know why she thinks skit shows should be shown as individual skits instead of the whole episode. Why not start with s01 e01 like other shows?

[@RobertTaylor-gz2fu]

Many sketches can be enjoyed on their own.

[@FloridaMugwump]

@RobertTaylor-gz2fu The creators did not intend for them to be viewed separately. They often carry forward to other parts of the episode, especially with Monty python.

[@ThunderForce2000]

@@FloridaMugwump If she had reacted to the entire episode it likely would have been heavily edited to avoid a copyright strike.

[@FloridaMugwump]

@@ThunderForce2000 How is that different from showing whole episode of sitcoms.

[@ShadowTrailMedia]

@@FloridaMugwump we just watched her reaction to an entire skit, start to finish. That wouldn't have happened if she reacted to a whole episode, because of the edits for copyright.

[@TheOptimod]

OK but there's a better version of this you need to see with Cleese far more animated and menacing.
