RWT - Communist Cookery

[@rexnemo]

"It's not too late to write in and tell us what your neighbors are doing ." Such wonderful British satire .🤣

[@ricardolorrio8228]

and I am going to write to them about you

[@rexnemo]

@@ricardolorrio8228 I beat you to it comrade

[@niriop]

"Comrade Trotsky had a different recipe for this, but we are, erm, going to *deal* with him..." Although someone like Zinoviev or Bukharin would have been more accurate in saying that line, that was just pure EPIC WIN

[@yournamehere6719]

Really needed an ice-pick joke, IMHO...

[@pacificostudios]

"The future lies in your hands!" and everyone does a "jazz hands" bit. CLASSIC!

[@rutisek]

incidentally it is not too late to write in and tell us what your neighboors are doing.=o)

[@BrucknerMotet]

so clever this line. Any authoritarian regime needs an interminable army of loyal informants, don't you know?

[@The1976spirit]

1:42 "You can´t make an omelette without breaking the kitchen!"

[@jrharrison9597]

Between 1:04 and 1:46 is about the funniest 42 seconds of television I've ever seen.

[@dec13666]

An accurate depiction of... Ahem... History 😂👍.

[@wrestlingpurist9784]

Stalin's solution to everything: SHOOT EVERYTHING ON SIGHT!

[@texwiller4029]

I did research and found out that the clip is not Monty Python, but Rutland Weekend Television. It explains why Lenin is not John Cleese and Marx is not Terry Jones. It also lacks canned laughter.

[@raptorfromthe6ix833]

but eric idle himself was a member of monty python

[@yournamehere6719]

RWT's budget was so small, they could not even afford canned laughter...

[@claresherman2278]

No canned laughter on the BBC. That was a live studio audience.

[@ad47aw]

My favorite Eric Idle skit ever.

[@pacificostudios]

1:46 - I was waiting for a "breaking some eggs" joke.

[@fruitcake4t]

completely mad completely eccentric completely english i love it🙃

[@Kitschensyngk]

After this, watch the "Party Hints by Veronica Smalls" sketch from Monty Python.

[@MarkAdamsCluetrainee]

Cookery Time, with Lenin. Marvellous.

[@EricPollarrd]

Amazed this is still up

[@tafmanlen]

Totally wonderful

[@stanleybob921]

why does lenin have a french accent and stalin have a german one?]

[@AmandaV-qx5mh]

Yeah, Karl Marx should have had the German accent.

[@yournamehere6719]

RWT's budget was too small to hire an accent coach. /s

[@johncopple6479]

It serves 4-6 people. Of course you need to collapse the capitalistic system to feed So Many people. I mean my local Social Justice Bar & Grill serves that many people on there lunch rush from 11am-3pm. Then Happy Hour kicks in with all the freebies.

[@dec13666]

You're trying too hard...

[@samh3805]

POV: You don’t have the vaguest idea of what Communism is, and that it has nothing to do with Social Justice or Free Shit

[@johncopple6479]

@@samh3805 Hi ! How are you? Well I've seen the Movie " REDS " like 10X. And I passed out Lysurgic -Di- Nucleic Mickey Mouse tabs at a Grateful Dead show in San Francisco. So yeah ! That's the extent of my involvement with the CCCP. Comrade ! And P.S. the DNC missed a huge opportunity to support Tulsi Gabbard. She went surfing in February in Vermont. Putin rides horse's shirtless. Damn those two would make the Best Power Couple ever!! Especially now that J Lo & A Rod are Officially Over . Cheers 🍻 Mate!

[@redtexan7053]

SHOOOT!!!

[@silentsniperrr]

MARX PUDDING! YAY!

[@erwingalgo3264]

SOVIET UNION MEMES AND THE NATIONAL ANTHEM INTENSIFIES.

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

They should have had the little one as Trotsky and Innes as one of the others... That's not accurate to Stalin's character either, he'd be sneakier than that.

[@BGNOLA]

Towards the end, it was especially during the Doctor's Plot.

[@obiwankenobi661]

4:10 - i guess now we know where harry styles is getting his "style" from.

[@biggiebagel]

I can't tell the difference between this show and the Labor party conference.

[@tapeduk]

"But now here's Joe with a new way to cook eggs........"

[@wrestlingpurist9784]

SHOOT THE F**K OUTTA ANYTHING THAT MOVES!

[@tapeduk]

Getting to know you---EEEE YAAAAAA--The Kung and I

[@gregrobertson7932]

And check out Communist Game Show

[@DialecticalMaterialismRocks]

the proof is in the pudding

[@tonywebster8582]

In the west, comrade, beehive tossing is COMMON!

[@vincemcgeever3487]

I'm not sure if this was recorded 50 years ago or whether this is from 10 years in the future.

[@cesarsalsa1]

Makes sense there’s no food in the pots

[@sasho_b.]

Damn bro you got the whole squad laughing 😐

[@mandykhoo2473]

Jeremy corbyn should try this recipe

[@AmandaV-qx5mh]

What is this show called?

[@EmileJoulbert]

Rutland Weekend Television. It aired in 1975/76: Two series plus a Christmas special with George Harrison.

[@AmandaV-qx5mh]

@@EmileJoulbert Ok. Thanks 🙂

[@yournamehere6719]

RWT also gave rise to The Rutles, which gained a cult-following status here in the U.S. when SNL gave them a budget to create a short feature. Neil Innes, ex-Bonzo Dog Band, was the musical genius behind it all.

[@kellyneese5216]

USE KEEF.

[@Coldstreamer17]

what is the song they sing?

[@beatlemaniacostarwarsfan4047]

Coldstreamer15 the song is called "Communist Cooking"

[@markschildberg1667]

And it was written by Neil Innes

[@steve1978ger]

Yeah, well. There's a reason this is not as well known as MPFC. It has exactly one joke: "communism bad".

[@sasho_b.]

Not even, they didnt do jack shit with the characters of marx and lenin, the song n dance combined with Joe wanting to shoot everything just dont feel like they are enough. Also obligatory to point out anti communism has been drilled so deep in us yet the fall of capitalism is inevitable and the changing views of the younger generations combined with world chaos makes for a very revolutionary time.

[@100Swaz]

cook

[@MrDonVinny]

Pass the Vodka and anti freeze , comrades.

[@simplyredfern7738]

Wonderful. Maybe we need an update with Putin and Lavrov

[@sasho_b.]

Those fuckers are not and will never be soviets, nor are they communists. But liberalism does stuff to the brain so no surprise you cant tell the difference.

[@Frontfootback]

Joe stalin is hilarious
