The Cheese Shop sketch, Monty Python

Classic Monty Python sketch.

[@mischiefpwns]

the best is you get so used to the background music and when he shouts "SHUT THAT BLOODY DANCING UP!" it catches you offguard and forget its even playing. It makes it about 10x more funnier.

[@Gamer3427]

(Time to reply to a thirteen year old comment I suppose.) I'd say it's also arguably just as good on a rewatch after not having seen it for quite some time, as then you remember that he yells at them to stop, but don't remember when exactly, so the whole time you're noticing the music even more and waiting for him to snap.

I was in a small town in Texas, walking down the Main Street, when I saw a sign for “Cheeses of the World.” I crossed the street to look in the window. It was either recently shut down or just about to newly open. It was closed, all of the shelving was up, and there were zero “cheesy comestibles” on the premises. I could only laugh heartily to myself. I really wanted to share that moment with someone. I felt like it was a setup.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

@@BakedRBeans Somewhat of a coincidence; I haven't listened to the radio for years (I prefer listening to music that I have downloaded), but this morning, as I was driving to work, I put the radio on. I received the car in September, and haven't used the radio, so it just came on to Radio 2. Guess who was on? And literally, within a few seconds of tuning in, he was explaining that his father got sick of people taking the mickey out of his name (I think from 1915, when he joined the army and fought in France for 3 years) and changed it from Cheese to Cleese. John Cleese then said that people at school never seemed to hear his name properly, anyway, and thought that maybe it was "Creeves" or something similar.

[@KrillLiberator]

It's a good sketch, bordering on great, but the 'Cheese Shop' game in the Brand New Monty Python Bok is a true classic. One player is the cheese shop owner, the other player is the customer. Game goes like this: 1) Shop owner and customer exchange pleasantries. 2) Shop owner asks how he can help. 3) Customer asks for a variety of cheese. 4) Shop owner offers an excuse for the lack of said cheese in stock (a simple "No" is okay, or numerous variations upon such. however, points are awarded for creative excuses - "Not since the Great Moroccan Curd Shortage of 1978, I'm afraid Sir" and so forth). 5) Customer asks for a *different* variety of cheesy comestible. 6) Shop owner offers a *different* excuse for not having any of said fromage in stock. 7) Game continues in this fashion until one player either a) cannot think of a new cheese/excuse, or b) repeats a cheese/excuse. Great at parties. Can empty entire front rooms.

[@LPSChocolateChips]

definitely playing that at Christmas

[@portcullis5622]

A friend and I used to play a game a bit like that. A kind of 'celebrity tennis'. I think it started with 'Brians'. One of us would name someone relatively famous (or at least known to both of us, such as ex-teachers) who was called Brian, and the other had to respond. The winner was the player that got the last Brian. 'Brians' and 'Bobs' could be quite long matches, whereas 'Quentins' was usually a 2-2 draw (after "Crisp", "Blake", "Letts" and "Tarantino"). I knew of someone with the splendid name of Quentin Goggs, but was not allowed that one! As you can imagine, the long winter evenings used to simply fly by!

[@Spamcan81]

Lucky bastard

[@keydetpiper]

That's the genius of Monty Python. They avoid a lot of the expected structure of the comedy sketch, often including the punchline, and leave you giggling and at the same time wondering if it really was funny. On repeated viewings (often many repetitions), it just gets funnier as you listen to the skill with which the dialogue is sculpted.

Benny Hill, Monty Python and Marty Feldman -- true comedic geniuses! In the very early 1970's we didn't have many TV channels and most went off the air before midnight. Luckily, my family lived in Michigan and we received Ontario, Canada TV broadcasts late at night. That's when Hill's and Python's shows were broadcast. Good times...!

The Pythons borrowed a lot from Benny Hill.

[@schaferhundschmidt1798]

[@davecorry7723]

Such an unusual humour. After the third cheese, you know exactly where the sketch is heading, and you just _want_ to go there. The destination doesn't matter, it's the journey of the joke that _is_ the joke. The god-tier knowledge of cheeses is _precisely_ what you want from the chap bringing you on that journey; in fact, it wouldn't work any other way.

[@calebclunie4001]

True story. I was traveling with family, in Oregon, or Far Northern California, about 27, or 30 years ago, and stopped in to a KFC. We did ask for chicken, but were informed that they could not supply the dish, as their shipment of said bird, had not arrived. Someone had stolen the delivery truck. Purloined the parcels of poultry. Lifted the luncheon lorry. Made off with the meals of molters. Hijacked the hundreds of hen hocks. Deleted the delivery of drumsticks. Cancelled the conveyance of cockadoodledoos. Five finger discounted the fatted fowl flanks. Burgled the breasts of the brood. Absconded with the avian appendages. Thieved up the thighs, thoroughly. Spirited away the succulent spit spinners. Raided the rotisserie ripened roosters. Wait one finger-licking, chicken-pickin', cluckin' pluckin'-truckin', moment! Someone up and Kiped the F*cking Cluckwagon? Well...What sides do you have? It was all on the truck, you say? My question would be, "Why are you employees here, with the doors unlocked, other than to setup comical scenarios?" Ahhh! Do I smell a motive? Well it certainly isn't anything from the kitchen. Apparently, this had happened to the poor (but rich in humor) folks twice, in a short span of time. I would have wished them better luck, but someone had Whisked away all of the Warm-to-Well-Done Wishbones.🚛💨🐔🐓🐔🛣️🐔🐓🐔🚚💨🍗
