The Olympic hide and seek final - sub esp

Monty Python's Flying Circus

[@atavachronwemberley1744]

I just don’t understand why this masterpiece never makes any top 20 Python sketches. It doesn’t even make any underrated or ‘deep cuts’ list. It’s ridiculous. This has every element of what made Python so innovative and legendary. Yet for some reason this sketch seems forgotten or ignored by the masses.

[@jeffreyriley8742]

I absolutely lose it at 3:11 when he's looking in local shops and the magnitude of his "seek" challenge hits home.

[@sharky8577]

Absolutely hilarious and classic Python - Eric Idle has the perfect voice to do the commentary on sporting events

[@caseysmith544]

That Classic Sports Announcers voice.

[@colinsmith5148]

Just think, if the can in the bin had been another popular fish snack he may have ended up in Sturgeon, Pennsylvania. Quite the red herring.

[@AwesomeMarioBros1]

One of my favorite comic sketches of all time. Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@BrennenQuinn]

I've been trying to find the same piece of music for years, and I just did. Les Fous De Soleil - Paul Guiot/Paul Piot Yes, it's on youtube

[@juansequera5237]

Nessie beats them all. After 90 years it's still hiding! And the search is limited to one single lake!! Not too far away from that sweet shop in Kilmarnock by thew way. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Roxer777]

Wait a second! I am Paraguayan! I can't believe this! XD just two days ago the Black Eyed Peas just came to my country it's the very first time something like that happens and now this! now I love monty python even more!

[@mrcdad]

It's always amazing to see two athletes compete in their prime.

[@MatthewRogerson-wk3bd]

Sometimes my parents and I would play. They were not very good at all. But when they finally did find me they always had a tan so I knew they were out looking

[@tjf2939]

This would be such a great sport! I‘d absolutely watch it!

[@DeepSkyStories]

😂😂😂me too!

[@rupertpupkin8508]

I love how dramatic the music is

[@lliaolsen728]

This is by far one of the most memorable sketches I remember seeing.

[@BearFang666]

Bigfoot is still the gold medalist.

[@paulamiles9559]

That's for sure. How many years has that " hunt for sasquatch" show been on TV!

[@florete2310]

Finally... I actually wanted to watch the preliminaries of the hide and seek competition as well, but I couldn't find them in the TV guide...

[@stuartryan610]

Hidden Agenda.

[@cgmchispitas385]

oooooh gracias por subirlo llevaba buscandolo 2 meses xXD graaaaaaciaaaaas!!!!!

[@vincentmutel7313]

I was in stitches from start to finish but I must confess I was also thrilled by the suspense... 😄

[@ian_b]

I remember this at the time, watching the whole final with my family. The whole country thought Don had it in the bag until the last day! You just don't see good honest sports like this any more.

[@GavTatu]

i'm from jersey, and i'm seeing gorey castle, greve barracks and plemont. and i saw another sketch up at fort regent.

[@bscott18]

I thought i recognized Jersey, but never had confirmation. For the Merkins, that's Jersey Channel Islands, not NEW Jersey. Why don't ya ever hear a Merkin say they're from York or Hampshire? Only New Jerseyites forget that New part.

[@PeterSmith-bj4ml]

One of my favourite sketches. I was going to comment on where the fortress was in the UK as I knew their budget wouldn't allow them actually flying to Sardinia. Jersey, even that was a bit expensive, but thank you for the information. Was the start in a studio or really in Trafalgar Square? 😂

[@stefanstewart93]

I recall Don roberts did 27.4 seconds so the paraguayan won LOL

[@juansequera5237]

Unluckily they didn't have the VAR back then 😞

[@kelvinpell4571]

Amazing to see London looking like London. Who could have predicted what it would become now?

[@Zzyzzyzzs]

A city looking like a city? Yes, no one could ever have predicted that.

[@JohnBaker-jj5tx]

My favourite Python sketch 😅👍

[@JuanTucoRamirez]

it appears that Jimmy Hoffa now owns the record at well over 37 years.

[@paulamiles9559]

Tho i believe he is buried in the backyard of a residential home in suburban New Jersey

[@pena.3302]

thats brillant.man'!!

[@paulweir5031]

Buried out in the New Jersey Meadowlands, or swamp as it should be known.

[@sandydennylives1392]

..ánd the official score is.... cold.@@paulamiles9559

[@fonziebulldog5786]

Well, they never found Jesus again ...

[@greenprophet_]

A Japanese professor is trying to make this a qualified sport in upcoming Olympics.

[@bradbla]

one of the dumbest but truly one of the best this ,raf banter ,woody sort of word always stick out in my mind

[@ICryOverSpiltMilk]

if this was real, the competadors would all be dead by the time it finishes

[@pgabrielfreak]

notice the newscaster has grey hair 6 years later when there's progress on the event...so funny, such attention to detail! thanks, Reddit!

[@anotherdupeaccount]

this is the funniest sketch ever.

[@GKirkBayCity]

Why did the Olympic Committee drop this competition? 😢

[@christianvalenzuela225]

This guys are genius!❤😂😂😂😂

[@BKadorer]

Love the 360degrees panning of the camera. Pretty cool:D

[@paulamiles9559]

A Mike and Terry specialty

[@caseysmith544]

I think Hide and Seek would be a Cool Olympic sport but have it confined to the Olympic Village provided it is big enough to do this game.

[@OthelloBoulevard]

I concur, that music is great. I doubt we'll find it anywhere so I'm just gonna rip it from the sketch and try to clean it up. If it works I'll post it.

[@Badabimmo]

Paul Guiot and Paul Piot Les Fous De Soleil

[@paulamiles9559]

@Badabimmo thank you- brilliant!

[@helfmeyerglenn491]

This is soo funny, because of the absurdity !!

[@finnkdy]

Ze good ole days. No penaltys.

[@pinkywithabrain]

I'm glad Terry can count to 10 in Spanish... not. :)

[@paulamiles9559]

I think he messed up on 14.

[@juansequera5237]

He went in Spanish 1, 2, 3, 4, 15, 6... 🤣🤣🤣@@paulamiles9559

[@DrocanisSun]

This is so darn fun😅

[@pyrobreather1]

Adam could beat them even if the seekers were given clues.

[@Goatllama]

They used that theme @1:50 or so in the Dr. Tran videos!!

[@gregoryvn3]

Waldo > Bin Laden Monty Python > Anything on tv anymore

[@premanadi]

Has to be a Jones/Palin sketch!

[@haps2019]

Almost all bits in the third series are Jones/Palin.

[@brandond73]

Funny stuff, how they thought up this stuff I have no idea.

[@JimsBarn]

This is where Terry Gilliam got the Life of Brian idea from!

[@atwarwithdust]

apparently it's 'les fous de soliel' by paul guiot.

[@HelenaVanCity]

@shockraid1 Why, it's an awesome sport! Granted players don't get 11 years, something months, and whatsit days)))))))

[@zoikles1]

@themeisawesome US was looking for Osama since 1999, which is 12 years. Sorry :P

[@AmyWinehouse.914]

Is there any update on the reply?

[@atwarwithdust]

what's the music that starts @1:10?

[@paolozak3014]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Harambae613]

20 INTERNETS TO YOU!!!!

[@MrGallagher]

Anyone know the name of piece of music that gets used throughout? It's also used in the episode of Archer that takes place in Monte Carlo.

[@colombianguy8194]

Les fous de Soleil - Paul guiot

[@johngore7744]

Fous actually means Crazy en Francais. Merci de votre comprehension De Montreal. .

[@Noah-wx7fm]

Reminds me of 17776

[@davedavito]

if they only can do this in the OS games in london 2012

[@pena.3302]

"For My Blessing & My DAUGHTERS Hand in Marrage..'!"Youl have to go to the shop & Buy me 20'Rothmans'!!-'The Life of Brian'(?)

[@metlman37]

song name?

[@MitsubishiNiigata]

ばかだろう（笑）(ﾉ∀`)でもこんなん大好きｗｗ

[@dantespina7398]

LOL

[@marcdoyle6297]

Lol😅

[@adrianedawndawn]

Bahahahahahahaha!!

[@aesniper]

@themeisawesome when you capitalize every letter I can't tell if you're capitalizing the proper nouns. us gets the new world record? who's us?

[@jingye88]

英国人的幽默绝世第一😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@okesoncharlie]

😂😂😂

[@BoyKagome]

Terminator did it in a week.

[@adrianedawndawn]

That's because they only have the audiobook.

[@sr.cosmos1558]

I just want to know which episode is this sketch from.

[@haps2019]

s3e9. Or ep. 35.

[@mooninites3]

The replay?!?!

[@juhds0ri]

R.I.P Osama Bin Laden ;_;

[@adigyran]

Yasuo Hazaki brought me here

[@BaronBanahaw]

They can't defeat the King Richard

[@Ralyth]

Osama almost got it.

[@ZaffireWolf]

Man, where's that music from?

[@Badabimmo]

Paul Guiot and Paul Piot Les Fous De Soleil

[@Thurmanator]

it is darude - sandstorm

[@BFeistproductions]

FLAW - when the guy in the red shirt got there, the guy in the white shirts bike was gone.

[@tessjuel]

Yes, it's scandalous. Leave your bike unattended for less than 11 years, 2 months, 26 days, 9 hours, 3 minutes and 27 second and some punk is bound to steal it!

[@akula9713]

London, when it was a white English city😢

[@ICryOverSpiltMilk]

Madeline McCann must be world champ of the hide part of the leg

[@lhaviland8602]

Ten years later and still golden.

[@JH-lo9ut]

Ok, how do we get BBC to pay for a trip to Sardinia?

[@GavTatu]

lol they didn't.... they came to jersey !

[@malphas24]

Three people aren't good at Hide and Seek.

[@eli507]

should have hid in a rat hole with some Doritos.

[@Zzyzzyzzs]

Not trying to ruin the humour or anything (I adore Python and this sketch) but I thought hide n' seek rules were you had to stop moving as soon as the seeker stopped counting and any attempt to move after that was cheating? Cheaters got a punch in the shoulder for that in my day!

[@Blueskies2513]

I didn't play it like that, we called it manhunt but it was basically just it, but it started as hide and seek and to make someone else it you would say 1,2,3 manhunt caught, then you aren't it anymore and they are It was great fun

[@David-xp7sr]

Typical BBC. Wasting licence payers money going to a jolly in Sardinia.

[@PeterHedditch]

It's Gorey Castle in Jersey.

[@juansequera5237]

I wonder where on... the British Isles that Madagascar beach is? 🤔 @@PeterHedditch

[@Rapture_Ready_Rabbit]

\\\\ TIME HAS RUN OUT !! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Don't ignore this message... REPENT NOW !! TRUST that God raised Him from the dead !! By FAITH accept JESUS's blood alone as payment for your sins unto Salvation, to escape what's about to happen !!

[@joeblow2659]

@cameltot507 when I feel the necessity to take an authoritative posture I'll personally use Nulmberls 31:17-18 "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."

[@GavTatu]

jesus, current world hide and seek champion.... 2023 years.

[@marklammas2465]

Glad you found Jesus. But please tell the Olympic committee. They need a result.
