THE SPANISH INQUISITION (MONTY PYTHON) | *FIRST TIME WATCHING* | REACTION

[@DawnMarieX]

🌟 Hey everyone! I appreciate all the love and support you've shown me over the years 🥰 Many of you have asked how you can help with my dream of having a small farm/ranch with the goal of helping animals in need. I'm excited to share that I've set up a GoFundMe to help make my dream a reality hopefully a wee bit sooner. If you'd like to contribute, please check out the link below-every little bit helps! Thank you for being part of this journey! 🙏❤ gofund.me/70c815cb

I think this must be why I didn't realise who it was 😂 I was sure it was John Cleese! Thank you so much for watching

[@Songfugel]

He was the odd-man out American in the group who never completely fit in, not only due to his different taste in humor, but also his completely differing animation style that even the other Pythons didn't understand xD While the other pythons were in close writing groups, Terry was doing mostly his own thing to clue together the transitions with his animations, and the others didn't actually see them until on the broadcast itself at the same time as everyone else

For those who don't know, the names of the cardinals in this sketch is Cardinal Ximénez (Michael Palin), Cardinal Biggles (Terry Jones), and Cardinal Fang (Terry Gilliam)

[@AlmightyCRJ]

The person with the scroll is Terry Gilliam, the animator for the show. Consequently, he has a preference towards silly faces, accents & costumes for his live appearances

[@Rasputin443556]

As an American, Gilliam has to fake a British accent, and his isn’t convincing (as opposed to Connie Booth’s). So he usually only has short lines or talks absurdly.

[@DawnMarieX]

I was so sure it was John Cleese! 😂

[@thefilmsett1956]

Cardinal Fang bring the confy chair

[@TheWrongHands18]

Gilliam was the best at doing characters that weren’t held down by English society stereotypes. Look at the diversity in the films: the bridge keeper, the Roman dungeon torturer, the middle of the film guy, the Bo-Peep restaurant maitre’d, the American dinner guest. He was under utilized as a sketch comedy actor. He was busy doing all the animations.

[@karlmortoniv2951]

Did he have a preference for silly faces or did he just look like that? ;)

As someone who could almost recite a lot of their sketches word for word, it is lovely to see someone watching for the first time! I was brought up on the original sketch shows.

None of the movies really do that, focused as they are on more linear narrative - not that there's anything wrong with that.

As said before, that's Terry Gilliam, the single American among the Pythons. He was the animator, as well as a writer, and was one of the directors of a number of the MP movies, however, he's become a truly gifted director on his own. He wrote and/or directed Jaberwocky, Time Bandits, Brazil (a visually astounding movie, that combined Monty Python absurdity with George Orwell's 1984, one of his greats,) The Adventures of Baron Munchausaun, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, and many, many more.

Trivia facts: this episode of 'Monty Python's Flying Circus first aired on 22 September 1970 as Episode 2 of Series 2. Michael Palin was the one who penned the line "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" and it was the genesis of the persistent sketch. The trio of omnipresent, but not terribly threatening, Spanish Catholic Cardinals appeared seven times throughout this episode. They were played by Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. Also, notice that the wild-eyed Terry Gilliam, who plays Cardinal Fang of the Spanish Inquisition, carries a copy of The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft and Demonology tucked in his arm. Funny enough, the real life Spanish Inquisition cardinals and interrogators notified their intended victims well in advance of the pain they planed to inflict in order to give them time to get them to confess their sins and get their affairs in order. So, in actual fact, EVERYBODY expected the Spanish Inquisition!

Let the dancing and singing begin!!!!

[@richardcramer1604]

peter blood, I love the History of the World Pt. 1, that music number actually taught me that it just wasn't the former Muslins that were the target of the Inquisition like I had previously believed but the Jews also had to covert or leave Spain. I than learned In 1492, the year Christopher Columbus set sail, Spain’s Edict of Expulsion gave Jews a stark choice: Convert, depart, or die. Tens of thousands stayed, but converted, and remained vulnerable to the perils of the Inquisition. How many Jews were killed remains unclear, but a widely accepted estimate is 2,000 people during the first two decades of the Inquisition, with thousands more tortured and killed throughout its full course.

[@ericjanssen394]

During the Monty Python sketch programs the sketches used to ramble through the program with characters like the “Spanish Inqaesition” and the “Parrot Sketch” followed by because of frustration and boredom with his pet shop job the singing of “I’m a lumberjack” song accompanied by the Canadian Mounties j singing the chorus. The first episode was recorded at the BBC on 7 September 1969 and premiered on 5 October on BBC1, with 45 episodes airing over four series from 1969 to 1974. How do you think your Grandparent went mad and had such cartoony stupid imaginations? The comedies that came out before and after this period were prodigious (lots of them), including the radio goon shows, the carry on movies, the Cranky’s and the Clint hero Kid and all the rest of the commodes that were generated after the WWII. Monty Python’s Flying Circus, to give its full name was bloody hilarious every episode was different including the cartoon sequences during the sketches to chives things along to the next scene. One of the scenes had me falling off my chair was the fish duel on the docks. One bloke smacked the other one on the face with a trout the other hit back with a bloody great salmon he went straight over the edge. Anyway they need to bring it back on TV straighten out the slow American comedy inspired flat rubbish of today. Look it up on you tube they may have some available.

I wasn't expecting this!

[@AubreySciFi]

There WAS actually a third appearance of the Spanish inquisition in the episode where this appeared. The first and last sketches basically bookend the episode with this one in the middle somewhere. The third inquisition bit is actually mostly location footage as they are out and about somewhere in London and spend the ending credits trying to get to where the people are that last said, "I didn't expect the Spansh Inquisition." It's a great ending to the episode. I love it. Actually this episode in general is one of my favorites of theirs.

[@BronyDanProductions]

A good movie to watch would be "Jabberwocky". Directed by both Terrys (Jones and Gilliam), Starring Michael Palin and cast with the who's who of British comedy... And it has Dave Prowse (Darth Vader) as the Black Knight! It's also a great follow up to Holy Grail.

That's not John Cleese (Spanish Inquisition) - it's the animator, named Terry Gilliam, who went on to become quite a renowned director of excellent films.

Not only did the Spanish Inquisition not use "The Comfy Chair", they gave you 30 days' notice!
