American Reacts to Monty Python Cheese Shop
In this video I react to Monty Python and their Cheese Shop sketch. What's a cheese shop without any cheese and what is to be done about it?

[@Ingleborough111]

Me and a friend went to see Monty Python on the stage in Leeds, in the 70's. Afterward we were going to a restaurant called Get Stuffed down a side street in Leeds. We had bought a Python cassette at the theatre and were playing it quite loud as we sat outside the restaurant in the car. John Cleese walked past and did a double take, then went into the restaurant.

[@TheEclecticBeard]

That's pretty cool.

[@stevenwasserman9729]

One of the most insane slides from civility to stark raving lunacy ever done...

[@arrivalofdoom7449]

The Python lads released this on Audio with a few swears thrown in - I remember listening to it with my mum as I hadn't seen the TV version at the time. We were both crying with laughter. How Palin keeps a straight face coming up with all those excuses is beyond me

[@vinsgraphics]

"I don't care how f**king runny it is..."

[@bromley001]

"I don't care how f**king runny it is..."

[@arrivalofdoom7449]

"Bring the Venezuelan Beaver Cheese hither with all speed" "Awwwwww.... The cats eaten it" "HAS HE?" "She, sir" It's so sharp they cut themselves

[@bromley001]

Cleese and Palin are always brilliant off each other. I think my favourite is probably the Argument Sketch, if you fancy seeking that one out.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

No it isn't

Dammit, Beard, he was just pining for the fiords. Not dead.

[@claytonskids6764]

😂 SO nice to see you enjoying these ! The Pythons are largely responsible for a huge shift in British Youths’ thinking and perception of society and human behaviour….things in England were never the same again after these guys arrived 🤗

[@SilverionX]

I have eating every cheese on that list in one sitting on my bucket list. Well except the one that doesn't exist.

[@SoylentBlack1]

grew up listening to these sketches on the audio tapes in the 70's and 80's. i can still repeat every line of every sketch. love it

[@andygraves3658]

This has me laughing so hard every time i watch it. As you said, parrot sketch is also a classic. John Cleese is a legend in the art of comedy

[@robharris8844U]

Two things to note on this sketch. John Cleese REAL name is CHEESE he changed it for stage/tv. The other in sketch is Michael Palin who was born in Sheffield, YORKSHIRE. When Cleese does the translation of his character of "Oxford toff" dialect he then translates it to a broad YORKSHIRE accent for Palin's character to understand - it is poking fun at the English class system as well as the regional dialects. Hope this helps you understand it more. Happy New Year!

[@cliffwheeler7357]

Just helping: The musical instrument is a Greek bouzouki, also popular in Irish traditional music.

[@valyriantime910]

This is of the utmost hilarity. I was thinking : "Why don't you just ask him the ones he has, and pick from them?" And just just when the shop keeper was about to name the cheeses he does have, the buyer says no he wants to guess by himself !😂😂😂 That killed me!

[@jasonfazackarley6556]

Ha, another classic.....shut that bloody bouzouki up !

[@VeteranHedonist]

Ah brilliant 👏 I love Monty Python. My friend who died if cancer at the age of 35 loved it too and when it was the 40th anniversary of the Holy Grail, in-between his Radiotherapy, we took him to the giant cinema screen in Manchester, then to the Beir Keller in Manchester afterwards. It was a Wednesday night and his wife told us to behave and not be home too late with him. We didn't listen to her. It was student night and the Beer was half price and served in 2 pint stein glasses. All the University students were dressed in Lederhosen and it was packed for a midweek night. In the End Tom (R.I.P. ) put us to shame. He was dancing on the tables with the students. He was the youngest out of 5 of us. I'd just turned 40 and the eldest lad was 42. We drank and downed that much beer me and my mate Smithy were being sick in the corner. Whilst all these 25 year old students were dancing round us with Tom, taking the piss out of us, because we couldn't handle the beer like we could of done 15ish years prior to that night. I'll never forget it. It was a fitting tribute to Tom who we called the Ginger Viking. He had a huge ginger beard and a valknut sign tattooed on his hand. When he passed, the 4 of us left all got the same tatoo in the same place on our hands. His wife went berserk at us when we fell through the door with him eventually, about 5 o clock am.

[@JonathanReynolds1]

John Cleese’s real name is actually John Cheese !! 🧀 😂😂😂

[@BrixtonTone]

LMAO ! again !. for me one of the best Python sketches. I went on to discover a lot of cheese after seeing it. Hey EB, please check out Pythons "Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition" ! guaranteed you'll laugh your socks off.

[@nicksykes4575]

Hi Alan, have a look at a skit they did during a show at The Hollywood Bowl, it's called "Why Michelangelo Didn't Paint The Last Supper".

[@anthonyrome7543]

My favorite sketch. I work in retail, and to me it highlights the feeling of conflict between salesman and customer. I’ve also used several of those excuses.

[@BronyDanProductions]

John Cleese has said that this was one of the few sketches from the third series that he actually liked.

[@spicy321]

It’s one of only two in the third series that he wrote. The other one was Dennis Moore.

Mr EB, this was an excellent reaction. Truth be told, as a father in the 90s I played this game out with my poor little unsuspecting daughters when they were playing in one of those pop-up tents for children in a garden. I asked them every minute for cheese, and they came up with endless excuses why they didn't have any! Grateful they are both graduates and not bouzouki players after I subjected them to such madness!

[@samgarrod4781]

My 2nd favourite Python sketch. Brilliant ❤

[@spankflaps1365]

At 1:39 he says “Eee I were all hungry like” 🤣 I would say the best Monty Python is “The Life of Brian” movie 👍

[@CostasCostoulas]

the organ that plays is greek bouzouki! the dance is Chassaposerviko... a greek folklore dance!! the dudes are insane! who on earth thought of such a thing!!

[@paulwright9749]

Having to remember 200. Cheeses by Cleese was some achievement!

[@vinsgraphics]

Wikipedia has a page on this sketch, detailing all the cheeses mentioned and the responses to each. The only fictitious cheese is Venezuelan Beaver Cheese (which has probably been created since, in honor of this sketch, I'd bet money on it).

[@eldoofthe3rd]

Alan I need a..... SHRUBBERY!!!!

[@mikebailey783]

@The Eclectic Beard: It was "Eee, ah (I) were (was) all 'ungry, like...!" - a bit of a Northern-dialect slur!

[@alansmithee8831]

Hello Alan. Cheesy comedy, minus cheese? Have you ever seen Ripping Yarns? It was much like this by some of the Pythons. Eric Olthwaite and Golden Gordon are set in Yorkshire so Mr. Wensleydale would feel right at home.

[@billsimonis]

weird al does a parody of the this sketch on his song Alburquerque but instead of a cheese shop he visits a doughnut shop (like Dunkin Donuts). instead of getting shot in the head, he buys a box of one dozen starving weasels that rip off his flesh. The song is off his album Running with Scissors

[@arwelp]

One of their best! Please take a look at Michael Palin’s series, RIPPING YARNS - the first one, “The Testing of Eric Olthwaite” will get you into the mood (though there’s a lot of Yorkshire accent in that one), also “Escape From Stalag Luft 112B”, “Across the Andes By Frog”, “Tomkinsons’ Schooldays”, or “The Curse of the Claw”.

The "Travel Agent sketch" from the "Live at Drury Lane" audio recording is well worth a listen if you get the chance, better than the visual recordings I have seen/heard. Really like your channel content, keep it coming!

[@clemstevenson]

Well, they certainly do sell cheese in Cheddar, Somerset. No guns required.

[@alanminter4234]

It always amazes me how John Cleese remembers every word in these types of sketches. My personal favourite is the arguments and abuse rooms. Cleese and Palin at their very best. Much funnier than the parrot sketch.

Bouzouki.

[@tonygriffin_]

This makes a good party game at xmas when the family is bored with Charades. One person plays the shopkeeper (Cheesemonger?) and another the customer. The customer has to ask for a different cheese each time while the shopkeeper must come up with a different excuse for why they don't have that particular cheese. If the customer can't name another type of cheese, the shopkeeper wins and if the shopkeeper can't come up with an excuse for why they don't have that cheese, the customer wins. This can easily help alleviate any post xmas boredom...though only for about 5 minutes.

[@bubblebus1]

The word used early in the sketch in the part where Cleese is describing why he came from the library is "esurient" (which means insatiably hungry.) A bit later, when asked if he disliked the music, Cleese comments that he, "delights in all manifestations of the Terpsichorean muse." (In ancient Greek mythology, Terpsichore was the muse of lyric poetry and dance.) In line with another posted comment, there is another, live version performed for the charity, The Secret Policeman's ball. Indeed, the language was not limited by the live broadcasting rules of the BBC, and so was a touch stronger in places. That show (Secret Policeman's Ball) has a number of sketches to be found on KZbin. Given your delight in British humour, I suggest such a search is something you would find most entertaining.
