Monty Python: Did you like it?...

I took the Younger Ruglet with me to the simulcast of the recent live show. We were giggling even before the show started, and laughed through most of it. Watching Cleese lose it, and Palin get it back, was worth the whole thing.

Yeah, I always liked the Live At the Hollywood Bowl because they are trying so hard to not laugh at each other, and they cover up a few fuckups in classic 'hold the face' silence.
 
"Do you, in fact, have two sheds?"


"GET YOUR OWN ARTS PROGRAM, YOU FAIRY."
 
"Now, if you don't tell me ze yoke, I shall hit you properly."
"I can stand physical pain, you know."
"ACH, YOU'RE NO FUN."
 
"It's my belief that these sheep are laboring under the misapprehension that they're birds."

"Notice they do not so much fly as plummet."

"One thing is for sure: A sheep is not a creature of the air."

"Trouble is, sheep are very dim. Once they get an idea in their heads there's no shifting it."

"He's that most dangerous of animals: A clever sheep."

Man: "And what exactly are the commercial possibilities of avine aviation?"
 
"Now, look here, Mr. Frampton, it's perfectly easy for somebody just to come along here to the BBC simply claiming that they have a bit to spare in the botty department. The point is, Mr. Frampton, our viewers need proof."
 
Cut to a discreet corner of a Watney's pub. Soft music. A middle-aged businessman and a sexy secretary who obviously want to be alone are sitting huddled over a table. At the next table is Pither, with half-pint in front of him.
Pither My foot caught in my trouser leg and that's how the bottle broke.
Girl Tell her today, you could ring her.
Man I can't. I can't.
Pither I said you'd never guess.
Man Sixteen years we've been together. I can't just ring her up.
Girl Well, if you can't do it now, you never will.
Pither (tapping the man on the leg) Do you like Tizer?
Man (to Pither) What? No. No.
Girl Do you want me or not, James? It's your decision.
Pither I suppose it is still available in this area, is it?
Girl Do you want me or not, James?
Man What?
Pither Tizer.
Girl Yes or no.
Pither Is it still available in this area?
Man (to Pither) I don't know.
Girl I see, in that case it's goodbye for ever, James.
Man No! I mean yes!
Pither Oh it is, is it?
Man (to Pither) No.
Girl Oh! You never could make up your mind.
Man I can.... I have....
Girl (taking off ring) Goodbye James.
She runs out sobbing.
Man No wait, Lucille!
Pither Does your lovely daughter like Tizer? Eh?
Man Lucille!
Pither Wouldn't mind buying her a bottle of Tizer.... if it's available in this area, that is.
Man (turning on Pither) Would you like me to show you the door?
Pither Oh, that's extremely kind of you, but I saw it on the way in.
Man You stupid, interfering little rat.
Pither Oh! The very words of the garage mechanic in Bude!
The man picks Pither up by the scruff of the neck and the seat of his pants. He carries him bodily towards the door.
Pither I had just fallen off my bicycle, this is most kind of you, and my lemon curd tartlet had...
Man Damn your lemon curd tartlet!
Pither is thrown out. He picks himself up and sees girl outside sobbing.
Pither Just had a chat with your dad.
Girl bursts into further tears. Whistling cheerfully, Pither gets on his bicycle and, happier than he has been for a long time, he cycles off down the road and round a corner.
 
Let me go back in there and face the peril.

No, it's too perilous.

Bet you're gay...

No im not!
 
"Do you think there's any relevance in questioning the deceased?"

"We if he's not dead what's he doing in the coffin?"
"It's purely precaution..."
