Sigh... I hate it when my comments are hidden because of too many negative votes. Here it is. Is this honest opinion really deserving of a 'thumbs down'?
"You might be right. However, it doesn't change the fact that I didn't laugh, which I have done for other Python bits, such as the dead parrot. Oh, and my previous comment really didn't deserve so many thumbs down. Here it is: "I like Python, I really do. But, I didn't even crack a smile during this sketch. Not one of their funnier moments.""
Christ, and I thought walking 25 miles to and from school in 30 feet of snow, barefoot, uphill both ways, with blinding winds and rabid wolves chasing us was bad.
a sock. when i was a kid i LIVED in a lump of cold poison, with all 999999999999 of my siblings. evryday we would have to clean the poison using our own skin as a cloth, eat the skin after we got up 7 hours before we went to bed, then pay £50 to spend 10 years spining the earth round and when we got home our dad would burn one of us then use the ashes to kill the next one then burn them and do the same to the next one and so on. he would bring us back to life and thats if it was our birthday
for 5 years i had to stay up 36 hours straigh clean every bathroom in sydney with my tounge while my 99999 brothers and sisters would climb to the top of every skyscraper and wash them top to bottom and pay the goverment for the right to them clean with our tounges, then on my 11 and a half birthday i was sent to tokyo to clean the sumo nappies with my eyes while my uncle whiped me with seaweed
I didn't get to sleep for ten years and I had clean sumo nappies with my tongue for thirty six hours straight while listening to Yoko Ono and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance every time she stopped for breath. Then when we got home our parents would rape us till we couldn't stand up, make us pay for prostitution, then beat us and disown us for adultery. And all that time we lived in a drainpipe in the middle of Abby Road.
To this day, there's this element of revelling martydom in Yorkshire. Trust me, that's where I'm from. 'Ow far do you 'ave to drive to work? 17 miles? That's bloody nowt, I 'ave to drive that plus another 30 day in, day out, what yer complaining about? Stick wood in t'hole.' etc...........
We used to live in a mine shaft two miles beneath the surface of the moon. Nothing to eat but will-nots. We had to dig for will-nots with one hand and for coal with the other. Everyday we'd carry our coal to Newcastle for sale--it's a long walk from the moon to Newcastle--while the old man beat us with a dead armadillo.
We used to have to get up at 7pm every day, 5 hours before we went to bed, my 17 dead brothers and I. We had to dig the mine shaft every day, 36 hours a day, and trek the entire distance to Newcastle to pay the mine owner the privilege of working 48 hours a day in the mine, dragging ourselves the entire way with our tongues as our dad had pulled all of our teeth, taken our ankles and feet, and sold them to pay for his mustard plaster.
We used to get up at 12pm every day 12 hours before went to bed, my 6,000 zombified brothers and I. We had to clean out a nuclear reactor cooling tower with our tongues every day, 72 hours a day and crawl on our hands and knees all the way from New York to Houston to pay the plant owner the privilege of working 55 hours a day in the plant, and when we got home, our dad would disembowel us and use our intestines for jump rope.
This scene reminds me of my English parents. Both of them used to tell stories about how hard they had it in 'the good old days when children were seen and not heard'. The more they told the worse it got. Eventually I think Mum said she had to walk 3 miles to school through thick snow, with holes in her shoes. Got caned all day by cruel, sadistic teachers for the most minor indiscretions before coming home to chop up 10 tonnes of firewood with a blunt razor blade, or something like it.
You guys had it easy, i had to fight my way out of my mothers womb and raise myself and my 38 older and 12 younger siblings by myself. I supported them all on a fraction of a penny a week, and they were all lame so they couldn't get jobs. So I had to do all the work... there wasn't a place we called home, we lived in various dumpsters and allyways
Every time someone offers me a cup of tea I say "Without milk or sugar" with Yorkshire accent... and no one ever gets the joke... I wish some day I get the response "Or tea!"
They were lucky. I didn't even have a childhood. By the time I was fetus I was double shifting at a lava pit and by the time I was old enough to write my name (I had to borrow my hands from wealthy kids. Humiliating) I had 22 children to support on $.01 a month crammed inside of a douche-bag's asshole.
@seunketchup88 Good one ^.^ But you were lucky.I didn`t even get a womb to gestate in.I had to spend my fetus months growing up in a old used condom and then when I was old enough to climb out I had to give back pay rent to the condoms pharmacy company or I would be used for medical experiments ^.^
@MrMontyBurnsDog Ah very good. :P But I still have loans to pay off from facilitating the meeting of me as a sperm and me as an egg. I then was savagely beaten by an old woman with one boob every time my cells divided. I had to implant my self on an ugly tree during a forest fire.
@seunketchup88 Very good sir.I openly admit you were definitely poorer and therefore happier than me.I sincerely hope that you have now recovered and are immensely rich and therefore as miserable as sin :p All the best from a fellow stinking rich yorkshireman ^.^
The sketch predates Monty Python, but this is the best version of it I can think of. My favourite moment is always the line "Luxury". When we were young our dad would let me and my siblings only speak one word a day each, so we would all mentally prepare for hours until after dinner and then try to out-do each other with not just the choice of word, but in how we said it.
Every year a bunch of the proffessors at the local college (my mom included) get together and do this sketch as part of our Groundhog Day variety show!!!
"Right, I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of cold poison, work twenty nine hours a day down at the mill and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singing hallelujah." hahaha
Fantastic, shown to me in a lecture on 'hard times' by charles dickens as reference to a characters continuous self-pity. Hilarious! Some people just dont get this kind of humour.
@intune4you And I am Danish, no insult taken. I was not serious. I am p*ss poor now, but was not as a youth, it is my experience as soldier, viking and carpenter I sound like these fellows. And do not embellish- much...
You people were lucky. We used to DREAM about dreaming of living in a corridor. But we couldn't. We had to sell our dreams so we could rent the thumbtack we used to live on. We had to work 25 hours a day cleaning the dirt on the ground, and then when we got home, our dad would blow us up with dynamite. The only things we ever got to eat was our hair, which we had to sell so that we cold clean rocks, and we only had our own saliva to drink, which we used to clean the thumbtack we lived on.
@NicholasC713 Luxury! We didn't even have a comment box when I was growing up. We had to scream our opinions at our computers and hope that someone 'eard us.
@ThaddeusRobe When I say comment, I really mean just sending messages by owls that'd try to peck our eyes out, and our Dad would beat us with a rusty rake if we hurt the owls or gave a bad comment.
I swear I've been corrupted by this humour. HAH! Young people's humour today is fucking wierd, but myyy God....myyy FUCKING GOD. LOOL. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
You people and your luxury. When I was growin' up, I lived in a barrel o' toxic waste with my 845 brothers and sisters. We would get up at eight o'clock every night, eat the fungus that was made by the radiation, walk three hundred miles to work in blinding snowstorms, and pay $34/hr for permission to work 68 hours a day, and when we got 'ome, our da' would slowly lower us into vats of sulfuric acid, and we never once complained! Matter of fact, we thanked 'im for the discipline!
Me and mi 1000 brothers and sisters lived in and obese man shoe, so we got up at 6 pm lick the shoe, lick the man's toilet, lick the man, then go to work and be the foreman's sex slaves so we could work and at the eand of each month we payed 1000 pounds and when we came whome once every 30 years our dad used yo kill us, bring us back from the dead and kill us again
@Marvelmanx1 what can i say? oh yeah, i cant. my dad ripped out my vocal chords BEFORE i was born, so i wouldnt wake him from his 9 bottles of cabernet sauvignon that he had for his tea. yes, he was a single perant. so was my mum.
Me and mi 1000 brothers and sisters lived in and obese man shoe, so we got up at 6 pm lick the shoe, lick the man's toilet, lick the man, then walked 30 000 miles to go work and be the foreman's sex slaves so we could work and at the eand of each month we payed 1000 pounds and when we came whome once every 30 years our dad used yo kill us, bring us back from the dead and kill us again
' right...I had to get up in the morning at 10:00 at night half an hour before I went to bed...eat a lump of cold poison...work 29 hours a day down mill and pay millowner for permission to come to work and when we got home....our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singing hallejujah ' ROTFFLOLLMAO!!!! XD
It kind of reminds me of when an attention seeker finds somebody has a serious, real problem. They just make shit up to try and top everyone. And they think we beleive it... aha, love this sketch.
@darktemplarRFW Oh yeah? Had to go to school everyday Uphill both ways carrying The Bloody horse with me old Granddad whippping us!b And we liked it! Bloody Luxury!!!!!!!!
Yeah, rich 'Southern Bastards' that snapped up all the cottages and land for no money during the property boom. After Maggie Thatcher broke the mining industry. If England didn't have a sense of humour we'd have hung ourselves long ago.
when i was a lad there were 678 of us living in pint glass we had to get up at 12 in the night 24 before we'd gone to bed lick the country clean eat a hoandful of coal then work at the mill for minus 4 bod a week when we got home our dad would kill us eat us if we were lucky! =)
When Iwas a lad, there were 783 of us living in an snotty tissue and we had to get up 12 at night and lick the dirt clean untill it was silly and then eat asbestos. Then we come home after 29 hours of work in a day, and come home to our dad who would eat all our body parts and leave the head if we were lucky!
i was so poor the beggars would call yo my home and offer me cooked rats... i just made that up.. ha, ha.. im a BIG Monty fan... i was so poor the Samaritans would text me and ask me what weight i am now.. i was so poor i couldn't afford plumpy nut.. OMG. ill go to hell... this is Irish humor.. 5 STAR VID' THANK YOU..
i'm at college now and we get up at midnight every morning to finish our coursework on top of attending lectures for twenty hours at a time and working a saturday job for twenty-five hours
and if we fall asleep even once during work we don't get paid for a whole year!
u have it easy i have to get up 24 hours before i go to bed to finish my course then attend 4 lectures for 24 hours and work 7 days a week and if i thought of going to sleep my boss would hit me with his belt
u have it easy i have to get up 24 hours before i go to bed to finish my course then attend 4 lectures for 24 hours and work 7 days a week and if i thought of going to sleep my boss would hit me with his belt and we wont get paid for the rest of the decade
I had to get up 24 hours before I got to bed to attend 9 lectures and each 38 hours long in one week while trying to work for pebbles! If I even think about sleeping, my boss will sue me and put me in debt for the rest of my life!
BRILLIANT! John Oliver's recent time-traveling segment, Even Better Than The Real Thing, is also about the perils of over-mythologizing one's childhood.
I am pretty young, about 16, and I find Monty python absolutely histerical. When I grow up, i will remember monty python as what kept me laughing all through my years of growing up.
@Airsoftdude615 while the comment from you im replying to was posted 9 months age, so ill assume you 17 now. im only 15 and ive always loved the old funnies and sitcoms, ya know stuff like; Monty Python, Three Stooges, Abbot and Costello, Cheers, Nightcourt, Fraiser, ayou know, all the good stuff, it makes me feel good and bad that im only one of so many who arent all about current pop culture and "hip-hop", of which our generation is known for, damn them...
@KeskasidvarGaming and credit to you for watching experiencing those classics. What many of my friends seem to forget is that there are really good stuff out there, before their time. If they're like me, they would realize the old stuff is hugely better in comparison. I really will miss those nights when my mom would watch Monty Python Flying Circus.
When I was 44...about 6 months ago.....I had fuck all to my fcking name.....still have nothing....but good memories....monty python one of them......gave me a great laugh....!!!!!!!!

You people were lucky. We used to DREAM about dreaming of living in a corridor. But we couldn't. We had to sell our dreams so we could rent the thumbtack we used to live on. We had to work 25 hours a day cleaning the dirt on the ground, and then when we got home, our dad would blow us up with dynamite. The only things we ever got to eat was our hair, which we had to sell so that we cold clean rocks, and we only had our own saliva to drink, which we used to clean the thumbtack we lived on.

You people and your luxury. When I was growin' up, I lived in a barrel o' toxic waste with my 845 brothers and sisters. We would get up at eight o'clock every night, eat the fungus that was made by the radiation, walk three hundred miles to work in blinding snowstorms, and pay $34/hr for permission to work 68 hours a day, and when we got 'ome, our da' would slowly lower us into vats of sulfuric acid, and we never once complained! Matter of fact, we thanked 'im for the discipline!

@KeskasidvarGaming and credit to you for watching experiencing those classics. What many of my friends seem to forget is that there are really good stuff out there, before their time. If they're like me, they would realize the old stuff is hugely better in comparison. I really will miss those nights when my mom would watch Monty Python Flying Circus.
