Election Night Special

[GhettoBlaster100]

NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

[verbusen]

@2:22 that is one of the funniest scenes I have ever watched. I watched this 35 years ago and will never forget that face! Thanks!

[thegorn68]

Seriously, what would be the difference if you voted for either Tarquin Fin- tim- lin- bin- whin- bim- lin- bus- stop- F'tang- F'tang- Olé- Biscuitbarrel or Rick Perry?

[TheSnelly101]

Search for Republican Party on Youtube for a modern version of these great Silly candidates running for US president.

[Mephisarisa]

Search for Vermin Supreme on Youtube for a modern version of these great Silly candidates running for US president.

[OliTheShayman]

The sad thing is, the Republicans don't even have a sensible candidate for the US 2012 election.

Fim-Lim-Tim-Bim-Wim-Busstop-Ft­angFtang-Olay-Biscuitbarrell all the way!

[heyyouthere4]

Cleese is wearing and Old Cranbrook tie

[skaizun]

How in the world did Monty Python

predict the current crop of GOP wing nuts?!?!

[ivyshoots]

@skaizun Exactly! I've been reminded of this sketch every time I put on a cable news station, and finally had to look it up on youtube! LOL Chuck Todd=John Cleese

[Chunkeymonkey769]

Great, love this sketch

Politics in a nutshell.

How strangely prophetic this sketch was. We've had the Fucking Ridiculous Party in power ever since!

[sexypoetry]

I SEEK POLE SHIFT SURVIVAL GROUP.

[Andreus]

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition... to get cut off mid-scene!

[HyaenusDominae]

Tarquin Fin Tin Lim Bim Wim Bim Lim Busstop F'Tang F'tang Olé Biscuit Barrel?

[futurefjp]

[DiscoStorm]

[wahaya2]

"Mary Whitehouse has just taken Umbrage, could be a bit of trouble there..." - fricking Genius....XD

[tamonicus]

This isn't all that different from US election coverage. Perhaps this was used as a template.

[bobob4477]

That brilliantly long name gets me every single time..

[smichelle65]

If you thought the very silly candidate's name was funny, look up "Monty Python Johann Gambolputty" (aka, the greatest name in German baroque music--literally!)

[ThePonko92]

i'm from Luton and i didn't know the silly party GAINED Luton i thought it always was lol

[WelshDood]

....."Don't sleep in the subway!"... XD

[iHazzaification]

My friend at school renamed himself to Tarquin Lin Bin P'tang P'tang Ol'e biscuit barrel. XD

[ScottyUrb]

3:51 I had to stop the video because I was laughing too hard!

[HerrJohann72]

What is the Spanish inquisition doing here?

[SimonGK]

There is an election in Denmark today. I voted for Tarquin Fin- tim- lin- bin- whin- bim- lin- bus- stop- F'tang- F'tang- Olé- Biscuitbarrel!

[soepil]

@SimonGK : Fornuftigt ;-)

[krispduck]

@SimonGK

[echosevern]

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition. Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear....

[itekisan]

Now I certainly wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition at the end!!!

[itekisan]

[fishhead06]

Is that Michele Bachman at 2:20?

[lot24]

3:51

John is a master of comedic timing.

[Procket12]

what do you make of the nylon dot cardigan and plastic mule rest? THERE"S NO SUCH THING!

[Procket12]

I love how John Clesse's hair gets messed up at 0:30 when he freaks out and smashes the bee that was in his ear. John Cleese FOR THE WIN!

[TomMSTie1138]

Carol Cleveland was so hot back then.

[CanadianOne1]

3:51 is awesome

[HelenaVanCity]

Russian elections used to be like this. Not anymore. Too bad!

P.S. 17 people have lost in elections. They should've voted for the Silly Party!

[SLjimbolian]

Can't tell the difference between this or CNN/Fox New's coverage of the Elections.

[bjr43]

LOL, one of their best sketches.

[Arraetrikoes]

Totally wish I had that last guys name...from the very silly party.

[listerone]

"So-and-so has held bristols,that's just a bit of gossip"......for all you Yanks out there (I'm one too),Bristol is an English city and "bristols" is British slang for breasts.Great stuff....

[DaL33T5]

@listerone

If you don't know why Bristols is slang for...you know...it's because in cockney rhyming slang, "Bristol City" rhymes with "titty". That's why.

[alalia111215]

This sucks, it isnt funny. I think life of brian is the funniest movie ever but everything else these chaps have ever done is horrible. Its worse than SNL and thats impossible.

[Exagerative]

[cellojordan]

It's funny that 40 years later, the media still acts like this on election night (at least here in America).

@doolenmeyer NO BODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

[kevlonk]

I'm Canadian, and I deeply regret that Jethro Q. Walrustitty wasn't on the ballot today.

[numberplease2000]

Reminds me of the current Canadian election...the whole Jack Layton-in-a-massage- parlour-15-years-ago "news story". Released by Sun News...says it all. Fox New's branch plant in Canada.

[VayDooble]

So THIS is where f'tang f'tang ole biscuitbarrel comes from (it is used in Spamalot)!

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

Is it just me or will the silly party be forming the goverment?

[Chuckles17]

@NeilSonOfNorbert  Yes, the skit is very realistic in that respect.

[haoala]

From 3:50 all the way to 4:44.. that's a long name!

[J0tunhe1m]

I would vote for the silly party. Not for the very silly party, though, as it is too silly.

[NeilSonOfNorbert]

@J0tunhe1m actualy there was no very silly party, he was an independant.

[J0tunhe1m]

@NeilSonOfNorbert Arr, sorry, I'm not really into politics.

[Trinity61]

What a disaster for Kevin Phillips-Bong and The Slightly Silly Party.

[andyw0101]

gordon 'head in the sand' brown - very silly party. nought

[D2L3TH4L1]

Jethro Q. Warlustitty LOL

[awelcruiz]

Could I just jump in here and say that 16 people don't like this video?

[shellygrrl]

@awelcruiz those sixteen people voted for the even lesser-known serious party. ;)

[Anghellik9]

5:22 - NO-ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!

[theheavymetal23]

Because their chief weapons are fear and surprise !

[10z8935]

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition at the end!

[aPenguin09]

@10z8935

Because no one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

[ArchArturo]

@10z8935 NOOOOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!.

[noonward]

Haha James Joyce has never felt so close to me.

[jackgingeranderic]

The Silly Party has nothing on the Democratic Party in the US. Imagine walking out on the people. The Silly Party would never do that! Why they'd just smile a silly grin like at precisely the 2:25 - 2:26 mark.

[glassaghman]

this is Election is like irelands Election 2day

[DiligentSleeper]

@glassaghman haha, ya! only thing is they're getting the results too quick...! :P :D

[CasaiAgicap]

In the Final Rip-off CD, they had a live version of this that included an interview from Kevin Phillips Bong. "You poll voted not at all. Not a sausage. Buggerall. Are you at all disappointed?" "Not at all. As I always say, climb every mountain. Ford every stream. Follow every byway. Until you find your dream" which goes on to have him sing that song, having the audience sing, cracking up everyone, including Cleese. The most fantastic thing ever.

[bernardcz92]

Reminds me of election time in Malta!

[sentient02970]

Palin at 2:21, good lord!!

[Malibunightrider]

can i just butt in and say that 18 ppl have never been on tv?

[awsome569]

Taruinfimlimbimwhimbimbbustopf­'tangft'angolebiscuitbarrel

[imallfordabulls]

Their coverage of the election pretty much sums up every election.

[CommandanteRamon]

Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-b­us-stop-F’tang-F’tang-Olé-Bisc­uitbarrel!! Hahahahahaha

[Synapsenkitzler]

Without Monty Python my (w)hole life would be much more darker. Thx a lot!

[daxtonator]

Can I just butt in at this point and say this is about the 338th time i've ever commented on Youtube?

[mcquestion]

@daxtonator No, I'm afraid we don't have time.

[FirstWave12]

@daxtonator No! Sorry! We don't have time!

[scobiedog1]

@daxtonator no, no, we haven't time.

[Jeffroville]

@daxtonator sorry there's no time for that!

[gorthorki]

@daxtonator no you can't

[LeslieGMN]

@daxtonator No, I'm afraid we haven't time!

[polarity345]

@daxtonator im sorry sir we don't have time

[robbo3166]

@daxtonator Sorry we haven't got time, we have to go over to Piddington.

[unclebud99]

@daxtonator No, we're all out of time....we've got to go to the thumbs up/down section to say that 17 people voted for the very silly candidate.

[stranglingjohndenver]

arthur negis has held bristols, that's not a result, that's a bit of gossip

[AutoStigmata]

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition at the end there...

[JTGarrysMod]

@AutoStigmata u asshole. i was just about to type that. oh well, i can still say...

[JTGarrysMod]

@AutoStigmata NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

[dabble778]

@megan130 Sorry, you are right, there was a lag on my film... clip.. I went to my DVD and the character, Colin, is played by Ian Davidson.

[Tasteslikechikin]

Socialists are so funny to watch... and see fail.

[dabble778]

@megan130 The guy you refer to is Terry Gilliam, director of Brazil, 12 Monkeys, and the artist who created the animation in Flying Circus.

[goldilox369]

@megan130 I totally agree...it's when he does that "gawp-mouthed open-faced- twitchy look around" that gets me everytime!!!

[Warhawk3451]

The Swang has choked itself to death LOL

[KillerBee256]

This is great stuff, It hard to believe they thought of this before the advent of the 24 hour news cycle.

[BrotherGhostmetal]

Hilarious. LMAO.

Doctor's orders. I've been watching this pill twice a day everyday since the 2nd to ease my lingering "election campaign hangover." I'm just glad the stupid nonsence is over for another two years.

America's newest silly party actually took a few seats in Congress. "Woo," I say with a sarcastic sigh.

I just wish the wonderful Wim Bim Lim had been running this year.

[stimpp]

Michael Palin as Wim Bim Lim ... is one of the funniest things ever.

[Musicartsandcoffee]

Haha, this is great stuff :o)

[Azabartable]

@HowardPearlman dont ruin funny monty python by posting your shitty political requests stupid socalist

[Camurgladius]

I didn't expect that ending.

[mustrapefoley]

john cleese's double take seemed genuine.

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

Who are Ann Haydon-Jones and her husband Pip?

[OeditpusRex]

@xxPatheticEmoxx They're the ones who could've played tennis with the blancmange.

[clydefrog4963]

Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim bus stop F'tang F'tang Olé Biscuitbarrel (silly)

[galwachs]

@clydefrog4963 how about spelling the name of the silly candidate at 4:30 ?

[peachyrandomness]

Whoa! The end! I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

[TheSaxon48]

@peachyrandomness NOBDY EXPECTS.... THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!!!

[yodakilljarjar1]

Clearly the Sensible party is a representation of conservatives. Liberals are the Silly party because their unfunded mandates are unsustainable.

[rathersane]

Not how the Silly Party is red and the Sensible Party is blue.

[doctorx777]

Every news agency should air this in November to remind them never to take a politician seriously.

[johnstephenalbert]

2 words: TEA PARTY

[bayster912]

What a classic. Just as funny as when I first saw it.

[headchew]

overrated shit

[andyw0101]

its strange that the two main parties now are the silly and slighty silly.
