[leftcoaster67]

Naa Vee!

[UberManthehutt]

does anyone know what the tune at 4:27 is?

[russinhouse]

@UberManthehutt it's called a "life on the ocean waves" ( it's a jolly good life for me) da de da. it's a military (navy) tune. that's as much as i know.

[shaalis]

"can you dig it, man?"

[EdwardFarrington]

bloody sharks

[Maphysto]

Peices of eight!

[spacecowboy5000]

Actually, Cleese would have kicked buttock in the Pirates of the Caribbean. But he might have overshadowed Johnny Depp. ;)

[TheoryOfThomas]

i'm just glad they didn't show any of the necrophilia...

[DiligentSleeper]

That's the parrot John bought in the Parrot sketch...... :P

[dave2806]

this was the main reason why i joined the royal nay-vee in 1976 man !

[OlaNaTungee6]

who are the divers?

[madmanmantra]

This video would be a perfect mix with MSNBC's article interview "Navy relieves officer over lewd videos" PR. I wish I had the time to get around to it.

[vonbontee]

One of their most bizarre-rambling "pointless" sketches

[kibbile95]

There is a shark in a lake xD

[jeanetteRyokuX]

"bloody sharks" that was so cute

[acidhouser1]

hip as hell

[owg59]

"they are to tell me immediately, so I can immediately take every measure to hush the whole thing up." Yeah, he works for the government.

[115road]

This expedition is to investigate cases of cannibalism.

[AccidentalGhost]

I love their names, haha. :D

[MajKushiel13]

the laugh track is all part of the Python's. Every aspect of their skits is for humor...

[Maphysto]

Pieces of eight!

[obama93142]

would be better without the laugh track

[joshaf26]

@obama93142 Seriously? Laugh track? Go get your legs metaphorically blown off, you fairy!

[Lothlorien16]

hahaha when Terry freaks out at the parrot on his shoulder "Bluuegh!!" XD

[sashablueperson]

necrophilia is straight out

[punkrockxzz]

"and to think, for the likes of you, i had both my legs blown off"

"you havent had both your legs blown off...."

"i was talking metaphorically ya fool!"

[TheWonderfulWombat]

When the reporter is fully be-pirated, he starts saying lines from Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.

[greg5566]

Necrophilia is right out!

[Sigele1]

"...and finally, necrophilia is right out!"

[kittybinz]

Jenkins, NO!

roflmao

[John6yt]

Terry Jones slapping the parrot off his shoulder is epic

[PetePuma00]

Bloody sharks!

[OrontesRM]

..just a yellow submarine is missing

[TheIntruders]

In "Monty Python: Almost The Truth", on the subject of the Graham Chapman's alcoholism, Eric Idle tells a story of arriving at Lake Pahoe to film his small part in this sketch. "I remember going once up to Scotland for a take. We were filming up in Glencoe. And I got there and I met the Special Effects man on the train, got shit-faced and we were drunk and I slept all day the next day and I got up and they still hadn't done the first take of Graham with Lake Pahoe. They'd done 43 slates.

[KRAZYCorps]

"For starters, why do the senior personel all bare the names of Hollywood film stars of the 40's and female ones at that. Shiver me timbers, 'tis the black spot!"

[PrudenceNumberNine]

"Pieces of eight!"

[TheRadical42]

100 Rads on the 100 Point Radical Rating System! Perfect!

-This is wonderful! This is one of my favorite Monty Pythons. It's SO SILLY!

-This video is something other than else!

-What's really great is all the Pythons get into it. GIlliam does the Can Ya Dig It cartoon. Cleese turning into a pirate, Palin and Idle as Hippie Dudes, Jones as the straight interviewer, and Chapman as the modern improved Nay-Vee Captain.

-Also, behind them, they're packing the goofiest stuff into the van.

[srad66]

'the whole scene's wide open for a scientific exploration' . My favorite python sketch esp the Royal 'Nay Vee' cartoon i love it ........

[optimon]

I love how Eric is standing at 1:06 holding up the joint. This skit cracks me up every time I see it.

[srad66]

Lol at 1.53 you'll see the joint appear in shot again

[sidDkid87]

5:54

[Theaceoffate]

Can you dig it, man?

[Kervanat0r]

1:09 "This expedition has some rather unusual aspects..." The Royal Navy Air mattress squadron "Beach Hunters", feared from Malibu up to the beaches of Malorca!!!!

[Finnishbastard]

"JENKINS, NO!"

[Gasoline85]

05:56 - XD

I love that parrot!

[zerodragon9]

"In the BASEMENT!?"

"Pieces of Eight!"

[TomOfTheCosmos]

'Course it's not an ordinary street, it's got a lake in it!

[Hikarinonakade]

Jenkins... no!

[fiskefyren]

meh... this one wasnt to great... the most fun part was how the first guy kept getting clothing changed xD

[GCMPJLRMYLIFE]

This is the most amazing sketch everrr!!!

i am TOTALLY going to join the RN!!! :)

[Tareltonlives]

Now I have to revoke my citizenship, renounce my Yankee-dom, move to Blighty and join with the RN!

[MadJohnEscapes]

just goes to show you, break your ankle during an interview, you'll turn into Long John Silver piece by piece.

[EuskaltelEuskadi]

lol hippie sailors!!

[krecekvkolecku]

05:54 - 57 :D

[mcquestion]

My absolute fave Python sketch. It really is "Something other than else". ;)

JW

[kevinjjfr]

JENKINS NO

[666brandon666]

"It's bleedin damp!"

[Steve17010]

I love that animated navy advertisement. It's "right on".

[blaarp]

Oddly enough the RN really did paint ships quite a bit like that during WWI. Google "dazzle camouflage."

[Tareltonlives]

I can dig it

[Finnishbastard]

What does the parrot say? I can't understand...

[Jarppih]

Pieces of eight?

[mowub]

"Pieces of eight," which is what Long John Silver's parrot says in Treasure Island.

[Android2137]

Hey, is that parrot a Norwegian Blue?

[digicult449]

kinda gett'n psychedellic there eh?

[LogosTheosMateria]

Excellent work

[THATTHERESANRV]

All things Python in my house...Nothing rivals its antics and humor.

[baalChrist]

Come together with your R.N. it's really something other than else!

[zionravescene]

"... and when I say 'none', I mean there IS a certain amount..."

[Whiplashr]

one of my favorite lines in the series.

[RationalEmotive]

one of the best...

[srad66]

Can ya dig it man!!!!!!!!

[Clarinerd617]

stop eating me!

[teencomment]

"Shiver me timbers, tis the black spot!" XD

[AlbertCunning]

Watch Graham Chapman looking at Terry Jones' board.

According to Terry, Graham was unable to remember his lines(as this was after lunch, for which both Graham and Ian MacNaughton, the director, would have a couple of pints), so Terry suggested Graham looked at his board, and no viewers ever noticed.

[Tareltonlives]

"It really is something other than else!"

[system0system]

its crazy !

Is this lake pahou< LOL

[KountdownExpress]

bloody shark!

[jagdwurstmadl]

"Well, I don't know about that but it's bleeding damp!" HaHa, great!

[eyethesuicide]

Jenkins! NO! lol

[stewiesbabe]

[NGS712]

stewies: I think that was kinda the point. Like with Commodore Betty Grable or Lieutenant Dorothy Lamour. ;)

[mrrichardfeder]

And, finally: necrophilia is RIGHT OUT !!!

[Brdwylover]

It's really something other than else...that's my favorite part...or maybe I just love the whole thing...yeah, that's it...I love the whole thing!

[Stephie2007]

It's funny because most of those people were supposed to be high on something. THIS SKETCH OWNS!!

[Tareltonlives]

"Can you dig it, man?"

[cyndane13]

Ah god, the parrot! Priceless :)

[Tareltonlives]

"Pieces of eight!" "Augh!"

[Sukriti]

The funniet moment is when Eric goes, "Right on."

Or, when Terry J pushes that parrot off his shoulder... =]

[wombatry]

that cartoon looks like the people were on drugs

[FishTitan64]

I don't think Terry Gilliam HAD to be high to do the cartoon part. At all. Sorry, but I really like this sketch and the cartoon animation part

[slushy50254]

lol i live like a mile away from lake tahoe!

[Sukriti]

lucky@

[mayalove]

Is Lake Pahoe supposed to be a play on Lake Tahoe?

[KaelSaxen]

lol It's a play on the Donner Party heading past Tahoe...

[thelusitania]

i think id better go check my basement...

[iluvcheezitsheyhey]

I want a basement!  sheesh.

[themanwith7names]

brilliant

[murielsartre]

Watch closely at 1:53. Heh. We can dig it, man.

I'm thoroughly guilty of using the phrase "It really is something other than else" in casual conversation.

[xhellonhighheels69x]

hah! I never would've seen it on my own. right on!

:D~

[Sukriti]

What are we supposed to be noticing? Just the phrase "It really is something other than else", or something else?

Ive usedd that phrase too, nobody noticed, thoughh!

[murielsartre]

Well, I don't want to be O.W.A. Giveaway, so I'll say just watch the right side of the screen before it cuts to the NAY-VEE cartoon.

[CZeke]

Huh. What's that about? Is the guy being handed a joint or something, or is it a blooper?

[MChelada]

"The whole gig's been a real gas man!"

[zeddyded]

Jenkins, NO!! lmao

[tuttt99]

Necrophilia is right out! lol

[matteric]

"There is no cannibalism in the British Navy. Absolutely none. And when I say none, I mean there is a certain amount, more than I'd like to admit."

[AeroEbook]

Clease is ALWAYS funny!

[satchmo7772000]

I goon mad now...

[AstroNerdBoy]

John Clease turning into Long John Silver was funny.

[shadowpig13]

verry inconspicuously XD

[Waltcowz]

Shiver me timbers!

[Sukriti]

arr tis the black spot

[Sukriti]

Hehhe, look at 5:52

Priceless.. When Terry pushes the parrot off him. =]

[Desmaad]

Yes, best way to stave off the Pirate virus.
