Eric Idle Responds to Your Fatuous Comments

[thatcanadaguy2]

I love how he knows about how to activate the death cards

[MrAnimeviewer2000]

coop mode eh?

[StaraziaSelin66]

he's not the messiah!

he's a very naughty boy!

[thedaver500]

hehe..he said Cleese was using a silly walker...I just got that

[manonapedistal]

Bah. Idle talk!

[182akatsuki]

The ONLY good thing about the Call of Duty Franchise is that Eric Idle mentioned something about it.

[1REDDAWN13]

Its funny after all of these years to see the way they have changed the way the world works. The way they throw you off with wink wink know what I mean......we will return to this when something develops.....Now for something complete different next comment!

[HowlMagic95]

I don't like this half-american accent of his. But I love him anyway. He's always been on of my favourites. And he looked pretty when he dressed as a woman...

[Mercipourlevenin18]

hahahahahahaha thisis BRILLIANT!!! It made me love Eric a thousand times more! I can't stop laughing!!!

[HowlMagic95]

He plays Call of Duty? *-*

[schemo0]

pissed myself laughing when he said "fuck off"!

[RceaEripsa]

@MontyPython Question for Eric Idle. Will Rincewind ever make a return to the Playstation 3 platform and has Sony contacted him about a new discworld game

[Gryfu1]

@hihellohowareyou1000

Sorry, didn't realize my typo.

I meant to say wisest words ever said.

[Galorious330]

Eric is so awesome

[CHRISIDDON17]

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis :D

[fable2omg]

This was like, so 2 years ago.

[BroWhatever]

HE'S MA- HE'S MAAAAAA- HE'S M-M-M HE'S M-MM - HE'S MAD, SIR

[nickmarkham69]

BACK IN 1984 ERIC IDLE PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE AFTER I MADE SOME CRUDE REMARKS ABOUT "BARBARA", HIS GIANT SCHNAUZER. I WAS EIGHT AT THE TIME.

[loreley9]

Eric, you're just great! thanks for making me laugh always!

[WatchVenusSpa]

The man has still got it.

What else is there to say?

[J28James]

I just simply want to say, thank you so very much for Monty Python, Yellowbeard, and everything else.

[theshingler420]

rofl silly walker

[CorvusCorone68]

@queenofsulfur i think his tending to be happy had something to do with it; John Cleese and Graham Chapman tend(ed) to be unhappy

[khasab]

wow that's shocking news about Terry Jones!

[vlotusv]

"a silly walker" hahahaha

[MaxxTheSlash]

2:08

Looks like Eric Idle's a gamer. Go Eric!

... or someone told him what to say. But still, go Eric Idle!

[Opuskrokus]

Is it possible to be brilliant all the time? Apparently!

[dewhistle]

"Cleese is still using a silly walker, Gilliam has gone completely mad, and Jones has married a 12-year-old and moved off to Switzerland." LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

[Spiceyapple]

Mr. Idle you are hilarious. Loved you in Monty Python as well as in Baron Munchausen. Keep up the jokes

[sialuab]

congrats on having the same scary as shit looking eyes as ellen widmann

[queenkate]

HAHAHAHA!! I love you Eric! I hope you read this one. You were always my favourite Python and you are a fabulous songwriter. I must try and remember some of that invective.... :) :)

[goldkhw]

Sadly, I found Mr. Idle's comments petty. But he WAS replying to negative comments after all. However, there are some foolish remarks that should not even be dignified with a reply. On a lighter note. Mr. Idle mentioned that he was raised in an orphanage. My immediate reaction to that revelation was, "Well, he DOES have a face that only a Mother could love." And now I'm being mean and negative, you see? So, none of what I have written warrants a reply.

[ikni150]

I love Monty python. Your group is one of my top three rolemodels, and the only ones( for the most part) who are still alive! You are awesome!!!

[633Cait]

Lmfao

[TheSwamper]

Duh, Eric!  lol

[TheSwamper]

Epic! Hilarious! Keep swinging, Michael!

[guitarguyseventeen]

omg when we he said jones married a 12 year old and moved to switzerland i died XD

[mishima1974]

G-d bless you, Maestro!!!

[Gryfu1]

"When you're stupid, there's nothing that can be done"

Wisest worst ever said.

[demonicspire1]

He actually lives near LA, I know someone who went to school with his daughter. Apparently he went to his house and met him, only later realising who he was.

[Twistingnether]

2:09 lol.

[Edenzmonkz]

Bloody hell your right Eric, people don't get life of Brian. Only smart people can get it.

Stupid people can't get your humor that's why their stupid..

[TheRjb2010]

Mr. Idle, who is Michael Palin and who is Eric Idle.

Are they the same person? Please tell us.

[Monaqute]

well who DOESN'T want to marry a 12 year old and move to Switzerland?

[jakilily101]

My dad got me into Python. We quote it all the time! Anyone who doesn't like Monty Python can suck it and can suck it HARD!!

[stawaz]

i love his call of duty refrence!!!!!!!!!!!

[zachpkpk]

I would love to meet the cast of Monty Python

[HairyClarey123]

Your a true legend and i think you and your colleages did a wonderfull job.Thank You.

[ST3V3NDC]

"get a move on"

'or what'

"or ull be in trouble"

'oh dear, u mean i might have to give up being crucified in the afternoons'

"shurrup"

'that would be a blower wouldnt it, i wouldnt have nothin to do'

I love the part on life of brian where eric is on the cross at the end facing death and starts sings the bright side of life, epic.

[TheDanielGlover]

Haha. Still a very funny man. I'd love to see the gang back together. Monty python is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. I am only 19, aspiring to be an actor and wish that I could do something like these guys did.

[Dreamer00]

"I got sick of watching this. He is not the messiah." Well, that probably explains why the title is "Not the Messiah".

[Yesman812]

Idle reacting to the Call of Duty question slays me.

[TheThreadSafe]

of course he's the real one.. stupid trolls

[redrocorulz]

DONT LISTEN TO HIM HE IS NOT THE REAL ERIC IDLE HE SAID IT HIMSELF... well if your not him where is the REAL eric idle ( ther real one is awsome any way)

[KrikXela]

I bet Eric Idle is the god of first person shooter games! XD

[onda42]

brillaint absolutely brilliant i love "meant to offend people like you"

[bigsheepdog72]

"Once you've collected all the death cards you can only activate them in coop mode, okay? :P" Oh man, that totally made my day....

[ProfessorRJGumby]

"Gilliam has gone completely mad"

I figured that out when I watched "Time Bandits"

(not that that's a bad thing)

[stfwho]

"Brian is not the Messiah! THIS IS BLASPHEMY!" I can't believe people are still this stupid. We entered the Age of Reason in the 1700s and these goofs haven't even caught up after all this time. If you get sick because of that, you must be a full blown moron. Hands down, totally undeniably a full blown moron. I loved the COD5 question. I hate it when stupid kids spam their stupid crap all over youtube, they invented videogame websites for a reason!

[tottpbj]

I loved this interview, but the links don't lead to the intended sites.... I think. Either that, or you've fooled me again, you dirty boy!

Thanks for the laughs, so very much!

Do you know that some of your skits are incorporated into an online game called RuneScape, the dancing knights, the holy grail, and likely more that I'd missed. (those Gower boys from Cambridge, Andrew and Paul, are a hilarious lot!) The Monty Python troupe are epic, and long may you all live and laugh.

Thank YOU!

[AnimeWaterFall]

Monty Python is the BEST!!!! and anyone that disagrees is not smart enough to understand what it is about!!! :D

[MBGamingLegends]

people always say our humour is under graduate thats absolutley wrong, we're all graduates ok? so fuck off

epic, just epic

[MoultonProductions]

Brian is not the Messiah.Eric Idle is!

[Nicsho]

Anyone else surprised that Eric Idle (Again... ERIC IDLE!!!!!!) knew the COD question better than what i assume is a kid?

[chicksinbras]

Goodbye..Thank you...But i want my refund...Please send me 10,000 cans of spam...Hello!

[BoonofTzeentch1]

man, i want my comment on this video... t'would be epic.

[jaqdhawkins]

Excellent. :)

Except the bit about living in America! Why Eric, why!

You do realise they only get 1/3 of the jokes?

[eruption257]

The website for these shows ("An Evening Without Monty Python") is now a safe driving website, "An Evening Without a Car". What the fuck?

[YaRlykonfuse]

I'm in love!

And that since I watched my first MP Sketch when I was a little kid. xD

[laughingowl28]

Fantastic!! such a great mind, thanks for sharing it with us hahahaha.

[hollyb696]

Ha! John Cleese is using a silly walker :-)

[edutuario]

Eric Idle what a legend, love Monty Python

[Craxblorg]

Mr Idle- What would you like as if your own made up animal ever made up? Would you so far as decided to go look more like?

[cymro5]

Very funny. Particularly the response to the Call of Duty comment. Good show!

[weened1]

so its just you and palin?

bummer

[LetsTalkTrueFaith]

I LOVE Eric Idle. LOVE Python!! His comments made me involuntarily shoot liquids out of practically every known orifice!!

[oldaardvark]

Scandalous.

[LeninovaPles]

LOL brilliant

[basanovababyclu]

hes so insanely fing brilliant

[AngryPunkPixie]

the 114 dislikes are the commenters that Eric Idle pwned!

[RichardSpluge]

Oh So you have a Daughter Mr' Idle, Eh What?

Well I'm an American, and was just Wondering if she is of Dating Age?

Know What I mean Wink, Wink, Nudge Nudge, Say no more.

Is she a Goer?

Just having fun with you Mate, unless she likes guys my age Know what I mean.

Thanks for many years of Fun stuff, your a Funny Bloke.

Perhaps Cosmetic Surgery may help....lol

I Really mean it though your Great and have made life fun for millions, Thanks

[capitainehaddoque]

It's just the kind of people we want to upset!!! XD!

[007ladylane]

Love it!

[MrProgrampro]

Awesome!! This is just so awesome!

[johnnyboyprod]

Mr. Idle, you are awesome for keeping Monty Python alive!

[shellicate]

I was only 14 when this movie came out and just watched this morning after many years. That was an awesome joke! Too bad I wasn't old enough to get it then! It doesn't matter though because I enjoyed it today and will tell people. IT IS STILL FUNNY!

[Darlingcarnage]

Eric Idle you and the other pythons are the best in the world i lovz ya thanks for making me laugh

[MateusVIII]

one of the best videos on youtube.

[Faide420]

Fackin Brill!

[commanderkruge]

"recorded at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre"?

KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

[MustacheVerra]

Wow! You guys really are on YouTube. :)

This is great! I've watch The Meaning of Life so many times it's ridiculous!

Thanks for all the laugh you've given us guys.

[fallbread]

Eric you and the rest of the PYTHONS have made my life on this big ball of mud a lot easyer to take THANK YOU and yes when people are stupid that is nothing you can do except make fun of them great job :)

[Crystal3lf]

Such fantastic answers to the question people have written, good on you Eric.

[redrocorulz]

your a big LIE 

[redrocorulz]

you are not eric idle  ERIC IDLE RULES omg im so sad now

[mssinatra]

lol that he would waste his precious time on this silliness...that reminds me...

"THIS HAS GOTTEN TOO SILLEH!"

...

[LeaTheBat]

I'm already waiting, that MontyPython gonna visit me xD

I live in Germany...don't forget your german fans

Germany loves Monty Python :D yeah really ^^

[Obelisk1990]

Touché :D

[roosterbasher]

get A bigger jacket :D my only criticisem or tomato

[that1weirdkid27]

You know what? I've watched this six times already. And it never gets old.

I'm favoriting this.

[PyePye7]

The only weapon & relief against the immense stupidity, dishonesty, greed, illusion of grandeur, back stabbing, intrigue, manipulation, hate, royalty and bad breath on this planet is humour! Which should be banned!

[barren44]

The most intelligent sense of humor in the world! I watch them for 20 years and never get bored!

[FeetQuick]

I love the KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHNN­NNNNNNNN theatre!

[mikebarros6]

Cleese is using a silly walker hahaha

[that1weirdkid27]

I LOVE YOU ERIC IDLE!!!!

[StaraziaSelin66]

1:25 that's the point, you stupid git. stupid damn git. i mean, brian kept insisting that he WASNT the damn messiah!! no shit.

but eric, once again you wow us with your ability to make haters feel stupid and everyone else feel all giggly and laugh.

[DerekBayRoberts1]

I said it once, ill say it again. Eric shouldv'e been the british member of the Monkees.

[Watcherrye]

lmfao, Cleese is still useing a silly walker.... and Fable 3!! woot! =D btw did Eric Idle have any parts in Fable 3? I could of sworn I have heard his voice in it a couple of times =) deffently gots monty python humar non of the less, an awesome buy.

[eviljimbob2]

eric idle is the most clever imbecile youll ever meet

[Chucklehound]

Life would be far less rolicksome, but for the Pythons. Thank you for another spoonful, Eric.

[zeldafreak71]

fucking briliant! For people who think that Monty Python is stupid young humour you are wrong, they are absurdist humour, something that a 5 year old couldn't come up with or understand. It was very popular in theatre shortly after world war 2 so it's not surprising they picked up on it.

[wildboy789789]

i love how eric idol keeps in touch on the internet

[jyork85]

"Jones married a 12 year old and moved to Switzerland" reference to Roman Polanski?

[khesed]

@jyork85 i was about to say, and i think so.

[MoosePasteInventor]

My favorite is the one at 2:10

Not sure why anyone thought that was the appropriate place to ask the question, but hey, he got his answer, right?

[JonnySegment]

@MoosePasteInventor It's all funy, but yes, the one at 2:10 made me laugh out loud.

[NameLessPsychoPath]

calling monty python public schoolboy humor is one of the dumbes things i've ever heard^^

they were actually revolutionary in sketch comedy in actors interacting with cartoons and they were quite social critic (for instance: flying circus - full frontal nudity) and philosophical (the meaning of life)

[anotherguttersnipe]

We think we can talk smack about celebrities without reprimand, but believe it or not, the smarter ones are fully aware of our comments, and if need be, will have no qualms about pwning our sorry asses personally.

[videogamenostalgia]

I challenge Eric Idle to a round of Modern Warfare 2!

[dominikhimself]

2:10 Laughing tears!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[IAmMediocreAtBest]

haha, Jones married a 12 year old and moved to Switzerland hahaha too funny

[IAmMediocreAtBest]

HAHA awesome

[guilherme87tavares]

Alguém faça uma versão com legenda em PORTUGUESE!!!! Pelo amor do BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[littletooironic]

I had to take a laughing break at 2:12 xD

[theiLlama]

I love you.

[highstaminaftw]

I'd like to see Cleese in a silly walker.

[Asperuaca]

I LOVE YOU ERIC IDLE!!!!!!!!!!! <333

[ShaunHawksworth]

What a complete Legend!

In the mood for some Idle movies after watching this :D

[Akuseru96]

I'm surprised you actually know something about modern shooting games...

[WVsarahham]

FABULOUS!!! It's classic MP!!

[lavinia1959]

love it xx

[LaughingPsycho]

My claim to fame is that Terry Jones once bought me a pint. :)

[ClockworkComputer]

@LaughingPsycho You ridiculously lucky bastard.

[StaraziaSelin66]

Brilliant. :D Eric, I think you're cool.

I'm not a special child for it.

[kaimar2]

Anyone else thinking he looks like Alan Rickman in this?

[cellogirlMJfan]

viva la idle!

[DaroArkan]

this is so awesome, especially when he answers the question on Call of Duty.

[sidsixpoint7]

Very funn, except that last part not really seeming like a Python type joke....

[MrRAPTORFAG]

2:15 LOL HE KNOWS! Or he looked it up on the net.

[CaptainNerdish]

Long live Eric Idle.

[NoTagNamesLeft]

Nicely said Eric those answers where funny

[FievelJ69]

a different video clip.

It has to be something which stands out in a certain way. Then Idle is interested in it.

Just realized something,, it was this video clip,, he answers the question about the video game.. (Dohh!)

I'm trying so hard to think of clips I remember seeing him in.

Damn.. Michael John and Graham. Dead parrot.

Worlds Funniest Joke. There's one.. All six of you were in that one.

What was that like,, it had to have been fun.

Fieve... ;-) :-)

[FievelJ69]

Really guys,, all.

If you don't say something which really catches Eric's eye, then he probably won't respond in video. For instance,, lets say I thought all of Eric's stuff stunk. Lets say I said I didn't think anything he ever did was funny. Those are the kind of comments he usually goes after first. It's kinda funny,, if I was of high stature in the same kind of world,, I would do the same.

Asking a question about a game, the asker,, probably wasn't expecting an answer.

That's on a different

[GenghisKhan44]

I'm a Roman Catholic, BTW. Not an atheist who thinks religion is stupidity and delusion.

[GenghisKhan44]

Mister Idle, if you read this, I just want to let you know I liked the "Life of Brian" and agree with it. If I understand it correctly, isn't it more of a mockery of blind faith without questioning, researching, or examining? It's not a mockery of Jesus, exactly, just the idiots who follow it.

As one person wrote on Urban Dictionary, "Christianity:A religion that would have made sense had it not been for the nature and character of its followers."

[CentraCross]

@GenghisKhan44 Jesus wasn't christian...

[mixelek]

You're great Eric !!!

[ShadowXloner]

Ah the witty rebuttal of Eric Idle is so wonderfully comedic. It's as if he doesn't even need to try to be funny!

[KiwiSentinel]

Hey Eric! I you read this thanks for all the laughs. I grew up with Python since college/ public school.

The influence has been quite remarkable and very littlee insanity. I believe this is now relatively under control.

Not yet snuffed it and still love Life of Brian

Martin [NZ}

[liljohnnotbigjohn]

GENIUS.

[BRENDAESQUIVELF]

I love you, Eric Idle!!!! Kisses from Mexicooooo. Monty Python changed my life!! I wish one day I could meet you all

[MansourtheAmazing]

lmao @ the call of duty question

[ThePythonfan]

I saw that on Pythonline too but oh it's so damn funny! Aaah Ewic!

[Akako110]

NO! You guys are allowed to DIE!!

[auntbecky]

@Akako110 Someone better tell Graham Chapman then. I don't think he got the memo.

[steventylersmitten2]

I LOVE YOU ERIC IDLE!!!!!!!

[vef444]

Interesting stuff.

[reccomendapp]

lelzipops

[Phathat1]

co-op question made me happy

[Larrylarp]

"When you're stupid, there's nothing that can be done"

So damn true...

[HeniuriSaito]

And that's why we love Monty Python, of course, not all of us, since there are GROWN MEN around who don't like it and would rather enjoy some old-fashioned comedy such as American Pie which is absolutely gorgeous... If your IQ is on the negative side.

And of course, being an american, saying it is a "public school" humor implicates that he's much funnier because he actually paid for his education, clearly there were JOKE TEACHERS at his school.

[asbosquirrel]

k m8? btwn y n m Erc ths brvtd txt spk n bd grmmr s vry rrttng. lol. Does it means A Lots of love B Loads of laughs C Laugh or leave or D Little old lilly? I prefer C btx bggr I mn btw.

[33dgtp]

ackshully.. 40 years. this isn't 2000 it's 2010 lol

[33dgtp]

Eric, are you interested in buying my soul?

[Burromovie]

@33dgtp i dont think so

[ferretyluv]

I love the comment from the Christfaggot. My god, some people are just too stupid for satire.

[bats220]

haha i laughed my ass of when he talked about Call Of Duty xD!!

[Charapova100]

WHEY!!!! well done! ERIC IDLE YOU LEDGE!!! i love all you monty python people! I saw Michael Palin last week :) he's a nice chap.

[ComedyLiker23]

Is he right at 2:16? I never played COD5. Just wondering if he's telling the truth, or just joking around.

[shadowgilgamesh]

@ComedyLiker23

he's right, that's the best part XD
