Monty Python Philosophy Football

[nickestone1]

Marx as usual was right

[Apollys]

I wish I could understand everything -.-

[galileomoment]

I play, therefore I am...or am I?

[Lshannon90]

Excellent!!!!

[samboraisgod2000]

suspicion of offside, didn't look behind the ball to me.

[boredgirl701]

I'm not a big fan of football but that was one of the most exciting goals I've ever seen

[slitor]

This is unprecedented.... This is like...Brazil loosing to San Marino..

[wherethefuckisjake]

genius.

[sarcee1960]

But didn't the Greeks score on their own goal?

[Goalkeeper8]

@sarcee1960 No they didn't! This was the second half...

[Xyrophobia]

Since the game is over, they have switched sides at half time.

[5inthehole]

@sarcee1960 Congrats! You got the "inside" joke!

[Maikel04]

EPIC!

[youngfeniansofeire]

go marx !

[SemanTomas]

in which part of MPFC was this sketch? i cant find it in my MPFC set

[Johan191969]

why do they keep running in circles all the time ?

[CrimpyStryder5958]

Love the way that when they actually scored it was an awesome goal!!!

[MrUtinie]

it WAS offside watch in slowmo its definetely offside damn those referees.

[dog5283]

R.I.P Sócrates.

[zxsSharpie]

and confucious say "name go in box"

[LeoDaFreek]

@zxsSharpie book*

[dog5283]

R.I.P Sócrates!!!

[jjahastings]

R.I.P Socrates



[DrJuliusErving6]

1. Socrates was obviously offside (insert Asian eyes joke about why Confucius missed it).

2. Why are they saying Nietzsche is getting booked when it is clearly Schelling!

[GeoSchadenfreude]

brilliant!

[fruiteo]

and marx was complaining it was offside....fucking brilliant.

[CarleyPamulaeo193]

hm Cause life is a game

[panetero]

Am I the only one who notices Beckenbauer on the pitch? ROFL...He's in the middle of everything not doing a thing, with the Bayern Munchen shirt.

[trema006]

OFFSIDE!!!

[hasjkdhlsjakDHLASJKD]

off course Karl Marx is right :)

[christaravas14]

Yeah! We Won!!! Go Greece!

[TheAlmightyAss]

"name go in book" :D

[lobber85]

"Marx claiming it was offside" i bealive marx would have said the same thing if he was alive when the soviet union fell...

[Nokkenbuer]

I bet Plato and Aristotle are debating over whether the ball exists when they're on the sidelines.

[iquiverwithFEAR]

hope these philosophers got paid half as much as c ronaldo does, but a posteriori tells me Hegel would object

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

The Pythons are essentially mad, without seeming so! This is no ordinary jest: Alone to call Aristotle the “sweeper” of Greek philosophy and “very much the man in form” is far too much and reveals a surplus classical education and knowledge; but sentences like “Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination” are way beyond normal!

[5inthehole]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar Shows that they are smarter than the average Bear, hey Yogi? Catagorical Imperatives in Ethics my boot!

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@5inthehole: What means this scene of rude impatience?

[Diogenes1360]

@ 1:34 . . . Well, there maybe no-score, but there is certainly no-lack of excitement here. As you can see . . Nietzsche has justed been booked for arguing with the referee. He accused Confucius of having "no-free will" . . .

[hugofernanades]

even then greece played shitty football

[Crigito]

@hugofernanades it hurts, isnt it? :P

[hugofernanades]

@Crigito Its a universal true,putting 11 men in front of the net isnt playing bright football

[Crigito]

@hugofernanades I agree but the pain is still there! its magical! the goals too:)

[rsheldon86]

Where did Marx come from? He wasn't in the lineup haha

[gohamandcheese]

@rsheldon86 60 minute sub... watch the full version

[TheAccidentalMonk]

Nietzsche as a striker - I wonder if that aptness of position was intentional on the Python's part.

[DudeIncognito123]

Amd confucius he say, "name go in box."

[uranrising]

@DudeIncognito123 "name go in book"

[DudeIncognito123]

@uranrising How can you be sure? Do you really know? You only perceived it to be book. It could be tits.

[uranrising]

@DudeIncognito123 Because at 1.39-1.40 the commentator says the ref has 'booked' Nietzsche for arguing with the referee. The commentator follows that with Nietzsche's argument then says "Confucius he say name go in..." I can hear book and that be the word for where a name goes when someone is booked.

[DudeIncognito123]

@uranrising How do you know that A) your senses aren't lying to you, and B) that even if they weren't, they in any way represent what is happening in reality?

How do you know you know?

But this isn't fun any more.

[uranrising]

@DudeIncognito123 I shall leave this with; How would you answer your own questions that the words are "name go in box"?

[dm827431]

brilliant,!

from wiki:

"Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside."

[lewismclinton]

marxs is claiming it was offside! lol!

[loveilybabi41]

so just turned 18 and want to learn what fun is all about

[SunFlightx]

goal was offsides

[HighnRichChiller]

is goethe having an injury?

[Tails137]

He say, name go in book!

[sams31415]

240p... we meet again...

[WWWmaennerparteiAT]

Wittgenstein was Austrian.

[EireGoon]

@WWWmaennerparteiAT Maybe he was a transfer?

[NickKPinkowski]

If they gave 1$ for every pixel in this video i would have....1$

[TheRandomGrabber]

@NickKPinkowski

wow fuck off you whiny bitch

[NickKPinkowski]

@TheRandomGrabber Dear Random Grabber....I'm just pointing out that the video quality is kinda shitty not that the video sucks or it's not funny.I'm actually a huge fan of Monty Python's work.So why don't you go fuck yourself??

[TheRandomGrabber]

Or in American "Sorceror's football"

[Ivonz]

But the Greeks scored on themselves! So Germany wins! ;)

[frontrightpacer]

@Ivonz

Oh hai, I suppose you didn't notice that the goal was scored in the second-half?

[frontrightpacer]

Respond to this video...

Also, Socrates did score against the keeper Leibniz, it is very obvious from the different dressing. D'oh.

[FF12GM]

They say that Monty Python was 30 years ahead of its time. Well, he fact that this is being uploaded to youtube 30 years later just shows that they were right!

[paddy9934]

Bag him as much as you want- Marx has a valid point :P

[AlphaandOmega]

I found this funnier after I learned about these guys in College Philosophy class :)

[peterdcarter1]

good goal son

[GraytheGuitarist]

What is the significance of Marx saying it was offsides?

[TheHammerOfJustice1]

@GraytheGuitarist just that it such a mundane complaint compared to the philosophical arguments made by the other two, the contrast makes it funny...

[UlysseXXI]

@GraytheGuitarist Marx went to the point directly , without divagations... thats the funny point!

[JonnySegment]

The Pythons were not just hilarious, they were bloody clever.

[bootheven]

God my sides are hurting after watching that. Should have substituted Archimedes for Zeno though because Archimedes doesn't actually qualify as a footballer where as all the other ancient greeks do.

[nathfrancis01]

Thomas Aquinas doesn't know the first thing about being a linesman. Clearly offside. 

[Soilwar]

there should be a pc game like this

[kutkinderen]

Where is Sigmund Freud???

[BL0WY0URMIND]

@kutkinderen i hope you're trolling

[AlBundyFan1]

@kutkinderen freud is autrian not german

[kutkinderen]

@AlBundyFan1 Imanuel Kant is also not a german he ilved in Pruisia

[ayrton89]

@AlBundyFan1 Wittgenstein too

[HelenaVanCity]

This should be banned! I nearly choked on my dinner, when I saw the 2 lists of players!

[selloneciorpi]

It was offside actually...



[Javariko]

@selloneciorpi

It's an own goal actually...

[galenatt]

@Javariko No it wasn't, it was second half.

[Hagge17]

@raiindog1 Aha, I see.

[yeller909]

haha beckenbauer

[Hagge17]

The funny thing is Marx wasn't even the lineup.

[Hagge17]

@Hagge17 in the lineup*

[MrRammsteinKicksAss]

@Hagge17 Marx is German but I think he joined the sovjet team^^

[sidbanes]

name go in book!!! fantastic

[gcpropertymanagement]

Best ever.

[tehredmage]

Wait... I think it WAS offside!

[usamax007]

how did they miss luther, such a talent!

[TheMischievousbull]

Why can't football be like this, I'd watch it then.

[TheGoodDoctorF]

@TheMischievousbull Why cant philosophy class be more like this? Cause then I'd attend it.

[psychozo]

That was so much better than normal football!

[mistergrumpy11]

I wish television wasn't so mind-numbingly stupid these days. Seriously, find me a show today with writing as clever as "Nietzsche claiming the referee has no free will" and "Marx claiming it was offside".

[dyne313]

@mistergrumpy11 Watch Futurama. That show is as smart as it is funny.

[tissot233]

This is so great in so many levels.

[dmc967]

lol and Marx isnt even in the lineup

[akodoryu1]

@dmc967 that's because it's an edited version. you can see him enter the game if you see the whole skit.

[SuperBalders]

nietzsche has been booked for arguing with the referee :D

[disarmonias]

archimedes for mvp!

[RDV333]

I demand the game is replayed with wittgenstein.

[danieldrhhall]

I think Marx is right. Unless that was an own goal...?

[ThatGuysSockAccount]

Schopenhauer FTW

[oneglory8]

.. Sokrates made it again !

[aqebi]

Another great bit of philosophy humour by the Monty Python Group. I love the German objections to the goal by the Greek philosophers:

"But the Germans are disputing it: Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics; Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination; and Marx is claiming it was offside."

Yes, folks, ONLY in philosophy could we actually argue such a thing about a footbal goal! :)

[RaggedM88]

I've never seen this before. This is hilarious! "Bachenbaur is a surprise there"

[TheGrungeGamer]

"EUREKA!!!"

[economienda]

Thumbs up if you are a Philosophy major

[nearchukwu]

My funny loving ribs just cracked whilst watchin this awesome creative piece... Beautiful Cognitive Organic Chemistry in Fruitful + Joyous Creative Movement I See here, from our renowned adorable(s) + intellectual elders... of ancient of days...lol... In suffix to say, Visual Fettle WholeNess In Cognitive + Physical definition through the language of Soccer, the beautiful game...!!!

[laggie24]

I can hardly cover from laughter.... wow ... these names of the Greek fellas are simply magnificant.

I see in the old days it didn't matter what they worn... they knew where the ball is and what to do with it !!!

Hurrrrrray to Football Land !!!

[poutsas69]

ΕΙΣΑΣΤΕ ΟΛΟΙ ΚΑΤΩΤΕΡΑ ΟΝΤΑ ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΥΠΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ!!!!

[MidnightEkaki]

haha now this is real football

[forttrres]

Anyone notice how they say Marx is claiming offsides, but he's not on the roster at the beginning?

[back2frinky]

@forttrres Marx came on as a late second half substitute.  For some reason, that has been edited out here.

[forttrres]

@back2frinky Oh fer sure thanks brah

[primpal08]

name go in book.

[AllMyFriends]

it was offside as well. that aquinas can't see his arse from his elbow!

[DCdabest]

Yay! Socrates is da man!!

[gersman1962]

Tough game with Konfucius as a ref.

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

Wow wish Manchester United, Liverpool and other teams used this kind of strategy lol zs k just kidding man hahahaha

[wingsofliberty437]

I had bets on Germany. God is dead to me now...

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

@wingsofliberty437 dont be a fucking douche

[vividDC]

If you are interested in philosophy, you might want to check out this site dedicated to revealing the truth of life. Search "Truth Contest" in Google and click the 1st result, then open The Present and read what it says. Pass it on to everyone you can reach.

[s00zster]

Awesome diving header by Socrates there.

[andreas55k]

Marx was right... It was offside XD

[Shaggysan]

the lesson here is at the end, greeks take part in the action of their ideas,hehehehe.h

[Rex0142king]

Aristotle's biggest achievement: How to be a scientist. Lol

[brentmcd]

"Beckenbauer obviously a bit of a surprise there"

[MeteorArmageddon]

@Codegirl02 don't spam video comments.

[shahafsagi]

UK people are geniuses...I wish I lived there. :(

[luxemboi]

'But the Germans are disputing it: Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics; Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination; and Marx is claiming it was offside.' - isn't this the funniest thing anybody has ever said in the English language?

[chesterngiamzhenghao]

@luxemboi asshole

[luxemboi]

@chesterngiamzhenghao Fuck off and learn some manners.

[finnyliverpool89]

@luxemboi in any language

[yuirrr]

@luxemboi It's not really smart from them, they are just making fun of the philosophers.

Itself, there is no content.

Marx is fun, though.

[RobertoWatchin]

@luxemboi I'm usually against the "quotes of what we've just seen" scenario, but feck me.. that's good

[Salvus967]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dragynn5]

I heard the American Team was unable to compete because, due to a miscommunication, it tried to play the wrong type of football. This left the players in an existential crisis where they were unable to determine the meaning of "football." Meanwhile the new Economical Hockey team, the Social Darwinists, drew American attention away from Philosophical Football by dominating in their first season (ironically by (mis)applying the theories of Philosophical Football commentator Charles Darwin)

[Sonicblade128]

@Dragynn5 -- It's too bad; I was truly looking forward to the US-France match. Granted, not sure how France is going to do this season without their shining goalie, Jean-Paul Satre (after his suspension for mescaline injections). I wasn't surprised when the US kicker and author of "Common Sense" Thomas P. said that he was glad that "La Nausée finally got vomited out," but I loved what France's coach, Voltaire, sniped in response: "A witty saying proves nothing, you utter Paine-in-the-arse."

[Streety101101]

:D this is way more exciting than real soccer

[TheLeilisa]

football would help you grow taller ?

[Youravo]

"...and Marx is claiming it was offside..." haha :D

[smjltd]

Didn't the Greeks just score an own goal? It was in the half they started in?

[mmmhays]

@smjltd well actually, since the goal came in the second half, possession wouldve switched sides, although the players never did. =p

[TSM8088]

"there's the ball, there's the ball...."

[projectotaking]

Technically Archimedes was a physicist and engineer. Unfair advantage having an empiricist in the lineup!

[1927gallagher]

I don't mean to be pedantic, but Greece's goal was clearly offside.

[qertasdfgzxcvb]

Of course the Germans lost.... Beckenbauer playing football was a mistake. xD

[Staren100]

Marx, is correct of course.

The goal is clearly offside.

[AvmanM]

Name go in book!

[gQuaresma07]

haha

#9 and 11 in the greek team

[Hombay17]

".. and Marx is claiming it was offside."

[luxemboi]

@Hombay17 That's the best line - genius!

[pickitupp]

@Hombay17

and he's right too! I guess the linesman, St. Augustine, needs to add that non-call to his Confessions, eh?

...hey, fuck you. Philosophy humor is hard when you're not a python!

[rockslideproductions]

@Hombay17 Best part of the skit.

[zombiehampster]

I LOVE PYTHON!!!!!!

(excuse my capitals,they appear when I'm exited)

[GamingIsTheBest]

own goal

[doublemandala]

They should have this referee at the next World Cup 2022 in Qatar...

[simoncase]

The referee Mr Confucius checks his sand.. and they're off :D

[shimidis]

Is it from movie or tv series ?

[cplpun1]

@shimidis its from "monty python live at the hollywood bowl" at least thats where i saw it.

[echo680]

@shimidis tv series
