Monty Python - Storytime

[MrImstuck]

cool story bro

[finmagik]

This the reaction people get when they discover Victorian smut exists.

[RevengeSeeker4321]

This looks like MCR fanfic

[ThisIsEnglaaand]

my friend just sent me a photo of a pub called Dingley Dell. Think my life is complete.

[MultiEvule]

omg i love how Erics looking :-)))

[IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE]

Replace the book with a computer and this was my reaction reading slash fanfiction for the first (and last) time...

[StrawberryScream179]

@IxCANxHAZxCOOKIE Or any Fanfiction.

[xArrowxProductionsx]

Eric Idle reads from the compedium of fan fiction, based on children's stories.

[TheDeepEndShow1]

Eric Idle: Worst nanny ever.

[Duvmasta]

I believe the description is supposed to say, "Eric tells a selection of Children's stories".

[GermanConquistador08]

British Mr. Roger's for adults.

[SpaceMasterRahel]

@GermanConquistador08 That's what I was thinking!! XD

[WelloThat]

does anyone know the music from the start of the sketch?

[datguyyo]

"Holiday Playtime" by Cedric King-Palmer.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Only the Pythons could alter a harmless children’s tales television broadcast in such brilliant jests; and as always they use very little vulgar and obscene words but utterly depend on obvious insinuations; and the jumping hares at the beginning are legend.

[HelenaVanCity]

I started to laugh, but then remembered how I recently heard someone read to a little kid a story where the main character was Fart. How nice, classy, and appetizing! Looks like more and more of MP jokes are becoming our sad reality...((

[kea1994creative]

that was one the funniest monty python moments ive ever seen XD

[SkaterSofa]

Cool story bro... Tell me it again

[ThePolerbearproducts]

i watched this sketch on Netflix the outer day i laughed my ass off!!!!!!!

[mrbike69]

Loved it!

[Antimoniter1993]

Where can I find that story book

[Dendiol]

Woo hoo

[XHawkclaw]

oh lord.....my friend told me about this in welsh today, and this is my new favourite thingy <3

[gorthorki]

WAGNER !!!!!!

[bgbdwlf408]

Perhaps a poke with my pity stick will help...XD

[SHOJMPR42]

with a melon imagery is harmful

[ReneeMontoya12]

I wonder how well-drawn the pictures are, and why he doesn't show them.

[Thishoribolcreep]

Very funny, much better than the stuff I do.

[Warrior1984100]

This is lovely! Eric Idle is funny! I like him on Monty Python and as Wreck-Gar on Transformers: The Movie from 1986.

[squishy3000]

It;s adorable how shocked he looks

[freesk8]

I think the book he is holding is actually Richard Scary's "What do People Do All Day?"

[SoulWolff]

@freesk8 It is!!! My brother and I spent like 2 hours freeze framing it trying to figure out what it was, and we came to the same conclusion.

[peteface24]

@freesk8 My favourite childrens book! I had no idea it was that old.

[sillygrl23]

lmao! :D

[MenwithHill]

Who knows the name of the musical intro ?

[datguyyo]

"Holiday Playtime" by Cedric King-Palmer.

[sarttan]

Someone should have mentioned that they got that book from South Park....

[thehoundofmeath]

@sarttan troll much?

[Ganryu666]

@sarttan

yeah...they totally got it from South Park when that skit was obviously around WAY before South Park was even created >.>

[sarttan]

@Ganryu666 It was a joke. That is all.

[Erniethecatisawesom]

@sarttan you should just try to enjoy it or not comment unless you have good reason...

[xNightmarexVampsx]

@sarttan Can't tell if trolling.... Or just really stupid....

[LeoMidori]

Rumpletweezer ran the dinky tinky shop, in the foot of the magic oak tree, by the wobbly dum-dum bush, in the shade of the magic glade, down in Dingley Dell. :3

There he sold contraceptives... D:

[TheBackOfTheBoat]

[Ikkin93107]

There he sold contraceptives...

Thanks Eric. I had an english test today and I had to translate contraceptives from Dutch to English. When I had to translate this whole videos started to play in my head and I had to keep myself from laughing XD

[TheVKfan1]

@Ikkin93107 You're quite welcome. xD

[stefasaurusrex]

This video reminds me of Garfunkel and Oates

[Dendiol]

The bit with the hippo is hilarious!

[willowtree101XP]

[KingLashiec]

What does the priest chant as he literally beats a person into the ground chanting dogma?

[mouse264]

Haha love the way he gets so interested in the dirty bits.XD "Where the men dressed like ladies..." *Looks furiously through the pages*

[ecream0308]

rumple tweezer ran the dinky tinky shop, in the foot of the magic oak tree, by the wobbley dum dum bush, in the shade of the magic glade, down in dinlgy dell... there he sold contraceptives :D

[getmeoffthisisland]

Patrick Burrows fancies you.

[keyboardhero521]

I always carry a long stick to poke people when they get distracted.

[Warrior1984100]

Eric Idle is my absolute favorite Monty Python guy. He makes even weird things sound funny!

[pimasta314]

LOL! eric idle has such an "innocent" face while reading this...it must take quite a lot of disciplne...

[anigodess]

[HipHopOtaku]

Discipline?...Naked?....WITH A MELON?!

[Jackarunda]

[dparsons4]

[cranky1chick]

20 people need to go play with a melon.

[dracnye]

Rumpletweezer ran the Dinky Tinky shop in the foot of the magic oak tree by the wobbly dumdum bush in the shade of the magic glade down in Dingly Dell. Here he sold contraceptives

[diesadlerdie]

lmao no one match up to the

[KingLashiec]

Do you think lumberjacks hang out at the pier too? XD

[dharmaseed]

@KingLashiec Nah, they can't press wildflowers at the pier!

[mcog2006]

I think I can make out what the last story was:

Tommy Tutu loved to skip and jump alot, he also liked to use discipline on his girlfriend, get her naked, and rape her with a melon.

That's just improv there.

[KingLashiec]

20 people were angry soccer moms.

[ChibsogItchy]

...With a melon?

[sasukekuuun]

Not quite related, but...

Eric Idle and the Chocolate Factory.

Just imagine it.

8D !!!

[swordfish1929]

With a melon!? truly priceless

[sousaphonist]

big giant "HUH?"

[speedmasterx19]

weed trip and bad

[Shepuz]

20 people clearly cannot comprehend the sheer awesomeness that is Monty Python's Flying Circus and their excellent comedy.

[veronicafan2000]

LOL, I've gotta' check my edition of "What do People Do All Day" to see if those stories are really inside. XD

[ZeldaQueen64]

I swear to God, this was what "The Legend of Rah and the Muggles" reminded me of when I read the damned thing.

[Luthinya]

This is actually a pretty accurate description for how most fairy tales pan out, when you listen closely enough.

[GreatQueenFan]

god, i love eric... he was so sweeeet

[MarkArandjus]

Ayyone notice that the stories go on for pages? :D

[slotermeyer91]

i want that storybook!! =)

[TheDavidcameron99]

@slotermeyer91 i got it, monty python book. x

[VGRetro]

What's the name of the music at the beginning of this sketch?

[datguyyo]

Holiday Playtime by Cedric King-Palmer, it was used a lot in Ren and Stimpy, and heard once on SpongeBob SquarePants.

[RickandJamesCo]

Can anyone tell me that opening tune please

[procrastinator03]

Does anyone else find he and Tommy Steele look very much alike?

[DerekBayRoberts1]

@procrastinator03 I always thought that Eric looked alot like Paul McCartney, especialy in the eyes.

[EvelKinevelable]

there he sold contreceptives! and... O0O

[Harriet123P]

Those rabbits make my life.

[HarukoChanAmai]

I went to the Dinky Tinky shop once...it's near my school...

[lijluvr356]

I want me one of those books.

If anyone's selling them, please let me know.

[Jordanationalismtion]

My my, the things they do with melons these days.... It's a wonder the fruit industry isn't experiencing a boom in business- those melons wear out quick if you aren't doing it right.

[jerryhello100]

Best children's book EVER

[BeatlesTributePage]

Lol "there he sold contraceptives"

[acla9000]

How cute...

[jumpingjimoneez]

With a melon? XDXDXD can't stop laughing!

[cultmiester]

[Tommygun1135]

I love the little song that plays in the scene with the animated bunnies.

[triplethreat40]

With a melon?!!?

[Keeltrice]

oh how I love Monty Python they make me :-D

[Novazi74]

I wonder what happens when the original story is really played for children........

[prudence00]

You have to admit that you can see it happening.

[that1weirdkid27]

Eric Idle can tell me dirty stories any time. ;P

[gchimmel]

I am in love with Eric Idle. He's so adorable.

[newtland1]

isn't he dead though, I'm sorry I have nothing against eric he is the funniest of the pythons.

[tsimon1234]

No, you're thinking of Graham Chapman. He was the one who died. Videos of his National Funeral are on here somewhere. John does a brilliant speech.

[newtland1]

oh sorry.

[tsimon1234]

No, I didn't mean it like that. I was just saying which one was actually dead.

[newtland1]

it's ok

[tsimon1234]

YAY!!! :-)

[GrahamChapman]

Yes, it was really quite moving, and a bloody shame it was that they didn't record all of it. (It was actually quite long, you see.) I'd recommend you googling it in it's complete written, wonderful, pythonesqe (and quite silly) glory.

[tsimon1234]

Thanks I'll have a look for it. It was very good of them to do it in the way they did, it's how Graham would have wanted it, God bless him...

[HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE]

@tsimon1234 Some of John's speech was " John, I know you're very proud to be the first person to say shit on British television now you can also be the first person to say F**k at a British memorial service".

[tsimon1234]

@HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE Yeah, I was able to find Cleeses speech. It was excellent. :')

[HELPTHEPICKLEISALIVE]

@tsimon1234 Where?!

[NeziHardCore]

agree.

i love this sketch =D

[Radiodragonofdoom]

This has been a reading From "Mother Goose: the Uncut Edition"

[ClawMachine44]

The Bunnies are hilarious!!! Especially with that hippo!

[JuliusAnudasson]

what!? 1:35- 1:54.

who is that man?

[athgard35]

"Momma, what's a contraceptive?"

"Momma, what did they do with melons?"

[eric201]

I think what makes this sketch funnier is the fact that when Eric Idle first started out he worked on a kids TV program.

[8CaptainJackSparrow8]

'with a melon?!"...

Eric Idle gold right there lol

[WilWithOneL117]

with a melon?!

[yveslabelle]

Ce que ca peu etre con...j'adore :D

[Funnyname29]

whats a controseptive??

[lubberkin]

are you serious?

[Luineancaion]

It's contraceptive. It's something that is used to stop pregnancy, so something like a condom or a pill.

[pocketpython]

@Luineancaion - OK, now I REALLY want to know how you stop pregnancy with a melon ?! O_O

[MrMetal12332]
