  • real face-slap @ :43...i have tears in my eyes as i type this

  • no, but it's funny :)

  • This isn't gunny

  • Though its really hard to hear what they are saying : /

  • I used to be a not that big of a fan to Monty Python... And now i love them :D <3

  • 1:42 Bishop of Dulwich!

    

  • Not at all realistic, there were no young boys getting sodomized, and the the actors were almost human ;-P

  • I'm sorry but I can't understand this video without subtitles. Why can't people speak English?

  • That look on Michael Palin's face when John Cleese slaps him is classic. I don't think it was scripted.

  • @JonGee420 It wasn't, it was an accident that was too funny to remove XD

  • RIP Christopher Hitchens

  • love the archbishop of Australia, i wish our archbishop was like that.

  • lolallreligionsinanutshellimah­teistlol

  • Christianty in a nutshell...in fact ALL religions in a nutshell.

  • @geezusispan Then you didn't understand the joke.

  • @Soothfish No, evidently you didn't understand the joke......

  • Comment removed

  • David tenant? Is that you?

  • He looks somehow like David Tennant in this video.

  • I wanna be in their church lol

  • I see the French people in MP and the Holy Grail saying "we've already got one" was actually a recycled joke. Although the "can we see it?" reply was new at least.

  • life of brian was a good movie, it made fun of religion

    also i own the entire flying circus, which episode is this?

  • Michael's surprised face when John slapped him...XD

  • communism 

  • Comment removed

  • @MikeSrdl Look, I know that this maybe isn't the easiest thing for you to understand, but I didn't ask for a source. I can make whatever absurd claim I want, and find a source for it. I was asking for an article published in a PEER REVIEWED magazine. If it's not peer-reviewed, it's just as useless as the bible. Also the article that you sent me contained absolutely no reference material. I wrote better articles when I was in elementary school.

  • 112 is the swedish 911

  • monty python: only straight men who can dress like women and still be straight.

  • @redreaper2020 Graham Chapman was gay actually.

  • @KingKehra oooooooh

  • I can see why you would just want to enjoy the comedy and I certainly do but I can defiantly understand why you do get such discussions here. Religion is a fascinating subject which makes some very bold claims about the world and I fail to see how you can not care about it. I am sure that monty python would have realized that jokes such as those in the life of Brian would lead to such discussions. I think it is a good thing as humor is one of the best forms of criticism.

  • One can wonder what one should do with the Norwich city council.

  • lol @ all the haters and people arguing xD I'm literally loling from reading some of these comments!

  • 2:26 - What the Christ?

  • Jesus Christ, Alla, Muhammed and Moses, EVERYONE SHUT-UP ABOUT RELIGION!!! If you want to argue do it on an ACTUAL religious or scientific video, or better yet say it in good ol' real life. I'm 14 and even I can tell you are just supposed to watch and enjoy this video >.>

  • lawl at the archbishop of australia xD

  • I'd like to know more about Anna.

  • @reformCopyright She is too big for her age.

  • @MikeSrdl And because the evidence supports it, you fuckwit.

  • @KeepItRawKeepItReal okay. and theres evidence supporting the fact that moses split the red sea by finding carriage wheels and other artifacts where he was supposed to do it. but you still don't believe he split the red sea, do you?

  • @MikeSrdl I'm overwhelmingly excited to receive some more information about this great find. Please tell me in which peer-reviewed article it is published in, so I can go and read about it myself.

  • ive got one already!

  • Makes me think of current day conservative Republicans here in the US. Michelle Bachman for example and that nut job that endorses Perry by saying that Mormonism is a cult. Not to mention Romney's magic underpants.

  • @bstarzewski - yeah thats right - Christians and Mormons are the real nutjobs. Lets totally ignore the religion that lives in the 12th century, lobs your head off with a sword, blows children up on their way to school thinking it will get you 72 virgin in paradise etc. They're not the crazy ones? Its those damn kneeling Jesus lovers.

  • @RocktheStageNYC I do not discriminate when speaking of crackpot religions. But I have a particular problem with religion as a commercial enterprise which is what it has become here.

  • @bstarzewski - Not sure Religion has become a "commerical enterprise" here in the US but I do see your point. Its gone beyond just a belief to comfort people, its used as a tool to control and intimidate. Unfortunately we have some who take their religion far too literally and use it to blow kids up.

  • @RocktheStageNYC Where I live in Wisconsin there was a very successful fundamentalist "church". The husband and wife pastors built it up to quite and enterprise. Then suddenly they announced that they has SOLD it to a new preacher and were starting a new parish in none other than Branson Mo! They took all the assets and cash, bought huge SUVs and got outa town leaving unpaid debts and bills all over. What kind of CHURCH can be bought and sold like that? Thats what comes to mind when I see this.

  • @bstarzewski - well that's a bit different. That's basically scam artists using religion as a means to acquire wealth. They're not really religious or "Pastors". Snake oil salesmen. Nothing knew really. Those kind of people have been around since we settled the Old West.

  • @RocktheStageNYC Well you need to go down south and hang around some of these Baptist and other churches then. That is how they operate. They are run like cottage industries. Your handle implies you are from New York, right? Have you ever seen these TV preachers? Everything is send money for this and buy that. tithe your income! The problem is that people think they are donating to a church when in fact its going right into the pastor's pocket. Elmer Gantry is alive and well.

  • Mr. Bruce Beer, Archbishop of Australia got me for some reason :D

  • "I've got one already!"

    *Strangles*

    Best part XD

  • Scientology. 'nough said.

  • @IamSJ2468

    Christianity. 'nough said

  • @RogerabbitGosu I guess the skit went over your head.

  • @Soothfish

    nono i did, I am just saying Christianity is just as bad as Scientology. I was agreeing with the skit

  • I'm in for the furniture suite. Nice 60's modern.

  • wheres that filtrered IM A MORMON ! channel.

    im going to go door to door and play this video.

    HEY DONT OPRESS ME !

    ITS MY RELIGION !

  • Who just laughed because of the video and didnt comment on religion whats so ever.

  • @zezimarules1 Me! :D

  • Bishop "Sarah is enough to make any chap go down on his knees!" Ha!

  • The beauty of a free mind - liberated from the matrix.

  • Who's Peter Bernetti?

  • @titleydaniel

    Peter Bonetti - goalkeeper for Chelsea 1960-1975

    He played against Germany in 1970 WC quarter final.

  • Look this is a funny video because it takes the piss out of the establishment, that's all. No need for a debate. People can believe what they like or know what they like? Life is a mystery to us all. I dont like to categorize people and I dont like fundamentalism or extremism on ant front or manifestation

  • a caravan!

  • A chance at winning the entire Norwich City Council? Where do I join?

  • @Tarynus

    I have one already. I'm tired of it, I'm putting it on eBay, anyway, feel free to bid.

  • I find it funny that this videos like this tend to lead to annoying Religion vs Atheitism debates. I'm a muslim and a friend of mine is a Christian and we're both big Monty Python fans so shut up and let's just enjoy some classic comedy.

  • @Elementa2006 It's also funny how this skit is a commentary on what religion is. Guess the message just flew past you, then.

  • @Wonloongify No, I just know how to appreciate good comedy and the Pythons unanimously deny that they were ever out to destroy people's faith. On the DVD audio commentary of Life of Brian , they contend that the film is heretical because it lampoons the practices of modern organised religion, but that it does not blasphemously lampoon the God that Christians and Jews worship.

  • @Elementa2006 Absolutely right!!

  • @Elementa2006 non sequitur

  • @Elementa2006 Then you're both mentally ill. Especially you.

  • @MrFlibble2011 Oh wow, someone who uses pathetic insults when he/she doesn't have anything smart to say. I'm shocked..........

  • Comment removed

  • @Elementa2006 Satirical cartoons are classic comedy, isn't it?

  • @Northern85Star It is but it's not supposed to be taken seriously as it shows some of the comments here

  • @Elementa2006

    Hope he realizes that you're religiously bound to decapitate him whenever you get the chance.

  • @Elementa2006 Muslim fuck, go and get some proof

  • @Ipowne3g Really?

  • @Elementa2006 oh go hug a tree. With your fascist ideology. Lets all hate each other.

  • @TheRealSmacker I mean REALLY?

  • @Elementa2006 I agree that it's funny. But it's also heresy and as such you shouldn't be laughing at it. God sees all. See you in hell! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!! xD

  • @MikeSrdl

    Right on. Science is too unbelievable to take seriously. Atheists think idiots like "scientists" and "teachers" have the ultimate authority. How can people see the Bible and honestly think it isn't real? It's the word of God! And if you can't trust that, what good are you to society?

  • @ChristianInvisibles What a twat

  • @chrisofnottingham

    sar·casm/ˈsärˌkazəm/

    Noun: The use of irony to mock or convey contempt.

    ;)

  • @ChristianInvisibles Yep, Poe's Law proved yet again, I did wonder.

  • What is it with you atheists, with our existence completely random? There is a reason for everything, and a reason for everything we do. I hope we can agree everything a human does has a reason. You have to understand everything else that happens does too.

  • @MikeSrdl How do you know Jesus said that? Because the bible tells you so? This is a vicious cycle....

  • Who knows who Peter Bonetti is? I do. But Google would find him quick enough, I guess, so my specialist knowledge is essentially of no use.

  • With one so called religion you get 72 virgins. another offers magic underwear.

  • @MikeSrdl If I was in your shoes I'd give up on believing in bronze age superstitions, as I did while in my own shoes.

  • @MikeSrdl How incredibly well meaning yet intellectually condescending. Your stance in life, your beliefs are not good enough- so join our religion, or burn in hell!

    Never mind that this religion of yours is filled with the most abismal bronze age morals, used to oppress and control; used to persecute those who believe differently and to dominate politics, all through belief in the supernatural. It is superstition at its worst.

  • Things I like about religion (just 1 really):

    Even the most ludicrous sci-fi series plot is infinitely more believable than any religious fairy-tale of tablets falling from the sky when no-one is watching, people teleporting to the heavens (also when no-one is watching) and holy one-to-one calls with the villages self-proclaimed prophet/crazyperson

  • @deslegumes But Mohammed supposedly rode a winged horse to heaven! (I guess they were fresh out of flying carpets.)

  • @acrovader thats much like saying that christianity proposes that the universe was created by Jeff the magic demonic aardvark who tryped on his cat at the point of creation. If your going to insult a point of modern human knowledge at least inform yourself what it proposes first.

  • @acrovader Not from nothing, amino acids.

  • thats fucking hilarious

  • How dare you guys take something as awesome and funnny as Monty Python and use it to insult people and attack people's beliefs? Seriously?

  • @itztheJL Because MP can't do it on its own.

  • @itztheJL Because peoples' beliefs are surprisingly and stunningly stupid. To those who like to think and base their opinions on facts actually insultingly so.

  • @itztheJL Uh, bro, the sketch has a fake preacher pretending to be a nice guy and then has him erupting with a demon. Multiple times.

    The sketch WAS insulting people.

    Regardless, if you really that Christians don't attack people's beliefs and insult them, then you've never met one.

    They think atheists are heathens and all people of other regions are worshiping false idols, and therefor worshiping satan.

    That's in the bible, if they don't believe that, then they aren't Christians.

  • @becausehorse

    Now THAT was a stupid statement.

    Are you a simpleton or something? Religion seems to breed those sorts.

    No dummy. I'm saying that religion has historically caused more death and destruction than any other motivating factor. This cannot be debated. It is fact.

    And for those of you who are about to drag out the same old tired arguments about the massacres committed under Stalin, etc, etc, I submit to you that Stalinism WAS a religion. Do some reading because horse. You need it

  • @CaperAway1 "I'm saying that religion has historically caused more death and destruction than any other motivating factor."

    I would argue that politics has caused more deaths than anything because a huge number of the bad events that happened including the Crusades were all started by misuse of politics, and that's a fact.

  • @CaperAway1 cont... don't get me wrong though religions should have no place in this statistic and yet there they are in 2nd place when they should be 1st in the 'make life better for everyone' statistic. sad, very, very sad.

  • @CaperAway1 sorry but there is one motivating factor that trumps religion. and it is without a doubt the number one factor involved in every single act of murder. people. in every single case a person has been involved. fact, this can not be debated. hahaha stalin shmalin who needs him to prove people can be assholes, and generally, assholes will use anything to justify their crimes.

  • @CaperAway1 The proper quote is,

    "Religion has caused more harm and misery to more humans in all of history than any other single idea" M.M.O'Hair

  • @CaperAway1 - actually, historically more death and destruction has been motivated by a thirst for power and control. Religion in some instances was just used to motivate people to action. One cannot say the death & destruction perpetrated by early civilizations was motivated by religion.

  • Eric Idle looks awedully like David Tennant in this

  • Crumpet over 16. :)

  • You religious idiots. You're all brainwashed...

    There is no god. Religion is a farce. It's snakeoil.

    Religion causes nothing but death and destruction.

    The sooner you religious whackos get over it and wake up to reality. the better off this entire planet will be.

  • @CaperAway1 just like how video games are responsible for all the wrongs of society

  • @CaperAway1 People like you make me think that atheists are tired old sacks of shit.

    Seriously. Who the fuck cares if someone believes something? Technically, your belief that there is no God is a belief in itself. No way you can really prove it.

  • @Lordkurova

    If disbelief is a belief, than zero is the same as infinity.

  • @SSTTEEAALLTTHH Sure, why not. They're both endless.

  • @Lordkurova

    Zero isn't endless, on the contrary, it's a point value, in algebra the universal mean between the largest positive and largest negative value imaginable.

  • taking something as awesome as Monty python and trying to attack other people's beliefs. You should hang you head in shame

  • @alternativebassist No. Ridiculing irrational beliefs and pointing out their flaws is what comedy does and has made Monty Python as awesome as they are. Lighten up.

  • @kroschfoenigin but that's not reeeeally what they're trying to do...rather what they're actually doing is creating a rather humorous game show parody, which is fine. But for people for then to justify that as to put down all beliefs as "irrational" is not what the pythons would have wanted :'(

  • Google "Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python"!

  • @Gavinwr75 1- Prove there's a God. 2- Prove that if there is a God is your God 3-Prove there's a "judgement" 4- Prove there's a hell 5-Prove that Hell is a place where you burn... good luck... besides you don't know much about this comedians, do you? they don't make fun of religion often so your claim that all Monty Pythons humour was based on hating God and laughing at religion couldn't be more wrong...

  • @Gavinwr75 I actually feel sorry for you for beleiving this. I now u have wasted ur life and it actually makes me sad knowing so much of the world shares these views and the suffering of people because of it.

  • @Gavinwr75 Haha,guess what? "God" doesn't exist. Prove to me that "God" exist.

  • @Gavinwr75

    No, you misunderstand. It's not about hating God. It would be absurd to base their skits on hating a fictional character now wouldn't it? It's in fact about making fun of the morons who believe this religious nonsense, such as yourself.

    "They will burn on judgement."

    Do you actually believe that they deserve eternal torture for their comedy? You have a disgusting and psychopathic morality if you hold that view.

  • @sdrawkcabgnipytmi for you info, Hell is a pagan concept not a Christian belief, and judgement occurs only once on the day of the Lord when all you atheists wake up to the fact that God did exist all the time and you were living your lives in sin thinking you got away with it. Then you get destroyed end of. Thats punishment with eternal consequences not eternal punishing. The pythons lied to you and you swallowed it hook line and sinker.

  • @Gavinwr75

    Hell is a Christian belief. It's talked about in the Bible and many if not most Christians do in fact believe in it.

    Could you tell my just what evidence there is for god? I honestly don't see any.

  • @Gavinwr75 Do you have any more information than anyone else does about the existence of god? No, so stop arrogantly claiming to.

  • @Gavinwr75 Actually, the concept of Hell as we know it came from Dante's Divine Comedy Trilogy. The one that commented on Hell and all of it's tortures in Inferno were what really got the ball rolling. Yes, Pagan religions had afterlifes, but it was not very much heavily thought upon. It was not until Inferno that Hell became something the Church took upon as a way to convert. Personally, as a Pagan who denounces any afterlife and believes in reincarnation, I feel you need to read a little more.

  • @Gavinwr75

    ......facepalm

  • @Gavinwr75

    I don't know man, they're making fun of god's followers, and that includes people like you!

  • @Gavinwr75 "... They will burn on judgement."

    What if God doesn't exist? What then?

    You only say that because that is what you were taught as a child. You don't really KNOW of what you claim, as there is no evidence that gods exist, much less you version of god. To say otherwise is to lie.

  • @Gavinwr75 whatever you do, please don't breed and make junior Gavinwr75's!

  • It's like watching a scientology seminar. I love Monty Python.

  • This is why I love Monty Python.

  • What episode is this from? I've watched every season back to back many times and never seen this once.

  • Just like watching the Trinity Channel, only funnier, but just as accurate as far as the "truth"

  • As a child I would love to watch Dave Allen, and these type of sketches about religion. I think it has helped us to understand how stupid it all really is, and maybe why UK has progressed further than the USA in leaving behind ancient myth and superstition?

    THANK YOU Monty Python.

  • Eric Idle's religion for the rich people sounds like Scientology

  • Damn those cartoons always creeped me out!

  • Naughty Religion style John Cleese reminds me of Mathew Perry for some reason :/

  • are you happy to be here ,*slap*! hahaha

  • lol supposed to be a search lol

  • Monty Python mr stools

  • wow I never saw until now how much Monty Python take the piss out of religion knowing this now really brings the warm fuzzys

  • *listening to this and watching blackadder 2 x)"

  • It would be good if it weren't for the fact that they depicted violence against women.

  • lol 666 likes, woot...

  • The Python's really love their drag! :D

  • The part with the cartoon vicar in Cartoon Religions reminds me of the true nature of Christianity.

  • @Warrior1984100 yes that's what i thought too... religion is a parasite imho

  • But my question to all of you out there is…

    Have you found Eris yet?

    “Hail Eris, all hail Discordia” )|( , =Þ lol

  • Comment removed

  • um i dont get it at all ?

  • Classic!

  • Eric sounds like Spike Milligan.

  • The Archbishop Of Australia, lol, must be a queenslander

  • Awsome! I love Monty Python! But I don't remember this particular skech.

  • Woooohhh ....  nice slap !

  • BRILLIANT!............ "Really the worship of a dead JEW ON A STICK seems pretty pointless" if want clip shows by default on channel opening.

  • I like a bit of "love thy neighbour." Who doesn't now and again?

  • Crackpot religions, also known as all religions.
