Monty Python's The Meaning of Life-Intro/Theme-High Quality

[Windclaw]

There really is no way to go off the railing in a Monty Python movie.

Because... MONTY PYTHON...HAS NO RAILING!!!

[40088922]

man, try watching this opening for the first time while you are sleepy... makez u hah

[khamomilla]

I love this song!!

[idontknowshutup65]

High quality in 240p NO SUCH THING!

[kingpomba]

@idontknowshutup65 It was high quality (not horribly compressed) back in 2008.

[Fataris]

@idontknowshutup65 hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo bam

[bcvasco]

[Barbeta13]

@bcvasco true story ;) 

[feckles20]

Self-replicating DN-A-NAY-NAY-NAY-NAY-NAY-NAY-N­AY-NAY-NAY-NAY-NAY

[Borderus]

love this kind of animation

[austinslevin]

It's amazing. They fit most of life's philosophies into 2 minutes and 13 seconds.

[MrAtomic2000]

i like the part when the astronauts stepping out the door and the train scoops them up to get them to the jobs. i feel like this right now in my life just work and sleep.

[mlrichardson84]

7 people haven't found the meaning of life.

[WatchVenusSpa]

Aside from Gilliam's epic animation in the intro this movie, sadly, was Python's Shark Jump.

[paxpaul]

I love everything about this song, but "For MILLIONS" at 1:26 (press 6 and wait about 4 seconds) always makes me laugh out loud, literally--and I mean "literally" literally, grammar nazis, so back off! :)

Thanks for posting this! I needed exactly this song just now...sigh...good stuff!

[alexgeorge501]

it took god 6 days to create the earth and it took monty python 1 hour and 26 minutes to screw it up, i bet i could do it in one second flat

[alexgeorge501]

there is no funnier film done by universal and monty python than: THE MEANING OF LIFE

[alluvialedaempfer]

before self-praising animation artists and music videos like take me out by franz ferdinand and co. , there was terry gilliam. brilliant !!!

[NeonicFilm1138]

What I'm about to say is from the other movie, but to the 5 people who disliked this: NI!!!!

[ingiroperilmmmare]

1:25...I think that image coming out of the sea it's Louis XIV...isn't it?

[TheAltair4]

Mr. Creosote as a fetus at 0:45. lol

[TheNiyazi1998]

=(

[Fredemans]

I hope that no "dislike, thumbs upp, or 4 people are" comments gets highly ranked on this video as many others have cause monty python is to good for that.

Thumbs upp if you agree beacause four people missed the like button.

[ingiroperilmmmare]

My favourite Monty Python's actors are John Cleese and Graham Chapman, but Eric Idle has a voice that I really like!!!

[mihait39]

this somehow reminds me of Pink Floyd..

[MrBlRD]

4 people are simply spiralling coils of self-replicating dna

[MrRexel14]

4 people have no meaning in life.

[T0mR0b1n]

Well ça c'est le meaning of life!

[midnight8731]

a friend of my dad passed away recently, they played this song with the clip and everything, all of his grandkids got up and sang it together, they also handed the words out to everyone and everyone sang along, at the end they sang always look on the bright side of life, it was a sad but very happy funeral, the deceased was a huge fan of monty python

[MKWfilms]

I just don't know why people would even click the dislike button? Great animation and song!

[AryeDirect]

What better time for The Meaning of Life than now?

[dangodaikazoku1]

0:24-0:36 ROFL!!

[midnight8731]

it will be a sad day when all of the monty python guys are dead. The world wont be funny anymore

[211madmagazine]

Best Monty Python Movie!

[xXBloodyRomance96Xx]

Monty Python is freakin awesome!!!

[KamasutraButterfly]

I've herd that Terry Gilliam actually used ALOT of drugs at the time he created these videos..... which would explain the looks of some of these animations

[TehDK]

@KamasutraButterfly

And you'd be absolutely wrong. Terry Gilliam doesn't use drugs; really, he's just naturally awesome.

[g0500690]

i love this movie!!!

[fayknaim]

this is one of the best comedys I've ever seen!

[MyHatIsGreen]

Brilliant animation by Gilliam.

Brilliant song by Idle. 

[johnnyItunes]

Hmm... People are not clicking enough ,like buttons,

[janniammlive]

[Iamnotabug]

Happy Save Monty Python's Reputation day!

[theardoevsalvin2]

So, just why-- why are we here,

And just what-- what-- what-- what do we fear?

Well, ce soir, for a change, it will all be made clear,

For this is 'The Meaning of Life'. C'est le sens de la vie.

This is 'The Meaning of Life'.

[theardoevsalvin2]

Of self-replicating DN-- nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay.

What is life? What is our fate?

Is there a Heaven and Hell? Do we reincarnate?

Is mankind evolving, or is it too late?

Well, tonight, here's 'The Meaning of Life'.

For millions, this 'life' is a sad vale of tears,

Sitting 'round with rien nothing to say

While the scientists say we're just simply spiralling coils

Of self-replicating DN-- nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay, nay

[theardoevsalvin2]

Why are we here? What's life all about? Is God really real, or is there some doubt? Well, tonight, we're going to sort it all out, For, tonight, it's 'The Meaning of Life'. What's the point of all this hoax? Is it the chicken and the egg time? Are we just yolks? Or, perhaps, we're just one of God's little jokes. Well, ça c'est 'The Meaning of Life'. Is life just a game where we make up the rules While we're searching for something to say, Or are we just simply spiralling coils

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Or are we just simply spiraling coils of self-replicating DNA-nay-nay-nay-nay-nay-nay-na­y-nay-nay?

[huerfanoproducciones]

My favourite Monty Python song of my favourite Monty Python movie

[OXTHEII]

@huerfanoproducciones Agree. I can't imagine how anyone can consider this the worst of their films.

[vincentvetra]

wtf is that a penis at 0:37???????????????

[VisibleInk14]

I love the way he screams "FOR MILLIONS!"

[MINSANEvideos]

1:50 is the TRUTH

[IMSMRTR]

ive listened to this so many times. Easily one of my favorite songs of all time. Tis a shame its just a theme song.

[bestdonkeyoftheworld]

i watched the movie and its the most funniest movie EVER!!!

[LUGNUT1995]

one of there best songs, so cool

[kungfuninja55]

monty python is by far one of the best if not THE best comedy group ever the movie is hilarious

[superpheonixfire]

love the french accent

[alexandergreenb]

I just realized: God looking at the square and the circular earth and choosing one is right out of Leibniz.

[NickInfante92]

Grim Reaper: You are all dead. I am Death.

Host: Well, that's cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn't it?

[hiimnice10]

Music genius. Serious and funny. Monty Python for you.

[domisofa]

SO TURE.....

[PeterRoeder31]

Eric Idle has made some really powerful songs.

I think, after comtemplating it, that Python is Perfect and Flawless.

[IGiveAndYouTake]

No it's not. Half the sketches are terrible.

But the rest are brilliant and the songs stole the show in this film

[revenge288]

Exactly, the crap is to balance out the great, and that's what makes this so great!

[IGiveAndYouTake]

No it just bores you inbetween sketches >_>

[untmortadela]

@PeterRoeder31 The have only one defect.... They ended

[assassin186]

This has to be the best of their work XD

Come on, the title sequence kicks ass on it's own :P

Although, I'd say And Now For Something Completely Different is a close contender.

[KonVay1]

FOR MILLIONS!!! best part xD

[camodude51]

this is deep

[PeterRoeder31]

Very good song

[robotwarsfan03]

best song joint with the galxy song and look on the bright side of life

[fuckingmetal4eva]

i love the movies more than the TV series even tho i have series 1 to 4

this is an awesome film and has some ace songs

[thejoser]

Eric Idle rules! 1:26 is the best :D

"FOR MILLIONS.."

[disrealixgears]

python's the best, nuff said

[Babymarioluigi1]

The machine that goes PING, Every sperm is sacred, Mr Cruseau (sp?), Death, the rugby match, learning about sex, and the Crimson Permanent Insurance Company. FUC*ING HILARIOUS! Best comedy movie ever in my opinion!

[TheInfectedOne]

Mr. Creosote RULES! Best bit of the movie!!

"Ohh come on. It's only WAFFER thin" :3

[Gunderson002]

Crap, Girrr beat me to it.

[Gunderson002]

The meaning of life is 42.

[girrrtacos]

Answer = 42

[slayerfreak121]

Definately my favourite Python film and the most underrated.

[TheInfectedOne]

I sincerely agree!

[clarinetchum]

This is most certainly Eric idle the best Monty Python ever!!!

[LucyferBurton]

this is the best python film by far

[drhowarddrfinedrhowa]

Meaning of Life is my favorite Monty Python film too. I've never laughed longer, louder or harder in my life than when I first saw it on its initial release in the theaters.

I'd say it's a tie for first place with the Holy Grail, which is great in a different way. And with Life of Brian in a very strong third place.

[duddledeedo]

the families in the end look a lot like Gary Larson's style. And this sounds exactly like Eric Idle, no doubt whatsoever.

[WoWster0]

love this movie best movie ever

[thehivesboy]

i need bass tabs for it :O

[rohground]

Who sings this song? Doesn't sound like Eric Idle.

[animeflagger478]

Its is Eric Idle and it really doesn't sound like him.

[phunnyphil12]

It sounds exactly like eric idle - he's just doing a french accent

[jesseymsi]

this is good stuff

[stratd00d]

best movie ever

[thejoser]
