Monty Python - Chemist sketch

[academicace]

What's the 4th wall, again?

[MrPjw5]

"RIGHT! I'm taking you down to the station!"

"What for?"

"I'm charging you with illegal possession of whatever we happen to have down there!"

That line gets me every time lol

[NesteaMan30]

FETANG FETANG

[unclemeatster]

I was expecting the spanish inquisition because you bastards voted these comments to the top.

[RADIXCHRISTUSMOLE]

The chick on the poster on the wall behind the chemist looks a little a Linda Thorson, aka Tara King, off "The Avengers."

[rvdizz]

haha 'sorry sir, lot of steps' :))

[taurusgirl65]

Could someone explain why they say "shush" or raise their finger everytime they say "If I can walk that way....."

[astrobassist]

0:54 is when the chemist sketch "starts"...it's hard to tell when one skit ends and another begins!

[LACO777alessio]

"I'll have to get a bigger bottle..." LOL

[backyardstudios96]

SEMPRINI!

[nurb101]

I. AM. EN. JOY. ING. THIS. THANK. YOU!

[NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

If I could walk that way...

[boba697]

"...Have to get a bigger bottle..."

YEAH BUDDY.

[SecretTimeWarp]

So.... the difference between Naughty Eric and Non-Naughty Eric is just a moustache? Hmm.

[SecretTimeWarp]

God, I've seen this sketch so many times over the years, and not ONCE did I get the "mad one, mad two" joke.

[Lamporre]

@SecretTimeWarp

Would you mind enlightening a fan of Monty Python about one of the few jokes they don't get? Is "Mad one Mad two Mad three" a reference to another British show or something?

[SecretTimeWarp]

@Lamporre Absolutely no idea. To this day, that one goes over my head.

[Iamvillainous]

PLAY MOVIE! SCENE SELECT! AUDIO AND SUBTITLES!

[Bob1sGr8]

I think the Spanish Inquisition was hiding in the area of the chest rash.

[SmilingProtoss]

Semprini?

[Vlakpage]

@SmilingProtoss Right! *takes him to the police station*

[brotherjames10]

@SmilingProtoss OUT!

[MegurineLuka16]

@SmilingProtoss -arrestes-

[rocketman544]

That's the funniest I've ever seen Graham Chapman! So nice to see the usual Straight Man cut loose!

[MrAwesome3276]

"I'd like some aftershave."

-"Certainly sir, walk this way, please."

"If I could walk that way I wouldn't need aftershave."

[committeesq]

This is a simple problem to solve

Poison Perfume, known as Poissons by the French.

[StrangerForever85]

HEY! Where the @#$! was the Spanish Inquisition when the guy said "Blimey, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition?"?????

[GuardDaos64]

@StrangerForever85 He was doing a street interview.

[JustinArriaga]

Blimey, i didnt expect the Spanish Inquisition...THATS BECAUSE NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION~

[rowenalouisa]

SEMPRINI!

[brotherjames10]

@rowenalouisa *Drags you away*

[HeeroYuy911]

The women at start is hawt.

would of loved to rub some of that lotion on her chest. lol

[Stroija]

I think the part between 0:54 and 2:07 is incredibly naughty. And it's still quite naughty 'till 2:22. After that it's perfectly decent sketch.

[bowiewondergirl]

eric is so cute ^__^

[bowiewondergirl]

whats pox?

[GrumpyMcfart]

everyone who's a fan of this needs to make every effort to turn "semprini" into a real dirty word!

[xoxoMEEPoxox]

@GrumpyMcfart Already on it. But I've been trying to bring back "grotty" and "gear" for a while now, so a dirty word may take a bit longer. =/

[Tyrathius2361]

@ZennxPaladin "alright, you're under arrest!"

[jim102010]

Who's got the boil on the bum ? Come on...Come On !

[Octavius0]

Crab, Tiger and Almonds is all I ever wear.

[ZennXPaladin]

@Octavius0 why not semprini?

[Cidantis]

that felt like WAY longer than 8 minutes and 32 seconds

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

What would we all watch back when we had 6 channels? Funny stuff!!!

[gorthorki]

what are "pops" ?

[UndeadAngel993]

@gorthorki

He said "pox" :3

[MoarBubbleTea]

I USE AN AFTERSHAVE CALLED SEEEEMPRINI

[exfoliator]

[tsilll]

@exfoliator NO ONE expects the Spanish inquisition!

[sonichockeyaug]

LUNAR MODULE CALLING BUZZ ALDRIN, COME IN!!! NYAAAIII-AYYY-YAYY-YA!!!!!!

"Have to get a bigger botlte."

[Stiny114]

I love the police officers.

[JohnLennonLover9]

FTANG FTANG!!!!

[19ThePurplePython93]

This was extremely ent-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-taining.

[JimmySteller]

@TAfan2

One of the best parts of the clip :D

[JimmySteller]

@TAfan2

One of my favourite parts :D :D :D

Oh and Constable Pan Am :D :D

[JimmySteller]

@TAfan2

One of my favourite parts :D :D :D

Oh and Constable Pan Am :D :D

[markmarktarmann]

are there actually "gumbys", in england, in some remote northwest seaside area?. you know, like Scots, upper class twits, television announcers...do they actually exist?

[markmarktarmann]

"raindrops keep falling on my head" rincewind. serious query? you must be young and/or never have seen "butch cassidy and the sundance kid". some american version of englebert humperdink sang it. they made me play it on the accordian. i HATE the accordian.

[valdas0]

Damn I was expecting Spanish inquisition.

[brnjyb]

@valdas0 No you weren't.

[treehugger99999]

@valdas0 I seriously doubt that.

[descreated]

@valdas0 NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

[Rincewind47]

Does anyone know what's the name of a song Chapman sings at the end of the sketch?

[TheFanMadeTrailer]

bum,knickers,botty or wee wees lol

[TheDameofdarkness]

7 people said semprini and were cast into the fires of hell!

[faithdelusion]

Sometimes police actually do punish the people who called for their help.

[Bikutolu]

YES! I! AM! EN! JOY! ING! THIS!!

[Aleanderson90]

But... what is a SEMPRINI? O.o

Great scketch, though! Love the Gumbys :D

[cwjian90]

@Aleanderson90 Semprini was a musician at the time who was very popular in the UK. Look up Alberto Semprini.

[aPenguin09]

When he said "I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition" I expected the Spanish Inquisition.

[defaultuser010]

@aPenguin09

Which is exactly why they didn't come, because NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

[Ved0000]

Who's got a boil on his semprini, then?

[imallfordabulls]

I shall not say "kn-ckers" or "kn-ckers"

[quizmaster85]

5:06 - I can't decide whether to laugh at Ximinez' appearance or that sudden burst of screaming laughter at that point :D

[megabandgeek95]

7 people are shoplifters.

[myhumanmailbox]

whats all this now?

[BrooklynBaller101]

wtf is semprini

[internetexplorer92]

"oh, that's nice" made me roflmaocopter :D

[NeptuneMS385]

Requisite-t-t-t-t-t-t-..

[Samantha2010Channel]

3:19-4:19 is pure comedic genius. xD

[virushunter4869]

One more peep out of you and I'll do you for heresy!

Heresy?! Blimey, I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

For once, I honestly didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

[Queenrocks2020]

"If I could walk that way I wouldn't need after shave." lol

[KsAnNa]

Whenever I eat Halibut I think of this sketch.

[sousaphonist]

...if you explain the joke...

[byteresistor]

I didn't except the spanish inquisition.

[RevolverKat]

FF-TANG FF-TANG

[mikebarros6]

If I could walk that way I wouldn't need aftershave

[AbnormalProLTD]

I also use an aftershave called SE-E-EM...PRINI!!

[AaronMk91]

Lmao'd at the end.

[KsAnNa]

@AaronMk91 I choked

[Brolytheultimate8]

This has got to be one of their best skectches ever. And that is saying a LOT.

[59media]

i loik' the way he court's the public and wink's arter goin'down the basement.It was PAUL mcCARTNEY WHO PLAYED BASE!not George Harrison.

[KnightOfDelusion]

@59media Um, has someone said it was George?

[Queenrocks2020]

@59media you mean Bass

[milkminotaur]

@59media

You surely mean 'bass'?

[tim035]

@59media

Apostrophes are used to denote possession or for contractions.

[DeusExMJ12]

Right, who's got a boil on his semprini, then?

[DeusExMJ12]

SEMPRINI?!

[DalekHunter1994]

@DeusExMJ12 OUT!!!!

[kubaniski]

What are those guys with the hanker chefs on their heads supposed to be?

[KnightOfDelusion]

@kubaniski You don't know Mr Gumby?

[miclosvalmael]

@KnightOfDelusion morons

[heywoodejerblowme]

@kubaniski In the late 50s the Londoners went to the seaside and knotted handkerchiefs and put them on their heads.Kind of odd but they all did it.

[0g0dn0]

@kubaniski They are the Gumbies, a classic Monty Python staple

[dwarfer22]

@kubaniski if you don't know, you shouldn't be watching this

[umusuuk]

If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need semprini

[GIRfan4]

6:11-7:12 - yet another reason why I still love Graham Chapman (hooray for necrophilia!)

[HeatherRawriee]

"You haven't got anything a little more halibutish?"

"Uh... parrot?"

[pm41224]

The BBC would like to apologize for the poor quality of the writing in that sketch.

This non-BBC quality would get easily loud with words like bum, knickers, botty,

or wee-wees. These are the words which are not to be used again on this program.

[yeshevishman]

You can obviously say you were not expecting the Spanish Inquisition.

[goodbyelonglive44]

NOW THEN !!!NOW THEN!!!!

[Aresftfun]

LOLOLOLOLOL

wait a second....no spanish inquisition? BTW I didnt expect that spanish inquisition. :p

[cellogirlMJfan]

@Aresftfun NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

[juicypigeon]

ON YOUTUBE

[juicypigeon]

WATCH JUICY PIGEON!!!

[DalekHunter1994]

Buzz Aldrin was amazingly BADASS.

[putty1994]

right who's got a boil on his semprini

[Sylar03]

"If I could walk that way, I wouldn't need aftershave." Makes me laugh every time!

[IJustWatchEm71]

@Sylar03 That's my favorite line, too! Hahahahahaha...

[joshaf26]

I love the random mustache Eric wears and then mysteriously gets rid of.

[doctorwhom1]

anything you may say will be ignored, and further more given half a chance i'll put my fist through your teeth

nice to have honest police men

[quidnick]

ooh that's nice...

[shniggle99]

right! RIGHT! RRRRRIIIIIIGHT!!

[metazoa64]

Who's the girl at 1:19? I think she's the same girl from the Summarize Proust sketch; she goes uncredited in both episodes.

[UncleBaldy4427]

Eric has the pox D:

I love fourth-wall breaking-

"Actually I think he's rather over-doing it..."

[CeruleanFilms]

When Eric Idle walks out with the moustache on, he looks just like George Harrison.

[KnightOfDelusion]

@CeruleanFilms Haha yeah, he does a little. Love them both ^^

[sashablueperson]

a fishy requisittttttttttttttttttte...­..

[rowiian]

Michael is the Not At All Naughty Chemist... Figures XD

[smoothandbold]

FATANG! FATANG!

[squishy3000]

"Ah! A toilet requisitttttttttttttttte!" XD I <3 Michael

[ipa91]

"Look, one more peep out of you and, I'll do you for heresey"

"Heresey? Blimey, I didn't exept the Spanish Inquisition"

"Shut Up!"

Hah this sketch got lot of older sketches in it :DD

[HomeworkHelper1]

Can someone from England tell me what this jargon means?

[dharmaseed]

"Who's got the chest rash?"

(pause)

"Have to get a bigger bottle."

LMFAO!!

[pizzaboy399]

I believe the "pox" is syphillis.

[kay3crew]

everything i say will be ignored

[DritteGeiger]

Professor WTF Gumby is my personal favorite.....lol

[shadowpyro08]

And then I go mad ONE, mad TWO, mad THREE, mad FOUR!!! XD

[arthurfriggis]

scotsommers07...Semprini was an orchestral musician (many would say he produced muzak rather than music) much beloved by the python generations parents in the uk...and hence despised by their children...

[toddles822]

A fishy requisit-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t­-t-t-te.

[scottsommers07]

whats semprini?

[KsAnNa]

That last part made me choke. And yes Eric is cute.

[shadowpyro08]

Blimey, I didn't expect The Spanish Inquisi-

SHUT UP!!!

[Jimbobc111]

LOL Ahhhh when Idle winked=om nom nom

[frrVegeta]

@Jimbobc111

Be careful; he's got the pox.

[dcbandnerd]

I! HOPE! YOU'RE! EN! JOYING! THIS!

[floppetylove]

GUMBIES! aww...

[dcbandnerd]

I use an aftershave callllled...SEMPRINI!!

[timmy841212]

Classic. And Eric is indeed cute. :)

[AerosmithAngel31]

4:16 ...that was actually pretty hot. i love Eric Idle =D

[quadturbo4]

That's one of the most deliciously surreal sketches they ever did. Hardly any structure at all. The whole thing is just so marvellously semprini.

[neobob187]

hahaha the police office "SHUT UP! VETANG VETANG!"

[xxKJ127xx]

eric is so cute in this sketch!

[catrulerofdeath]

Eric is always cute

[eyetheskies]

Great!!

5:26 "Keeps my skin nice and scally"

[LifesVoyager]

oooooooo

that was fun

[charged220]

That was so funny I fell off my semprini!

[astrastella12]

SEMPRINI!

[EvilUncleDon]

Semprini!

[Sylar03]

This and the argument sketch are my two favorites.

[KRAZYCorps]

"F'TANG F'TANG!!"

XD

[MaDaMeMaR]

5:05 !!!

[Svensson450]

Grahams FATANG FATANG always crack me up.

[floppetylove]

fishy!

[ichigosevy]

i totally agree with ashluvsjonnystew and randomloves74 about eric idle's hair!!

i just love it! so beautiful! so cute!!!

i have about the same, and this makes me love mine!

[Beefarino44]

Semprini? Constable PanAm cracks me up.

[OrontesRM]

I don't remember the title of the other sketch, but I'm sure it's the second time that Graham sings 'raindrops keep falling on my head..' - probably he loved that song :D

[Stephanie3189]

I think that that sketch was after Ken Clean-Air System sketch in the Live at the Grill-O-Mat episode.

[OrontesRM]

thank you -- :)

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

RANCID POLECAT!!!!!!!!!!! Keeps his skin nice and scaly!

And Eric's hair does look very nice!

[Viteus]

"Walk this way please"

"If I could walk that way I wouldn't need aftershave"

Too awesome

[Racoulda]

Could you please explain that line to me?

I don't quite get it :P

[Endrawnia]

It's from old comedy sketches. I think basically hes saying that the persons walking like a lady or something.

[Outside998]

@Racoulda: I think the joke is that he has shaved his balls. That's why he can't walk this way (because it burns) and needs the aftershave.
