Muppet Show S2 E23 P2 - John Cleese

[withalittlehelpfrom3]

The whole thing is like a Python sketch! Terry Gilliam would have been proud.

[historybuff5341]

3:28. Best. Moment.

[Sunsetsmiles3]

I -3 sweetums and Robin!!!!

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

Kermit: Now will you take that silly pillow out from under your dress?

Piggy: I LIKE IT!!

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

Dang Kermit. . . I friggin' hate Miss Mousey.

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

I love what The Muppet Show did to people. People explode, kiss Dr. Teeth, fall in love with parrots. Ah!

[SarahWhovian]

ex parrot! monty python reference ftw! :D

[reevesdamn]

[eternal0star]

Man, Henson would have fit in perfectly with Python.

[msudreaming]

Long John Silverstein?

[NYG4LIFE123]

ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: from Latin sesquipedalis ‘a foot and a half long,’ from sesqui- (see sesqui- ) + pes, ped- ‘foot.’

[Tatoon]

Piggy's and Kermit act is great. Nowadays that would never go through in a children's to. Poor kids today...they have to learn everything with porn.

[Tatoon]

@Tatoon

children's show*

[MrChunleewan]

How menu others caught the ex parrot reference in the pigs in space bit, cause I just got it and it only made it better than it already was... if such a thing was possible!

[cleeselover]

"Belabor the punchline!" "We've done that already!"

[jo67445]

john cleese and muppets i don't know how it could be better

[pulpstress]

This show was definitely not made for children.

[xhellonhighheels69x]

I love the duet between Robin and Sweetums

[Stephen10528]

When it came time for Kermit to say something about a fly in his soup I thought he'd say something good about it.

[Stephen10528]

Being a frog you'd think Kermit would be glad to have a fly in his soup.

[horneerobb]

this is classic john cleese this episode, a fawlty towers monty python like stuff lol

[futuremadonna6]

why would a pirate marry his parrot?

XD

[rowzyl]

I love The Muppets!

"I'd be long John Silverstine! Deadliest pirate of the seven seas!"

"You can't be a pirate!"

"Of course I'm a pirate! I got a hat, a parrot, and a hook! What else should I be, a management consultant?!"

lol

[NaiTaiDai]

@rowzyl "So you're a pirate."

"So I'm a pirate!"

[pulpstress]

@rowzyl Which is, of course, doubly funny because John did have, at one point, a company that made management consulting videos..

[macgaiwaa]

Of course I'm a pirate! I have a hat, a parrot and a hook. What else should I be? A management cosultant?

EPIC! :)

[WillScarlet16]

"Prepare the hollandaise!"

[xhellonhighheels69x]

you could never do a song about a pig being left preggo at the altar nowadays

[firesyde424]

"long john silverstein" I died laughing at that point...

[massiveham]

just like i said in '78, 'well, i guess even john has to pay the rent.'

[PublicSting]

"Where be me dubloons?"

[SmacxAttack]

i love the Funny Girl tribute in the wedding song. =] lol.

[SweetJen2009]

[lawoma]

[DrDespicable]

No one expects the Crimson Permanent Assurance!

[Longbowan]

YAY MONTY PYTHON!

[jewfy2u]

I love Sweetums. He's my favorite <3

[painlessissuicide]

and yet he was probably the *sanest* of the Pythons

[vef444]

@painlessissuicide why?

[dawngoth20]

cool

[canderso]

That's no Intercom, that be a pay phone!

[JuddonPlatoon]

That Parrot is awesome

[gnrrrg]

A pirate don't use an intercom - t'would be sissy.

[xXimrealynotokayXx]

DO YOU WANT TO BE AN EX PARROT!!!! yay Monty Python references! :D

[rimmersgirl81]

@xXimrealynotokayXx i love it when that happens in any tv show starring one of the pythons!!! monty python ya can't beat it! i have the complete collection (including the movies!) on dvd!!!

[mabgamer6407]

Parrot: oh sure, Shut up, shut up, shut up, oh sure ya cuz when ya want somebody at home to share a cracker with or something...bla bla bla bla (whack!) Then He bites him, and they have a beak to hook fight lol!

[martijnterhaar1988]

everytime i see sweturns i want to hug him and im a guy at the age of 21 :)

[dharmaseed]

Kermit looks so cute in his tux.

[tuckpesco]

"Belabor the punch line!"

"We already did that!"

Gotta love it....

[drsdino]

That parrot is so cute.

[Bigmac79]

"This Parrot is a dead Parrot."

[tekkenfreak4]

haha nice! "This is an ex-parrot!"

[CaptainBones]

Sweturns is my favorite monster. He and Robin may not look like it. But they do make a good team.

[dharmaseed]

Good thing he missed, or the parrot would have ceased to be.

[zeogle]

"ex-parrot" is that a reference to the dead parrto sketch?!?

[marioroxmysox]

Yes!

[spinynorman230]

yeah,LOL

[HAISPAM]

Yes.

[Jgaldragon]

OMG John Cleese voice Caterwall in the American Tail 2!

[readerwriter]

Miss Piggy is surely based on Lorita Switt, "Hot Lips" from M*A*S*H*

[TamTheHamster]

Sweetums and Robin singing together? - that'S funny and incredibly cute!

[al31nad]

Ex-parrot!! Fantastic.

[cainster]

The parrot must have been difficult to perform...someone standing directly behind John when its on his shoulder and almost at his elbow when it's beside him.

[greatkingofevil]

John Cleese + Muppets = WIN

[Seyhawk]

"ex-parrot"! haha, great reference to Monty Python's Dead Parrot sketch

[zrogoszinski]

Dr. Strangepork!

Ex Parrot!

[NUTCASE71733]

That parrot puppet was awesome

[LFirstbasema]

Miss Piggy looks pregnant.

[folkerm]

haha could you imagine half frog half pig :D awesome

[fntsywlkr]

Is she supposed to look pregnant? I mean it TOTALLY looks like it!

[mspudds22]

Well At The End Of The Song Kermit Says

"Now will You Take That Silly Pillow Out From Under Your Dress?"

And Miss Piggy Says

"I LIKE IT!"

[TamTheHamster]

I thuink Piggy is supposed to look pregnant, yes. - Exspecially with that first line of the song: "I'm in a nice bit of trouble I must confess." - isn't "she got herself into trouble" something they once said when a woman got pregnant without being married?

[Jez32uk]

the PC nazis at Disney wouldn't allow a sketch like this.. muppets don't get pregnant under the new regime

[Trinnztubefun]

Haha John Cleese gets so into it. You can tell he's having fun, and he does such a good job it makes the sketches 10timers funnier

[perualonso]

4:10 - Gonzo's long arm makes a nice clothesline!

[knifewound]

that parrot was insanely cute!

[ANDRIJATOMIC]

jon cleese is the king of comedy

[polarisedelectrons]

'Do you want to be an ex-parrot?!'

Words cannot express my Monty Python glee.

[abstractthreat]

Right? But it didn't get the laugh I thought it would.

[Wargod2]

your right XDDDDD

[greenpeices]

@polarisedelectrons When I saw it i had to stop. pause. Get down on my knees. and thank God to have been born mearly to have seen that.

[polarisedelectrons]

@greenpeices Amen.

[Akionsun]

They mix John Cleese classically, as if it was the original show, while at the same time adding in the Muppets to form an almost new type of sketch.

[darksymphony]

The ex-parrot line is AMAZING.

[ZachValkyrie]

"do you want to be an ex parrot?!?"

John Cleese is a Genius!

[dlausactor6373]

Whoa, WHAT?! "Two Lost Souls" from the musical "Damn Yankees"?!

[spidrmnkey]

Now will you take that silly pillow out of your dress?

I LIKE IT!!!

ROTFLMAO

[Keywings]

"Do you wanna be an ex-parrot?"

I really, REALLY want that to be a reference to Monty Python.

[spidrmnkey]

How is it NOT a reference to Monty Python?

[Keywings]

True. XD

[GirEatsChewyMeatPies]

yes it is look up dead parrot sketch

[Keywings]

I know about the Dead Parrot Sketch, I memorized it a long time ago. :) That's the whole reason I thought about it being a reference.

[dwlightfoot]

Time out...I recognize "Sweetums!" Isn't that the monster from the Noble Romans commercials back in the day?

[WearethePYROmaniacs]

"D'you wanna be an ex-parrot?!" LOL!

~God Bless.

[MoonWarriorAutumn]

Pause at 2:32. XD

[womat]

thank you, thank you ... so great. especially compared to the x&%?! that's running on children tv now ...

[JAF1970]

Is Miss Piggy pregnant?!

[3piratesinthehood]

I was wondering that myself.

[jasobres]

She's supposed to be pregnant for the sketch.

[crystalflaiz]

That was hilarious. Do you think they meant it to be. LOL.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Ex Parrot!? LOL!

[NUTCASE71733]

No kidding, talk about an excellent refrence to Monty Python!

[Morahman7vnNo2]

And at 3:52 When (I think) he says "Relive her of the punch line" But Polly Certainly Says "We already said that" A reference to an episode, but I forget which one.

[Dnrothx]

Pregnant Pig?

[VolumedMusicMan]

The parrots voice sounds like the puppetier who did Bob the dummys voice from the sitcom "Soap".

[megagirus]

"listen! do you want to be an ex-parrot?!" XD gotta love references!

[Ereldor]

'Now will you take that silly pillow out from under your dress?'

'I LIKE IT!' LOL

[verkaforever]

I love Robin & Sweetums!

[DerEisbaerLars]

Das fehlt im deutschen TV und muss auch ohne Reciever für alle zu empfangen sein....denn es ist pädagogisch wertvoll. (Hoffendlich liest das mal einer von den Sendeanstalten)

[thomasedge4life]

english please

[Blakefe]

PIGS IN SPACCCCEEEE

[Richiepookinshoo]

Love the Python reference. "You wanna be an ex-parrot?"

[NTay]

Yes! Saw that coming, though.  Great reference.

[girl43]

the parrot is so bloody hilarious xD

[24Lancelot]

LOL, my favorite part is when he startles the Capt. and is "...sorry?" at 2:25-2:27. LOL, "could be sissy!".

[Poejoy]

The Miss Piggy pillow gag is hilarious--I also loved the Robin and Sweetums act.

[SgtDetritus]

This be no intercomm, this be a payphone!!!

[verkaforever]

One of the waiters looks like Sherlock Hemlock without his hat on.

[Veggieman87]

Poor Cleese. He can never escape those damned parrots...

[jhonnyreb5]

Awesome thank you for sharing

[Mellubellu]

I Love that parrot

[icp423]

"Of course I'm a pirate. I've got a hat, a parrot and a hook. What else am I going to be, a management consultant?"

Classic Cleese.

[Trudeau790]

What a fantastic show this was!

[pureawesomo]

sweetums wat a funny muppet

[eatmybed]

"THIS BE A PAYPHONE!"

Hilarious.

[mcpeepants]

Sweetums really knows how to get down!

[knytrydr73]

OMG! Pregnent Miss Piggy!! *LMAO* They'd never get away with that today! Even with the pillow gag!

[celang35]

"Do you want to be an ex-parrot?"

LOL. That HAD to be a reference.

[richj005]

thanks for spoiling the gag

[xpatronusx]

How was that spoiling it? There's loads of other gags in it, plus everyone knows that one.

[richj005]

Sarcasm.

[xpatronusx]

Oh sure of course, it was blatantly obvious.

[richj005]

Your last comment isn't obvious as to whether it's sarcastic either.

[uofc57]

"Now will you take that silly pillow out from under your dress?"

"I LIKE it!" Hahahahaha!

[Losaru]

The Ballroom scene!!...luvs

[Capng123]

Sesquipadalian! My new word for the day!

[uofc57]

What does it mean?

[NY4Life]

AWESOME!
