Monty Python - It's Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

[Lshannon90]

This needs to be a real show! I watched Lord Nelsons death over and over again. LMFAO.

[ninja4344]

Cat sounded like the sarlac pit

[24SparrowJack]

john cleese as Wolfgang and that accent just cracks me up

[slimeytoes]

I could see this on TBS... Top 100 celebrity deaths.

[Liverynew1]

Edward the 7th died after he was told that his horse had just won a race his last words were "I am very glad" St. Stephan died by Saul (EG apostle Paul) and and angery mob of stoners after being Accused of blasphemy against god. Honestly he doesn't deserve the number 1 spot Crassus does.

[russinhouse]

kismet, hardyyyy. ..... viv stanshall ?

[TheDancingChinchilla]

why is King Edward #7 in last place? His wife shoved a hot poker up his ass! That's the most comical historical death ever!

[rebelsushi]

@TheDancingChinchilla That was King Edward II



[Reepicheep28]

@rebelsushi Look at the scoreboard, VII, that's 7

[rebelsushi]

@Reepicheep28 I was responding to someone. The content of the video is irreverent. Please reread the comment I was referring to then comment back

[Lshannon90]

@TheDancingChinchilla That was King Edward the II hon, Edward III's father.

[rietveen26]

the guy at 1:24 played a role in ''a clockwork orange'' too right?

[dljm226]

@rietveen26 I don't think so...his name's Eric Idle.

[dangercats77]

lol, its like a live action english version of deathnote XD

[twilightchik11]

@dangercats77 Oh, gosh, it is!

[histupata1]

king edward 03. something

[liquidponycannon]

Take it away, Genghis.

[Dune1884]

Strewth! HUARGH!

[DaRealNeithan]

Yeah Cleese sounding like Christoph Waltz (Hans Landa) in "Inglourious Basterds" is due to the fact that Cleese perfectly copies the accent of a german speaking english with german pronounciation. And Christoph Waltz also did it on purpose in the film, I've heard him speaking english without (much) accent in some interview. Btw. Cleese speaks german really good as far as I know, there's a couple of sketches where he does and it sounds really good regarding the pronounciation ;)

[LootFragg]

@DaRealNeithan Only that he doesn't rrroll ze Rrrr. In fact, most German people struggle with the English R. In an attempt to get away from the palatal R we're used to, most go into extremes and pronounce it as a W. The stereotypical German Z replacing the TH we can't pronounce either is alright but the perfect pronunciation of the R inflection is a dead giveaway. Usually, a skilled speaker who knows about the R has already learned the TH.

But Cleese and Waltz are awesome.

[LootFragg]

@DaRealNeithan Also, now that you mention it, I just love how Landa speaks perfect French and perfect Italian but sounds like a stereotypical Kraut when talking in English. It establishes his education and his constant superiority as a detective and at the same time separates him from the allies he's talking to, creating a "that guy" image rather than the feeling he could be one of them if it wasn't for the uniform. I just loved Waltz' acting in that movie. The stare, perfect. FANBOY ALERT! :D

[Zonno4]

Ah this was the first one. Will never forget that.

[desmondmyers]

He sounds like Christoph Waltz!

[LordBifford]

Genghis Khan never invaded India.

[35april]

Cleese cracks me up here!

[Jemma1999]

Oh blimey how time flies! I have been watching monty python for an hour now!

[Neosaintjimmy]

1:01, lol

[Rakafeth]

They don't get a lot of laughs from the audience in the early shows, probably because people have no idea what's going on.

[nogitsunefox]

@Rakafeth It's great how they went from the small crowd laughs to selling out theaters.

[SWI0001]

why not do the death of WolfgangAM

[bigdaddy3k]

How was this episode aired before it was recorded?!

[VoteForRonPaul2012]

@bigdaddy3k

That's the British date sequence

DD/MM/YY

[bigdaddy3k]

@VoteForRonPaul2012 Sometimes I'm so stupid.

[SkilesASMB]

I pray my last word on this planet will be "Strewth!"

[marstheforthplanet]

2:31

[pitupraveen]

cleese sounds like the character Col. Hans Landa from Tarantino's 'Inglourious basterds'

[0670717]

@pitupraveen I think the other way around would be accurate since this was filmed in '69

[motherfan55]

Actually, Admiral Nelson's last words were:

"Fan, fan. Drink, drink. Rub, rub."

I saw it on QI.

[LilDrummerBoy74]

Its Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Amadé Mozart! To go by his baptismal name. I'm an orchestra dork, I know.

[WagonManBand]

That's exactly how Nelson died.

[bigderekkeene]

@WagonManBand Wrong. Nelson actually jumped from the roof of a multi-storey building to his death. In this clip he is clearly shown embarking on his trip to meet his maker from the top floor window.

You know once in History class at high school i actually heard my teacher claim he'd been killed by a sniper during the Battle of Trafalgar!!! How ridiculous, everyone knows that was Cleopatra, Nelson faught at Zarma, he led the Royal Air Force against Scipio.

[BillieJean4all]

Yay, Guilford<3

[AlaricxMalgraith]

Should be Jeanne d'Arc

[s020015]

@AlaricxMalgraith Is Jean a male name?

[AlaricxMalgraith]

@s020015

Yes

[s020015]

@s020015 Yes, for example, Jean Valjean of Les Miserables.

[P0weredByPie]

@s020015 - Depends on the context. Jeanne d'Arc might've been more accurate here, as they are referring to the French medieval heroine Joan of Arc, but then again medieval people weren't concerned with consistency of spelling, not even their own names (consider how many ways Wm. Shakespeare and Ann Boleyn signed documents).

Think of "Jean" as in "Jean Shrimpton".

[s020015]

@P0weredByPie I totally agree what you said, but, we are living in a modern society.

P.S. I concern about spellings.

[Ingestedbanjo]

I got scared.

I'm watching this from guildford :O

[Paboll]

Sir Ian McKellen among the judges

[blagorodna90]

Why there is not a better actor in the world than Eric Idle?

[SirKitsune08]

STREWTH

[dharmaseed]

Hello again, and velcome to tha show. Toonight, vee continue to look at some famous detts. Toonight, vee staht wit de vunderful dett of Gengees Kann, conkerah of India, Take it avay, Gengis

[AxelXI]

S'TRUTH!

[quizmaster85]

"Kiss me, Hardyyyyyyyyyyyyyy..." UUUMFHF!

[lastswordfighter]

All I can say the 60 people that dislike better have a legitimate reason for not liking this video. If they are all trolls and haters then can go to hell.

[CptEdwards]

there are 60 idiots in the world

[Tabascofanatikerin]

I can remember me drawing a picture of that guy who dies after shouting "Strewth!" - in Kindergarten age!

Yes, it's wonderful to have a dad who's a big Python fan :D

And this is the first sketch in the first episode - Monty Python wasted no time being awesome :)

[OeditpusRex]

@Tabascofanatikerin It was apparently supposed to be the first sketch in the *second* episode. The second episode that was aired, "Sex and Violence," was the first one recorded. This one, "Whither Canada?" was recorded after that. Go figure.

[pinkxjellybean]

@Tabascofanatikerin amen to that. my dad's lullaby to me was the lumberjack song.

[joshaf26]

The reason the first episode didn't get at much laughter as the rest is because of the strange audience. That stock video of old ladies clapping? That's from the audience during this episode.

[seaneybhoy1888]

Strewth!!

[hydra1100]

im surprised rasputin isnt on the list

[dacrlit]

Strewth

[NatPJ1]

And now for something completely different.

[Norguy77]

Djengis Khan the conqueror of India, lol (i said lol becouse he didn't take india!)

[sw809mmsw]

Well that's quite enough of that, now for something completely different, King Charles II does Alexander the Great at Rotting Dean...blimie mate.

[tapeduk]

"Thank You Eddie"

[ledhalengirl24]

That smile..you can't help but smile too ha ha!

[StaraziaSelin66]

i have a request! stop uploading this. there is a box set.

[Blickity413]

@StaraziaSelin66 Why would anyone stop uploading it just because there is a box set?  Monty Python VHS box sets existed before youtube and the main public internet, so that is pretty terrible reasoning.

[RabbitInferno]

ENCYCLOPEDIA SALESMAN!

[Karlfalcon]

STREUTH!

[pearlearring17]

[MikeJF355]

Thanks for these. As a young lad growing up in Walton we used to regularly see the Python series being filmed.

[basherofnoggins]

You lucky bastard! You Lucky, Jammy Bastard!

[AnimeFanatic5602]

Envy does not begin to describe my feelings. Congratulations to you, sir.

[tregnier279]

KISS ME HARDY!

I lol'd hard.

[waaromeenusername]

@tregnier279 I pissed myself at that one :')

[deltaiotagamma]

Kiss me Hardyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

[F2L4Life]

Strewth!

[DavidMJordan]

'Strewth is a very old contraction of the phrase 'God's truth'. It was considered blasphemous and therefore shortened.

[contempgirl]

they said who conquered india.

[ThoriaBladecadas]

Yep, but Mozart said "conqueror of India" not "Ghenghis Khan OF India"

[pianopera]

Mozart is playing his Eine kleine Gigue G-dur KV 574...bravo Wolferl!

[slytherinsheirx]

Ah Guildford. It's not far away from me at all ;)

[slytherinsheirx]

It's amazing how they managed all of it with the budget they were on. They really did so well. Hilarious!

[EdTheGringo]

the first sketch of the flying circus isnt it ?

[TheGreenDanger]

it is! :)

[SuperBrofulify]

great

[curea229]

Hah! Hadn't seen this one before.

[mrlandby]

They are all people who died violent and notable deaths.

[givebeesachance]

Ghengis Khan drank himself to death.

[karoloandria]

nothing makes any sesne!!

[WolfmanAWS]

Kiss me Hardyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

Classic.

[Carrionite]

ian mckellen?!

[Jemmer1000]

One of the evergreen bucket-kickers.

[jlim2397]

Edward VII died on the toilet, hence the joke here

[0g0dn0]

@jlim2397 Well, so did Elvis. And Jim Morrison bought it in the bath, just like Marat.

[DerrickthePinecone]

@jlim2397 I thought he died of pnuemonia? 

[TheBuffaloBob]

@jlim2397 More specifically, he died when someone shoved a red-hot poker up his ass while he was on the toilet. He was gay, so I guess they thought it was ironic :p

[toparry10662009]

fuck off you insensitive idiot

[FrenchFriedPotato]

2:30 xD

[AgentCROCODILE]

Strewth!

[organman42]

Pierre Curie should have been on that show

[mrbutternice]

lol the funniest thing ever created was made in '69 lol

[AntonRieper2]

No it wasn't.

[HidetoraHikimonji]

I wish youtube disable comments once for all.

In every single video there's always someone that argues about stuff that isn't related to the damn video.

What the hell is with that Gengis Khan discussion???

Damn people,enjoy the goddamn Pythons and shut up....

Ps sorry 'bout my bad english...

[MilesB1975]

That's not an argument that's just contradiction...

[HidetoraHikimonji]

No it isn't!

[MilesB1975]

Ding!

[Alkenui]

Good Night!

[WestbamVVVV]

Yes it is... here, even you are doing it...

[Nadiixx3]

Technically...Genghis Khan is related to the video...sooo, the discussion on Genghis is legitimate.

[LeppKingGathbertI]

timtam your grandpappy or somethin? chill out dude.

[1Sargon0]

Also, I realize that this is Monty Python we're talking about, but this skit was WAY off if they presumed Genghis Khan conquered India; he stuck to the northern steppes of Asia, HUNDREDS of miles away.

Alright, I'm done....for now.

[Tareltonlives]

Well, they have Beethoven as the host, so it's best not to care.

[1Sargon0]

TANGONIA, what have you been smoking? "Khan" is the Mongolian word for leader, while Genghis refers to "universal" or "all-encompassing". To use the former word without the latter would make absolutely no sense, particularly since his real name was Temujin, and Genghis Kan merely his official title amongst the tribes, who were lead by their own khans.

[QCIC56]

"Khan" actually translates to "ruler of all within the seas".

[zydar]

Kiss me Hardyyyyyyyyy....!! hahahaha

[Flickerfly]

These men make history class an absolute blast :)

[rodstartube]

wtf

[IQ40000]

was that guy really playing Mozart's Gigue in G major K574 in the beginning? They should have used to a fortepiano to make it look more "Mozartian" and "classical".

[hekanealiloa]

im so confused. i loved monty oython and the holy grail but i dont get whats going on here

[Rashoni]

exactly lol

[MondoBeno]

Not funny.

[alexabar]

how the hell would anyone find this funny. if humor could be stretched, you'd be guilty of its torture.

[clarinetchum]

I have a request !!!!!! EVERYTHING!!!

[DavidMJordan]

Eric Idle is imitating Eddie Waring, a Rugby commentator. His catch-phrase was 'He's off for an early shower' when a man had been sent off, hence the reference to the shower.

[AngelGirlBeethoven]

His "Austrian" accent is a mixture between Irish and Russian. But it's still amusing.

[66richardson]

That's the weirdest Irish accent I've ever heard!

[Gatholian]

cuz it's and englishman doing a bavarian doing an irishman.

[66richardson]

OK then

[micahgee]

=))

[crazycat58]

"Kiss me hardy!!!!!!"

[delirium11]

thank you so much for uploading it!

[MilesB1975]

My neepuls explode weef delight!

[Nachtmarchen]

That's hardly an Austrian accent, it's more like a mix between Hungarian and Pakistani, lol.

[smaakjeks]

"That's hardly an Austrian accent, it's more like a mix between Hungarian and Pakistani, lol. "

So you're making note of lack of realism in a program that has people squashing pigs as they sit on them? :D

[Nachtmarchen]

Such meticulous attention to detail makes the surreal bits all the more disturbing/hilarious, from my experience.

[TANGONIA]

Quit arguing about how his name is spelled, there are dozens of variations and almost all are acceptable, one thing that should be noted, however, is that it's Genghis khan, not Genghis Khan, khan is a title not a name and so it does not need a capital. Also Genghis's exact reason of death is very disputed and there are no real generally accepted theories about the time and place of it. The clip was still awesome though.

[TheFriendlyGod]

I don't know, we capitalize titles usually in English. We don't talk about king Richard the lion-hearted, we talk about King Richard the Lion-Hearted.

[TANGONIA]

Genghis actually disliked being called "Genghis khan" so much that he made it an unwritten rule that his men should just call him Genghis. Had this not been so then "khan" probably would have stuck with his name alot more and so because it was always attached it probably would be capitalized. However, because it was dropped so much by important figures like Marco Polo, when it was added it's likely that people thought that it was minor so it was left uncapitalized. That's my theory atleast.
