Monty Python - Spanish Inquisition Torture Scene

[19iamnobody83]

Can anyone tell me the name of the painting and or artist of the picture at the beginning of this sketch? CONFESS !!!

[massivive]

@Thespanishinquisition i didnt expect you!

[SamuelATurn]

That was.....unexpected!

[Nitrinoxus]

Did they just pull some lady off the street for this sketch?

...Because that would be hilarious.

[OeditpusRex]

@Nitrinoxus That's Marjorie Wilde, who had some success in TV and on stage in Britain from 1950-1976. Coincidentally, she appeared in the long-running BBC crime drama "Z Cars," as did Bea Duffell, who also played the old crone whom Arthur and Bedevere asked where they could buy a shrubbery in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

[Nitrinoxus]

@OeditpusRex ...The more you know.

[mpSpanishInquisition]

NO ONE EXPECTED THE SPANISH INQUISITION HAD A YOUTUBE ACCOUNT!

[RamonTheMighty]

@mpSpanishInquisition omg lol :DD

[freethoughtmusic]

Who would have thought it at the time that less than ten years after this was taped the Inquisition would be resurrected? Its official new hip name, ... the Church commission on orthodoxy (or something like that) It scares me.

[BDesrose]

@freethoughtmusic Not exactly kidnapping people in the middle of the night though.

[morfeus65]

nobody expects the yellow team

[TravellerFellow]

this skit is VERY applicable to business crime nowadays. the 3 priests are the SEC, the old woman is Citigroup, OR Morgan Stanley, OR GOldman SUx, etcetera.

[Eivyll]

@TravellerFellow

...and suddenly it becomes unfunny.

[BazookaWorm14]

this seems funnier on the record player

[spermen101]

those 45 haters didn't expect the spanish inquisition.



[Skullerina143]

[SherryBarbraho916]

[CitizenKahne1015]

Not the comfy chair! DEAR GOD, ANYTHING BUT THE COMFY CHAIR!! I'd rather listen to Rebecca Black than go in the comfy chair!

[MannnisEi]

I'm pretty sure the old lady isn't even acting, they just caught her from the streets and put in front of the camera's.

[OeditpusRex]

@MannnisEi Nope. See above. 

[TheGamerguy737]

[robaronin]

This sketch kicks ass for one simple reason: it's funny and it's well written. TWO simple reasons: it's funny and it's well written and the actors' timing is perfect. THREE simple reasons......

[WardahTheBlaqQ]

@robaronin

[amped0808]

[crater721]

[IcyScythe]

lol is he wearing a WW1 pilot's mask? rofl

[hppybob]

@IcyScythe Who? Biggles?

[OeditpusRex]

@IcyScythe Sure. He's Cardinal Biggles, after all.

"Biggles" was James Bigglesworth, a dashing aviator in a series of adventure novels that spanned five decades. Python parodied him several times, notably in "Biggles Dictates a Letter" in episode 33. ("Don't call me senõr! I'm not a Spanish person! You must call me Mr Biggles, or Group Captain Biggles, or Mary Biggles if I'm dressed as my wife, but never señor!")

[rashalfarid]

@LibraHorse1 And couldn't stand being chained to the pillar, let alone being molested with the cushions, or be forced to sit on the comft chair...

[sweetcopen]

[danning1]

43 people expected the Spanish Inquisition, and were somehow disappointed. Well, screw them. Monty Python rules!

[piratepeanut1991]

totally battling it out at work to get to sit in a comfy chair today. I think I am totally going to yell this out if I don't get it. (Well, even if I do get it.)

[andypandy474]

If there's one thing Monty Python has taught me, it's to always expect the Spanish Inquisition.

[killerzebra75]

37 people expected the spanish inquisition

[mahavishnuxc]

@killerzebra75 arent paying any fucking attention? nobody expects it.

[ghiblade]

@mahavishnuxc How many Muslims were in Spain? Dang we have a lot of work to do even here in America where they are few here?

[mahavishnuxc]

@ghiblade im american. and during the "reconquista" we basically killed and forced all of the muslims out of spain. then during the spanish inquisition they killed everyone who was not 100% god loving catholic or people who acted "fishy". thousands of people died and i think king ferdinand even brought that to italy and the americas. the spanish also killed many native americans to establish colonies then we killed them if they didnt want to except god. these were dark times.

[mahavishnuxc]

@ghiblade im spanish, and i hope you dont see us as bad people. because were not just different times back then.

[armoredinnerjacket]

@mahavishnuxc It's worse now - a huge free gin and tonic and then 10 euros each for the next 10 !

[KodierungHerz]

@mahavishnuxc I'm acid, and your comment just made me trip balls.

[laviejaseisotorta]

Ironical punishment, taken up to eleven...

[Alexmo555]

At a quiz I went to a few weeks ago, my team had the genious idea of being called "The Spanish Inquisition". We didn't win, but we possibly had the best team name (alongside "The Walking Talking Stephen Hawkings".

Next time we're being "The Dead Parrots", then "Spam Munchers" and then "The Ministry Of Silly Walks". Python peace!
