This is more than the usually nonsense Monty Python tends to produce and I wonder if folk could endure a whole full length movie made in this fashion.
My favourite scene in the history of ever. I crack up every single time right around the "Fish, a-fish, a-fish, a-fishy OOOH!" mark.
Although one thing I've never been able to figure out is how they got Terry's arms to look so long with his hands still at the end of them. It frustrates my brain!
I'm sure most of you know this already, but in case you didn't, Terry Gilliam had said that this scene was to represent the strange and weird dreams that people have. :)
The first time I saw this movie and also the first time I saw The Holy Grail was also some of the first times I ever smoked pot. Amazing experiences right there.
My sister and cousins and I always thought the long arms guy was the funniest thing ever when we were kids. We still reference this sketch all the time. It actually makes the rest of Monty Python look...coherent.
Not to be dissin' a brother for puttin' up one of the funniest routines EVER done! BUT, if you'd like to see and hear it in HIGH QUALITY (you can even hear the people in the surround trax yelling), watch my version on DIRKWORKS. thanks for posting this. I just thought some of these folks might enjoy the "whole" clip with audio.
Honestly, go to your local videoshop and buy it. It's as good as The holy grail and Life of brian, it's just a bit more like a lot of sketches linked together, just like the flyng circus! :)
its not hard to find! admitedly where i live only me and my m8s have seen it and they have only seen it becuase of me but still its in most dvd stores like HMV and stuff
Monty python is a comedic genius. This is the funniest part of the movie, but I don't get it. How does someone make a joke you don't understand funny?
And it went. . . Where ever I. . . Did go!
