Monty Python - Historical Impersonations

[mlrichardson84]

That should read "weird," not "word."

[mlrichardson84]

Is it word that I find Michael Palin impersonating Cardinal Richelieu impersonating Petula Clark incredibly hot?

[flamestarted173]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! A mime is a terrible thing to waste!

[bscottb8]

I'd like to see Oliver Cromwell's impersonation of Queen Elizabeth II.

[MowgliX]

This is much too silly.

[pcvideogamer]

I want to see Wayne Rooneys impersonation of Bruce Forsyth!

[Borderus]

@FireThunderStorm That would be brilliant, but Richelieu was French, so :(

[Warrior1984100]

I want to see Sokka of the Water Tribe sing Rod Stewart's Downtown Train. OH!

[ubernetworkgeek2]

I heard "16 stone" in this video? Possible Bush reference?????!??!?

[TheSeabass31]

oohh baby

[FireThunderStorm]

"Wow, I didn't expect to see the Spanish inquisition dressed up like Petula Clark!"

"NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!"

[OeditpusRex]

I would like to see... Tommy Chong's... impersonation... of... Neville Chamberlain.

"Hey, wow, man! Peace in our time! Far out!"

[TheCastellan]

I want to see Robocop sing the theme song from Annie. XD

[darkestnight128]

[FuckWorkdays]

Ivan the terrible was before USSR. It was still Russia when he ruled.

[slitor]

@FuckWorkdays Quite clearly wrong, this was aired in the seventies.

[FuckWorkdays]

@slitor yes, when this was aired in 1970, it was the USSR. What I was trying to say, is that Ivan the Terrible ruled in the 16th century, when the country was still named Russia. The USSR existed from 1917 to 1991.

[slitor]

@FuckWorkdays Can't be...you can see him quite clearly as an sales assistant at Friedman, Hardly & Wellis.

You think that establishment was around in the 16th century?

What's wrong with you?

[FuckWorkdays]

@slitor "Freeman, Hardy and Willis", and no, that was created in 1875. Could still be before the USSR.

[slitor]

@FuckWorkdays OH! OH OH!

So now it can be 1875! But not 1970(which is where it took place).

NOW! Its ok to change the century as long as it suitsYOUR Neo-bourgeoisie narrative of historical figure's depicted in sketches.

YOU MAKE ME SICK!

[FuckWorkdays]

@slitor Well, then I'm sorry for the inconvenience.It was not my intention to give other people ailment, I just wanted to get some information out there about Russia and the USSR.

[slitor]

@FuckWorkdays Oh la di da!

Mr. "The USSR wasnt around in the 16th century".

[itachi3512]

Three people don't want to hear two bricks being bashed together.

[mcog2006]

How about Leonidas impersonate John Wayne.

[blorpinino999]

@mcog2006 Leonidas couldn't clean up after John Wayne's horse.

[xiahoupaul19]

[bramlegend]

@xiahoupaul19  I think we all know what you meant...

[XWiseXGuy]

1:48

Is that the head of God from the Holy Grail?

[DidaDragan]

@XWiseXGuy

Yes you're right, the MP team thought "God" would probably look like the cricketer WG Grace and used his face

[blindthrall]

Joseph Stalin impersonating Glenn Beck.

Ivan the Terrible was fucking classic.

[jimacht8]

[Ropieroo]

I'd like to see Jimmy Stewart impersonate the major general from Pirates of Penzance.

[xiahoupaul19]

I like to see Obama impersonate someone who can actually do something for this country

[gbindahouse94]

@xiahoupaul19 The United Kingdom? Sure, I'd love to see him make a cup of tea! :D

[tnb35]

@xiahoupaul19 great Britain? why would Obama care about great Britain. why would Obama want to do something for great Britain?

[olstar18]

That mime was awesome. He actually made it look like he was hit with a 16 ton weight.

[traceurofitaly21]

ivan the terrible had me literally rolling the first time i saw it on t.v XD

[MontyPython246]

I want to see Ozzy Osbourne impersonate Lady GaGa. Or Justin Bieber impersonate a block of wood.

[schutzenhaus]

More like he got a 16-ton weight up the arse.

[615Deathdealer]

Lets see Jesus do Marylin Manson. :)

[Maphysto]

Julius Caesar: A smile, a conquest, and a dagger up yer strap.

[douro20]

The R-101 airship crashed over France during its first overseas voyage.

[MasterAccount]

I want to see George Washington impersonate William Shatner.

[AClDREFLEX]

This should be Histerical Impersonations.

[UncleBaldy4427]

Michael's lovely smile really distracts from the humor. Or maybe it's just that sparkly purple shirt.

[1RadicalOne]

The dummy that gets cut at 1:40 looks familiar....

[cameleopard42]

U.S.S. of R. Would that be the Union Soviet Socialist of Republics?

[Lothlorien16]

the first one is the best

[HomelyCooking]

How about St Thomas Aquinas' impersonation of John Belushi in Animal House?

[Raidmasterprod]

You guys won't believe this but when I first heard :47 a few years ago, I thought he was singing "Oh, don't sleep in the sub with Dopey." LMAO!

[done10for]

LOL Napoleon's was the BEST!!

R-101 disaster...lol

[Stephie2007]

[Novazi74]

Cardinal Richelieu's impersonation of Petula Clark cracks me up!

I think Mr. The Terrible wins

...most ambitious attempt indeed!

[1animegurl1]

0:46

xD I was cracking up at his impersonation of Petula Clark, I was caught a bit off guard because I love the song "Don't sleep in the subway"

[rainbowsandwar]

Everytime I see Richelieu I have to crack up; in this sketch and the other court sketch he's in. I can't watch those sketches at night, because I'd probably wake up the whole neighborhood and surrounding areas from laughing so hard.

[lastswordfighter]

@rainbowsandwar In all honesty if you ever saw a priest dressed in pink singing like a impersonating a female singer in real you'd probably laugh too.

[happyprincess456]

Michael Palin plays the best host ever

[LemmingoftheBDA2]

@happyprincess456

That he does,one ofa kind

[6020e3]

@happyprincess456 also gumby

[Wurcker]

the r101 was a british airship that crashed on its maiden overseas voyage in 1930 killing 48.

[Tareltonlives]

The Richelieu as Petula Clarke bit was pure genius.

What's the R 101 disaster? I thought it was hilarious but I don't get the reference.

[skidawg22]

"I'd like to see John the Baptist's impersonation of Graham Hill." Now, that's funny.

[hellshade2]

the ole 16 ton weight. classic stuff :)
