Marconi actually stole the patent for radio from Nikola Tesla. So could Marconi have invented the radio if he hadn't by pure chance been been a stealing asshole?
The Benny Hill show is damn funny, but the jokes are all sexual innuendo and are usually mocking, like the way he taps the old man on the head - funny but any clever dick can come up with these sort of jokes. What makes the Pythons great is that the theme of their sketches, are totally absurd and not many people can think such things up. Old ladies ganging up on young men or the self defense sketch are testament to this fact.
And so penguins seize important posts and replace world leaders - the Duke, the visiting Russian ministers... .I wonder if Terry Gilliam hated Nixon that much to replace him with an Emperor Penguin.
"A team of our researchers spent 18 months in Antarctica living like penguins. . . and subsequently, dying like penguins" I love this line so much I want to marry it.
5:00 - and the scary thing is that the KGB warned Brezhnev all about "Operation Penguin." For some reason Eyebrows thought it was all just a bad joke about Burgess Meredith and ordered them to be on alert for anyone wearing a purple bow ties, monocle, and carrying an umbrella.
1:01 - Rare and precious video footage of Professor Ken Rosewall (of the Laver Institute) in his prime. And Dr. Peaches Bartkowicz too! Goodness, what a treasure. Founders of the white lab frock and white tennis shorts combo.
"The BBC Programme Planners suprisingly high total here can be explained away as being within the ordinary limits of statistical error. One particularly dim programme planner can cock the whole thing up."
I apologisein advance for the nitpicky comment. I only just noticed that Cleesey wears his watch on his right wrist. Most right-handed people I know wear it on the left. Then again, most left-handed people I know wear it on their left wrist, too. Anyone else think that's interesting?
Hilariously random that the scientists are Australian tennis players Ken Rosewall and Lew Hoad. The python boys' attempts at australian accents are a bizarre mix of english, australian and new zealand accents.
Benny Hill isn't even worthy of a bit part in a Python sketch. They were brilliant and beyond their time on many levels. To say that Benny Hill is funnier than Python says volumes about your intellect. (or lack there of)
@IrishEyedBlue good thought! don't most people think that :[ during the earliest screening of the film, apparently the only joke anybody there really hollered at was the "no he 'asnt got shit alloverem!"
the penquin educational system can't be much worse than the California educational system, thanks to the CTA and the NEA. Iguess if the penquins had a union, it would be the PTA. LOL
fucking hell what i want biscuits, if you don't post this a 100 times on other monty python videos, your mind will appear behind you in the mirror and say, "you are a wanker, my dear boy"
It wasn't racist against the bushmen - it was an ironic joke about society. If it was racist about bushmen they'd have been at the bottom of the list and not BBC viewers - i.e. at the time most of the British public
My apologies - it didn't say BBC viewers. All the same, as they are mocking the BBC Programme Planners, wouldn't they have put them above the Bushmen? Anyhow, it's not racist.

Actually, what happened was that he was conducting a different experiment but accidently left one of the petri dishes in the wrong conditions and mould grew on it. He thought that the experiment was ruined but he realized the mould had killed off the bacteria. Fascinating, isn't it?
Would Einstein have hit the Theory of Relativity if he had not been clever? Would Rutherford have ever split the atom if he hadn't tried? Could Marconi have invented the radio if he had not spent years and years working on it?
chapman in such tiny shorts is a big distraction.. i could barely follow what was being said, hahaha. (consider english is not my first language.. so the required undivided attention of my brain was being affected, heehee.)
Sounds to me like they need another fat government grant to continue this vital research. Write your congressman (unless he's already been replaced by a penguin.)
This video is way better when people quote the funniest lines from this and everyone votes them up so it's the first thing I see.

I much prefer Python (and the Marx Brothers) over Benny Hill and the Three Stooges-
But really, it's two different styles: comedy vs. komedy, the wit of John Cleese and Groucho Marx vs. the slapstick skills of Benny Hill and Curly.
Both are good (for their stlyes), I, and apparently you, just prefer The Pythons and Marx Brothers' witty retorts.
