Monty Python - The Dull Life of a City Stockbroker

[kenniaification]

I like how everyone is hung up on the boobs and not Graham in a speedo. That's definitely where I paused.

[Minatoleekrinaze]

....Th-....There's a place on earth... Where breasts aren't that taboo?

.....

Fuck this craphole I'm movin'

[gabechrism]

She can him a nipple in change... I mean a nickel....

[Hellonagol]

I cant see the breasts its all blurred out

[GuitarAndWow]

0:52 thumbs up if u paused :)

[baronvonaqua]

Is wall st any different i wonder. ASIC certainly is not doing its job to protect mum and dad investors and super balances. WHY are WE paying ASIC?

[skuxtaman]

why does it have to be 240p I can't see them very well....

[MrRudyjj]

I've been a Python fan for a long time, but it was on BBC2 most of the time ,wasn't it? So it was never 'mainstream' TV comedy here - Just in case anyone thought MP was our most popular comedy with the great unwashed.

[alternativebassist]

wait why does he need to take a bus and a taxi?

[ninjawhale03]

@alternativebassist because the bus didn't take him far enough

[Corinshamefull]

Anyone else notice no ones driving the cab at 2:20

[CuckooNow]

@Corinshamefull That's the joke.

[zephyrboy96]

tits on youtube?



[Salguine]

Am I the only one who thinks that "Aaaarrrghh" Graham Chapman makes when he gets hit with the spear is fucking hilarious? 

[gietek]

@Salguine yes it is! and the facial expression too

[organs]

Were those Connie Booth's legs? Either way, good god, those are some sexy legs! And panty shot, too!

[gamegenie42]

0:58 my GOD there there bbbbbbbbbbbOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBB­BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[Procket12]

Of Course she's nude! It's the BBC, that stuff still wouldn't get past the censors here in America. The Brits are a lot less prudish and puritanical than us Americans.

[HylianPirate278]

@Procket12

We're probably more over reacting to the fact that it got past the youtube radar.

[DirtyMosha]

@Procket12 aren't yet the british are more often portrayed as prudish on most tv shows and films -.-

[jackpontiac52]

@Procket12 Monty Python was aired on CBC (Canada) and they would show tits now and again, This was in the Late 60's

[StrangerForever85]

HOLY @#$%!!!!! I think that lady was nude!!!!!

[ThaddeusRobe]

How did Graham Chapman get from inside the fridge to outside and dressed that quickly?

[boytiger3]

40 pages of comments and only ONE comment about the girl at the end?

I agree with you, @zephranna01.

Those legs, man... those legs.

If anyone knows who it is, I'm interested.

[ballroomwrecker]

@boytiger3 it could be Carol Cleveland 

[HeirofAzaran]

@ballroomwrecker You were looking at her FACE??

[boytiger3]

@ballroomwrecker Saw comments talking about the girl being a friend of the director. Carol Cleveland is credited as another role too. It's not her.

[brainmachine04]

@boytiger3 Did you read 40 pages of comments?

[boytiger3]

@brainmachine04 Skimmed through, focusing on words like "legs", "girl", "hot", "end". I doubt I missed another comment.

[RD19902010]

@boytiger3 i guess its carol cleveland....

[celtno1]

@RD19902010 That aint Carol Cleveland, you blind?

[RD19902010]

@celtno1 aha....you know her legs that well?!

[celtno1]

@RD19902010 Course i do, i studied them alot in my younger days..lol

[Anicy99]

men of the world go to 57 second for a great shopkeeper

[9753iceclaw]

@DdlyHeadshot well looking at when this video was put up.... i think a few more years

[DdlyHeadshot]

Alright, place your bets: How long 'til this gets flagged for nudity?

[aoeuuiaiui]

@DdlyHeadshot The video's been up for 5 years...

[drronnie]

Whats the background music?

[GamerThreeThousand]

"I'm 12 years old and what is this?"

[markmarktarmann]

green rain and slightly disturbed(fundamental flaggers)will burn in hell for unspeakable sins. first of all for censorship, we can't see a comedy routine with breasts, okay, fine, but i have video of both of them doing it to the chickens down the road from where i live. (i was filming some chickens for a...uh..an avant garde film...project...when they came in together dressed in black rubber and started messing about with my dear little....film subjects..i uploaded it, but it got flagged.)

[DarkSunGod]

Reminds me of "Forrest Gump".

[Kalawishis]

Did anybody try reading the dialog in the comic book?

[CCFi99]

They got some surprisingly hot women for this show.

Ahh the dull life of a comedian...

[CapitanoGUC]

what the hell is a city stock broker ???? - the oposit of a country stock broker or what ?????

[archmoonmage]

@CapitanoGUC It's "City" as in "The City of London". In the medieval period, the City was the full extent of London, now it's only a tiny part of the metropolis of London. The United Kingdom's financial services industry has historically been based here. Today it's a major business and financial centre, the bank of England is based there and it's on a par with New York City's Wall Street as a leading centre of global finance.

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

18 got smashed in the head by Frankenstein at the bus stop.

[TheAngelRussie]

17 people are jealous!

[tvc18]

The nude lady didn't offend contemporary broadcasting rules because she's just standing there smiling sweetly, it isn't titillating if you'll excuse the expression. If she'd been jigging up and down going 'how about these then' it would have been impermissible.

[15in1]

0:58 ... Are those ... Breasts ?

[Conway79]

@15in1 Well spotted! You get a gold star. ;-)

[hotrodking]

@Conway79 on youtube tho? i thought they had rules about that stuff haha

that really surprised me haha

[Tyonline777]

@15in1 yeah, i actually don't believe that they have as much censorship on tv in places not in the u.s.

[sargentaaron2004]

@15in1 What do they look like to you?

[15in1]

@sargentaaron2004 My fathers muscles, identically.

[Billionaireben]

@15in1 I was pleasantly surprised they showed this without edits on late night public broadcasting in florida a few years back.

[whatuswattingat]

@15in1 Yep! LOL LOL LOL!

[MrTodd623]

@15in1 Yes. They can be found on either sex, yet the ones you're in question about appear to be the more common female boobs.

[aajoeyjo]

@15in1 Yes, the British aren't squeamish about breasts, god bless them! :o) 

[Sticksandstones32]

@15in1 ...naah, I'ont think so.

[zvermilyer3]

@15in1

Yes, they are. Very nice, aren't they?

[RagtimeFox1]

Anyone know the orchestral piece that they play in this sketch?

[gietek]

@RagtimeFox1 It was from and old radio programme played on every Sunday. Actually there are more pieces that were used by Monty Python. I'll try to find out the titles.

[NivMizzet89]

@RagtimeFox1

Knightsbridge March.

[drronnie]

@RagtimeFox1 Knightsbridge March by Eric Coates

[Gilroysmash86]

love the noise that guy makes after gettin speared

[Zeppelinfaktor]

16 people have jobs that are too exciting

[RainbowManification]

Was that women naked? How was this allowed on TV in the 70s? Why am I even complaining? She was hot, totally tap that

[Zeppelinfaktor]

@RainbowManification See British Censorship Laws

[RainbowManification]

@Zeppelinfaktor Again, not complaining.

[Unguidedone]

I love TITS

[Codymkay1]

16 people have a dull life

[bronxperson1966]

The portion of when you see the panels... where does that music come from!!!  That music is so hysterical!! I've been trying to find out where it comes from, could someone please help me??? email rtjrrt@aol.com :)

[kell1425]

if thats dull i wonder what exciting is

[EpicGamer18]

My god John Clease makes a perfect Frankenstien.

[kyokogodai]

@EpicGamer18 That is actually my favorite part of this sketch (even over the nice pair). The sound Graham makes, as John hits him, always has me rolling on the floor dying laughing.

[sargentaaron2004]

@EpicGamer18 That is Franenstein's Monster. Frankenstein was the name of the scientist who created him.

[joshrochanroolzutoob]

@EpicGamer18 Frankenstein's monster, idiot.

[desigrrl08]

16 people's lives are extremely dull.

[ysbaddaden2003]

And to think that yesterday I asked for turkey breasts.

[Timmo323]

Can't beat Monty Python. Great boobs too

[Masterkavi]

Ah, good to see some British breasts to turn a day right round into a good one.

[Warrior1984100]

This sketch inspired a comic strip I did in an art class in high school, entitled, "The Dull Life of an American High School Student." It has a ton of weird things happening, but the student does not seem to notice them.

[Unguidedone]

I love TITS!!!

[TheAgProv]

Ah. it takes me back.... this was my very first sight of a naked lady on TV, many years ago... we all thought it was Carole Cleveland, but apparently she never got them out on any Python show.

[mateuszmattias]

@TheAgProv; you're right it's not Carol Cleveland; apparently the producer of Flying Circus, Ian MacNaughton (yes that WAS his name) apart from being a brilliant comedy producer was very fond of two things, drinking and strippers, so a few of the girls who appear every now and then are stripper friends of his. (This I heard in an interview with one of the pythons.) The topless lady in this is most likely one of those.

[cartooncoon]

Many in the US first saw Python in the summer of 72 when "Comedyworld", a summer replacement series for Dean Martin (NBC), aired, and they had this and the

Bicycle Repairman sketches. By 74 or so it started airing on public TV stations.

[ctdsnark]

Thumbs up if,before watching this clip,you looked down here first to read any and all comments specifically pertaining to the nude/topless woman.

[frankbooth64]

What kind of scum flags videos for nudity? Do such assholes really exist?

[christhemountain]

This made me horny.

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

This needs to be flagged.

[Natalthpie]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK No it doesn't. 

[roockowacko]

@SlightyDisturbedNBK lol why? what are you 6?

[SlightyDisturbedNBK]

@roockowacko No.

[kn9kmc]

FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS GOD HAS OUT PERFORMED STOCKS ! CHECK OUT SYMBOL GLD

[onda42]

0:56 i wanna go to that store

[Leadamp]

i wish i was a stockbroker

[kinksboss1]

I was about 12 when I saw this on KQED in San Francisco in the mid 70's, other than a possible peek at a Playboy, my first glimpse of a nude woman on film

[EricCartman421]

Boobs....boobs....booooooooooo­bs!!!!! (. )( .) ....forgive me for being a lil imature but you gotta admit that was a suprise =D

[Sylderon]

@EricCartman421 And the strangest thing is that nobody seemed to mind a long look at a pair of plump, succulent breasts, unlike in my country, where sighting a nipple for a quarter second starts a national panic.

[EricCartman421]

@Sylderon Jeeze I know right, where are you from?

[Sylderon]

@EricCartman421 I'm from near Chicago. I'm referring to the Janet Jackson Nipple-caust. Incidentally, I wasn't paying that much attention, since I always use the halftime show as an opportunity to get a snack or take a wee.

[totallytommy]

I was like 10 years old when I first saw this on PBS - and nearly fainted from the sudden rush of blood from one head to the OTHER. It was only like - THE GREATEST MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF MY LIFE!!! (up the that point, anyway)

[KingLashiec]

I wish my life was dull.

[DM4717]

How dreadfully dull

[GreenRain5]

Wait. How is this NOT flagged?

[KillerGuitar007]

@GreenRain5 coz it's monty python. Anyone who flaggs a monty python sketch will have the assasins guild after them :P

[Ekul876]

@KillerGuitar007 Dont forget the Spanish Inquistion! because nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion!

[KillerGuitar007]

@Ekul876 xD

[OeditpusRex]

@KillerGuitar007 Or the Piranha Brothers...

[TheDefiantBadger]

@GreenRain5 Sssshhhh....

[KevinByrne2]

The background music in this sketch is the "Knightsbridge March" by Eric Coates.

[harveydents]

Love the DC captain actino comic!!!

[NivMizzet89]

does the music have a name?

[Luthinya]

Worthy of Samuel Beckett.

[SanguineBullet667]

this is why I'm NEVER going to get married because as an economist, women will only look at my money and nothing else. . . . (just sees boobs in video . . . . sweeeeeeeeet)

[thewoowooster]

There's an ad on the bus saying 'This is a bus'!

[ifureadthisdie]

Just another plain dull day....

yup.

[asgards3]

love monty python very dull

[murielsartre]

Sorry guys, in the Monty Python Autobiography, they say it's a stripper "friend with benefits" (though they don't use that term) of the director Ian McNaughton's.

I can hardly imagine that Carol's husband or Eric Idle would allow their wives to go on television with their baps out, even if they're wearing white-lady-coloured fake molds over the real things.

[OeditpusRex]

@murielsartre Didn't the same woman play the fast-motion stripper in "Eighteenth-Century Social Legislation" in episode 11?

[free0fight]

nudity, violence, and comic books...want more could ya ask for from the Pythons...=)

[Girguru145]

i love how the bus says "this is a bus!" on the back.

[WoodRatGirl]

There wasn't one bit of that sketch where I didn't LOL. Ha ha~!

[crunchem7399]

LOL @ 1:28!

[DrBukcake]

This is exactly my life but without the women.

[jimmothy1215]

Lol

[natorpen]

I saw this on PBS 2 weeks after the infamous "wardrobe malfunction". I laughed and laughed and laughed. Life is good.

[purplehaze1274]

pbs wouldnt air this uncensored anymore though after fcc indecency crusade that followed the wardrobe malfunction.

[natorpen]

@purplehaze1274 Oh I'm sure you're right, but seeing this the same month of that "incident" on public TV was a slice of fried gold!

[Jeorney]

0:53 Eric Idle female impersonation is realistic. He must have man boobs.

[Fritz102]

@Jeorney Actually, that's Carol Cleveland. She wasn't actually a member of the group, but she appeared in the episodes. Same goes for Neil Innes. And don't try proving me wrong. I've seen every episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus twice.

[Jeorney]

@Fritz102 Nah! The topless woman was definitely Eric Idle. He used to impersonate Carol Cleveland when they couldn't get her. The man's a genius but I'm not into idle worship.

[mateuszmattias]

@Fritz102 If you've seen every episode twice you should know very well what Carol Clöeveland looks like and that is not her at all. You're right she was like almost an extra member of the group, but that doesn't mean she was the only woman appearing. (If you don't beleive me check the milkman sketch to the right. Are you suggesting taht's Carol Cleveland too?)

[OeditpusRex]

@Fritz102 Ms. Cleveland is on record as saying she never showed her girl bits in a MPFC episode. She was briefly topless as the man-eating roll-top writing desk chased her in "Scott of the Sahara" (episode 23), but she was running away from the camera.

[drmoogala]

My God you are stupid! Hippie is code for Communist,Environmentalism is code for communism,Change is code for Communism,I never meant that you were around in the 1960's but that you are a brainwashed simpleton,and you have proven me correct with the comment you left on my page.

[ThoriaBladecadas]

Hell are you Joe McCarthy's son or something?! What's with the Communism rant?

[megamarsvin]

Almost makes you wish you could quit your job and become a lion tamer doesn't it?

[invincableabramstank]

or a banker

[KickenItOldSchool]

@megamarsvin but he doesnt qualify

[oldaardvark]

@megamarsvin

Or a lumberjack!!

[Unit403]

@megamarsvin It does... too bad i don't have a job yet....

[SteppLee]

now thats a dull life...

[invincableabramstank]

quite dull, indeed.

[STARTREK74656]

"My God!! His nose just exploded with enough force to destroy his Kleenex! If only I had a Kleenex to lend him... or even a linen handerchief. But these trousers.....!! NO back pocket!!"

[mysticalboxresident]

@STARTREK74656

Yes, I know, I just watched it, funnily enough =P

[waysmarterthanu]

why, that's not dull at all!

[AshLuvsJonnyStew]

john as frankenstein is fuckin hilarious!

[movement26]

No , don't know who the bird was but it was'nt Carol.......she had coconuts not satsuma's.

[blondette00700]

oh my god! when that zombie was killing everyone!! aahh lol the slap on the head that was bloody hilarious!

[vigo894]

I think it was Frankenstein's monster. I wish it was Connie Booth as the topless lady.

[blondette00700]

hahahahahaa hilariosity either way :P

[dharmaseed]

Or Carol Cleveland!!

[vigo894]

Yeah. Anyway, Connie Booth did actually appear nude in a short film she did with John Cleese. It should have been Carol Cleveland.

[dharmaseed]

Yeah, there would be more to see, wouldn't there?

[BrohemianRhapsody]

Graham's dying noises at 0:39 and 1:17 are priceless

[douro20]

Carol Cleveland topless on Youtube?

[lordalessan]

I can't even believe they showed this on national television period! lol

[purplehaze1274]

america has actually moved backwards on the issue of nudity on television.they used to show nudity on pbs and boobs on broadcast television in medical situations.nypd was showing brief nudity in sexual situations on prime time in the 90s.now theyll censor the boobs of artwork late at night on cable. thanks a lot janet jackson.

[DeathSlayer2]

@purplehaze1274

It's fellas at the freakin FCC!

I feel guilty posting a Family Guy quote on a Monty Python video...

[cellogirlMJfan]

@purplehaze1274 i agree.

[tenofivelips]

@purplehaze1274 Absolutely correct. Janet Jackson's Superbowl stunt moved us backwards.

[NuClEaRxGNOME]

@purplehaze1274

The world used to worship the nude, if you were a painter half of the shit you would paint would be tits. Now it is all censored cause some dumb slut didn't want to be known cause of her tits, so now people paint oceans and puppies.

[jerryhello100]

@purplehaze1274 Yeah, that fucking Christian Right.

[DragonGamer9]

boobies were shown making this sketch even better but its still funny as hell. yes i am American but i do appreciate British comedy
