Monty Python - Working-Class Playwright

[ButterflyDragon9]

Ahead of their time, who would have known life would imitate art in the years to follow? LOL

[DarkRubberDucky]

Monty Python knew how to turn things around on you. Admit it, you thought their careers were opposite! "you had to go poncing off to Barnsley!"

[yogbert]

Have you got the life boat sketch?

"it's no good you'll have to eat me!"

"eer with a gammy leg?!!"

[seriesscratch]

This was a parody of the movie "Sons & Lovers" starring Dean Stockwell as the son--it was made in 1960. They used to show it when I was a kid on the classic movie channel. I had the biggest crush on Stockwell, so when I first saw this sketch on PBS at around the same time, I thought it was a hoot! And it's still a riot!

"TUNGSTEN CARBIDE DRILLS!?!" - awesome :D

[DarkRubberDucky]

This is one of my FAVORITE skits. This was priceless! "I've had more gala luncheons than your had hot meals!"

[EmmaXSkellington]

Very funny sketch. I especially liked the Barnsley bit, I'm from there. XD

[Maphysto]

Oh Ken, be careful! You know what he's like after a few novels!

[kevinoldman]

pure genius.

terry jones reminds me of gordon brown too. i think its the dress.

[dharmaseed]

Hampstead wasn't good enough fer ya, was it? Ya had ta go poncin' of to Barnsley!!

[porterb100]

A wonderful inversion of the british class system! Sheer Python brilliance!

[Pliskin37]

"There's more to life than culture!"

Possibly my favorite python sketch.

[slimline147]

D H Lawrence  came from Eastwood in Nottinghamshire, lad

[MrPie455]

Get out you laborer!!

ha, this sketch is awesome

[LIONEL1033]

They've terned bloody DH Lawrence on it's 'ed--woonderful...nowt wrong wi' gala loonceheons...joost loovely.

[dave05222]

Wasn't DH Lawrence a Nottinghamshire lad? Thought this was a parody of the northern kitchen sink writers of the 50s but could be wrong.....What the booldy'ells a tungsten carbide drill.....masterpiece..! .

[LIONEL1033]

Yes, he was. But if you check Sons and Lovers you'll get my meaning.

[jkoff76]

This is one of my all time comedic bits!!

[moylesy92]

Yehhhhh Tit!

[NGS712]

I wish I had a script of this sketch. ;)

THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH GALA LUNCHEONS LAD!

[Laight4work]

there are some scripts of this sketch online . . just google "working class playwright" . it is a masterpiece . . no doubt

[NGS712]

Laight: No doubt indeed. "It could express a vital theme of our age." ;)

[DarkRubberDucky]

@NGS712 Type in "Just the Words" into google. It'll quote every Monty python skit.

[NGS712]

I wish I had a script of this sketch. ;)

THERE'S NOTHIN' WRONG WITH GALA LUNCHEONS LAD!

[NimbleFinga]

whey aye man goerdie man!

WORKIN' CLASS RULES!!!

[PuissantAlgernon]

That's not Georgie, that's Yorkshire, surely.

[Picnic10]

rather it would seem relatively alien or they would be envious. It is my favourite of their sketches (although Four Yorkshiremen is great too).

[fredboot]

By ek that were bloody champion.

[Picnic10]

The argument clinic and the philosopher football match are great too.

[Picnic10]

This Python sketch is very under-rated, I suspect because the concept, despite being such a neat role reversal that hits the nail on the head, is actually very subtly done- after all, the playwright father who mingles with film stars is still dressed like a labourer whereas the labourer is dressed in more middle class clothing. I also suspect that, although most people could laugh at 'upper class twits', people who mingled with film stars were not something they would laugh at-

[emerce17]

toongsten carbide drills!?

[vetery1]

I can clearly see reversing in that scetch. In the real life mid-class fathers used to work as coalminers and sons wanted to become actors. If Monty Python's comedy had was a painting, it would had been painted by Picaso.

[Sovvolf]

a seh dont bi rippin barnsley a wa bon thear an al die thear

[sexymike1253]

"There is NOTHING wrong with gala luncheons!"

"Poncing off to Barnsley" xD

[pockypurse]

[lucynaribola]

The three of them are just perfect in this one!

[PeteBKay]

Perfect. Absolutely perfect...

[ElizabethR1558]

How did these guys not laugh all the way through their sketches?

[7spqr7]

first-rate comic delivery

[uttini]

yeeeeerrrr TIT!!!

It's his writer's cramp!!!!

HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT...why are they so good?!?!

[kendhall]

One of their very best - a brilliant parody of Sons and Lovers - "poncin' off to Barnsley with your coal-minin' friends"! Hilarious!

[chivatito14]

"Poncing off to Barnsley"...all-time classic!!

[FeliciaZezili]

"One day you'll realise there's more to life then culture! There's dirt and smoke!"

I love this sketch :)

[waterloosunset12]

My favourite sketch <3

[cockalingo]

"tungsten carbide drill!!!" -a classic!

[NicolaChristine]
