salad days

[taseba]

Anyone for tennis?

[itjustfigures]

I always seize up when the one gal says, "It's so, you know, sunny!" in a haughty brit accent and embellishes it with a swirly flourish of her skirt, right before the carnage starts. Not sure why it cracks me up so bad but it does.

[AlantheOttoman]

He should have mentioned The Good, the Bad and the Limburger among the Cheese Westerns.

[pansatyrson]

I first saw this sketch when I was 9. Fucked me up for life.

[TheAltair4]

lol. Whenever i watch this hilarious sketch i'm always reminded of Dead Alive a.k.a. Braindead.

[imperatorcaesar100]

one of the gross out parts of Monty python's flying circus.

[mowriter]

The BBC would like to apologize for that last apology...

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

@Tennisers Definitely the Genesis of Happy Tree Friends, especially because both these characters and the HTF meet their makers from horrible accidents, rather than acts of actual malice. AND STOP SNIFFING!!!

[milesdavisistheman]

My favorite Monty Python Sketch.It's so hilarious and messed up at the same time.

[ysbaddaden2003]

And of course Graham Chapman got the big one...

[mrpink188]

Why did they skip the best part! "I say what a simply super day!"

[SafeAzFuck]

Love it when John Cleese is looking at his severed hands hes not in pain he just looks dissapointed LMAO

[Bizarronumber4]

Yet another classic Python sketch!!!!!

[goodbyelonglive44]

@Bizarronumber4 "I say..what fun"...

[TheBiomorph493]

For a Monty python sketch this is just f**k up.

[vigo894]

@TheBiomorph493= You're not the only one who thinks that. They should put what followed this sketch up. They put up a disclaimer which is supposed to be an apology from the BBC. It mentions that the Pythons all come from broken homes, and have unhappy personal lives, especially Eric. That completes Salad Days. Too bad I don't have it. I would put it up myself.

[LesSilence02]

Philip Jenkinson getting gunnned down in slow motion from several angles definitely feels like Peckinpah.

[eaglesfan226]

1:30 Ah, ya big baby! All you had to do was THINK FAST!

[Tennisers]

happy tree friends much?

[DennisGW10]

My all time favorite Python sketch...

[Jonstern1983]

LOL

[cecinid]

Pretty strong MEAT there!

[xwexarexbulletsx]

What will Tarantino do without geniuses like these?? Ahhh Pythons...

[cellogirlMJfan]

The BBC would like to apologize to everyone in the world for that last item. It was disgusting and bad and thoroughly disobedient and please don't bother to phone up because we know it was very tasteless, but they didn't mean it and they all come from broken homes and have very unhappy personal lives, especially Eric. Really they're good people underneath and very warm in the traditional show business way and please don't write in either because the BBC is going through an unhappy phase at the m

[cellogirlMJfan]

(continued from below) oment what with it's father dying and the morgage and BBC 2 going out with men.

[exeggcuter]

I love the picture of the cops behind the guy's desk!

[MissKattyWren]

Did anyone notice John Cleese's wrists before his hands came off?

[quad1000]

WAY ahead of its time.

[Ballad512]

'How will I play now?' 1:58

[SuzQ2]

i love how john cleese just looks so perplexed at his wrists gushing blood.

[cl0vvntiem]

"The Cheese Who Shot Liberty Valance". Ahh, Python.

[fob1012er]

This is really funny.

[EdTheGringo]

Why is this edited at 1:20?

[pradtheprophet]

the shooting in the end was the best... "Pretty strong meat there from (sniff) sam peckinpaahh!" .... gets shot!! ...hahahha

[clarinetchum]

He could have stopped sniffing but NO no one ever listens to subtitles!!!!!!

[ealaspada]

Absolutely one of my favorite Monty Python skits ever! Thanks for posting!

It's edited a bit isn't it? Doesn't he talk about "John Wayne's newest movie "Buckets of Blood Coming Out of People's Heads" at some point?

[Tehmoth4]

different sketch

[ealaspada]

Ooops. I stand corrected.

[egapnala65]

Yes, it's the "French Subtitled Film Sketch".

[hottie4emonsocer]

i think thats a diff one

[FatherOfTears]

My introduction to Monty Python. WAY back in the mid 70's my parents turned on a PBS station and THIS came on! LOL!!!!

[welshuser]

Is that film critic a piss-take of anyone in particular?

[PoorMansTomPetty]

Philip Jenkinson, he used to do a series called Film Night in the 1970s. He can also be glimpsed in Morecambe and Wise's 'There Is Nothing Like A Dame' number and did a cameo in Eric Idle's 1975 series Rutland Weekend Television.

[welshuser]

Thanks for that! I'm familiar with the "There Is Nothing Like A Dame" number, but i've never seen Rutland Weekend Television.

Is Eric Idle's impersonation accurate?

[PoorMansTomPetty]

Jenkinson was a bit fatter but yes, it is accurate. Years ago, I saw a clip of Eric Idle and Barry Norman sitting side by side saying their lines in perfect unison, love to know what that was from!

[welshuser]

I've seen that clip on here! It was from Film... 70 something, I believe. Don't know why Idle was on there, though. I guess he was plugging a film he was in.

[bigsmoke909]

truthful and sexually arousing portayal of violence in its darkest form?!?!?!

WTF???

[PoorMansTomPetty]

Just a dig at pretentious critic-speak. Probably also a swipe at the way Peckinpah, in Straw Dogs, made (in the words of George Melly) "the cock interchangeable with the gun". In other words, the thugs raped Susan George, so Dustin Hoffman shot the thugs. Or am I reading too much into this?

[jkoff76]

I wonder if Sam Peckinpagh, if he did, he probably just laughed his but up, and then went back to drinking!! LOL

[Stephie2007]

someone shot eric! that's funny!

[GrahamChapman]

"I say, Lionel, catch!", and mayhem ensued. :D

[bigsmoke909]

whoops sorry chapman i meant to give ur comment a thumbs up but i failed

[GrahamChapman]

No prob, I can give you a thumbs up to make up for it, old horse. ^_^

[BethGoth15]

It looked very fun to film, I must say!

[xesnoteleks]

Best Monty Python sketch!

[farcett12]

lol when the guy has his arm chopped off you can totally see that his arm is just inside his shirt!! haha

Blimey this is funny!

[BasilBoom]

[derBene]

THAT was unexpected xD

[lucyinthesky64]

[dorekatja]

[GaminattheBarricades]
