Monty Python - Mr and Mrs Git

[Tsamsiyu1]

Seeing John Cleese in drag made my day!

[PoisedSilverWolf]

These are the gits :)

[oneworldfamily]

It really did look like Gilliam clocked her one then!

[pagan7419]

I agree with the nun I to prefer the dirty version

[Tsamsiyu1]

@pagan7419 me too!

[FandangoRhapsody]

Man,someone better make that nun getting punched in the face by a boxer into a gif.

[kgraham15]

when he puked in the purse i LOST IT

[tehUBERn00blet]

She's having a disemboweling party?

[Daski69]

whats git?

[Bat0u89]

@Daski69 a despicable person (notorious)

[ballroomwrecker]

@Daski69 Git is mild[1] profanity with origins in British English for a silly, incompetent, stupid, annoying, senile elderly or childish person.[2] It is usually an insult, more severe than twit or idiot but less severe than wanker or arsehole.[1][3][4]

[Soilwar]

now that was a proper "punch"line at the end

[dillonminigun]

actually, punching a nun would be quite politically correct now

[dharmaseed]

'I preferred the dirty version.'

[grahamlaur]

ha love this one, very underrated sketch.

[Nanda91]

Man, John Cleese's laugh at 1:21 is the scariest thing in the whole world. I can't believe there are so few sketchs with him in drag! It's the funniest thing ever

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

hahaha oh god... I can't stop laughing whenever John appears in drag! He doesn't even have to do anything and it's bloody hilarious!

[racookster]

"We've just had the outside painted with warm pus. Yes, it's very nice, actually. Goes nicely with the vomit and catarrh we've had smeared over the front door." LOL! Rarely have I been so filled with the simultaneous urge to laugh and puke.

[OsakaLight]

Rofl, "raising gangsters for fun & profit"

[linapleachimPL]

Graham fucked up his line in the beginning, he was so drunk :P

[JuggaloFloob]

Terry Gillian suckerpunch for the win

[Faledan]

raising gangsters for fun & profit

[fallriver47]

LOVE when Cleese hucks into his purse! Priceless!!!!!

[kenfig]

Terry Gilliam's boxer at the end makes the face of a true maniac ; Legend !!

[stikman74]

When you are done here, take a look and listen to kick ass band The Gits. Mia RIP

[ThePatriot0311]

Yes, Carol Cleveland was hot. Nice bod'!

[necrid86]

Thumbs up if you knew that this skit was how THE GITS chose their name!

[stikman74]

@necrid86 Here, here!

[15h0tmy531f]

Sniveling Little Rat Faced Git

Dreary Fat Boring Old Git

Dirty Lying Little Two-Faced Git

Ghastly Spotty Cross-Eyed Git

Ghastly Spotty Horrible Viscous Little Git

This is just so epic.

[hbkgirl75]

what does he spit out?

[yellowsevenxD]

Terry Gilliam :D

[LeetaMaybe]

is john cleese's 'woman' rubbing michael's back at 2:00?

[flibideegibbit]

Carol Cleveland was such a wonderfully stacked babe.

[SlappieBob]

Sniveling Little Ratfaced GitXD

[joshaf26]

Mmm... warm pus...

[SarahMH7]

LOL the book.... "Raising Gangsters for Fun and Profit"

[Death2celebrity]

Its almost unfair how easily J. Cleese stole that skit

[themindandmusic]

"How do YOU do?" And it's spoken in a bass register!!!

[nklapstein]

0:49 this is a wife XD

[maboleth]

Hahaha!! "How do YOU do" and vomit missile are the highlights!

[UncleBaldy4427]

Graham was trying real hard not to flub it up on the 'clean version'.

[adamford130]

I love when John Cleese casually projectile vomits into his purse and the conversation carries on like nothing happened.

[yacanman11]

does he have a hitler moustache?

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

I love the old ladies in the end, it's a Python classic!

[draussie]

Hahaha that nun getting smacked was classic.

[murielsartre]

@overOOview, it's a mild insult in British slang for a silly, annoying person.

[overOOview]

What exactly is a git? Or am I one for asking?

[Songsinger62]

This is the first time I've seen John Cleese as a woman!

[PrincesTomboy]

the nun's head was hollow at the end, from the sound effect XD

[bitesh]

LOL, I never had noticed how Cleese actually misses the purse when he spits.

one of my all-time favourites XD

[gliderpilot99]

John Cleese is a legend.

[Trentolol]

Lol I love this

[Zeredek]

I prefer the dirty version *punched*

[zeldachix]

Michael: O-oh..How do you do? >.>

John: -flirty voice- How do YOU do?

XDDD

[Vault101Reject]

couldn't get away with punching a nun on TV these days. someone,somehow,would find a way to call it racist.

[Nanorobotic]

@Vault101Reject If Nuns start claiming to be a race other than human then we can have them all committed.

But then they'd team up with the crazy people and get on to us for making fun of crazy people. We just can't win. Some crazy people are funny though.

[MtheGate]

@Vault101Reject Not racist, nunist.

[Hotora86]

@Vault101Reject Punching nuns is where it's at!

[kilmindaro3]

@Vault101Reject

It is settled then. We need more nuns getting punched in the tv.

[kilosnew]

@Vault101Reject I think the word you were looking for was "sexist" ;)

[ariandynas]

@Vault101Reject ... how is it rascist to punch a nun?

[MegaG58tehfirst]

@Vault101Reject Thats the magic of monty python.

[megamarsvin]

It's funny, people used to get offended and whinge on if they felt a comedy sketch insulted their religion or their political views or what have you.

These days people seem to whinge more about perceived "political correctness gone mad" when, if you look at today's television, it's quite obvious that shows get away with much, much more than they did in Monty Python's heyday.

Times change but people will always love a good whinge about non-issues.

[Dawgmeatt]

@megamarsvin Word

[kssykssygg]

Oh my God, when Terry just smashes the nun at the end. Hilarious!

[Mclovinlaurr]

YESSSSSSS!!! JOHN CLEESE<3 oh my god!!

[lotsologan]

john cleese is hilarious!!!!!!! holy crap i almost peed myself when i saw him and he said how do you do.

[LongLiveOx]

Check out the bunt on Cleese!

[Blackmetal9000]

what does a Git mean?

[scout2010]

Basically jerk / idiot.

[Blackmetal9000]

thanks, i understand this sketch clearer now lol

[samooray685]

a british insult.

[rsully17]

Hello meet the Gits.

lol

[SmileyCrossbones]

"raising gangsters for fun and profit" XD

[ArnoArtner]

oh chapman the hero is obviously alcoholised...

[Blackadder125]

John Cleese looks incredibly funny as a woman.

[STARTREK74656]

Sniveling Little Rat faced Git vs Watson. I preferred the dirty version.

[CrashingCrockery]

That glimpse of the Clapping Ladies footage at the end - I can't seem to find an even slightly longer version of it - Anyone know where to find a skit that shows a bit more?

[npoleontnt]

I always knew I couldn't be the only one with a Carol Cleveland obsession!

[douro20]

Although I'm privy to curvier women than her, I do find her quite pretty.

[AgapeSE]

0:42 lmao

[JohnnyMarsden]

Oh you've no idea how the children get taunted! Why just the other day, Dirty Lying Little Two-Faced came running home crying! She's at the age when taunts like "She's a git" REALLY hurt!!!

[El135o]

Oooo, Carol Cleveland!

Strange coincidence, we did our house in warm pus as well. But we dislike the Rectums from Swanidge.

[kenfig]

That aint Tim Brooke

[kenfig]

LOVE the way John Cleeses 'woman' says seductively "How do YOU do ?"

[BucketTribute]

@kenfig yea, instant classic right there :D

[JNeverMindMe]

@kenfig I've read your comment before I'd watched the vid; when Cleese walked up I thought he would talk like a woman, but the moment he said "How do YOU do ?" It was totally unexpected, I PISSED MYSELF!!!!

[ariandynas]

@kenfig WHO do you do? Why do you do them? How do you do it?

[jerryhello100]

@kenfig hahaha, I know.

[missingsydbarrett]

ah- i see!

[neeerv]

john looks quite fabulous, needless to say

[missingsydbarrett]

i thought the guy reading book was graham. anyway quiet great sketch.

[tapeduk]

Cleese hacking up mucous landing in his open purse

[SottileGioia]

She is Lancelot? (form a Python`s movie)

[faerincolfer]

A. Snivellinglittleratfaced Git. Must get name change to this. Now.

[TwistedAnvil]

Yeah! Terry Gilliam at the end with the KO of a nun!!!

[themontypythonmuseum]

in 1972, two brothers called Dough and Dinsdale tried to start a protection racket called "the other operation", but they were thwarted by a giant hedgehog. If YOU don't want to see a giant hedgehog near YOUR home, post this comment at five other videos.

[dharmaseed]

I've already told you, this is silly. If it happens again, I'm going to sic Spiny Norman on you.

[themontypythonmuseum]

I AM Spiny Norman!

[benjoblo]

1:39 HAHAHA! John Cleese, genius :)

[missdexterity]

lol i like the book: "Raising Gangsters for Fun & Profit"

[SupaSexySnake287]

this is my wife, Drearyfatboringold

[jamesbelas]

KNOCKED OUT!!!

[alitni]

I prefer the dirty version hahahahah

[BOOMitsalice]

Hahaha warm pus on their house!

[mrspepper01]

"how do you do" in the manly voice

vomits in purse

lol

[Yayito1234]

lol

[cancercrab427]

this is discastion

[Myrmelie]

And John steals the whole scene at 1:41

[Myrmelie]

Haha, at the end how John is rubbing himself , sorry, herself against the already very embarassed Mr. Stokes.

[ikmarchini]

If comedy comes in unexpected juxtaposition, then John Cleese hocking up something into his/her purse has to be the funniest single moment in all comedy

[TwistedAnvil]

lol Terry socks that nun one at the end :P

[SlimJimfrWpg]

the mucous flying out when Cleese coughs is superb humour!

[nyuuuchan]

I prefer the dirty version.

[BethGoth15]

Today, me and my friend decided to go in the college library at lunchtime to play on the computers. I decided to read the script for this sketch and I was reading it outloud and I was rolling around laughing in tears. Good thing I didn't get in trouble for it he-he!!!

[wolfdude117]

Rofl

[murielsartre]

I had to look up catarrh. Mr. Git smeared his front door with "catarrh and warm pus." Bleah.

Graham mentioned in his autobiography that he thought John had a crush on Michael (who doesn't?), and that's why John wanted to work with Michael in the first place. Is it true? Who knows? But whenever I see this scene, remembering that bit in Graham's book makes it that much funnier.

[BethGoth15]

John crushing on Mike?! Eww! In my fanfiction (which was inspired by this, actually) It was GRAHAM who went off with Mikey lol.

[davidh305]

Then you forgot the sketch with the man (Michael) whose wallet has been stolen, the policeman (John) asks if he saw anyone. Man says No. Ofcr says, "I'm afraid there's not much we can do about it then." Man says, "Do you want to come back to my place?" Ofcr says, "Yeah, all right."

[BethGoth15]

I love that sketch!

[rowiian]

@BethGoth15

... Where can I read it? XD

[BethGoth15]

@rowiian I can PM you if you like :) I think I still have it.

[rowiian]

... PM?

Geez, I must be really stupid. XD

[HaloJunkieXP]

to quote graham chapman (from Holy Grail)

"JESUS CHRIST!!!"

[xxEliLuvsxx]

Whats with 1:41?!?!?

Good lord...Terry Gilliam's going to hell

[BethGoth15]

John vomited into his handbag.

[Kebabsvein]

"how do YOU do?"

[Terry666Craig]

ROFL @ the end. The boxer's Terry Gilliam! =D

[Rockstar31496]

Oh My Goodness! This is classic 'classy' versus 'white trash.'

[geeko55]

The cover of the book, "Raising Gangsters for fun and profit" thats just genius.

[lafilledebeatles3]

hahahaha i watch this skit over and over, i love it.

lol "these are the gits." "what!" XD

[Smiley0925]

lol i love how john starts rubbing his leg against michael at the end of the "dirty version" sketch! and does something sketchy behind michael right before that...

[Friscalating]

Yeah, that's definitely a genuine look of uneasiness on Palin's face... poor man. XD

Also, Graham Chapman should have worn a tuxedo every time he was ever being filmed. Pretty.

[coastmelter4]

WTF is this?who believes this shit?

[EmmaEarthquake]

lmao.

[rainbowsandwar]

Hahaha, John is amazing in this sketch. "How do YOU do?"

[Nixyluvsmetal]

random ending much?

[LittleRuberry]

Of course! This is Monty Python! Expect anything less than total absurdity and you will be very surprised!

[xxMurderScene]

Cleese is the creepiest woman ever.

It's awesome : D

[blckprljin]

"how do YOU do?"

[Ryoushadow]

@xxMurderScene You haven't met my wife.

[ITILII]

@xxMurderScene and Carol Cleveland is one of the most beautiful women, ever ;-)

[NavinJohnson90]

so what is a git?

[zaggy3110]

a British insult meaning a stupid person

[teencomment]

XD Palin's wife must be so confused!

[darkpirategirl]

"How do you do?" LOL.

[nogoodnames12]

GORSE vomit and warm puss??

[Stephie2007]

does anyone notice how John's woman costume makes him look pregnant?

[Yownanymous]

Yeah I thought that.

[Ryoushadow]

"How do YOU do?"

Loved that part.

[bsl103158]

and How do YOU do????? from 6 foot 5 inch amazon Cleese

[Aaberg123]

"I prefer the dirty version" ... Smack

Priceless.

[ketmaniac]

Was that Gilliam punching Carol?

[EpifanesEuergetes]

Yes it was.

[dharmaseed]

I preferred the dirty version...whack!!!

[jessiethegeek]

john cleese is so funny as a woman.monty python i love it

signature

Smile.Jesus loves you

[scarlettohara77]

micheal palin has the most beautiful eyes.i love this.john cleese had like 2 lines and stil was the funniest one standing

GB

jessie

[jeangeenie]

John Cleese just standing is more funny than most people trying their hardest to be comical.

[farcett12]

dude the ending with the nun- rotflmao!

[lewisner]

"We've just had the outside painted with warm pus" LMAO

[XXL2oo]

Goes nicely with the vomit smeared over the front door

[AgentRew]

Not wanting to speak ill of the dead . . but was Chapman drunk?

[2drnk2fck]

I don't know, he looks drunk to me... I heard he was an alcoholic.

[ElladoraDuBois]

He was. But, he was a brilliant alchoholic.

And we still <3 him. =D

[iluvcheezitsheyhey]

"How do YOU do?" ;)

[flanneryged]

That is "Brilliant" just "Brilliant".

[Elric33239]

The Pythons were geniuses of high-brow humour as well as gross sight gags, like Cleese as Dreary Fat Boring Old puking in her purse and Sniveling Little Rat Face naming their equally-disgusting children! Magnificent!

[CF1975]

Apart from Idle (who was quite charming with the right wig and the right outfit), all the pythons looked very hideous in a dress. Cleese always looked downright scary as a woman, bit of a psycho...

[sagnyc]

I also think Idle was brilliant at women's voices, especially in "The Meaning of Life" (the Protestant couple's scene after "Every Sperm is Sacred," and the scene with "Mr. Death").

[SnowQueen42]

I agree.

[GaminattheBarricades]

to this point I have never ever ever ever ever ever ever seen John Cleese in a dress

my lord, he looks...fabulous!

[IAMNOTHUMAN]

Also, tall.

[amalou1]

he's SO enjoying coming on to Michael! "how do YOU do?" hee-hee-hee!

[dorekatja]

look at that book in the very beginning of the sketch: raising gangsters for fun and profit! =D

[Elric33239]

There was once a book called "Raising Chickens for Fun and Profit" that the Pythons were lampooning in a Gilliam-created cartoon about chicken who was a gangster called "Eggs" Diamond, a parody of the infamous gangster "Legs" Diamond. After "Eggs" and his "gang of eggs" were gunned down, an ad for a book called "Raising Gangsters for Fun and Profit" was pitched as a linking gag to this sketch.
