Upper Class Twit of the Year

[DarthZimmeris666]

...with the going firm underfoot. xD

[eamaralmoviefan]

Oliver Wallace: Like a Boss

[ThePatch202]

This happens to be the original because there were two of this sketch (the second was in the movie "Monty Python and Now for Something Completely Different" which failed here in the US) but this is more like the movie version than the original

[Music4AII]

I've always loved the "And Oliver has run himself over". Still do.

[sonicfrogdotnet]

Nigel's me favorite!

[sonicfrogdotnet]

@sonicfrogdotnet Oliver... I mean Oliver..... He's run himself over!

[sexypoetry]

I SEEK POLE SHIFT SURVIVAL GROUP.

[DBJetsman]

39 people would get last place...

[SirDamned]

Three layers of match boxes, eee nah honestly.

[Moto4Everr]

lol wtf

[mustangpatty51]

Monty Python is classic comedy. Still funny 35 years later. 

[TheInsaneBrains]

They really shouldn't give those twits guns... Who knows what casualties might come upon the crowd?

[Krayorik2point0]

I would soooooooo win this race.

[kitkatcutie520]

I love it when they wave to the audience in the begining, it's so cute and funny xD

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

Many folks think this to be a highly exaggerated satire of the higher classes, mocking the fact that some are born into wealth; but to those, who are born rich and suffer under a heredity membership in the Rotary Club and have to attend the social gatherings of the upper classes like fox hunts, think that the only thing which is satire here is the clumsy gait and the silly talk but not the stupidity; since many people seem to spend their wit getting rich and have none left to bequeath.

[JCatisyes]

Twit!!!

[Hysteria98]

I'm surprised they didn't all die after this, they must've absolutely shat themselves laughing afterwards.

[TDaViEzZ1994]

I'm really surprised the colonel didnt come in at some point

[MrPixel42]

looks like 37 people made the first step towards being the next upper class twit of the year.

[germantothemax]

funniest and most stupid thing i ever saw thumps up monty and for all those 37 people who dont like it...... nobody cares!

[Thebirdienumnum]

My husband used to make these faces when I first met him to make me laugh.

It worked, I`m still laughing.

[chukas88]

haha yeah there its going to be a tough competition this year, I heard the Royal Wedding audience will be competing this year.

[nlcshk]

@chukas88 I actually laughed out loud! :D

[bionicgforcecoffee]

Looks like 80% of the audience at Westminster Abbey for the Royal Wedding.

[MatschieTV]

It's so ridiculously insane, but true! =D

[Monaqute]

Because of this sketch the show was cancelled in Finland's television. :<

[bengacris]

@Monaqute why?

[rocksoliddude1]

so this is what tory politicians do in their spare time

[ShadowZIsGod]

37 people failed their O-level in kennel hygiene.

[funnfun01]

hahahahahaha awesome, a real pile driver from the python boys XD

[withitsaysthis]

ahahahahaha, oh I was laughing so hard my stomach hurts. This was the first Monty Pythons sketch I ever saw and I still think its my favourite.

[ryanrule2]

Ancient man - "I have an idea, lets put them in charge of the country!"

And thus politics was born.

[DaKilla27]

"He dosen't know when he's beaten! He dosen't know when he's winning ether! He dosen't have any sort of sensory apperatis known to mankind!"

[arrantylar105]

How the bloody hell do you manage to run yourself over? i mean really.... what a twit...

[MrEduardoMF]

@arrantylar105 I dont want to know

[Suedeheadlover]

@arrantylar105 Let's consult an expert in the matter - ladies & gents, please welcome the former voice of East 17, Mr. Brian Harvey.

[prozmbieeater]

@arrantylar105 notice how he came in last place but still managed to win the gold......

[arrantylar105]

@prozmbieeater no he didnt?

[prozmbieeater]

@arrantylar105 oh wait, sorry im a twit, My favorite part of this entire sketch is when they try to wake the nieghber up. The twit across the street slams his door four times "just to make sure its shut" whats your favorite part of this sketch?

[arrantylar105]

@prozmbieeater the part where theres twits

[Beatleluver1234567]

OH MY GOD, OLIVER RAN HIMSELF OVER!!!

[PhysicalGraffiti91]

A real piledriver!

[runesilas2]

You know, they knew oliver was going to run himself over. They only had four ladies to remove bra's from. (Just sayin) This is absouletly hillarious. :)

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

Funny, I don't see Glenn Beck.

[MCCoutryGirl3]

Who would give these ppl guns!

[SuperGravey]

I went for Oliver, he looked a shoe in. These guys were clearly in their best form in these events, it makes the Olympics seem like 2nd rate.

[garfieldcomicgrl2]

I have probably seen this skit 10 times now, and I still wheeze every single time I watch it.

[freakytiki1212]

if the site is called twitter, and a message is called a tweet... then what are the users called?... TWITS!

[Muppio]

@freakytiki1212

I c wut ya did thar.

[pajamaman100]

And Oliver has run himself over!

[runesilas2]

@pajamaman100 CLASSIC!! LOLOLOL :)

[gothichyppie]

I'll never forget the first time I saw this, I thought that I was gonna DIE right there in front of my TV!

[JustthatCrazzzy]

Why can't I help but think that my friends would do this?

[StereoChaos]

I love the fact that there's only four mannequins. It's like the gamedesigners knew that one of them wouldn't make it that far.

[HyperCheeseVideos]

bahaha!!

[shuojinz33]

Ever wonder where derp and hurp came from? Here's your answer.

[warrensmitchell]

37 people are twits

[realar]

The sad thing about this sketch it so far parallels the actual death order of the Pythons, with Oliver namely Graham dying first. The others are alive and well, as of now.

[JesseJetter]

Oh wait, he's dead but he's not quite out. Go Nigel Incubator Jones!

[JesseJetter]

I love it when they just stand and wave. Go Oliver Sinjun Mollusk!

[Solarian2495]

Gumby would've wiped the floor with those posers....

[realar]

@Solarian2495 Sadly Gumby's dead now, sigh.

[Meetero]

lol...the caskets on the podium with the medals on em.

[MeAndMyLittleVoices]

It looks like they've all been to the Ministry of Silly Walks. :)

[AnimeMadMan123]

36 upper class twits watched this vidieo

[solcario2]

36 ppl are old ladies

[therealdudeski]

there's 36 people who want in on next years race

[cjaykiller]

lol ur wonder why theres no more of this compition is cuz oliver is still going hes still laying there omg when will this end

[Mikes1800]

36 twits are married to very attractive table lamps.

[toxickatie]

I think the guy who won first might have been my ex neighbor.

[UBeenDropt]

@toxickatie =\

[toxickatie]

@UBeenDropt

He's an upper class twit, nothing suggestive haha.

[UBeenDropt]

@toxickatie oh I thought you meant he shot himself lol

[DaFinMonsta]

Flying Circus was canceled in Finland because this sketch was "offending people with cerebral palsy".

[MrGstar125]

i loled just looking at their faces

[thisisradioclash311]

34 people are in the next running of the Upper Class Twit of the Year

[YamsRyu]

@thisisradioclash311

Nah, 34 people are actually named Oliver and ran themselves over.

[chickenruler]

This should be in the Olympics! Or at least the Commonwealth!

[TheGeoshark]

notice that there were only four girls... almost as if they knew oliver would kill himself

[adamtzsch]

@TheGeoshark A few of the Python team were actually psychic.

[starwarsnerd94]

What bloody twits. :p

[HorseGal9002]

no they didnt realize they were supposed to start the official is explaining it and it looks like olivers got it, and they start again and OH its a false start but their off anyways. LOL just like a horse race it is. Monty Python. cant get any funnier

[wildboy789789]

graham, we miss ya buddy... truely a great loss of comedic talent :(... my favorite python

[CanadianStereotype]

Oh and Oliver's run himself over what a great twit!

[painlessissuicide]

Christine O'Donnel = Twit of the Year

[wildboy789789]

@painlessissuicide totally agree

[IrishBagel07]

@painlessissuicide Sarah Palin = Twit of the Year Nominee

[painlessissuicide]

@IrishBagel07 yes, I'm afraid the good people of Delaware were smarter than I gave them credit for, so we most likely won't be hearing from that idiot again

the crown of America's #1 twit returns to Sarah Palin

[GABowie]

@painlessissuicide no Glenn Beck and Bill O'Reilly share that award

[painlessissuicide]

@GABowie O'Reilly is an asshole, but I wouldn't say he's stupid enough to qualify as a twit

Beck on the other hand just needs to up his meds

[Executus300]

@painlessissuicide I thought Ann Coulter had the Twit of the Year award for the last few years...

[pseudokarma]

best sketch ever. I like the ones with exaggerated blood squirting out of character's limbs also. I like them all, really.

[FranzLotus]

Genius

[AdMeliora1]

Oh Monty Python, how I love you!

[msfit2btied]

This one never fails to make me laugh! The first 60 secs alone!

[thefrecklepuny]

Cameron, Clegg and Osborne perchance?

[nossefaar1]

we are not amused

[newfrickinshow]

He doesn't know when he's beaten this boy, he doesn't know when he's winning either. He has no form of sensory apparatus

[Dangeresque300]

In America, they call this event the "Republican National Rally"

[Stefan1527]

@Dangeresque300 good to know:D:D

[CoasterFactoryNL]

@Dangeresque300 Or jogging with Hulk Hogan

[painlessissuicide]

@Dangeresque300 more like the Republican Presidental Primaries

[79Saints]

@Dangeresque300 No, in America we just call them politicans

[venom4387985]

@Dangeresque300 HEY OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

[toasis2000]

@Dangeresque300 really? And which rally does George Soros compete in?

[toasis2000]

@Dangeresque300 Really? And which rally does George Soros attend?

[warzIbanez]

@Dangeresque300 I'd say it's fair to include the Democratic National Convention as Pt. 2.

[Dangeresque300]

@warzIbanez  Touche.

[geeksquad927]

@Dangeresque300

I know it's been 8 months....

But that made my day.

[Ellbell72]

Ohhh Oliver. =)

[ChrisK42]

Well, there's going to be lots of car door slamming in Kensington tonight.

[StevenTylersmitten]

I'm trying to think of a witty and clever quip so I can be on Eric Idle's response to fatuous comments.

[doctorwhom1]

i know a few people who should enter

[LordEd1976]

@doctorwhom1 only a few? I know scores of people who could enter

[thegeekiestnerd]

Is python doing a tour.

Perhaps in the south east.

Or can the pythons come down for a couple of days.

[alasanof]

All the twats twit on twitter.

[SHOJMPR42]

O THE JUMP OF A LIFETIME IF ONLY HIS FATHER COULD UNDERSTAND

[GonzoSarge]

HarlequinDrFaustus

No, this years competitors are those in the Obama administration managing (or at least trying to manage anyway) the oil spill crisis. After all the buck stops with President Obama right?

[trainguy13]

OLIVER HAS RUN HIM SELF OVER!!!!!!

[DarkthXizov]

33 PEOPLE DON'T LIKE THIS?! WTF?!

[JohnnyPK]

Oliver needs a driving lesson!!!!



[Fittpappa]

oh no he jumped the wrong way! lol

[popota17]

We should hold a cerimony like this every year to give out the Darwin awards.

[rowiian]

2:43

I think my spleen has suffered irreplacable damage X'D

They MUST have cracked up A LOT filming this.

[MiturGrunge]

This is my absolute favourite xD

[HarlequinDrFaustus]

So is this year being run by BP execs?

[blueprintwizard]

2:48 graham in the distance

[xplay108]

Why isn't TV like this anymore? ANSWER MY ERIC! 

[homemadepro]

Darn! I lot my bet! And I bet on Oliver!

[jammingal141]

i love ghram in this one and john who twirls ! lol they are all great! GOOD SKETCH

[Sqdrn1]

Humour doesn't date at all - but what is amazing is seeing the iconic Battersea Power Station still in working order smoking away in the background. Used to have a Triumph Spitfire ( the white car ) the handbrake/partking brake was so weak - running oneself over was quite easy!

[Oldcarsarecool]

""All they have to do to win the title is to shoot themselves !" Epic . . .

[EltonJThe]

well, they all played good twits. I wonder how different that sketch would be if you put politicians in that race?

[blackwatch65]

MY FAVORITE SKETCH

[SkilesASMB]

AND OLIVER HAS RUN HIMSELF OVER!

[WolfStar90210]

I REALLY don't want one of them as my boyfriend....

[free0fight]

run himself over!!! wth...i was laughing so hard...this is just great...=]]]

[rocksoliddude1]

wish i was upperclass but without the stupidity

[OMIGHTYGUY]

@rocksoliddude1 Believe me, being an upperclassman is WAY better than being not one. xD

[Idmaif]

and Oliver has run himself over!

[honortheallies]

lol olivers dead but he's not necessarily out of it.

oliver had the best face at the beginning

[honortheallies]

lol olivers dead but he's not necessarily out of it.

oliver had the best face at the beginning

[dogbreath34]

An absolute classic. Right up there with the dead parrot sketch.

[TlairAddicted]

This is my favorite Monty Python skit ever!!! I love how in the version on and now for something really different it suggests Oliver's mother had won this previously, To funny!!!

[richardmaudsley77]

Bloody hell, that was the last time an e-type was cheap enough for the bbc!

[SvartTuggummi]

This was the first sketch I saw with Monty Python and it´s one of my favourite, I love them they are so funny xD

[painlessissuicide]

Sarah Palin is certainly Twit of the Year, but does she count as Upper Class?

[durringtonatlive]

no, u have to be human to belong to a social class

[painlessissuicide]

you don't suppose... Crab People?!

[durringtonatlive]

CRAB PEOPLE!!!!

[mubzy101]

I love the hypocrisy of her - we dont like sex out of wedlock - but dont take MY daughter as an example...

[painlessissuicide]

who got knocked up a guy with BARELY a high school education, who has absolutely no way of supporting her and needs to pose for gay porn (which is IMMORAL!) to get any source of income

[Bubbadude329]

IMMORAL!

[painlessissuicide]

@Bubbadude329 unlike charging rape victims fees for medical examinations, that is SO totally what Jesus would want

[masticina]

@mubzy101

Do as I say don't do as I do, the utter hypocrisy of modern religion!

[mubzy101]

no - not modern religion - American Politics

[MotionOrbProductions]

Best monty python skit ever, gets me rolling evry time

[Muppio]

How the hell does one think of all this? XD

[TheRandyChimp]

Possibly my favourite sketch, I saw it for the first time when I was 7 and it still makes me laugh.

[stargell777]

Why can't we do this for bankers today?!?

[edstercw]

rather silly

[bukbuk11]

I can't wait for next year's race!

[StaraziaSelin66]

@bukbuk11 i heard that john mccain's going to be in it!!! and i might too, i dunno XD

[bukbuk11]

I'll root for you instead! Unfortunately, you'll still lose to McCain easily.

[StaraziaSelin66]

@bukbuk11 ha, i'd rather lose and not be considered and upper class twit than shoot myself and have myself thought of as such. XD

[MrDBRADLEY12]

And Oliver's run himself over!

XD

[76juno]

@mateofleckito

This isn't intended to be representative of anybody's "culture." It's just the Monty Python team being silly. It's what they were famous for. Stop thinking so hard.

[Dangeresque300]

It's actually supposed to represent the stupid people in their neighborhoods. John Cleese also recalls being woken up by slamming of car doors.

[mateofleckito]

as funny as this is, i think i'm probably missing something about their culture

[Abderian]

RIP you outstanding twits.
