Bicycle Repairman

[grantrummel]

that's a sweet Brooks saddle!

[shadowhawk793]

I like how the bicycle is blue while he's working on it it, and then red when he's done. hahaha

[sudoLinux666]

There are 85 people that have bicycles menaced by International Communism. 

[andywarstarforever]

Hey Monty, if you guys moved past this "We need Money" thing and just gave away all your artistic content like I do, well... You wouldn't have much money, but you'd be spiritually richer! So be sure to visit double you double you double you dot andy warstar dot com and get lots of my music for free! Btw, can I guest in one of your off broadway musicals? Thanks and Rock on...

[magnusm1]

@andywarstarforever No, of course not. And they don't read comments, you nut.

[Nikolai84D]

Anyone explain? I kinda dont get it ^^

[russinhouse]

@Nikolai84D oh dear.

[BucketTribute]

What does FG stand for in Mr FG Superman?

[veitchy88]

@BucketTribute First and middle initials. Kinda like HG Wells.

[withalittlehelpfrom3]

So at :30, is that Daniel Radcliffe? Or perhaps it's John Larroquette Sidekick Man!

[darthawsomevids]

Monty python is awesome... Worship...

[TheDeepEndShow1]

Tea is enough to melt away all anti communism!

[artstuX]

2:27

Alex Jones on his day off.

[TheDeepEndShow1]

Only in america.

[ritardable]

@TheDeepEndShow1 You're not serious, right?

[TheDeepEndShow1]

@ritardable Of course not!

[ritardable]

@TheDeepEndShow1 Right then, good

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

As always the lazy English jesters are the spoiled children of the Muse of Comedy, Thalia! Instead of producing a whole piece of comedy about the ridiculous American drawn would-be heroic figures and their laughable vesture they just made a brief jest about it and then move on; real comedic playwrights like Aristophanes or Molière would have been grateful for the kind of inspiration the Pythons had but they did make so little about their greatest comical ideas and so ran out of them before time.

[laosandburma]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar Nobody knows what the hell you just said. lol

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@laosandburma: This is why sweet Jesus says that those who are weak in mind are blessed with the realm of heaven, as they don’t understand such things and therefore can stick to blind faith, which is indispensable for ascending to heaven.

[russinhouse]

@laosandburma  you need more "nouse", less laos.

[lcmiracle]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar thank you, for your national propaganda.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@lcmiracle: Wisdom and goodness to the vile seem vile: Filths savour but themselves.

[LittleMuckyMe]

@FireEyedMaidOfWar

Right,.

So you think they should of made a feature length film about the absurdity of McCarthysm and the caricaturization, through bombastic comic strip character, of the American national identity?

Because I am thinking that would be about as unfunny and pretentious as this little discussion.

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

@LittleMuckyMe: Well, I find this sort jest were amusing and consider what the Pythons have done to the story of sweet Jesus in The Life of Brian or the legend of King Arthur in The Holy Grail; so just watch all those stupid American comics and their movie adaptations and then think again of what mischief the Pythons could have done to them; certainly these masked clowns with supernatural powers cry for a profound and cynical parody, they demand Monty Python!

[Tubernaut]

See how he uses a spanner to tighten that knot.

[computernerd01num2]

john cleese need sto go to the argumaent clinic

[glitterworksstudio]

I love everyone's american accents

[Pobotrol]

Where's the bit where Terry Jones falls off his bike? That's my favourite :-(

[HerbredMadness]

John at the end reminds me a bit of mr. Cave Johnson.

[Redshift21]

That's actually quiet a nice vintage bike there too

[anjroo11688]

83 people don't like working bikes

[mattmale]

@anjroo11688 83 people presciently knew you were going to write that.

[NielsShoe]

Think Eagle man insurance copied off theis:0

[RadimirWackytov]

2:33 Ladies and gentlemen, may I present Glenn Beck's inspiration.

[flutewarrior1]

LOL out loud

[doctorfeelucky]

I HATE COMMIES!!! KILL KILL!!

[03LukaVocaloid]

@doctorfeelucky "Tea's ready." "Coming dear."

[flutewarrior1]

oh my god… i love this.

[sanjosebikeblog]

haha! Monty Python rules!

[AvmanM]

The bus licence plate says "OLD 666".

[Cazz814]

Glenn Beck has nothing on John Cleese.

[JollyGothicKid]

I wonder what Batman's secret identity is.



[AvmanM]

@JollyGothicKid: A wealthy businessman who saves the economy?

[ThisisJamesman]

@JollyGothicKid no no. Mr. B.W. Batman is actually Septic Tank Cleaner Man, devoted to oblierating the terrorist threat from your septic tanks.

[Johngalt43]

Anyone else noticed that the bike he's working on and the one he hands to the owner are completely different? They must have used a stunt bike.

[Kartzentian]

WTF??? Classic charisma :D Жемчужина просто

[thexalon]

Who's standing right behind Graham through the repair scene?

[flutewarrior1]

@thexalon nobody

[sbbjason]

ALTER SADDLE!

[TheFawfulfan]

Is it a stockbroker?! Is it a quantity surveyor?! Is it the Judge-Warden?!

...

NO!!! It's Bicycle Repairman!!!

[neil73]

See how he uses that spanner to tighten that nut!

[TheRandomnatrix]

Sooo, did he ride a radioactive bicycle or what?

[kradfahrer1901]

OH! IT'S BICYCLE REPAIR MAN!

[Garsha420]

Best part John Cleese 2:25

[fmpyoyoqueen93]

The last bit is the best I dont quite get the rest. :)

[mussie302]

Absolutely wonderful! Nearly 40 years on and it's still bl**dy amazing. There is nothing like Python.

[mafiamanj15]

- "FILTHY BASTARD COMMIES, I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM I HATE 'EM!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

- "Tea is ready"

- "Coming dear..."

lol, Monty Python is a legend!

[XxFunkymonk123xX]

ITS FUNNY BECAUSE HE TRANSFORMS INTO A NORMAL HUMAN....!

[Melahdina]

gogo bicycle ranger :D

[HernVee]

82 people are commies

[pugcasso]

0:13 ... haha - I like the 'superman' on the sidewalk walking the white poodle haha (I can just imagine when this sketch was going to be filmed...*ring ring* "this is Bob's Costume Emporium,can I help you" ... "yes, we'd like to rent 15 superman costumes... make one extra tall!")

[FFulmenTheFinnish]

Lmao the ending was priceless!

[kobakommander]

Where's DC comics' grim and gritty reboot of Bicycle Repair Man?

[drixg555]

Did Grant Morisson reference this in one of his works? Final Crisis would have been a good place for this.

[Ikkin93107]

The title itself is hilarious already. Bicycle repair man..pffttt xD

[TheStapleGunKid]

Why is John Cleese digging the hole with a pick axe?

[rual40]

@TheStapleGunKid rocks

[CrouchieAtlas]

I honestly don't find it funny.

Why ?

[JohnnyZenith]

@CrouchieAtlas It isn't for you?

[CrouchieAtlas]

@JohnnyZenith

I normally really like Monty Pythons...

[rockgor]

When last measured, John Cleese was 7 feet tall. His legs along

were 5 feet tall.

[WoseyPosey]

I was in love with Michael Palin for five years as a teenager, my first real crush. Michaels first crush was Connie Francis. My birthday is May 6th, Michaels is May 5th. I now have a partner who looks a lot like him - it's rather uncanny. On a subconscious level I realize I have made him grow the same side burns Michael had in the 60's - 70's.My partners birthday is May 1st, so we're all Taurus. Strange how things pan out...I think I now have what I have always wanted - my very own Michael! :)

[imallfordabulls]

It's all in a days work for Bicycle Repairman. *Snort*

[thedorantor]

...why dont they just fly? :P

[Szwetkow]

completely new bicycle :D

[Vereis]

I still have a huge problem with international communism menacing my bicycle.

[DaL33T5]

@Vereis

They smash the bike up with a hammer and cut the tires with a sickle!

[VegardMinde]

Every super man fights communism !

[Werona40]

I admire Bicycle Repairman's eyes 0:36, when he's thinking about his new disguise and new task for him! :))

[Werona40]

I admire Michael Palin's (Bicycle Repairman's) eyes, when he's thinking about his new disguise and new task for him! :))

[NetherDrakeye]

their american accents are freaking awesome omg

[erhardtgergo]

John Cleese 1:55 arm! :D

[Taylon79]

John Cleese at the end completely makes this sketch for me haha

[bernardmcbride]

81 people are commis

[snoookie456]

I like all of Monthy Python, but Eric Idle and John Cleese are probably the best thing that ever happened to british comedy...

[tahu2010]

Everyone should be made to dress up as Superheroes I think

[Potomac87]

Cleese's and Chapmens's reaction at 0:33 xD

[GrayLeader2184]

If my dad were a superhero, he'd be this guy.

[Bubblingbrew]

2:20, wtf, is that the road from Forrest Gump? =O

[SuccessTHRUdaLORD]

@Bubblingbrew

lmao that's what I was thinking too!!!

[MrWolfshock]

did anyone else notice that the bike changed colors? I love Monty python! these guys are hilarious!

[vongrzanka]

I love their "American" accent. :P

[VisibleNinjaProd]

BICYCLE REPAIRMAN!

BUT HOW?

[KnucklesTheEchidna37]

Everyone's dressed like that... so funny

[tenmon83]

he gave him a new bicycle?? ;)

[mehigh2marsiansky]

best superhero ever

[sweettooth80]

HA

[whatadoe]

1:56, the right arm of the second man from the left!

LOVE IT hahaha

[onda42]

no one on TV or anyone in any movie can throw a fit of rage like John Cleese

[DigitalisSharkus]

Does any one know the actual name of the music used for this? It's not on the De Wolfe collection of Python music and I have not been able to find it in the De Wolfe library, although it is the only stock source listed at imdb for this episode. I've been trying to find it for ages.

[Denon333dash888]

Amazing how superheroes can never repair stuff..... :P

[EveTheBeef]

1:56 damn these muscles look so real!!

[Chzrm3]

Dude, everything about this is amazing. It goes from an inverted spoof on superman to poking fun at America's obsession with tackling communism without skipping a beat, I was honestly dying at the end when the guy's throwing a fit about how much he hates communists.

[LtBriJMAC]

@DanteMcSparda yes it is the number of the beast Book of Revelation 13:17–18

[Belindashort]

@megan130 Since its satire, it falls under fair use.

[nowayitsjennie]

Terry Jones' "American accent" somehow manages to sound like Ringo Starr

[Nickster63]

I just love the Pythons attempts at American accents-They make an already hilariously over dramatic and silly scene even funnier-And John Cleese at the end...Perfect. One of my favourite sketches.

[beautifulsarah100]

Whoever thought up all these Python skits had to be on drugs - and I say that with the utmost respect.

[marcobtv]

They are the best.

[OlaNaTungee6]

how i love palin's freckles...

[hearts76100]

Fucking crap

[miladynana]

@hearts76100 don't watch it then

[Shortstickman]

@hearts76100 you blasphemous fool, you clearly don't know humor if you think that this is crap.

[soumyaaymous]

is this what is known as surreal humour ?

[colonellemon]

1:17 Look it's Gordon Brown!!!

[Darkvaynes]

you've got to wonder how the bike got in that state in the 1st place...

mind you, my friends literally snapped in two when he was riding slowly on flat ground so...

[Napoleon5005]

2:34 till the end of the clip is the funniest part!!! "KILL "EMM!!!! KICK 'EM IN THE TEETH! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" 5 Stars John Cleese!

[SparkyGerbil]

Only Michael Palin could be Bicycle Repairman!

[imcoolerthenyouever]

our hero!

[hiodr]

what's with the satanic license plate on the bus, "old 666"?

[TheMetalFloyd666]

in sovjet russia, bicycles repair you.

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

80 people didn`t get their bicycle repaired ^.^

[blackbeasthamish]

@MrMontyBurnsDog They need "sense of humour repair man"

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

@blackbeasthamish LOL,Good one.See how he makes them laugh with his own jokes ^.^

[kell1425]

[EddyBear360]

"Why, he's mending it with his own hands!"

"See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!"

xD

[DAproductions5X3]

Wasn't this before fawlty towers?

[goth9ever]

john cleese is so fucking insane LOL, funny as hell

[mtber4]

Alter saddle! LOL

[PeterDestructo]

Basil Fawlty at home.

[EmmaThePrincess]

I've got a feeling that my family will start hating me now, cuz I'll be running around crazily for the rest of the day, screaming: "I AM BICYCLE REPAIRMAN!"

Hm. We're off to church in an hour. IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC!

[Menamebephil]

These are some of the worst American accents I've ever heard. Which adds to the charm.

[Pendor42]

to all appearances no different to any law abiding citizen. win @tonguelovermike i couln give a bollox about bein a super hero meself. id see it as more of a lighthearted go at the yanks imo

[tonguelovermike]

it's all about self-worth and our desire to be heroes

[DemonDrummer1018]

Gotta love their American accents

[smsteve888]

John Cleese predicted Glenn Beck.  Who knew?

[Andreilg3]

@smsteve888 still agree with gb evem if he is nuts lol

[hollander133]

The bus number is 666 XD

[Shadowmonky44]

Clink! Screw! Bend! Inflate! Alter Saddle!

[Madmoonie]

And the knight with the chicken....

[djbiggyb]

@megan130 not if it's an obvious parody. i could use logos and whatnot of many famous companies only as long as it is a in parodied mannor

[sweetsongman1]

...O>O this is just strange

[doacarnage]

Cleese at the end is bloody priceless

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@doacarnage

Agreed, I was in tears of laughing after Cleese had finished his anger-episode.

[PolDee187]

@doacarnage cleese is always priceless..

[wildcardbitchesss]

77 people this 77 people that bla bla bla... write it down directly

[PurpleEster]

[toxickatie]

I like their attempt at a 1940's american accent hahahaha

[StaraziaSelin66]

comical irony? the pythons in tights? and john cleese screaming?

...yes, this is clearly one of the greatest monty python sketches ever!

[MrCraigMunro]

See how he uses a spatter to tighten that nut!

[Roogman5000]

KILL! KIIILLLLL! KIIIIIILLLLL!

[ShadowWulf14]

77 people are communist bastards

[antrii]

@ShadowWulf14

no, i would say better 77 people are democratic whores

[commander7890]

British anger is no match for tea and biscuits!

[CssHDmonster]

the most dramatic music ever

[LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1]

British bikes always breakdown. I was cycling over Twickenham railway bridge when I was a kid and my chain broke and I went arse over tit.

I like John Cleese's highly articulate views on international communism and 'commy's and marxists at the end of the sketch.

[SemSpad]

@LOCOMOTIONNUMBER1

Yes. I fell off

near Bovey Tracey. The pump caught in my trouser leg.

And my sandwiches were badly crushed.



[EddyBear360]

AARGH!! ARRGH!

"Tea's ready!"

Oh, coming dear!"

[squishy3000]

"See how he uses a spanner to tighten that nut!"

[PhilipPorter]

JC sounded like a typical Fox News anchor at the end.

[nesbroslash]

77 people's bikes are menaced by communism.

[Senkon]
