Monty Python´s Most awful family award 1974

[pretorious700]

wow, Graham Chapman looks just like Nancy Pelosi.

[SuperIlluminaughty]

Pratt was all over the field!

[LenartS]

COMIC SAAAAAAAANS

[MegaJustGeorge]

Well, I did notice someone who only looked like then-Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe at the last, but overall, the sketch was something that only the Pythons could do - and do very well.

My caption for this would read, "All this and more - unless you vote Liberal".

Very good video, and thanks for posting, friend.

[PunkysDilema1970]

. . . "LISTEN, COWBOY, I'VE GOT A JOB TO DO. IT'S A STUPID, POINTLESS JOB, BUT AT LEAST IT KEEPS ME AWAY FROM ICELAND, ALRIGHT?!?!?". . .

[constantpoo2]

Lol, they have a cat for a doorbell..... they should've won the award

[beatlebob101]

So weird to see a sketch without John

[WaterShowsProd]

@beatlebob101 John Cleese didn't do the final series of Monty Python (which also dropped the name "Flying Circus") because he felt the third series was becoming repetitive and wanted to move on. As he was the extreme other end of the spectrum from Terry Jones that series leans far more heavily on surrealism, nonsensical and physical humour than the previous episodes.

[beatlebob101]

@WaterShowsProd I know that, i was just saying, it's odd

[WaterShowsProd]

@beatlebob101 Oh, I see. Sorry. Still, it gave more room for Terry Gilliam to perform.

[beatlebob101]

@WaterShowsProd Yeah i love gilliam he's really funny in his acting, like Patsy in the holy grail

[bowiewondergirl]

michael calls eric mum and terry dad but eric calls terry dad....O_o......oooooohhh...we­ll....

[bububububak]

Love the way Graham Chapman says "bleeding"!

[thejoechapman1]

Eric Idle is amazing.

[philsmusic1000]

it's a pain in the sphincter ha ha

[mana6793]

'Sponsored by Heart-Attacko Margarine' ha ha ha superb..and the cereal Terry Jones is eating is called 'Ano-Weet' and says on the packet 'Free Inside - The Pope' ha ha ha totally hilarious

[thejoechapman1]

How could anyone dislike this?

[IDontKnowCorp]

Almost wish these subtitles were in english, these accents are ridiculous

[spacecowboy5000]

I've been a Python fan since the day they cloned me and I've never seen this sketch. Thanks awfully for for posting this.

[rosepetal34]

Graham Chapman- comedic genius, as are all the pythons obviously just he made me explode in this segment

[devourerofbabies]

Is that Terry Gilliam on the couch?

[spacecowboy5000]

@devourerofbabies It certainly was.

[RedSandStudios]

@devourerofbabies Yeah, it is. He wasn't in many sketches. I think Terry was in there because this is from one of the final episodes, the ones that John Cleese didn't appear in.

[MrBuch169169]

Gilliam was so funny in that  xD

[dcbandnerd]

This was from the last episode, I believe. :-( 

[SangsterBoy]

5 people ran out of beans.

[WoWmiester]

@auntbecky Anyone noticed how Harry Potter looks like Michael?

[fiddlexabout]

Gilliam's character kills me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cavalierfan1995]

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEANS!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[14597ojai]

Gilliam always gets stuck as a reprobate doesn't he :D

[ctdsnark]

Who SAYS this show wasn't funny after John Cleese left?

[individualist00000]

now that funny

[saraveronica89]

the second one sounds like a family of parrots :)

[racookster]

The cat puppet embedded in the wall... LOL!

[listerone]

Python really went down hill toward the end.This stuff is really sad....

[TheJohnnyCotts]

@listerone Think it had anything to do with John Cleese not being there?

[HookedOnSonics518]

BEANS!!

[adamtzsch]

And there was a goal there, apparently.

[russinhouse]

the relevance of it 30 odd years on is uncanny !

[vef444]

A W E S O M E !

[WoWmiester]

Thumbs up if you only want this award because it is from Monty Python!!

[yogafan6500]

I wonder if that's the Palin family of Alaska you know Sarah, Bristol, etc. To us they deserve the Most Awful Family Award 2010 . BEANS!!!!!!! XDDDD

[TheTerrorUforgot]

I love the waving man at the end.

[kristell9]

Icelandic Honey Week?! My Life! Whoever designed the set for the first family is brilliant. Collapsing walls? Amazing.

[baraxor]

I've run out of BEANS!

[stimpp]

I didn't know they can't make their own honey in Iceland. Who would have thought lunacy could be so hilarious.

[goolkik232]

this is my family

[Stantzs]

oh man, PBS played this stuff all the time i was little , so i pretty much grew up with this stuff.

That was in the 90's, but I flipped to PBS last year and it was an epiosde of fawlty towers. They literally play nothing to but British comedy.

[oldaardvark]

This show was years ahead of its time.

[CapitanoGUC]

i like the sexy birt in the red skirt ...:-D

[SwindlesAndSchemes]

Oh god, that really stresses me out. Someone had to clean that up, you know.

[Gjeorje]

- 5:52 - "Fantasticky...ano, ano"

[UmpquaNation]

The father was apalling; .... Dirty, smelly and distasteful and I liked him very much.

[mrtyles]

Dad!

Huh?

No not you.

[MrHamster24]

3:47 BEANS!!!,SHUT UPPP

[auntbecky]

Has anyone noticed how Michael looks like Harry Potter?

[HenryTheDuke]

@auntbecky Who's Harry Potter ?

[SatoTM2]

@HenryTheDuke omg

[HenryTheDuke]

@zurokiar Of course I know... awesome books of F.M.Dostoyevsky and F.Kafka and

splendid movie Monty Python's Life of Brian ;-)

[Bazgann]

@HenryTheDuke  omgwtfbbq

[zincorbie]

@HenryTheDuke It's his Harry Potter, he forgot to shave it.

[Raidmasterprod]

@HenryTheDuke Hagird's gonna be very pissed off at you muggle...

[Raidmasterprod]

@HenryTheDuke Definitely the wrong answer at this current moment!

[pretorious700]

@HenryTheDuke fuck harry Potter

[cachou9409]

almost the besicles - is t not?

[MyQuesnel]

@auntbecky right away..:)

[yellowsevenxD]

Once I saw Graham Chapman.. I couldn't stop laughing! (:

[SpiderXxPirate]

9'4'' dwarf of a man indeed :P

[BB1951]

That must be Terry Gilliam bellowing for more beans. BEANS!!!

A classic bit by the Pythons.

[roblowefan1]

I feel the same when I run out of beans

[lisambofoh]

What's sad is that my great aunt's house looks exactly like that.

[RIFF0RAFF]

brilliant.

[tellyisrubbish]

"He can't eat Honey it makes Him go plop-plops!" LOL

[fannycraddock99]

Wonderful.

[hattrickster33]

reminds me of my family...and i would be john cleese in the sense that i'm not there :(

[ExodusPessoa]

@hattrickster33 that was very funny by the way.

[magalyzy]

jajajaja reaL CAT????? JAJAJAJA PUPPETT CAT JAJAJAJAJA BUT WHERE JOHN CLEESE ????

[tarlcabot18]

BEEEAAANS!

[BadUglySmelly]

SHUT UP!!!!!!! :D

[Gruntol5]

What - no John Cleese in this?

[langaa09]

yeah, its season 4, (their last season) and john decided that he'd had enough so he quit. They stopped after a couple of eposodes

[Gruntol5]

@langaa09 : I never knew that. Python without Cleese is like the Beatles without Lennon. Presumably that's why Terry Gilliam (scoffing beans) is in this.

[nohajc]

Nevertheless, there were some brilliant episodes in season four. I actually consider 4x05 Mr. Neutron to be one of the best episodes of MPFC ever. Possibly along with 4x02 Michael Ellis.

[BadUglySmelly]

Yes mr neutron was flawless

[Sviolinist]

@Gruntol5 It just wasn't part of his - hmm, what is the word? Hrm.... It wasn't part of his.... ah, idiom.

[joshhodg]

reminds me of the Kardashians lol

[esoraleak]

Yeah, I was just thinking, this is a great parody of all those stupid reality shows on now.

[foxout22]

The real doorbell-cat on 6:45!

Superb!

[thegodlessatheist]

lol, "young for his age"

[TheOnlyLMV4]

Graham Chapman. My god.

[FandPrulethesky]

I love the icelandic honey week, because graham looks so sad to be from Iceland. Makes me laugh no matter how many times i see it

[missingsydbarrett]

My Dad!

[Jafuet]

ten chapman :D

[LillyTeamRocket4evr]

"....sorry mum. "

XDDDDDD

[bastlake]

Snogging sub-committee, more like!

BEEEAANNS!

SHUT UP!!!

[floppetylove]

definitely

[jayjayno1]

This sketch really reminded me of "The Young Ones". The mother's ironing of household objects, the swinging postman and the destruction of the house...it just seemed to ooze TYO. Anyone else feel this way?

[RicardosRealm]

Spot-on. The scummy looking flat looked exactly like the early Young Ones set.

[kyrastube]

yeah, same here. but its no secret that the boys who wrote the young ones was python-fans. :) terry jones even was in one episode.

[TheBellTolls666]

also a kind of extreme sillyness was detectable from both series, most old british comedies are weird, but these two were really the most confusing ones ever made:p i noticed that when i first watched the young ones, i was thinking; my god! thats Monty Python from the eightees!

[CNNobama]

"If you must know, we was talking about Council re-housing."

"Where to re-house his right hand, that's what he was interested in!"

[roblowefan1]

..every bally drop...lmao

[OeditpusRex]

Trivia: The "Ano-Weet" bit was originally in the first draft of the script for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" (which at the time had the working title "Monty Python's Second Film.") That script bore little resemblance to the shooting script, but the lads turned bits of it into "Flying Circus" sketches. About half of episode 41, "Michael Ellis," came from that first draft.

[orrenman]

LOL! Fatty is Terry Gilliam

[why1so1serious1]

you bleedin fashist you bleedin are

language !!!!

ah well he get's on my sodding nerves

that's better xd :p

[Ruth42]

You're close but it's:

"You're a bleeding fascist you bleedin are!"

LANGUAGE""

Well he gets on my sodding wick.

That's better."

[why1so1serious1]

i was nearly there xd lol xd

[Finnishbastard]

"I think it's disgusting --- You a Member of the Parliament!"

[666uberstud666]

Chapman made me purge my choad

[jealouscardinal]

Listen closely to Idle's footy play-by-play on the soon-to-be-ironed radio at the beginning.

Other than all the Pratt stuff, he mentions other shit like - (quietly, as an aside): "well there was a goal there, apparently".

[Nicecatholicgirl]

Fazole!

[why1so1serious1]

hahaha eric idle as a woman hahahah great :d and micheal palin as a young boy :d

[Zoloft77]

Damn, I want to have a cat in the wall.

[bsl103158]

his gobbing is consistent and accurate..!~

[bsl103158]

the father was appalling...dirty, smelly, and distasteful...and I liked him very much!

[equifilibricum]

The Jodrels win every bloody year.

Administrative errors are bound to occur in enormous quantities.

[Falru]

That is one insanely shiny shirt Palin's got :p

[allanosterm]

I think the entire Young Ones series is based, at least a bit, on this little skit. Yayy Pythons!

[Zoloft77]

Eric Idle would make a great Vivian!!!

[kristell9]

Put the Kettle on! Fire Mrs. Nesbitt!

[bsl103158]

I assure you, it was of the highest standard, was it not,Lady Organs????

[bsl103158]

I think it's disgusting, and you, a member of Parliament!

I can't make up my mind about this family....!!!!!

[cecilyalgernon]

OMG... that was Graham! from behind I though that was Carol. :) Oh, Chapman, how I love him and his legs that go up to there... :D

[Devver08]

Dude! This is the same set from the Young Ones!

[mzxrules]

lol at 0:56

"Oh, there was a goal there apparently..."

[TheLogicJunkie]

Graham Chapman is brilliant, with all that trampy makeup and the screeching voice... *LOL*

[anon2999]

"sorry mum"

Palin was great in this.

[mikethefoxhog]

Ano-Weet has the best free gifts ever. xD

[StoryNClark]

probably their best sketch, post-cleese

[josephebacon]

I WANT MORE CORN BLASTERS!

[Tareltonlives]

Only if it has a free Pope inside

[wickedfeylady]

Graham looks like Jerri Blank

[tuttt99]

POSTMAAAAANNNNNNN!!!!!!

[zmslaz]

i think it is a parody on american sitcom

[pockypurse]

Haha, that's Neil Innes as the Liberal Party candidate doing the karate moves. <33333

[EndBoss187]

BEEEEEEEEEAAANS!

[mysizadek2]

monty python is the best...

[equifilibricum]

My favorite is the radio announcer doing the play by play of the soccer/football match:

"square shouldered balding giant, hair flowing in the wind. . . well there was a goal there apparently"

I don't think there's 8 minutes and 15 seconds of comedy that's more crammed full of jokes than this sketch. I love John Cleese but this has my vote for the funniest bit ever--Python or otherwise. You have to watch it at least a dozen times to see and hear all the jokes.

[HenryTheDuke]

Yes, yes.. sure.. yes, definitely ...

[bmet47]

The best post-Cleese sketch of the 4th series!

[TAC8808]

absolutely brilliant!!!!

[MPFCgal88]

This is one of my favorite sketches of the series, especially the Icelandic honey week. My favorite line is "He can't eat honey; it makes him go plop-plops!"

[theprof5]

The father eating the beans is Terry Gilliam, the one who does the animations for Monty Python.

[MPFCgal88]

Actually the father is Terry Jones, eating the Ano-wheat. We don'tknow how Terry Gilliam's related to the rest of the family. Maybe uncle or an older sibling?

[graaar]

Family pet.

[Stephie2007]

Chapman's makeup job looks creepy! Someone needed to give his makeup artist a flogging!

[HenryTheDuke]

Ha ha ... twas purposely done (I´d bet on

perfect work of Chapman himself)

[haroldbethyname]

Shut ye gob Douglas!!!!!!!

[moscowmemories]

I'd love to go have dinner with this family. But I thought the awful Judrel family from Durham won the award.

[haroldbethyname]

'Beeeeaaaaannnssss!!!' The title is misleading, that is the coolest family i've ever seen :D reminds me so much of my own..o lordy I've ruptured meself now...

Poooooostmaaaaan!!!!!!!

[drunkeneagle]

Yeah,its pretty funny.I'm not sure where it comes from?!Any other English slang words you don't understand let me know!I'm English myself:)

Glad you like Python too.Their humour is timeless.

[drunkeneagle]

"Pratt" is a slang word in England meaning something like 'idiot'.

[Pants3000]

Thanx, twas a random name I picked out several years ago.

I think Pratt is a soccer (football) player...

[Pants3000]

Ye have to listen to the radio. "This remarkable, forty-five year-old 9 foot 4 inches dwarf of a man who is still only seventeen in some parts of the world, would ever really be - oh and there was a goal there apparently..."

[Chamdar7000]

"If we lived in Rhodesia, there'd be someone to mop that up for you!" LoL!

Probably my favorite Monty Python sketch aside from the "Dead Parrot" one.

[kristell9]

THREE A.M.!!!!

[pockypurse]

Neil Innes! :D He plays the Liberal party candidate!

[DCLeadboot]

Got to love the insanity! XD

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EAAAAAANS!!!

[Truedantalion]

My oh my ... they received that award, for sure! Were the Czeck subtitles in the original program? Smells somewhat like a Monty Python joke ...

[thetwentyfourth]

The subs weren't in the original, this is obviously sourced from a Czech broadcast or release. It would be a very Python thing to do though!

[Truedantalion]

Sure does :-))))!

[Truedantalion]

... err, WOULD (oops!).
