Monty Python's Flying Circus - Musical Mice

[Godzilla52]

0.12 - 0:16 Brad Pitts Fight Club Laugh

[donkwich]

Lol did the BBC have them interrupt him the way they had people interrupt the undertaker's sketch

[MrIndieguitar]

E# is F

[LeoDLuffy]

Simply wonderful

[betterfly97]

the last few seconds are the best part.....i choked laughing

[Hemley1]

This is Gadget Hackwrench's 1st appearance.

[hiraikotsuember]

I love Michael Palin's laugh in the beginning XD

[3rdsnowleopard]

FUCK YOU, PETA!!!

[OlaNaTungee6]

palin is just gorgeous

[joshaf26]

This may be one of my favorite Michael Palin caricatures.

[Dodo251]

E sharp? There is not E sharp.

[homerpalooza101]

@Dodo251 It exists, it's just usually called F. Sometimes when writing music, though, the chord calls for an E sharp rather than an F. (Same goes with B sharp and C, or F double sharp and G)

[masticina]

Ah so that is where the sketch in the muppet show came from. But I must say it is lovely music!

[ReinforceZwei009]

gwad.... THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY.

[SweetSweetWaldo]

On the Mouse Organ, I give you The Bell's of St. Mary's!

[Idude893]

I'm suing Monty Python for nearly making me die laughing hysterically.

[CitizenAngel]

Lol Great Sketch It's surreal comedy at it's best!

[Imaeaturface]

O.O Oh my god...those poor mice!!!

[atlachanacha]

my toughs during the video

1:05=> ok, how d you play "mice"

1:14=> dear lord no, he's not

1:20=>(halfway crying, halfway laughing) oh my god

[young5ever]

The squeaking kills me with laughter, who might that be?

[WhiteDragonDude24]

So FUCKING HILARIOUS XD

[EdTheGringo]

This is in my opinion Terry Jones at his best.. so devoted mouse smashing :) - im not the biggest fan of Terry cos i think he tries a bit too much.. The other pythons are in my opinion impossible to compare..

[typacsk]

He's still got some classic moments--like the Crunchy Frog sketch.

[fob1012er]

This is so funny.

[Thedragonsisters]

He's so evil! Still funny though...

[anon2999]

Is that how Brits think we sound? >.>

[Dirker27]

keep in mind the time period this was made in.

also, in all fairness, we think they sound damned hillarious as well.

[drahoop]

true they do have funny accents.

[supun]

Love it.

Plus it's based on a real organ, the "cat piano" created by Athanasius Kircher. A organ that would stab cats in the tail to make them scream.

[NestorV]

P.e.t.a.'s favorite skit.

[Kemonokami]

Oh my gawd, STOP HIM!!

[D70Dug]

This was funny as hell when I first saw it in 1972

It is still a crack up !

[AntonISAHOTT]

Funny as hell

[joanofnarc]

E sharp and G, ! way too funny and over 40 yrs old, genius.

[MadDogBV]

How about "Musical Dachshund Puppies"? (Oh, God, I'm sick.)

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Three-Blinded White Mice was my personal favorite, but this was still fucking funny.

[onlyhopp]

this vid rules

[LarcenTyler]

No mice were harmed in the making of this segment, ladies and gentlemen. But it's still a funny segment!

*is then the victim of several large mice banging on his head with mallets while humming The Bells of St. Mary's*

[onlyonfriday05]

OMG! I just realized the muppets did this same scetch on the Muppet Show. I think they called theirs the muppetphones.

[Darkryu75]

I cried from laughing so hard

[hpnerd5000]

poor mice

[conorsola]

mp's sick. and this is the grat in it. they dare what others consider to be odd and mad... i think.and i also love mice!^_^

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

uhh you know those arent real mice, and imagine a mouse coming into your room and chewing up everything? they are extremely cute, but pests as well. Im not saying us them as an instrument..but..

[conorsola]

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

[conorsola]

*but she exploded them!*

[ryntreat]

I Thought He Make It All The Way!

[Gned11]

Delightful silliness. The grim determination in his humming gets me every time.

[a05aafzul]

still prefer cleese! anyway this is sooo funny

[dragonessresa]

Am I the only one who thinks its funny that he said E sharp when there is no E sharp?

[abstractthreat]

No, that caught me as well. Hehe.

[fuxoft]

Actually, there IS E sharp, as well as there is F flat etc. as any composer tells you... However, it's pointless to use these names when talking about physical keyboard, that's true...

[KellyLCrutcher]

I'm a major Monty Python fan. I have mixed feelings about this sketch. Could someone answer a question for me please: 'Is it possible to like a skit and hate it at the same time?' I like the skit, but I'm an animal lover and I also think it's kind of sick.

[GrahamChapman]

Yes, it's possible... I know since I have the very same dilemma... Now, what you and I REALLY need to question ourselves is: Do we hate humans? There are no mixed feelings about their other skits, right?

[lunsj]

It's precisely because it's sick that it's funny. I love when you hear Cleese shouting from the audience "Someone stop him!" But yea as someone else pointed out do you have any mixed feelings about sketches in which a human being is hurt/killed? I mean in fun of course :-)

[dndn1011]

heh is it any more sick than the "How not to be seen" Sketch?

[Merato]

I love it!!! Gosh! I haven't seen Monty Python in ages and this is one of my favorites!!! I love how he hum's when hitting the mice and jsut keeps hitting them no matter what!^o^!

[iloveasiangirls]

i'm so depressed, knowing that no one else will ever be as funny as these guys. i wish american sketch comedy would drop all the gross out humor and reach the same level monty python's flying circus did but its a longshot. ):

[gothicducks]

I agree in the fullest! I just did a book on monty python for my english class.

[ChiudiLaPorta]

a book? :)

title? editor??? I want it !!!!

[ChiudiLaPorta]

A book? :)

Title? publishing company? I want it!!!

[DaaeB]

Oh Michael is great :D

[Lemmy15]

Mike's cheesy American accent = <3
