Monty Python - Bruce

[JimboMoans]

Haha gold. As an Australian I have to ask where have all the decent British comedies gone?

[Cassiepeia]

Hahahaha!!! Awesome. Aussies love Monty Python, they can take the piss as much as they like.

[mxgirl918]

lovely accents xD

1:19 i bet the Beeb will never allow this to be shown in re-runs ever

[sianwuvsyou]

Howls, howl of derisive laughter, Bruce

[jumperjess]

Straya Day!

[bglists]

I don't see what's so funny. That was exactly like University. Khaki shorts, no pooftahs and quoting Monty Python.

[AndrewP222]

The description is wrong, it's the University of Woolloomooloo.

[KevMacca94]

If they did this sketch nowadays, they'd cop it so bad from our politically correct media.

I love it!

[malibumonkey99]

My names bruce... LOL!!

[ReginaldMaulding]

our lord, we beseech thee, have mercy on our faculty. Amen.

[Davo7755]

Rule 4. No one is to be caught NOT drinking in their rooms after lights out.

[djbadlt]

mistreat the what?

[AndrewP222]

@djbadlt "Abos" (Aborigines)

[djbadlt]

@AndrewP222 thanks mate

[ninjareflexes]

This is the best. :D

[catus95]

So your name isn't Bruce?

No it's Michael

Well that's gonna cause some confusion

[OliByGolly1]

I'm Australian, and this sketch is spot on.

[MrBuch169169]

Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce!

[dac01]

ahhhh back in the good ol days stupid politocal correctness and pooftas

[listen2meokidoki]

@dac01 Australian pronounce it 'pootfas' just as we say 'the Prime Minista', but we always write it poofters and Minister. Ask any Bruce. Though I've scarcely ever met many Bruces. We had a Prime Minister Bruce. But that was his family name. Not the same thing. Yeah, you gunna say his real name was Bruce Bruce Bruce. But I doubt it.

[dac01]

@listen2meokidoki im sorry bruce but as a proud Aussie who speaks Strylin i can honestly say heart on meat pie i have never heard a fellow bruce prounounce it as you have written or seen it as such mayby north from my home in Melbourne they say and write things as such but then again once you leave the Victorian borders things are alway different

[diogeneslaertius666]

i spent the better part of my tenure in the Philosophy Dept. at the UofH

[diogeneslaertius666]

@diogeneslaertius666 or maybe it just Feels that way

[r00tb33r801]

G'day Bruce, g'day Bruce g' day Bruce

[BlackandWhiteDragons]

@TheBobblefighter As a proud Australian and person from Sydney, I shall say it is spelt "Woolloomooloo".

[GuitarHero5392]

Poofter=a homosexual

[Forslimjims]

@GuitarHero5392 That makes it so much clearer. Thank you Bruce.

[TheBobblefighter]

Wulamaloo should really get a university!

[darkkrenify]

merry christmas bruce

[4duff5]

I'm from Australia and I love this sketch.

[sushanalone]

I like Bruce, Bruce is loud, but i hate Bruce.

[DogTotem]

I picked up a flag just like the one on the table in the Isle of Wight (during the Admiral Cup Race) in 1973.

[blondedbythelight703]

Bruce seems like a Bully!

[TheGrungeGamer2]

No pooftas

[DaneYoussef]

They should use this skit with Fosters commercials!

Hell, these guys should just be chugging one big Fosters beer. I'm surprised they're not just throwing boomerangs at each other. They should have a pet Koala. No one can get away with the broadest stereotypes the way the Pythons can--their stuff is always the deadliest of funny.

[wookiewhat]

@DaneYoussef nobody in australia drinks fosters

[characteravatar]

Rule six...there is no rule six!

[happinesson]

Rule six....The best faculty rule ever!

[MrFraserFilms2009]

Reminds me of my schooling years.

My teacher Bruce, could be a bit of an arse whilst my other Teacher, Bruce, inspired me to be the man I am today.

Who wants some bush tucker?

[MrHariwulfaz]

Were all Bruce!!!

[Animalcrossing95]

rule six- THERE IS NOOO.RUUULE.SIX!

XD!!!

[profssrfunk]

rule 6 there is no rule 6

[HuntForWaffles]

SHES A GOOD SHEILA BRUCE!

[niriop]

@CrocodileBurgers Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle

[Imalovleytroll]

Thumbs up if your name is Bruce

[youngian]

Is this where David Cameron got his impersonation practice from?

[clumpft]

It's true, we're all called bruce.

[bruce11121314]

Bane of my life.

[fmpyoyoqueen93]

Is this from Meaning of Life or Flying Circus?

[Animalcrossing95]

@fmpyoyoqueen93 flying cirus :)

[AndrewP222]

@fmpyoyoqueen93 It's from an episode of "Monty Python's Flying Circus"

[malelion]

This is absolutely mad. Absurd and somehow obscure. Usually Eric Idle is the one who always ramble fluently, but John Cleese can be a really arse without being too aggresive.

[thecadaver33]

Mah name is Bruce :D!

[feddetinga]

Rule 6: THERE IS NO RULE 6!!! OMG fucking genius

[owen82100]

@coxa100 except for the big 10% of us -.-

[owen82100]

I love this except for all the homophobia... Making us look bad and feel bad.

[vonbontee]

@owen82100 Dunno quite what you mean...they're clearly RIDICULING homophobia - Graham Chapman co-wrote this sketch, after all! He surely wouldn't have approved of serious homophobia. (Not unless it was really, really funny!)

Always loved this wonderfully pointless sketch, all but Cleese's delivery of the "...maltreat the Abbos in anyway whatsoever, if there's anyone watching" line-he should've paused a bit before going on to Rule 3. As it is, the way he did it, the punchline kinda got buried.

[boggedmaffus]

@owen82100 do you even know who Graham Chapman IS?

[DDDMaster2]

god i love these funny mr bean sketches :D

[Chrissie373]

i live in Australia ;D

[odizzido]

even the women are named bruce in Australia

[chrissomerry]

Philosophy department, LOL!

[workingclassbum]

My favorite documentary about Australian life. Other than mad max 2 of course.

[BiigiZBaK]

New Bruce are you a poofter?

[xITzzAnDyx]

Bruce OUT!!!!!!!!!

[FrancoHitlini]

Life was nightmare for Bruces after this sketch went out lol

[sjmww1235]

Over here we find your American beer is a little like making love in a canoe.

Making love in a canoe?

It's fucking close to water

[DeMause]

The prayer bit is so accurate. I went to an Australian Church of England school and that is how every instance of religion went. Even the religious people rushed through it as quick as they could.

[NewShimmer]

It's interesting that they had Graham ask "Are you a poofta?" as Graham was barely in the closet at the time and was out of the closet by the late 70's.

[Cmac636]

I'm Australian and I love this

[billkasperdotcom]

Amen! (crack tubes)

[coxda100]

Im from Australia. We don't welcome pooftas.

[kamalolz1]

@coxda100  i do

[coxda100]

@kamalolz1 Jokes

[thexalon]

"I told him that he's welcome to teach any of the great socialist thinkers, provided he makes it clear that they were wrong." Brilliant.

[bobob4477]

Those were pretty much the accepted rules for Australia back in that time... We have not come very far at all since then. Bruce!

[pearlearring17]

howls! howls of derisive laughter!

[AgerBoniard]

And which one of them is the Australian Batman?

[rockingrabbit98]

I didn't catch the guy who was sitting down's name again.

[SRAneedsausername]

lol this was awesome.

[zazzyo101]

how can people not like this i mean im ausie and this dosent ofened me it was probly pholoserphers

[listen2meokidoki]

I was in Johannesburg in 1984 and someone asked me, in a loud tone of voice THANK YOU VERY MUCH, if my name was BRUCE. I had no bloody idea what he was going on about. Now, FINALLY in the year of our Lord 2011 I discover it. God I've been so ignorant all these years. BTW, Australians don't behave that way any more. We're now all muslims.So we no longer drink alcohol & we go to the ballet at the Sydney Opera house twice a week. Well, some of us go to the ballet. Personally I like a liqueur or 2

[HelenaVanCity]

@listen2meokidoki Your name is certainly Bruce then))))) BTW, what kind of philosophy d'you teach, Bruce? LOL

[listen2meokidoki]

@HelenaVanCity Whenever someone is stressed & upset with life, I always tell them: "You have to be philosophical about it. Don't give it another thought". But my personal philosophy follows everything written, in the novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams where the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, & Everything was calculated by an enormous supercomputer over a period of 7.5 million years was found to be 42. Now go Wiki "Number 42" not just "42" 4 more!

[HelenaVanCity]

@listen2meokidoki I'm so gonna read this book!

And your "You have to be philosophical about it. Don't give it another thought" made me howl with derisive laughter))) Wish I could be like that, instead of freaking out about things... Thanks a lot, Bruce!))) G'day, mate!

[wookiewhat]

@listen2meokidoki i dont really understand the muslim thing, but if you're making a satirical jibe at how the media portrays muslims as "creeping across australia taking our jobs" i guess you've done some excellent work

[listen2meokidoki]

@wookiewhat No. I was just looking at it logically,as we Australians do,from time to time considering the social complexity that besets the Australian social scene,what with our classless society.I was just joking using the extreme opposite to emphasise the relevant reality.That's what it would take to stop us getting drunk whenever we could, I expect.You see, living in the Out-Back light years away from the rest of the world & demanding a fair slice of the cake (govt. spending) = oblivious.

[wookiewhat]

@listen2meokidoki I'm going to use my tentative Aussie spirit and thus cannot be fucked reading your comment

[listen2meokidoki]

@wookiewhat Clearly you speak in riddles. I on the other hand speak plainly. Though usually ironically. I imagine the typical Norweegan male is totally intact and as such feels it is a symbol of national pride. BUT, it need not stay that way. We of British decent have long practiced the hygenic male circumcision. Therefore we don't FEAR the muslim hoards. We welcome them as brothers. And sisters. And what do you mean by Aussie SPIRIT? Or the spirit of Australia? Is it extreme egalitarianism?

[frankiestrummer]

@listen2meokidoki Your obviously haven't been to Frankston recently bro

[slitor]

@listen2meokidoki Sorry but...you seem to be very much alike Bruce.

[listen2meokidoki]

@slitor So you calling me a poofter? Or are you asking me if my name is Bruce or Brucy? Well my full name is Brucious Bruce Brucstus of Bruceville, QLD. My friends just call me Bruce for short. I saves a lot of mucking about when it come to introductions.

[slitor]

@listen2meokidoki Might be the Muslamic hoarde comming to rape your abbos thing.....or its because your a Poofter hard to tell.

[listen2meokidoki]

@slitor Well, firstly, I'm surprised a find Norhweegan who talks & speaks the way you do. 2. The word is Abo not Abbo. ABO is short for Australian ABOriginal. 3. The word is a bad word. Using that word is tantamount to racial vilification. It is also wrong & in Australia, using the word derogatority is a criminal offence. I will tell the federal police to arrest you if you dare come to MY Country & you're probably not even circumcised. Everyone knows Muslims are coming to circumcise Norway! Ha!

[slitor]

@listen2meokidoki Funny, Its not muslims with scissors thats been causing a ruckus in Norway its people thats deathly of afraid of mussies with scissors.

Oh, and weren't I the PC one...what are you doing citing PC laws at me...thats my job....Bruce.

[nessingwary]

@listen2meokidoki I should point out that abbo is indeed the correct spelling as far as the insult goes. While the words aboriginie and aboriginal only have one b, the insult abbo uses two. As far as I'm aware, this helps represent the correct pronounciation of the term. An a-boe instead of the ab-or pronounciation in the previous words.

[listen2meokidoki]

@nessingwary I can see through your little game. You think you can just jump in here and bandy about the insult. Well, ABBO is definitely not correct. You are making it up. ABO is. Besides, you will not find the insulting abbreviation on the Internet. Wiki, Oxford & Webster don't mention it. And BTW, AboriginIE is also wrong. Aborigine is correct. My family will become Aussie Abos in say 10,000 years. Then, they too can call themselves proud Australian Aboriginals. Maybe 1000 years.

[Davo7755]

@listen2meokidoki According to the Macquarie Australian Slang Dictionary your spelling is correct. I believe the the derogatory insult is spelt ABBA. Bwahahaha. Although I was under the impression that Indigenous Australians is the prefered term.

[SteelTheStoic]

Sounds a lot like David Ogden Stiers's fake Beantown accent.

[cbfdxbxsb]

@poorsod2 Americans have become a much bigger joke as of late

[blondedbythelight703]

Broom Hilda brought me here!

[cavs608]

i think the 35 people who disliked this video got confused when he said his name was michael lol

[DeadNorwegianBlue]

We're all Bruces here. Except for those 35 poofters

[steeltribe16]

there is NO RULE SIX

[BoonofTzeentch1]

i'm gonna call my son bruce.

[TheAssassinChief]

@BoonofTzeentch1  im gunna call my daughter Bruce

[tdkzero]

35 people are pooftas

[AceTracer]

I've been hanging out with a bunch of dudes with the same name as me, and when there's one person without our name I say "So your name's not Bruce then?" AND NOBODY GETS IT. ARG.

Sad story, bro.

[yashamaruism]

Bloody Nigel!!!!!

[psycombine]

Bruce, you're drunk.

[yoursuchagoodguy]

I seem to recall this skit also had the drunken philosophers' song.

"... and Rene Descartes was a drunken fart

who was just as sloshed as Hegel."

[AndrewP222]

@yoursuchagoodguy Only in their live shows.

[AngelBiLove]

Next time anyone mentions Australia to me, i swear ill stand upa nd go

AUSTRALI AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA WE LOVE YOU AMEN

lol

[AngelBiLove]

It's to avoid confusion, you see.

[jaysteeny]

I remember I once went around for an entire week calling everybody Bruce. Good times, good times...

[AngelBiLove]

@jaysteeny if i actually went out and talked to other humans, id so do that x)

[TheSteelyMan]

AH YOO A POOFTAH? >:C

[AngelBiLove]

@TheSteelyMan sthat mean gay? never was sure

[TheCountCrumpet]

is it just me or does new bruce look like gordon brown

[drjohnswilkins]

I'm an Australian philosopher and I can tell you pooftas are now permitted.

[PhantomAct]

Fuck Apple, it can shove its iPad up its own arse...

[Cassssindra]

Our lord we beseech thee have mercy on our faithful tea? lol

[tarmail]

@Cassssindra

have mercy on our faculty I think.

[RottenRroses]

My name is also Bruce.

[WiggaMachiavelli]

NO POOFTERS.

[TheJohnsonsOfficial]

hahahahah this is so brilliant im australian and its strangely accurate

[MrAwesome3276]

"Is your name not Bruce then?"

-"No, it's Michael."

"That's going to cause a little confusion, how about we just call you Bruce?"

[This1sS0Stup1d]

Love the fact that they say "No poofters" with Graham Chapman in the skit. That guy had a healthy sense of humor.

[bastlake]

Mal-treat the what??

[blackhawk5421]

@bastlake Maltreat the abbos. Short for aboriginals.

[bastlake]

@blackhawk5421 Oh dear.

[papoj1PVR]

No poofters!

[glassaghman]

rule 6 --- no rule 6

[coenpat]

new bruce are you a poofta

[georgia00ful]

as an aussie palin has the best accent !! loves it.

[mrdan7121]

beer beer beer beer-diddly

beer beer beer beer-diddly

beer beer beer beer-diddly

[Bill01012000]

Gold !!!!!

[nicoegebak]

32 people aren't called Bruce

[hobsquabble]

Lol, I could see ANU being like this. Canberra... Haha

[P1votG33k]

My favorite character in this sketch is probably Bruce.

[SephieRothe]

@P1votG33k You really think hes better than Bruce? I have to disagree with you if you do.

[dondude69]

@P1votG33k No you're mistaken, it's Bruce!

[karnubawax]

John Cleese reminds me of Tony Grieg

[metallipwn]

@dave2806 and you lost it just like all the other ones (lol US is lol @ u)

[dave2806]

Australia is my favourite colony , always has been !

[marknickelgreatjob]

Go drink your warm brown beer you poofters! AMERICA LIKES IT GOLD AND COLD.

[Davo7755]

@marknickelgreatjob With no carbs OR alcohol. Yez should stick to milk.

[mijofitz]

If only my professors could be like this

[igotnoideawhattoput]

Rule number 1: no poofters

Rule number 2: refer to rule number 1.

[ejay1118]

Wasn't there a version of this that had the beer drinker's song at the end?

[HaggisMcCrablice]

"Rule three: no poofters." Ironically, in the early days of comics, "Bruce" was considered a gay name...that's why The Hulk's alter-ego had his first name changed to "David".

@ejay1118-- The one on the "Matching Suit and Tie" album included The Philosopher's Song...I don't know if the troupe ever performed it live, though.

[ejay1118]

@HaggisMcCrablice ~ Yeah, I remember that now. I thought the clips from "Matching Tie and Hank" were from the show, not re-done just for the record. Now I have to go re-buy it!

Thanks.

[Davo7755]

@HaggisMcCrablice Live at Hollywood bowl I reckon.

[necro101]

32 dislikes from 32 poofters!

[asbosaurus]

new bruce... 'are you a poofta?'...

[bazzamataz72]

SO the question remains why are we conversing about beer when the topic is the Monty Python Bruce Sketch...... i grew up on Python and have difficulty finding another comic group more talented .

[bazzamataz72]

Americans dont make beer they just make waterd down possum piss, they talk a big game about being big drinkers but theyve been brought up drinking on training wheels

[NavryVoj]

@bazzamataz72 brilliant point of view :D

[huskydliner609]

@bazzamataz72 couldn't agree more. Assholes and douchebags drink cheap domestic beer like Budweiser and Coors. Real beer drinkers spend more on the imports because it's actual beer. I'm one of the latter

[ejay1118]

@huskydliner609 ~ Beer tastes like something died in the water. Imported beer tastes like something died in the water and dragged in a few twigs and some dirt along with it.

[Dgoosh1000]

There is nooo... rule 6!



[ejay1118]

@Dgoosh1000 ~ I remember for years anytime someone posted a list of things, #6 would be "there is no #6."

[CdnFossilDiscovery]

Canada's largest mosasaur is named "Bruce" because of this skit! It's a tremendous story to tell our visitors!!

Come and see "Bruce" at the Canadian Fossil Discovery Centre in Morden, MB.

[MsPwain]

The "Bruces Philosophers Song" is for afters.

[AuzzieBoredguy]

I don't like poofters and I'm Australian
