John Cleese, Michael Palin,Dawn French -The Argument Clinic

[MadonnaImperia]

This is a great sketch! I can't help feeling that the argument has been inspired by the utterly childish way certain politicians communicate with each other ;)

[Monaqute]

1:53 ---> oh god

[Kailoa36]

"... lengthy, moist rogering" ???

[Gareth7685]

No it isn't

[jnjbaggott1]

@Gareth7685 yes it is

[Charapova100]

John cleese + Michael Palin = EPIC COMEDY :)

[MisterLister68]

I disagree, it is just the same without Graham Chapman (AKA. start of an arguemnt).

[lanpingpug]

It's a shame Chris Langham turned out to be a Paedophile.

[trouper3]

@lanpingpug

It's a shame you didn't get your facts right - Chris Langham served several months in jail for downloading child porn. He is certinly not a paedophile,

[lanpingpug]

@trouper3 It's a small step from looking at child porn to actually wanting to see a child naked. Anyway, he'll never work in TV again and that's good enough for me.

[trouper3]

@lanpingpug

"It's a small step from looking at child porn to actually wanting to see a child naked".

Sorry, didn't realise you were an expert in paedophilia. Obviously you've investigated child porn very thoroughly.

[lanpingpug]

@trouper3 Well, my BA and my MA in psychology and my work at various prisons with sex offenders mean I'm pretty clued up about these things. But what do I know? It's only been my life's work.

[trouper3]

@lanpingpug In that case I am even more suprised by your unprofessional comments.

[lanpingpug]

@trouper3 Well, considering I'm on the Internet, on a site that shows just about anything ever captured on film, talking to a man named "trouper3", I choose to express my own, rather than a strictly professional view.

[cluedo1]

I miss Graham Chapman...

[MoveOverCasanova]

and where is "leopard of the yard" from the "silly sketch without a proper punchline" -division ))

[pinkyellowblackred]

noooooo this is a flying circus skit make dont do it again

[PollyJuice]

Chris Langham isn't half as good as Graham Chapman.

[OrontesRM]

well, mike and john are great as always, but now I want to watch the version with graham...

[Shadow07Warrior1989]

This could never be anything but hilarious. I am a little upset that they guy in Graham's spot kind of messed up the one line ending with pervert, but it's still pretty funny either way. I really wish Graham Chapman hadn't died, he was a real comedy genius, may his soul rest in peace.

You rock Graham Chapman!

[strangerinwhite]

I agreed

[watayapupuya]

@Shadow07Warrior1989 How can I "rock Graham Chapman"?

[Shadow07Warrior1989]

@watayapupuya Not to be mean, but you as a person were never mentioned in my comment so you really have no business asking such a moronic question. Your literary skills need work. Had I put a comma after the word "you", then I suppose it could be taken as me talking to whomever read the comment. However, seeing as I did not place a comma, there is no implication of me speaking to the reader. I'm simply complementing Chapman. If you'd like to argue then go ahead and respond. If not, then goodbye.

[OeditpusRex]

@Shadow07Warrior1989 Well... no. A comma after "You" would make no sense in that sentence. If your intent was to declare that Graham Chapman rocks as if you were speaking directly to him, the proper place for a comma would be after "rock." As it stands, you *are* telling someone to rock Graham Chapman. However, since "You" is ambiguous in this context, watayapupuya was indeed presumptive in posing the question.

I trust this explanation further confounds the issue. :hat tip:

[Shadow07Warrior1989]

@OeditpusRex It does indeed slightly confound the issue but at least I can respect your argument on the subject. Well played OeditpusRex, well played.

[OeditpusRex]

@Shadow07Warrior1989 And to you, good sir. :hat tip part deux:

[cottagechskitty]

They never lost that wonderful chemistry, did they?

[hrbrox]

OMG! I WANT TO GO THERE!!!

[rory09]

No getting hit on the head lessons?

[LongLiveOx]

Michael...mmmm :-) Such a hottie.

[tenofivelips]

@LongLiveOx I know right. I'm 41 & I've had a crush on Michael since I was 16. He seems like an absolute doll.

[earthmother]

classic!!

[KulaAShaker]

i could be arguing in my spare time..haha amazing

[MaddTopHatter]

priceless

[Miichael1217]

ahaha thats amazing and my second name is langham tooo aha :P

[malibudollparts]

michael i LOVE you :):)

[igottaexplain]

i actually come from a country where regular encounters with the state bureaucracy look like this

[silarnon]

England? :-)

[hobobuckettre69]

If you're speaking of America, it does resemble a DMV situation, doesn't it?

If you're not speaking of America and you come here... avoid the DMV at all costs. Bastard paper pushers thrive on ruining your day.

[trublgrl]

I think my favorite line in this sketch is:

"I told you once."

It's like the world stops for one moment.

[dfarmbrough]

And Chris Langham - let's not forget him!

[keithmoon90]

ahaha gd choice with dawn french, the funniest comedien apart from jo brand

[greenmama1218]

I love this clip!! HAHAHA!

[cocochanelleke]

No you don't.

[oyagain]

what a brilliant first line to a sketch XD

[LillSenorita]

No it isn't.

[BellaSparrow]

lol i bet john and michael hardly even had to rehearse...awesome sketch! :D

[natali20023]

It's just not the same without Graham... :(

[NUTCASE71733]

YAY! DAWN FRENCH!!!

[IamConnorMacLeod]

Chapman's replacement doesn't hold a candle to The Colenel.

[communiqation]

Michael and John look great.

[weenyone]

That's Chris Lang

[cocochanelleke]

No they don't.

[Boonanzar]

It's interesting to note that John Cleese is not as fiery even back then compared to the Hollywood bowl rendition of the skit. Still got the magic though!

[campag1979]

Dawn looks fantastic!

[smalltalkNchips]

i feel sorry for them, having to do the sketch without graham...:(

[suhaili]

i love it how john cleese say "thank you!".

[youvebeenthunderstru]

This was just before Graham Chapman died, which explains his absence from the sketch, and also explains why Palin and Cleese are looking depressed.

[thebritish25]

Which was was Graham was it the short one ??

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Well, no. Graham was 6'2" I believe.

[thebritish25]

Humm What did Graham look like ??

[StoliDassah]

Tall, Blonde, Was King Arthur and Brian.

[OrontesRM]

ah - I didn't see it's from 1989 - they *really* look depressed ...

[lucynaribola]

GREAT!!! I love to see them this in different performances, they're brilliant... missed Graham at the beginning though...

[freeindeed7]

Thanks! I've never seen this performance before. They did great!

[4kisch]

Terrific !!! never seen this one before.

[ash180587]
