  • No one plays the straightman like Graham Chapman <3

  • Fires happen, Colonel...things burn... XD

  • "no, sir, i'm not a pacifist, sir - i'm a coward."

    roflol best line ever

  • Reminded me of the intro of the A-team

  • If only Graham Chapman were still alive to tell the world when it's being much too silly.

  • @mustangman3000 they didn't want to end them. It was done deliberately

  • Colonel was said 17 times in this scetch

  • You got to hand it to Monty Python, they couldn't end a darn thing.

  • I know lets blackmail the army!

  • @ElimAdam In this program... watch?v=wZgwNutwK0Y&feature=re­lated

  • ...its only cus you couldn't think of a punchline

    LOVE IT!

  • Palin is particularly good in this one :D

  • the mafians didn't say colonel, they say KERNEL!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • @lancergt1000 umm, unless i'm missing some subtle joke, that's how colonel is pronounced

  • IT IS SERIOUS QUESTION:What would happen if three jokes loving guys civilians could recreate mafia sketch (down to the smallest detail) in real life in real barracks? Thank You for answer

  • o_o lamat

  • this is why the mafia have never managed to get a foot hold in this country , its just so silly !

  • @bigrider2806

    Are you so sure?

  • shut up, you eye-tie!

  • -Watkins are you a pacifist?

    -No sir, l'm not a pacifist, sir. I'm a coward.

  • @Fleshious  ha ha

  • That's a very nice military camp you've got theresSssssssS

  • @TheCGIMaster it would be a ssssssssshame if something were to happen to it

  • 0:23 sounds so familiar...

  • Comment removed

  • Fires happen colonel.

  • R.I.P. Graham!

  • 15 bob is fifteen pounds, but we don't say "bob" any more, its old fashioned

  • @JDuffmanable

    15 bob = 15 Shillings. 75 pence in modern money. 3 dollars then, about 1 dollar today.

    You must be young.

  • 15 Bob a week ? I am American and have no idea what a Bob is. Is it a British pound ? Is it several pounds ? Somewon please tell me.

  • @supremeobliterator

    old brit monetary system

    it confused me as well

  • @BENTHEMAN11 Hmm, I have a good YouTube bud who is from the U.K prohaps he can tell me what that mean.

    I know we have sayings in the U.S like a grand is $1000.00 dollers, and a C Not is a hundered doller bill. I'm sure it is something like that.

  • @supremeobliterator it's dollar not doller

  • @supremeobliterator Well, C is the Roman numeral for one-hundred so it would make sense if it was. I'm fairly certain that the more common reference is Benjamins.

  • this video is far too silly

  • A right proper British Mafia. Their wedding bands are quite impressive.

  • Stop it, all of you. this is getting very silly indeed.

  • oops

  • extroting a army base, legendary

  • 7 people didn't get a funny line

  • 'I guarantee that not a single armoured division will get done over for say...fifteen bob a week' Ha ha ha totally brilliant. One of my favourite Python sketches

  • Well, could anyone tell me, what is the punchline?

  • @Papadragon18 Sorry, you must have missed it when it was on the telly. The punchline is

  • @babypappa Oh, bugger... Is there no further punchline to this, or is that the point?

  • I think this is my favorite MP sketch.

  • GREAT ACTING!!! GREAT moment for Terry Jones!

  • 0:36 "Real guns, sir, not proper ones, sir" WHAT? :D

  • @Monaqute Not PROP ones.

  • @ReneeMontoya12 ohhhhh yes.

  • @Monaqute Eric flubbed the line but recovered quickly and kept the scene going no matter.

    

  • @Monaqute I didn't even notice before XD

  • Luigi Vercotti = Best Spiv Ever!

  • Nice video you got 'ere, Colonel... be a shame if someone was to start... dislikin' it, wouldn't it, Colonol?

  • Actually Luigi Falconi is the name of a very good friend of mine!!!

  • this is silly

  • really?

  • @EbsNhexz haha. yes. gotta love monty python:]

  • 4 people couldn't think of a punch line

  • If it was a big war, someone could get hurt!

    adorable<3

  • I love how they try to extort the guy with 7000 infantry, 600 artillery, 2 divisions of paratroops and 500 tanks under his command.

  • @darthralin IS STOPPED YOUR COMMENT 10 MINUTES AGO

  • @darthralin Yeah thats the whole idea of the sketch -.-

  • @darthralin dats da joke.

  • @darthralin He is in the military, he is a dumbass.

  • I love when they say "colonel" "

  • What does he say at 0:16? Is it British slang?

  • @RachelHC He says, "that's as may be". Just means "regardless, whatever".

  • @RachelHC He says.. In normle English (And now)..

  • No, I am not a pacifist, I am a coward! -- magnificent line

  • Comment removed

  • 0:31

    IS DANGEROUS!

  • Fings brayke dunnay?

  • I dont like self reference...it destroys the cleverness

  • "Set fire to them?"

    "Fires happen, Colonel."

  • the secound soldier that walks in, the guy from the dead parrot one, whats his name?

  • @tanyabbi

    John Cleese?

  • @tanyabbi John cleese

  • @tanyabbi Eric Idle actaully.

  • @SGRollingStone eh, no, eric idle is the 1st one to walk in, john cleese it the second also, eric idle never appeared in the dead parrot sketch i belive if he does then i need to watch it again

  • @DaGrimReaperEezEre Yeah, my bad. Sorry : )

  • The reason that gansters threaten indirectly is to maintain "plausible denilabilty" if the case were to wind up in court.

  • They are only engenious.The Mafia sketch is fantastic but he plays in the fact that the script leaves him too little funny lines.Its like a joke framed within a joke.

  • @RasMajnouni yeah self reference tactic that came with POST MODERNISM..

  • @goodbyelonglive44 I assumed it was a result of the Raphaelites.

  • 3:54 is the best part.

  • no sir I'm not a pacifist sir I'm a coward

  • "Paratroops eh Dino? It would be a shame if someone were to set fire to them..." AHAHAHA this sketch is brilliant

  • joseph heller or something? lol

  • TIME FOR THE WHAT!?

  • "Time for a cartoon", I guess. This is "meta-humour." It hasn´t got a punchline.

  • @peterikarlstad Meta-humor, possibly. More likely just another one of Python's innumerable Flying Circus non-sequitor sketch transitions.

  • I'm the senior officer here and I haven't had a funny line yet XD

  • Nobody can say "This is getting silly" like Graham Chapman

  • IT'S TIME, FOR THE

  • breaking...

  • "I'm not a pacifist sir. I'm a coward."

    Probably not much difference anyway.

  • @gregvs3

    I'd say if Hitler would've ordered you to shoot some guy and you wouldn't have done it, you would've been quite brave.

  • PROPPER GUNS SIR!!

  • Nooooooo! What's the punch line?! It's lost! What is it?!

    *small voice* ...where can I find it, please?

  • Dude, the name of this sketch is "Army Protection Racket." You could be correct in calling the two guys mafia men, but Im just telling you that this is the official name of this sketch

  • Who cares about the official name? Over the years this sketch's been called "The Army Sketch", "The Mafia Sketch", "The Army vs. The Mafia Sketch" and even "I Want to Leave the Army".

  • Perhaps you are right... I just wanted to say that

  • SET FIRE TO THEM?!

  • LOOK AFTER ME?!

  • Graham Chapman was the greatest straight man in comedy history (no pun intended).

  • lmao...timeless comedy...thx 4 posting

  • "ITS TIME, FOR THE-......."

    thats a nice ending there. O.o

  • "...-CARTOON. Cue telecine, ten, nine, eight..."

    I have the script, that's all it cut out :)

  • I'm not a pacifist, I'm a coward =D. ROFL

  • Thats a very silly line. Sit down.

    XD

  • what if we set fire to them ? hahaha

  • you cut off the punch line!!!!!

  • Will try to make another one , when I got time.

    //Jeppeline

  • thanks, but it was actually kinda funny in context=P

  • @Jeppeline Get time!

  • @catrulerofdeath There's a punchline?

  • lol love it!!! too bad they cut the end here!

  • " For the Waterskiing and the Travel Sir" ha ha...

  • If anybody could put together a compilation of the best of General Graham Chapman, that would be excellent.

  • Things burn Col.

    lol

  • fuck off with the ad

  • "And now unoccupied Britain. 1970"

    Brilliant!

  • Lush! The most sane, crazy and surreal group the Pythons. A real generation creator. Thanks you lot and all those that made it possible!!
