Monty Python - Court Scene

[VitoseGG]

1:59 I have to practice that gesture!

[bgdancer100]

No further questions, m'lud.

Funniest bit EVER!

[stosh21]

Just realized Graham Chapman plays a man and a woman in this sketch

[withalittlehelpfrom3]

WITH A RUB-DUB-DUB & A SCRUB-A-DUB-DUB I'D SING THIS VERY SONG!!!

[stitch99]

I just realized he's playing a lawyer here just like in A Fish Called Wanda.

[AmadeusKing]

Ms. Fiona Lewis sure looks a lot like Inspector Dim (wink wink nudge nudge)

[charlie12102]

@ 7:50 I'll get me coat....

[Amobb481]

Oui...and now, on BBC 3, Dim of the Yard!

[Pennywisea]

Apart from The Spanish Inquisition, this has to be my favorite skit.

[abchandler4]

Cardinal Richelieu lol :D

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Not all that funny this one

[benhorinfreedom]

no, he is not completly dead, no.. but he is not at all well".. lol"

[fishhead06]

Brilliant

[Kbillyssupersounds87]

..WITH A RUBBA-DUB-DUB,

AND A SCRUBBA-DUB-DUB...!!!

[heliogabalus227]

1:35, 1:58, 2:14 - Cleese Face.

[kenns9]

From where is Eric's speech from?

[iisthedude07]

"I sure did that thing" has become a staple part of my everday vocabulary

[cuttock]

LOVE Eric's tribute to Sir Lawrence Olivier.

[TheKenfig]

4 an 6 a pound and im with a wooden leg....what with er womb....

[williamscottwork]

What frees the prisoner in his lonely cell, chained within the bondage of rude walls, far from the owl of Thebes? What fires and stirs the woodcock in his springe or wakes the drowsy apricot betides? What goddess doth the storm toss'd mariner offer her most tempestuous prayers to? Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

[williamscottwork]

M'Lord, freedom is a state much prized within the realm of civilized society. (slips into Olivier impression) It is a bond wherewith the savage man may charm the outward hatchments of his soul, and soothe the troubled breast into a magnitude of quiet. It is most precious as a blessed balm, the saviour of princes, the harbinger of happiness, yea, the very stuff and pith of all we hold most dear.

[StrangerForever85]

HAHAHAHA!!! RUBBER CHICKEN KNIGHT ATTACK!!!

[stewux]

" ...well they do don't they, I mean you can't can you.... " Oh Graham , I'm almost in love with you haha, that monologue was pure genius!

[quizmaster85]

8:08 - !!

[gothichyppie]

Michael Palin absolutely kills me everytime! OUI!

[bakooi]

"So Mrs Harris said, she said, she said, the dead crab she said, she said."

[TheKenfig]

@bakooi Lol, this keeps me sane in 2011

[pantherpatty]

who said that the english can't be funny

[russinhouse]

@pantherpatty indeed ! who said that ? i've been laughing at me for 50 bleeding years.

[fullfist]

Is Eric's freedom speech from some literary work?

[LetheSoda]

@BlahBlahYouWho Then your parents loved you very much and were awesome.  Never believe otherwise.

[mickeymoose1001]

Ahh 240p how I missed you

[phantomphan77]

John Cleese's graceful dance at the end is my favorite part

[FireEyedMaidOfWar]

The Pythons have outdone themselves once more: Alone the pathetic plea for freedom is beyond their usual comical mastery but the appearance of Cardinal Richelieu is amazing! When the Pythons were around it was obviously quite proper to show one’s knowledge on topics like art or history instead of making boast of one’s ignorance in these matters as many people tend to do today. While being a professional Cardinal Richelieu impersonator must be a good trade for sure.

[alonmerlin]

"sorry i am late me lad i could not find a kosher car park"

PRICE LESS!

[comanchio1976]

For me, the Graham Chapman/woman character wasnt so much comedy as a trip down memory lane, that was almost exactly what my mum was like...only my mum made even less sense.

[JimmyLeeVanDePutte]

Hilarious!!!

[jokr8790]

"Its only a bloody parking offense."

[Reepz00]

I love this sketch, but I'm really not used to Jonesy being the serious one.

[Papadragon18]

Eeew... Slutty Richeleu...

[KetOoKa889]

In the 70's, chicken slap= pwnage.

[RickDougall]

"I couldn't find a kosher carpark." LOLOLOLOL!

[RickDougall]

One of Graham Chapman's finest moments. Great monologue - does anyone know if it was scripted or improvised? Genius either way :-)

[JohnLennonLover9]

Micheal is so funny and good at voices XD

[Monaqute]

"None of your smart answers ... you think you're so clever. Well, I'm Dim."

[declantheamazing]

"Im Inspector Dim"

??

Dim

of the

Yard!

[Hastarl]

A kosher carpark?

I didn't notice that before :D

[cromicus]

they're not even DIVORCED!!

[alexm5488]

Is there any relevance in questioning the deceased??

[2008Sameoldfitup]

roy west

[Neosaintjimmy]

CURSE YOU, INSPECTOR DIM!

[owg59]

"It's only a bloody parking offense." LOL

[TheEntryCode]

"He's not completely dead, but he's not at all well." xd

[Kimmypage44]

...I don't like the sound of his liver!!!

[tatersalad814]

" I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so anyway, I said to her, I said, they can't afford that on what he earns, I mean for a start the feathers get up your nose, I ask you, four and six a pound, and him with a wooden leg, I don't know how she puts up with it after all the trouble she's had with her you-know-what, anyway it was a white wedding much to everyone's surprise, of course they bought everything on the hire purchase, I think they ought to..." (too long)

[thrumymind]

he's not dead yet!!

[akhilasraya]

never seen this one before.f*cking funny

[Sparkz49]

It's official. I'm becoming a window washer.

[sitithesecond]

This is brilliant, one of the few MP sketches I haven't seen! THANK YOU!

[tatersalad814]

I love just how well Graham portrays the batty old woman.

Fucking classic.

And now... NO. 1

The Larch

[Soilwar]

I somehow love how the knnnniggghettt sits down as well before finally slapping Cleese with a chicken.

[1keithbutler]

"Dim of the yard" lol, comedy genious

[MrBradipo73]

is eric's speech taken from some literary work?

[WiccanHighPriest0]

fucking excellent memory of lines at the start :)

[toluron18]

this video was to clever for 14 naughty people

[DawnScholar]

What is with the man in the suit of armor and the chicken?

[aduffyguy]

Well I didn't expect the Spanish inquisition.

[raptormaster666]

@aduffyguy (Alright, I'll do it)

*bursts in* NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition, Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our *four*...no... *Amongst* our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.”

Happy?

[aduffyguy]

@raptormaster666 Yes very XD

[AlmightySphroth]

@raptormaster666 It's only a bloody parking offense.

[kell1425]

@aduffyguy NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

sorry I wanted to do that all though history class, we're talking about the spanish inquisition

[762full]

1:07-1:11 what the hell did he say?

[wrdlbrmft]

@762full he's late coz he couldn't find a kosher car park

[762full]

@wrdlbrmft Holy shit how long ago was this? If you made a joke like that in the US or Canada you'd get sued blind and alienated.

[kell1425]

@762full my dad says 1970's

oh and there british not american

[WiccanHighPriest0]

@762full yeah, we know about them not having a sense of humour in North America

[sitithesecond]

@762full good lord, this is COMEDY. Er ... not to be taken seriously. Ha ha. Okay??

[electrojatin]

5:07 The guy in the background looks like Bill Maher.

[wollin20]

Cardinal de Richelieu in pink is hilarious!

[happylmc]

yay, I love the night with the dead chicken! We gave my dad a rubber chicken for christmas and he has been wandering arround with it for the past few days and bopping us if we say anything he finds odd. With my sibilings and my own sence of humor, it has been a very odd week.

[RasMajnouni]

@happylmc That's the sign of a great family! I like how "Cardinal" Richelieu is supposedly French but talks likesome jerk from California.

[Setebos]

"Professional Cardinal Richelieu Impersonator".  I'd love to put that down on a resume or income tax form.

[mangobanna]

"Curse you, inspector Dim. You are too clever for us naughty people."

[superlou1s]

Cardinal Richelieu? Thanks to history class this was twice as funny XD

[joshaf26]

All of their court scenes are so bloody brilliant.

[JacobDoomGuy1994]

7:37 - 7:49 John Clesese's dancing after everyone stopped singing. Classic.

[signorellil]

Actually, it occurred to me that "strange, damnable, almost diabolic threads of this extraordinary tangled web of intrigue" is a precise description of my parking tickets!

[signorellil]

Parking offence? Schmarking offence! Call Cardinal Richelieu!

God, I would love to have Cardinal Richelieu coming to testify about my parking tickets!

[blorgensteen]

"It's only a bloody parking offence" - brilliant :)

[zachtimes2]

O my i have had such a morning in the high court......

[saraveronica89]

"..they're not even DIVOOORCED!" :D

[bombic85]

a-ha! he fell for my little trap...

[FrodothePuppet]

Where were the "Silly Police" to break up the strange sketch?

[WoWmiester]

"Sorry, I couldnt find a couture car park." LOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!

[AndyR2009]

@WoWmiester

I think he said he couldn't find a KOSHER car park.

[JTC545]

When i saw the title i actually expected the spanish inquisition

[johnnythm777]

@JTC545 NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION

[Yermog]

"It's only a bloody parking offense..."

[1flyingspaghetimonst]

I now call the late Arthur Alridge

[neoprankster]

I put it to you that you died in December 1642.

[servantofLoviatar]

"I sure did that thing."

[mangobanna]

"Isweartotellthetruththewholet­ruthandnothingbutthetruthSOANY­WAY."

[Egu022]

@mangobanna the answer to where Little Britain drew their inspiration for Vicky Pollard. (;

[XoBR3TToX]

this was the first monty python sketch i saw on tv as a 14 year old and i love it

[GamingIsTheBest]

7:37 - 8:09 like xiloveRiverphoenix said

[xiloveRiverphoenix]

I was in absolute hysterics watching this, and I was almost falling off my chair at the very end, with John Cleese, from 7:37 - 8:09

"With a chuff chuff chuff, and a chuff chuff chuff"

*dead silence*

Oh, I think this is definitely one of my top favourite Python skits EVER.

♥

[johndebbra]

@xiloveRiverphoenix not sure what episode my fav i like them all

[pip9999]

with a chuff-chuff-chuff, and a chuff-chuff-chuff... :)

awesome! :)

thanks for the vid!

[cerberus144]

Number one...the Larch...

[Shark58]

I'm sorry I'm late my lord, I couldn't find a kosher car park.

lmao

[decayedEssence]

Still I can't recognize the larch.

The larch.

[cbaile]

I love how Cleese points at the audience when a witness says something "important". I can't even explain why I find it so funny but it's brilliant.

[tenofivelips]

I don't like the sound of his lliver!

[richieh1980]

"It's only a bloody parking offence" Brilliant

[lewars1912]

Dead witnesses are the best ones.  Clever people were the Monty Python people. Clever indeed. Beautiful song.

[joshaf26]

If I ever want to act as a hostile witness, I'm going to channel my inner Fiona Lewis.

[RiverofEgypt]

Four and six a pound and him with a wooden leg!

[BlahBlahYouWho]

My parents once hired a professional Cardinal Richelieu impersonator for my 10th birthday. 

[comanchio1976]

@BlahBlahYouWho Where they insane?

[BlahBlahYouWho]

@comanchio1976

Horrifically so.

[spacegasp]

Parking Offense-Shmarking Offense!!

[Cinedragon]

The next time I'll clean my windows, I'll sing Dim's song XD

[IBelongInThe80s]

"I sure did that thing." Love Michael Palin <3

[dim1309]

Excellent ! Thank you for the upload.

[MillBelater]

the pacing was so much slower 40 years ago. 

[lionheart270866]

@MillBelater

Because we had to think more about it in those days?

[listerone]

They're all good but Palin was my favorite."Curse you,Inspector Dim.You're too clever for us naughty people".

[malsmarola7]

ah sho did that thing

[rowiian]

Because pink is the color of passion!

[blueprintwizard]

is that Niel Innes sleeping under his wig when Cleese's coming?so anyway-

[dharmaseed]

@blueprintwizard That would be Ian Davidson.

[Thundermonk99]

john cleese's expecting glances at the camera are hilarious.

[Zilerte]

Is it a dead chicken the guy hits John Cleese with?

[sturmtigerDMW]

@Zilerte a rubber one

[BPlayReview]

@Zilerte it's a rubber chicken

[belisariusorb]

Love Michael Palin in this one

[samopostam]

Chapman is brilliant in this one. So funny.

"Not so fast". The way he says it is just hilarious. Just like everything else that comes out of his mouth.

[0FireMaiden0]

Love John Cleese's song at the end - makes me laugh so hard everytime I watch this!

[TheGreatOldOnes]

Richelieu is fucking hilarious.

[ShopliftersUnite]

@TheGreatOldOnes yes he is! someone make a comilation of him

[ShopliftersUnite]

*compilation

[PrincessBunhead]

"I sure did that thing" haha

[liekkis]

None of your smart answers, you think youre so clever. Well I'm DIM!

[zatoichi12345]

"is it fair to say you are not a well man?"

'knock'

hahaha.awesome.

[pielacqua]

Thank u so much for posting this. I was a cop and court really is silly like this. Funny thanks again.

[livagudlyf]

Its only a bl**dy parking offence.

[JimTLonW6]

One of the few sketches I'd not seen previously; the first witness reminds me of so many people! And then there's JC singing about being an engine driver! LOL funny!

[Uffel80]

Priceless

[yellowsevenxD]

1:36 1:59 2:15 XD

[Carlisle3Leeds1]

"I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so anyway"

[Se1ander]

@Carlisle3Leeds1

Don't like the sound of his liver!?

[micahgee]

"Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!"

xD oh I love that rant

[startrek898]

[zof31091]

hahahah love terry's face :D

[lisambofoh]

Why do you not like Graham Chapman? If you just don't like his style of comedy or something, that's fine, I'm just curious. I thought he and John Cleese made the show.

[wastemind]

Love Cleese's dance at the end. He's just so silly.

[psychorob2005]

@3NUNS you got a problem with homosexuals?

[valhar2000]

Nope, only Graham Chapman.

[JackHighlander]

everybody together now: Consternation Uproar!!!

[Squidgey55]

i'll never understand how the jury managed to sit there through the entire sketch and never even crack a SMILE!

[travisandlisa1]

They're all great as women, but Graham is my favorite. 'So, she said she said she said!"

[NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

"I sure did that thing."

[travisandlisa1]

Love your You tube name, very clever!

[TheRadical42]

150 Snazzes on the 100 Point Snazz-o-Scale. Off the charts!

-This is one of my favorite MP sketches. It's so goofy! I especially love the Cardinal Richileau bit. "Ah ha! He fell for my little trap!"

-I think more criminals in this world today should say "Curse you! You are too clever for us nawty people" when they get arrested. It would make law and order so much more entertaining.

[travisandlisa1]

What is a 'Car Park'??

Love Monty Python!!!!!

[DAVN121]

and a "Kosher" one at that!

[BNL07604]

@travisandlisa1 A parking lot

[murielsartre]

A parking lot.

[Zecoatl]

parking lot
