Monty Python- Architect Sketch

[MIQofDMC]

Now I'm convinced that Cave Johnson hired the first guy.

[xauthz]

The next sketch is over there !

[MagicAccent]

Anyone know the name of that sketch with Eric Idle who is being berated by his boss because he's come up with disgusting names for their products?

[raverdeath100]

@MagicAccent are you thinking of the "crunchy frog " chocolate selection box sketch? ;)

[MagicAccent]

@raverdeath100

Nonono. Not that one, it's similar, but even more silly :)

[selfburningman]

@MagicAccent Conquistador Coffee Campaign. I was just watching that one a couple days ago, almost couldn't find it again =) watch?v=ijIq_-8HJo8

[MagicAccent]

@selfburningman

That's the one! Been looking for ages! Thank you so much! :D

[The1andOnlyCG]

what other ways are there of identifying a Freemason?

[The1andOnlyCG]

i mainly design slaughterhouses

*mad eyes*

[rockdude2702]

"The dividing walls on each floor section are fixed with recessed magnalium flange"

Actually couldn't stop laughing.

[MrBuch169169]

It's a testament to Cleese that "None of your blood caked on the walls and flesh flying out of the windows with this one!" is one of the least noticable lines in the whole scene.

[shaalis]

"you excrement!"

[listen2meokidoki]

@shaalis No he didn't actually say "YOU EXCREMENT"!! He said YOU EX CEMENT, YOU LOUSY" etc etc etc. Or at least that what I thought I heard.

[SouthernersSax]

@listen2meokidoki He says "excrement".

[listen2meokidoki]

@SouthernersSax Are you sure? I didn't hear excrement. I heard ex-sea-ment. I just replayed it and I still hear excredent. Or something completely different.

[SouthernersSax]

@listen2meokidoki Think about which word sounds the most like what someone would use to insult someone.

[listen2meokidoki]

@SouthernersSax Why would people go around insulting one-another, you excreting filthy toad. Go hop across that road over there.

[burntoastvideos]

Trevor's favorite sketch.

[blackpeter70]

As great as this sketch is, I reckon Cleese's rant on the audiotape version is slightly funnier (and angrier!) . Still awesome.

[neworleanssaint1996]

i'm here 'cause of whitest kids u' know

[alucard1234567889]

13 people aren't free masons

[aFemale1]

This tall blond actor is hot

[CorvetteLover82]

@aFemale1 That tall blonde guy was Graham Chapman. Unfortunately as of 1989, he is no more. He has ceased to be. Bereft of life, he rests in peace. He's kicked the bucket, hopped the twig, bit the dust, snuffed it, breathed his last, and gone to meet the great Head of Light Entertainment in the sky.

[aFemale1]

@CorvetteLover82 Ha ha ... i guess you are English... using all those hot metaforas :-) :-)

[listen2meokidoki]

@CorvetteLover82 He is now the Will-o'-the-wisp, the etherial spirit now residing in a comedic heaven filled with laugher and lots of raucous objection and as I type, in the background plays "I am a stranger in paradice".

[Mootilated]

gentlemen, we have two basic suggestions...

[TheRoepieroepie]

Ahh, I had not correctly defined your attitude toward your tenants ...xD

[listen2meokidoki]

@TheRoepieroepie Yet on the other hand, he almost had them nailed. If he had just included a few hazards that could have occassionally caused an accident, sometimes fatal, well, I reckon he would never have ended up running an excuse of a hotel, with some rooms with a view - of Torquay, population 63,998 (2001), latitude 50.4792, longitude -3.5305. Or eventually run away with a fish called Wanda.

[TheCleesmiester]

13 people are wining hyporcytical bastards. bleding masonic secrect handshakes. not caring a tinkerscus for the strugiling artisit.

[ChrisHenniker]

This is a reference to Ronan Point, a London tower block that blew up in 1968.

[syxxness]

I lost it at the handshake. Then again at the instant replay.

[imallfordabulls]

What other ways are there to spot a free mason...

[aloumvrios]

my head hurts

[Kailoa36]

There is no body quite like John Cleese!

[lordofthejimmy2]

Notice the Microphone at 0:03

[Lieu3C4]

I cannot help but think of the tower blocks in Liverpool, 2 at one end of a rectangle overseeing an arterial road along which sit 4 three story houses of red brick opposed to 4 more high rises, the fourth of which sported 30 stories of double red line down to the ground I once saw.

[proatgaimz]

240p .. we meet again.

[DreadnoughtOne1]

13 people need to go for that trip past the murals depicting Mediterranean scenes...

[planetary109]

@DreadnoughtOne1 Or the rotating knives.

[MrOnionterror]

You excrement!

[quizmaster85]

And that smile when Cleese says "Slaughterhouses"...

Mmmm...

[XOmniverse]

@quizmaster85 And the way his eyes light up.

[gemear2]

SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE

[Kailoa36]

"...sitting on your spotty arses, squeezing blackheads..." Classic Cleese.

[Quentin2Montargis]

the Gumbys are hilarious..

[PandaJungle]

colored Tv sets ...Thats hard core

[Mamamoosa]

Umad cleese?

[DaveKub9]

Cleese's characther here is surely the precursor to Basil

[rockermanmatt]

@DaveKub9 He always plays that character lol

[msserenity20121]

Yes, well of course that’s just the sort of blinkered, philistine, pig ignorance I’ve come to expect from you non-creative garbage, you sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds, squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker’s cuss about the struggling artist.  You EXCREMENT!

[MrROTD]

Wow Masonic handshakes and Blackballing wtf?

[CharlieChark]

"Thank youuuuu...."

priceless



[tahi16]

2:18 till 2:40 a typical speech of a british congressman

[wahaya2]

@tahi16 I didn't know we had such a thing as congressmen here in Britain. XD

Do you mean a parliamentarian by any chance?

[johnlouisville]

During Cleese's rant, Michael Palin is using every ounce of energy he has to not burst out laughing.

[listen2meokidoki]

You forgot the exclamation! "No I'm English"!!!!..Typical English arrogant snob - "Oh we English don't use exclamations unless we absolutely have to", I can hear you saying. Well mate, he ain't the same person. One is an architect and the other is a hen-pecked Hotelier. While the actor is in fact, a Minister in Her Majesties' government. Something to do with silly walk if I correctly recall. Bostonian 91? Where did you get a title like that? Doesn't sound right to me!

[IlRezzonico]

@listen2meokidoki Majesty's

[listen2meokidoki]

@IlRezzonico Ah yes. Well, maybe you might spell it that way, but frankly I don't give a toss, you poncy pustule of a post nasal drip. I'll even spell Monarchy Monachie if I feel like. Unless of course Her Majesty disapproves. In which case I'll be happy to change it. For a fee.

[IlRezzonico]

@listen2meokidoki you're welcome

[listen2meokidoki]

That was a clearly a practice run for the role of Mr. Faulty.

[Bostonian91]

When John Cleese gets angry in this sketch, he bares an uncanny resembelence to Adolf Hitler, no?

[listen2meokidoki]

@Bostonian91 Oh no sir. I was going to say how I interpreted his performance was reminiscent of what Mr Cleese later developed to becoem the character in Faulty Towers, Mr Basil Faulty. Not that your Hitler reference doesn't have some merit of course.

[listen2meokidoki]

@Bostonian91 Oh, I'm sorry. I just realised you might be an American and I should have compensated for that. Yes, you are quite correct. John did sound quite Hitleresque didn't he. But he also reminded me of a role he later became well known for, the character of Mr Basil Fawlty. the proprietor of Fawlty Towers. An upmarket boarding house for a better class of clientele.

[Bostonian91]

@listen2meokidoki No I'm English, and yes he does kinda look like Mr Basil Fawlty, which you would expect considering that they are the same person, right?

[SwimmingpoolTheBand]

As a Freemason, I find this sketch hilarious. Great great stuff.

[Boredpersons55]

UP THERE UP THERE UP THERE

[johnlouisville]

Michael Palin had to spend every ouch of energy he had to not burst out laughing...

[blackserenade24]

Trevor Moore was right! this IS a funny sketch!

[jek21]

brilliant

[bennyjacob999]

" YOU EXCREMENT!"

[davidnightwalker]

Haha, I work in an abattoir

[ravizoid]

@ilQazar *blinks* So... you read the comments _first_ and _then_ watch the film? What kind of deviant are you?

[HelenaVanCity]

Ahahahahah! My building is being refurbished right now. Hope they won't be installing any rotating knives and blood draining chutes! LOL

[quimet2000]

Trevor Moore brought me here

[mark12033]

@quimet2000 me too!

[dharmaseed]

Uuuuuuup theeeeeeeere! 

[dave2806]

HE CAN JOIN MY LODGE ANY TIME HE LIKES !

[Mogolito96]

11 people got stuck in the rotating knifes



[Griesmayer]

British Humor sweeps the floor with American humor lol

[russinhouse]

@Griesmayer  if you get it !!

[nexivdr]

@Griesmayer hardly

[HammersGamingChannel]

@nexivdr I'm afraid it does. 

[WhiteTiger225]

@Griesmayer Yes... This is true by the fact only 30% of Monty Python is funny, while the other 70% is way to niche or dull to be funny, and the many other bad UK comedy attempts. Maybe, just maybe, you are a judgemental twat?

[HammersGamingChannel]

@WhiteTiger225 So what are you doing then?

[filip8546]

@Griesmayer There is no American humor.

[DrIScream]

@Griesmayer Yeah take a look at Mr.Bean.....

[spacecowboy5000]

Cleese is so awesome here. I love the way his face goes from pink, to red, to reder and redest! First time I saw this I really expected his head to explode.

[arthurholtaf]

Thumbs up if you got here from cplusplus[dot]com from Albatross's profile :D

[londonarchitects]

Been a long time since i watched Monty Python, thanks for putting this architect sketch on here:)

[mottledbrain]

"Yes, well that of course is just the kind of blinkered, philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage..."

Now THAT'S creative cussing!

[CSavageSr]

abattoir, Now I know what Rorschach was talking about in Watchmen. Comedy is educational!!!

Nobody does angry better than cleese. This and Fawlty for example.

[thedukeofantioch]

he nearly got in at hendon

[Triplerubik]

That rant was so epic even Cleese's face was turning red!

[marstheforthplanet]

8 and then 3...

[geekgal1000]

who sit there on your loathesome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinkers cuss about the struggling artist. YOU EXCREMENT! YOU LOUSY HYPOCRITICAL WHINING TOADIES!

[MrOopsidaisy]

11 people must be village idiots.

[jmm1233]

mr gumby should have shown his architect design ie two bricks

[drkmrln13]

we need 11 condoms and a time machine

[DetectiveDeckard]

@drkmrln13 Such a beautiful comment, the likes of which I've never seen.

[ju87stukarudel]

@drkmrln13 brilliant! get to work on that

[Crazystudent93]

there's nothin funnier then John Cleese when he completely loses it

[Soilwar]

No one says "BASTARDS!" like John Cleese does. I need a short message beeper of it!

[SargentCorn]

@Soilwar I second that!

[liverpoolmatt87]

@Soilwar yes and that's what made him say it again in fawlty towers ;p

[healie]

@Soilwar Indeed.

"YEW BAHHHSTAHDS!"

[Jangofett221]

@Soilwar Not just "Bastards". John Cleese has a unique way of screaming...Pretty much anything.

[papavereus]

@Jangofett221 unique way of screaming? - Adolf Hilter, uhm Hitler was an inspiration, I guess.

[Crusadair]

@Soilwar .....and when he says bastard, he means.....*ggg* (himself and all other in this world)....:-)

[lamourlupus]

@norwonk Another way to interpret Ayn Rand that makes sense because she is quoted by political and economic groups, especially those with degrees who needlessly bring badness into the world without claiming accountability!!! Laughter is an excellent solution to stupidity and ignorance. Thanks .

[demonicspire1]

@lamourlupus I always thought with a face ike she had, Ayn Rand was playing a dangerous game by recommending laughter as a weapon.

[megamarsvin]

@demonicspire1 Maybe she recommended it because she was impervious to it herself.

[demonicspire1]

@megamarsvin iunno, she REALLY looked like a dude. Pretty funny gal, violently homophobic, and an anti-evolutionist. That and she had massive rape fantasies.

[Quex01]

@lamourlupus wat?

[Burguois]

9 people are blackballing bastards

[ReneeMontoya12]

Which actor plays the homicidal architect?

[MerlinBunny1]

@ReneeMontoya12 John Cleese.

[gorthorki]

@ReneeMontoya12 john cleese (the first one)

[starrish]

I love this sketch lol and the satire part lol !

[acdcfreakNr1]

hahaha XD 0:14 it is like in my school the teacher scream shut up and everyone being quiet 2 seconds later everyone talks again XDXD

[molligemozes]

if this doesnt wake u up ;)

[extragunbon]

Wait... wait... did the first architect down the corridor, past the rotating knives?

[JohnLennonLover9]

Ha ha, Graham just threw water on himself technically XD

[obiwanobiwan13]

@norwonk When Cleese screams "YOU EXCREMENT!" he may as well have been referring to Randian "philosophy." ;)

[markmarktarmann]

or as we might say in no. cali., uhhh, wrong, wrong, and wrong ,,duuude.

[markmarktarmann]

no le creativ i'm actually not very limey at all. from california by way of milwaukee.

if you haven' t out yet that we are all quite clueless, by design, well, then old chap, i'd say you're in the majority, eh, what?

[markmarktarmann]

tried to read the fountainhead back in the 80's when i was going out with a (typically)clueless american yuppie lawyeress (yes, all 3 are clueless, typically, but are esp.so in combination). she gave me the book to read. vaguely remember a very dull and not well crafted parable, and ode to capitalism and the wonderful risk takers whose mistakes and crimes we the residents going thru the slaughterhouse pay for. good call norwonk

[LeCreativeGenius]

@markmarktarmann How very Limey.

[Lordfairling]

@Finlandperkele Those are the Gumbies.

[Planktontwo]

@Finlandperkele Lordfairling is correct. But the intro to the architect sketch is not in it or you would understand that it begins with a bunch of silly gumbies introducing or directing the cameras to go to the office room. It is just as funny as this sketch is.

[farbrorandre]

@Finlandperkele look at the village idiots sketch :)

[lamagra22]

@Finlandperkele Watch this video if you want to see them. At the end it shows the Gumbies and the first part of this sketch: /watch?v=jNBNqUdqm1E&feature=r­elated

[Milomia9]

They should slaughter them. Its revenge for all the trees they slaughtered to build it.

[Milomia9]

This comes after the village idiot sketch. You can never understand the first joke or sometimes even the whole sketch until youve seen the one before it.

[pimasta314]

The English Hitler.

[PerfectSaga]

I was actually just watching the Village Idiot, then just randomly selected to watch this one next, not knowing it was the continuation.

[jpheitman]

@PerfectSaga Same here! XD

[jakeelee904]

John Cleese iis the absolute best at screaming and making it funny....

[TithonusSyndrome]

@norwonk I owe you a beer, and you owe me a new keyboard.

[jpoolerdom]

@TithonusSyndrome yeah, I came too.

[christschinwon]

I was about to eBay my second hand apron and tony jacklin golf clubs but if anyone would like to do a trade for new world order secrets, email me gaddafi_duck@hotmail.cock

[ocarina2boy]

Monty Python exposing the Freemasons. Nice.

[thevideogamenerd100]

this video was made on my birthday XD

[Maphysto]

By avoiding wood and timber derivatives, we've almost totally removed the risk of satire.

[secretcountry]

omg guys did you see the handshake at the end!?!?!? the pythons are TOTALLY freemasons!

(SATIRE)

[TheXyaan]

SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE SATIRE :D

[Soilwar]

gumbies are awesome

[ianmax69]

So if your a flegling architect unable to get into the Freemasons,,, you can always retire to Torquay and open a hotel..

[MowgliX]

One of the best Python sketches ever. I remember this from when I was a little kid. I think it's satire or something. ;)

[thevideogamenerd100]

this video was made on my birthday XD

[19sas85]

i want to say YOU EXCREMENT!! to random people on the street.

[messenger360]

Freemasons are satanists.

[AngelBiLove]

@messenger360 And people from nasa are nazis, yes yes we all heared your loonatic stories, you homeless fruitcake. Now bugger off and go read a bible. I really can't abide by people that don't show respect to the great genius that Monty Python is.

[Vebable]

@messenger360

Only if Satan means "Vector in linnear space"....

[poltergiest11]

oh my they are knowledgeable about freemasonry, yet funny!

[cornishphilosopher]

UP THERE

[eddster1986]

I like how Graham's character just happened to have a bucket of water on hand.

[un4g1v3n1]

I thought I saw Alex Jones standing outside with his crew....

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

5 Mr gumbies pressed the dislike button ^.^

[MultiBiker101]

lmao

[1zappa]

"YOU EXCREMENT!!"

[bernardcz92]

Cleese's character seems to be similar to the future Basil Fawlty: a loud-mouth and easily angered person and then a grovelling creep.

[TheFacelessActivist]

Four dislikes and four people having water splashed on them...

Coincidence?

...I think not...

[51m0nnn]

@TheFacelessActivist

a good one, but it was wather splashed on 5 people..

[TheFacelessActivist]

@51m0nnn

Don't make me personally fix it...
