[InquisitiveSpanish]

3 people are chewing on life's gristle.

[ccooll2008]

@Monty Python:

Simply awesome!!!

@Canaveral

It's Swing, what means Jazz, wich means:

Clap on 2 & 4 instead of 1 & 3

[kringles4]

Janet whats her name has absolutely no idea what is going on....clueless concerning real music.......

[Ronnoculous]

Bloody Brilliant! Timeless classic! <3 Monty Python!

[Canaveral305]

Dammit, audience. Clap on 2 and 4, not 1 and 3.

[Zezza12]

I love that everyone knows the song! Even If U haven't seen 'Life of Brian' ;)

[kingoftomatoes]

@Zezza12 everyone except Janet Jackson, that is.

[RedVanMan101]

[dakingofsoccer]

[MrKiddKevinn]

Perfect Song For A Monday Morning (:

[aguador67]

Nope. Unfortunately 3 assholes dislike this video :(

[Thefailbros12]

@aguador67 Only because they don't know who eric idle is :(

[mikeman91]

OMG How you can dislike a song that shows you THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE!!!

[strokavi]

death is a moment when dying stops

[JustAManOfPeace]

Who dislike that?

[sodabob]

3 people had their funny bones removed after horrible skiiing accidents.

[7outof9gone]

Eric 2010-too fuckin awesome!!!!!!!!!!

[XxSYCOSLAYER15xX]

[XxSYCOSLAYER15xX]

@TechGuy543 so

[ricopaulson1]

janet jackson has no idea who he is or wut this song is

[MrByrneenryB]

Legend!

[Daphoeno]

Life of brian WTF!!!!!!

[Limuel831]

3 people didn't always look on the bright side of life

[RandomBananaGuy]

@TheOriginal3P  3 People

[luisfontaine]

Theres always some tozzers who have to ruin it...you 3 clearly have rubbish lives.

[Haktsu]

Suddenly, good music was provided for the world, and all were... more than happy.

[SirBarzdevics]

BEST SONG EVER!!

[LittleShocks]

Eric Idle, John Cleese, Michal Palin, In fact the whole Monty Python Crew. Just amazing.

[xXgorillazboosh11Xx]

A true comedian :D

[undertkr2001]

Janet,

As you sit there with that deer in the highlights look, completely clueless as you are now, this is what you call humor, entertainment, and talent. You'll never see Eric floppy his tits, though his may be less hairy and probably real, at the half time for the attention.

[kingoftomatoes]

Janet Jackson didn't even pretend she knew what was happening. Twat.

[undertkr2001]

@kingoftomatoes I agree. Other that possibly a decent fuck, she really has no attraction to me. Certainly not as any type of entertainer.

[Mega2People]

this gonna be my funarul song, nice dry humor :)

[InquisitiveSpanish]

2 silly chumps viewed this video.

[tnhl77]

and he didn't have to make a tit out of him self to get attention janet!

[Timorovsky]

I sang this song when my oncologist told me I have leukemia and my chances of living for another decade or slim to none. The only time it's been appropriate for me to sing this song ever in my entire life!

[kingoftomatoes]

@Timorovsky you're aces to have such great humour!

[FendyRhodes]

@Timorovsky Are you still alive?

[CGSiino]

@Timorovsky Don't reply to this message if you're dead. o.o

[Timorovsky]

@CGSiino Oh, I'm very alive and well, I watch this video every once in a while just to remind me not to take everything so seriously. Eric always had that effect on me. They won't allow me to play it over the intercom at the hospital however, humourless bastards.

[CGSiino]

@Timorovsky Nice to hear you're doing well then =) And tell that hospital to lighten up a bit, this song is bound to make a lot of people smile, even if its just for a while.

[dthomd]

@Timorovsky My thoughts are with you my friend. A truly admirable outlook, I wish you happiness!!

[Victimiser7]

You could tell that Janet Jackson had absolutely no fucking idea what was going on

[lokalaw]

At 1:03~ She didnt know why the audience screaming~

[shutthefuckupbiatch]

@lokalaw

more like 0:00 - 3:49 she has no fcking idea what is going on and what language is it...

[thecitizenme]

1 dislikes? thats janet jackson lol..

[bloodtimer]

The person who got pulled down from the cross disliked this lol "I was just pulling your leg mate, I'm not Brian!"

[sexntuna]

LEGEND! Awesome.

[agramsci]

Legend.

[PapalovesEmmy]

I love this so, so much. I have a member of my family who is way too young and is dying of cancer. This would make him so happy if he could hear it just one more time. Eric Idle is just so cool.

[MsMitaka1]

stop the video at 1:21 and see who is whistling :)

[ccgal15888]

@MsMitaka1 who is it?

[BleakyW]

[CHRISIDDON17]

[Cypryssss]

No dislikes. Just how it should be.

[SteelTheStoic]

@Cypryssss Four dickheads just had to be contrary to you, I'm sad to report.

[WiggsMaGee]

He looks old

[666BrotherofMetal]

@WiggsMaGee YOU DONT SAY!! :D hahaha

[cifrank]

Janet jackson looks totally lost.

[NathanH97]

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have solved the troubles on the Middle-East.

[Wendigo111]

That's a true entertainer. How many motherfuckers do you know that can spontaneously break into song and actually be funny? Holy shit, what a fucking pro!

[stupidbob12]

What a legend. I wish he could be around forever.

[EurynomusBH]

Janet is clueless. Hasn't the slightest clue what is going on.

[Jaceric2]

just brilliant ! btw i love the bass players hat haha

[TheJoa0h]

330 people like 0 dislike nice very very nice:]

[DaMistaX]

@TheJoa0h to like shitty music you got to have bad taste. to dislike monthy python you got to be an idiot

[alchemist4evr]

This my friends is successful trolling.

[Hysteria98]

Graham Norton is the luckiest man of the year!

[sampaz92]

Graham Norton's swaying is awesome

[kernalcbaggins]

LIFES A PEACE IF YOU LOOK AT IT LOL this guy is funny :D

[Keebler5466]

[tommyers]

Wow! Everyone looks on the bright side of life! :-)

[TitaniamDUCK]

[SuperSonic44]

@TitaniamDUCK Scumbag Steve: Sees video has no dislikes, dislikes

[VixxADesign]

Every time I listen to this song, I'm feeling very happy :)

[hi101107]

[bluesong1957]

Wonderfully done!

[sampaz92]

janet jackson needs some culture, she's got no clue

[lennonsdoll]

my god i love him.

[jecka1982]

How random and so utterly brilliant! I wonder if it was just off the cuff or expected!

Yeh it certainly looks as if janet jackson had any idea! Only Brits would find this funny!!

[ShutThatDoor]

Next time you fret about an idiot boss, or pick up the Daily Mail, or watch the news, and see the usual murder and mayhem and misery, play this and put it all into perspective!

[oBuLLzEyEo1013]

Nice segway

[WheelchairWilly]

Why do British audiences alway clap on the off-beat? Brilliant.

[MegaAdam1000]

@WheelchairWilly

You do know Graham Norton is Irish, right?

[michelleluetke]

He's still got it! Pure talent! x

[jgkloosterman]

I'm for the monarchy, but if we ever get rid of it, my vote's for this as our new National Anthem!

[balin2k]

lol i like it when Eric tries to keep his smile back when graham asks him the question :D this song is genius! no matter what it always leaves a smile on my face whenever i feel down. i just cant help it

[sally65356]

I love how happy Graham is :)

[teowwefan96]

no dislikes.... now I can smile

[sociallogie]

A true performer 

[TheCrazyTalkKid]

Monty Python kicks ass.

[NHall609]

1:21 Prince Herbert and Sir Robin from the UK 2011 Tour of Spamalot

[MegaAdam1000]

@NHall609 I can see Herbert, but which one is Robin?

[NHall609]

@MegaAdam1000 the one with the combed over black hair next to him on the right

[Darkstar263]

I love how it's such a well known and famous song these days that the audience were joining in singing and whistling it. I wish I was in that audience to watch him.

[Directx45000]

A true entertained and legend of British comedy.

[MenwithHill]

What an unexpected action. Seems like a musical.

[ButterflyofOceans]

@bean2797 ik shes looking around like wha? lmfao

[ButterflyofOceans]

love this song! its amazing :D

[hecate141]

lol emilie autumn redid this song.. but she didnt sing it she juz played the harpsicord

[MrJORGERAMOS123]

Eric Idle is an incredible man and I hope he continues to make us look at the bright side of life :D

[1956mermaid]

Classic ...:O)))

[Darkstar263]

This song makes me proud to be british.

[jecka1982]

@Darkstar263 Amen to that! :)

[Darkstar263]

@jecka1982

I wish I knew how to whistle lol

[aweseb]

no wonder, noone ever thumbed this down

[spacecowboy5000]

I think Janet's going to do a cover of this on her next album.

[JeffreyChaucer2]

the best thing is that he sings the song not as an artist who works on stage, for money, but in such an easy, relaxed manner.

[hotsonetti]

@JeffreyChaucer2 Well, after all, he is a comedian. What is a comedian who takes everything he does seriously? Not a very good comedian.

[alchemist4evr]

Those two popstars just got PWNED by Eric Idle! WIN

[BognarRegis]

@alchemist4evr Tyler Perry seemed to know what was going on, so I'd say Janet was the only clueless one.

[CONNORandJACOBshow]

At 1:21 you can see the uk tour cast of SPAMALOT in the audience!

[that1weirdkid27]

I truly love this man. <3

[sudmaisis]

@mupptard only if u can do it better

[divinegod102]

@mupptard LEt's SeE IF YOu COuld D0 BEtter...Oh wait you're not even nobody.

[StonedOrcs]

I was feeling quite heavy, this cheered me up a bit :-)

[MadLennyFan]

fan friggin' tastic!!

[witness124]

You know, it's quite good that they had two of the most bland, unexpressive popstars in the world there who have no idea what's going on.

[cyndicraven]

:-)

[jaani1984]

Poor Janet has never heard of the Pythons... :D

[TheEftelingFan]

What a performer! This guy can make me laugh to death. I started watching some of their stuff recently, and boy did i miss out!

[SemillaJoven]

Eric Idle is the maaaaaaaannnn!

[ShaunHawksworth]

There has been some amazing moments on The Graham Norton Show but this is the one I would have most wanted to see in person!

[jbmoussa]

fab performer!

[micka20085]

tat was fucking epic

[ComedyLiker23]

A 100 likes, and no dislikes. That shows how amazing Eric Idle is at comedy! He can make anyone see the bright side of life.

[barruska21]

[OropherThranduil]

Janet Jackson just learned what good music is.

[domofwigan]

How much does Eric Idle look like a parrot?! Love Mr Idle!!!

[BevisFriend2010]

@domofwigan  Would that be the Norwegian Blue ? Beautiful plumage !

[cathode1990]

you come from nothing-  you go back to nothing -what have you lost? Nothing --very true - The Brits lay it on the line

[WesthamMr]

looooool janet jackson has no idea wtf is going on hahahahahaha

[paulitas83]

My new tattoo

[bert872]

Graham Norton has been good this year, used to prefer Jonathan Ross but his show ain't too good anymore.

[mastercrap]

he is not lip syncing

[ZeusZol0]

When Eric starts to sing and the audience starts to cheer, Janet Jackson has no idea what's going on. LOL

[cathode1990]

@ZeusZol0 yes- she has been so cloistered -- not her fault - I don't  think she would understand the British humor any way

[dmckinz1]

Gr8 show! Gr8 guests!! So funny! Love Eric!!! and Graham... :o)

[joemccluskey1]

this is just the best thing ive seen in ages. when i was watching on the graham norton show the moment he said the first line i just knew this was gonna happen. absolutly brilliant.

[sandjuice2012]

@joemccluskey1 i was the same couldn't help but burst into song with him this song no matter where i am or how i'm feeling always makes me sing smile and dance utter genius young Eric Idle is

[sanshui596]

loved this section of the show

[cathode1990]

@sanshui596 it was the best segment

[rgmatos2]

God bless the UK!

[BritishAlienCompany]

ERIC YOU LEGEND! :D x

[orr89]
