  • ROFLMAO OMG this was so unbeliavably funny. probably laughed way more than i should have

  • rofl this was so funny! I love the EUREKAAAAAAA!! Sadly, I think if I ever tried playing soccer with my friends, it would turn out like the beginning of this match. Except we wouldn't be coming up with great theories .

  • there's the ball there's the ball

  • lol Beckenbauer with the surprise inclusion

  • This sort of Pythonesque brilliance is frenziedly and frantically ultra-brilligtastic compared with today's modern neo-post-modern dross and dribble.

  • lmfao this is amazing

  • damn that was way funnier than the sketch with the English noble inbred twits doing some sort of simplified Olympics culminating in suicide

  • They cut away from the game and return in the second half. So, Socrates netted into the proper goal. A beautiful header it was.

  • but isn't that own goal? So the Germans win! Lol

  • Sad thing is that this match is as about as exciting as soccer gets.

  • Diogenes should be here, he would be a drunken nude guy, running across the field!

  • Reminds me of any Libertarian Party meeting I've ever been to :)

  • I love this and what I love even more is that I understand why certain parts are funny. I almost feel proud of my self.

  • It's a disgrace that Diogenes wasn't included in the Greek squad.

    And how come has Nietzsche changed tops with Schelling?

  • It must be a really old match, as I've heard that Marx played for various foreign teams. At the moment, he is the captain for the Chinese.

  • @timfidotru Definitely an old match. Nietzsche has since retired, and now hangs out at coffee shops with freshman philosophy majors.

  • That's obviously John Cleese (isn't it?) showing his great skills with the ball before kickoff. Well done, Sir!  Who knew?

  • woudl be fun to see schopenhauer foul hagel lol and watch him walk away pretending nothing happened. also germs should score first and then have Marx score a own goal to make it more equal. i want a 90min match lol

  • OFFSIDE!!!! Marx is right again

  • @hasjkdhlsjakDHLASJKD

    STUDY HARDER

    

  • The germans needed more will to power!

  • i think that UREEEEKAAAAAAA! should be in more videos like this one XD

    - python rules

  • i can see socrates' underwear !

  • I love how after kick-off Beckenbauer is just standing around looking confused.

  • How can you have theologians as linesmen it really is too much, the Germans should demand a replay.

  • wow, quite a sketch.

  • Foi o vídeo mais culto que vi no youtube!

  • When I first saw this sketch, I wondered if the Greeks passing off the ball to one another was more or less a metaphor for how different Greek philosophical concepts and ideas coincided and supported one another.

  • IH and TN have a point: humans need free will (or at least the illusion thereof) to thrive, as individualism plays a role in invention and the advancement of art and technology. Plato poses in his republic that the ideal state is a benevolent dictatorship, however this is a practical impossibility due to avarice and the instinct to ensure the well-being of blood relations before all others. As such, a perfect socialist state is an impossibility, as is a truly "benevolent" dictatorship.

  • @kittykitty1987 I completely agree. An ideal state of existence within a society is entirely subjective and an individual's interpretation of a Utopia is fulfilled by criteria that will never be completely, or even slightly ubiquitous. I am not at all Theistic, but what would happen if an exterior authority imposed free will on humanity overall? Does that not contradict the whole idea of human volition?

  • Comment removed

  • Marx is claiming an offsides, hahahahaha

  • And Confucius say, "Name go in book"

  • Comment removed

  • Marx thinks it was everyones goal since the ball belongs to everyone.

  • wouldn't bechanbaur (sp?) have thought of scoring first?

  • Hahahahahahaha

    All I've got to say!

  • There is no 'r' at the end of "Nietzsche." Why do they pronounce it as "Neetcher?" I've always hated that. They say it that way in 'The Meaning of Life' also. It makes my ears bleed when they say it that way!

  • @IggyHazard Because it's a German name and in the German language, one pronounces it so. "Neetcha." Porsche is also pronounced this way. We English speaking folk love to anglicise foreign words, don't we?! It's just too difficult to try pronouncing them the correct way... >.<

  • @weirdunclebob Our way is more correct than theirs. Western cultural supremacy uber alles!

    }:-D

    I mean really. Germans and Swiss are supposed to be smart but they can't even pronounce their own names right. An 'e' at the end is pronounced as a "schwa." 'W' is 'V'. It's retarded! Not as retarded as French, though. All those unnecessary unpronounced letters. They have the pompous aristocracy to thank for that. The language actually used to make more sense before they jacked it up.

  • @IggyHazard I only read your first statement. Eastern Culture > Western Culture. (Modern day and historically)

  • @theneenjah Individualism pwns collectivism. Always. Any Westerner who betrays the ideals of individual liberty is a traitor to the West. Death to collectivism!

  • @IggyHazard Well you're biased then :P And i'm saying culture wise. Like food, decor, martial arts, lifestyles, art, etc. Obviously I personally believe that East is better than West. Communism > Democracy.

  • @theneenjah All forms of bureaucratic collectivism and totalitarianism need to be exterminated with a clenched fist. State economies are for the weak. Only degenerate parasites actively seek for the government to rule over them. Only the most depraved masochists actively seek for their faces to be stomped by the iron-heeled jackboot of the state.

  • @IggyHazard Biased. But what i'm saying is that communism is the perfect government system if human nature weren't as evil as it is :P

  • @theneenjah That's exactly the problem. It's too perfect. Perfection is oppressive. Under communism, there's no room for chaos. People need chaos because it liberates us.

  • @IggyHazard Why does my fish burrito taste funky?

  • @weirdunclebob Even if it's intended to be pronounced "Neetcha," that still doesn't give English speaking peoples an excuse to jack it up even more by saying "Neetcher."

  • '...and Marx is claiming it's offside.'

  • I would have loved to have seen the full English line up in the semi-finals? Locke was playing so well

  • @soatesuk

    As is usually the case with England, they'd probably keep it tied up only to lose on penalty supositions.

    =3

  • Socrates was from Brazil and smoked 80 cigs a day. Still the best player not to win a WC!

  • @soatesuk And a doctor!

  • the most inspired sketch of ALL TIME!!! yes. thats right. i said ALL TIME.

  • "Ooohh, if that had gone in the back of the net it would've been a goal". - David Coleman. British philosopher (and sometime sports announcer).

  • This is more interesting and exciting than real footy.

  • Full Marx. Should have shown him the Red Card!

  • i love monty python.

  • Marx was correct. All could be achieved with High Technology and space exploration.

  • Marx was correct.

  • @cris750 i'd agree if i understoon the offside rule.

  • "There's the ball, there's the ball."

  • I'd be an avid football fan if it was like this.

  • Marx was right afterall

  • It seems Marx was right... It was offside.

  • It was folly on Germany's part to omit Marx. Clearly a costly mistake.

  • is Beckenbauer actually playing?

  • ...and Marx claims it was offside :p

  • Watching Marx 'warm up' was probably the funniest thing I've seen in months.

    I fucking love Monty Python.

  • there's the ball!

  • that greek was offside !

  • its interesting people are being surprised by the quality of the comments on a "philosophy" video.

  • Every time I watch this, I wonder WTH Beckenbauer didn't simply get the ball and score as many goals as he'd want... He didn't have to get an "Eureka" to know what to do...

  • Philosopher's football is simple. Men chase the ball and in the end Socrates scores.

  • Nietzsche and Hegel would actually have a major run-in after a few seconds of discussion. *g* And there is NO way anyone else than the great Socrates could score in a philosophy match. :)

  • Yep Socrates is indeed offside, I guess this is why we need video replays

  • I don't know why the line "He beats Hegel" makes me laugh, but it does.

  • Quality, Love the Ref and Linesmen.

  • I can see why the Greeks made Heraclitus their Captain.... if anyone make a game flow (Panta Rei), it's him.

  • what a lovely intelligent comments page. I may come back here more often purely for the company. :)

  • isnt it wonderful, on the comments for this video people are quoting philosophy and are being intellectual and there is nobody making stupid arguments like there normally would be,thank you pythons,thank you for making youtube a more intellectual place.

  • No, its a victory for Archimedes because actually doing something is common sense. Marx was brought into the lineup and - nothing happens, what a shame. The joke is that the Germans' arguments are based on their philosophies and in Marx's cause it isn't to argue what reality is but to argue the rules are unfair, but in the end its all the same result - Greeks win! Greeks win!

  • The Germans could put out some team of composers as well... what a people.

  • There's the ball, there's the ball.....

  • the best thing about this sketch is that Marx claims it was offside (which it was), whilst all the other philosophers are busy spouting lofty conceptual debate. A victory for the common sense of Marx.

  • Comment removed

  • @eraserhead321 I think you´ve got a wonderful insight here, dude. It´s something I would never think about.

  • @eraserhead321 It's true, because communism is a simple aspect and common sense would dictate that it is a perfectly logical outcome to having a utopia of a government. But Human nature makes communism corrupt, because man kind itself is corrupt, and always wants more. Nobody is content with mediocrity, and everyone has a competitive spirit to excel past the person to his left or right whether he can or cant.

  • @wheregarbl very true... but the irony is communism would make everyone better off, happier and dare I say it... richer! By which I mean it's a more stable economic system that nurtures growth in business.

  • @eraserhead321 I have never been a great fan of communism because it destroys the one characteristic that links us with animals- the survival of the fittest. In capitalism the clever and talented become rich and live better lives. The less talented do not, and so in this loose definition don't 'survive' (of course in a literal sense they do). I don't believe in the philosophy that those who have worked hard to attain their talent or knowledge should give it up for others who lacked such a drive.

  • @jammakane10

    I consider myself being a communist... Being communist is not to kill everything you call drive but to maintain a society for everybody... besides not knowing what communism stands for you also lack the knowledge about Darwin and his theory of evolution... pity.... fair enough not to be a communist... but try and get your facts straight concerning evolution... had to act on this

  • @hasjkdhlsjakDHLASJKD I am not as talented a writer as Karl Marx or Charles Darwin so I apologise that I have not been able to go in completely in depth in my discussion of both of these concepts with the constraints of 500 characters. I do have a thorough knowledge of Darwin's 'The Evolution of Species'; I studied it in English Literature after all. I find it rather condescending that you assume I do not know about either of these concepts just because I only outlined my argument.

  • @jammakane10 that said marx should be recognised for his ratonale behind it which was to provide an alternative to capitalism that didnt reslt in worker exploitation even thoughof course the applied version DID result in it. , that said our system isnt pure capitalism either, nor was it back in the 19th century.

    but my guess is that a sstem thats the best is somewhere in between thats flui with capitalism to provide that drivebut also possesses a sytem protectings rights of workers etc.

  • @elgostine System!

  • @hasjkdhlsjakDHLASJKD If you were to meet me in real life and we would have a more thorough discussion of these concepts. Until then, try not to insult people and thus show your own lack of common intelligence.

  • @jammakane10

    STUDY HARDER

  • @wheregarbl communism would not work for the simple reason that Marx used building material from the capitalist with its flaws and all so even if communism appears drastic different its still defective exactly how capitalism is defective. Also i don't think any political theory accept fascism and dictatorship can be taken seriously in a post modern world, we have computers that changes EVERYTHING it also changes existentialism

  • @eraserhead321 He should have called for Socially Necessary Injury Time.

  • @TreachMarkets ha ha. nice :)

  • Wow! A football game without vuvuzelas!

  • Who's the one actual footballer?

  • @Android2137 Beckenbauer in the German team.

  • Archimedes was the best on this match, well any match, he was in favour of what became the scientific principle to investigate the natural world. Plato has been too strong in the West for too long, his idealism is just plain stupid. A good touch here is that Confucius is the judge, as he was in favour of family and order.

  • This is genious.

  • Robert Alexy would claim the rule is invalid,cause it's inefficient, as it differs from an erga omni sense of moral interpretation.

    Would have been helpful :P

  • it's actually more interesting than regular soccer

  • LMAO this is awesome and hillarious

  • our magnificent 2004 european cup winner had of course a german coach.

  • haha "Name go in bock"

  • German philosophers against Greek philosophers in a soccer match....

    Who else than Monty Python could think of something SO stupidly silly, and still make you ROFL 30 years after making it... It's incredible, simply XD

  • Hahaha .... and Marx was claiming it was offside!

    What a Line!

  • isnt beckenbauer a soccer player. Guess that WOULD be a bit of a surprise in a match like this

  • Does anyone know what happened to J. G. Fichte?...was he injured?

  • Damn,I thought the positioning of Socrates as sweeper would be a great impediment to the Greek team,not to mention that Marx failed to bring the Germans to par with the Greeks.I DEMAND A METAPHORICAL REMATCH!

  • commentor when Wittgenstein was about to get subbed off:

    "Wittgenstein went to see his auntie last week"

    Could someone explain this joke to me please?

  • @superstar122251 I guess its just poking fun at how regular sports announcers will throw in some background information when a pivotal decision like a substitution is made in-game

  • Marx was right... Socrates was offside.

  • Socrates was OFFSIDE! lol

  • genius... just... brilliant

  • What's funny about Confucius saying "name go in book"?

  • I love that Hegel is the captain of the Germans.

  • remove Beckenbauer and add Stirner.He would not pass the ball around but he could dribble like a god :P.

  • I love this skit. The first time I saw it I laughed so hard.

  • Alguém tinha que ter pelo menos uma idéia kkk

  • How was Socrates offside?

  • @klank99 As you can see, Socrates is ahead of Archimedes, and infront of all the germans. Pretty clear offside

  • actually, if the dribbler with the ball has already beaten the last defender, there is not such thing as offsides, archimedes had already gotten past the last guy, so it doesn't matter where Socrates is, he is onsides no matter what.

  • @DrFugue

    Plus, the use of a priori arguments only apply in your own half

  • @DrFugue I thought the rule was you had to be behind the ball... Socrates was in front of the ball and therefore offside.

  • so we can learn : marx was actually right :P

  • Socrates was actully offside !!

  • "and Marx is claiming he was offside."

  • haha beckenbauer is only there because of all of his quotes in german magazines and the press... he talks so much BS that it's almost philosophical

  • This reminded me when Antartica played Siberia in the same tournament in an earlier tie...both sides were so niave they played football for the whole 90 minutes! What a meaningless,boring game! The match ended in a pointless 4-4 draw.

    Thank God.,if he exists,for two classic sides like these two here.

  • I love seeing Nietzsche getting into a conflict with the refs, fairly appropriate.

  • We needed Khan. (smile)

  • socrates WAS offsides

  • i love this video wittgenstien gets substituted for Karl marx

  • there's beckenbauer

    haha

  • this is quite an interesting way of playing sport

  • thats funny !

  • This is one version of futebol where Brazil wouldn't dominate. With due respect to the philosophers of Brazil, they don't have a very strong team.

  • What philosophers?

  • The only one I know is Walter Carnielli who is a top class logician. But maybe they get to include Socrates in their team who obtained a degree in philosophy after his retirement from futebol.

  • @Guaguanco11 of course, brazil is a very young country, these philosophers are from a time where Brazil didn't exist, and I could say more 10 things but i'm tired

  • This is amazing.

  • ..and socrates...socrates scores!!

  • Name go in Box

  • Comment removed

  • "...accused Confucious of having no free will"

    LAWL.

  • haha "aristotle very much the man in form" gotta love those philosophy in-jokes

  • The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside...Fucking genius. lmfao!!

  • Fucking genius indeed!!

  • yeah, offsides killed me!

  • @dontsmokewithoutme ...and Marx is claiming it was offsides. Fucking brilliant. haha

  • @dontsmokewithoutme And, for once, Marx is right.

  • The Greeks are still lacking any proof that this goal wasn't just a mere image of self-projected sensory experiences deriving from the faculty of transcendental imagination thus stripping the goal of any manifestation in our reality!

  • man, are you a philosopher?

  • how do you want to make sure, that this self-projected sensory as you call it is not the proof itself for the real manifestation itself? i think that is what a supporter of materialism would argue

  • But where are the Germans getting their motivation from to argue its no goal in the first place? Confucius awarding the goal is an act no less or more real than the ball finding the back of the net. For the Germans to argue no goal, they have to testify to the reality of Confucius awarding the goal. You can't deny the goal's reality, and yet accept the reality of Confucius' awarding it.

    Either accept both, or deny both. And if it's the latter you choose, then theres nothing to argue about LOL

  • Q.E.D.

  • @lickdeznuts my thinker box hurts

  • @SchwarzundWeis They don't need to prove it because it is an accepted maxim, a basic truth requiring no proof necessary for any arguement, for without maxims it is impossible to answer any question, and a debate as simple as whether or not to order extra cheese on your pizza will leave you completely insane, wiggling in outraged annoyance like an octopus caught in lava.

  • @superlardbucket hey, i just copied and pasted a guys post before just to get the most thumbs up as possible. we humans have so simple motives, especially on youtube :-)

  • Exelente ! ;gracias ,desde argentina.

  • lmao, just amazing comedy genius

  • Hahaha, Oh God, I just wish I understood more about the philosophers to understand this better. One day I will come back and get all of the jokes I missed :P

  • I love Marx chasing after the referee arguing the call! Is that the "Communist Manifesto" he's pointing to and then hurls to the ground in disgust? ;)
